My daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up to situations, and is hesitant(犹豫的) to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants. But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.

This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane (习泳区） in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon (三项全能).

On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she'd need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.

And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated （主宰） that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.

I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn't seen before.

All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.　　 Shine on, sweet baby.

1.Kelly is nervous when　　　 .

A. boys are around her　　 B. she changes into a leader

C. she is away from her mom　　 D. situations are new to her

2.We can know from Paragraph 3　　　　 .

A. the race began in the early morning

B. the whole family gave Kelly support

C. Kelly was eager for her turn in the race

D. Kelly prepared for her brother’s birthday party

3.Seeing Kelly’s performance in the race, the author felt　　　 .

A. excited and proud　　 B. anxious and uneasy

C. worried and hesitant　　 D. curious and concerned

4.In the ending paragraphs the author “felt like I won that day” because Kelly　　　 .

A. overcame the fear　　 B. expressed love to her

C. won the gold medal　　 D. took part in the sport

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

When my daughter realized that she had really hurt another child with a mean word, she cried and immediately wanted to apologize. That was a good thing, but I wanted her to know an apology can't always make things better. So I told her the story of Will, a 9-year-old boy whose father left his mom two years earlier.

Will was angry, and he often hurt others with hurtful words. He once told his mom, "I see why Dad left you!" Unable to deal with Will, the mother sent him to spend the summer with his grandparents. His grandmother's strategy to help Will learn self-control was to make him go into the garage and pound a two-inch-long nail (钉子) into a four-by-four board every time he said a mean thing. For a small boy, this was a hard task, but he couldn't return until the nail was all the way in.

After about ten trips to the garage, Will began to be more cautious about his words. In the end, he even apologized for all the bad things he'd said. One day his grandmother made him bring in the board filled with nails and told him to pull them all out. This was even harder than pounding them in, but after a huge struggle, he did it. His grandmother hugged him and said, "I appreciate your apology and, of course, I forgive you because I love you, but I want you to know that an apology is like pulling out one of those nails. Look at the board. The holes are still there. The board will never be the same. I know your dad put a hole in you, but please don't put holes in other people; you're better than that."

The truth is that no matter how much we apologize to people, we can't take back what we said. The best thing for us to do is to try not to hurt people in the first place.

1.What did the writer's daughter do when she realized she had hurt another child?

A. She cried and pretended to be hurt.

B. B. She wanted to say sorry to that child.

C. She wanted her mother to tell her a story.

D. She wanted her mother to apologize to that child.

2.Why did Will's mother send him to his grandparents'?

A. Because Will could hurt nobody there.

B. Because she was afraid that other children would hurt Will.

C. Because Will's grandparents told her they had a good way with children.

D. Because she didn't know how to stop Will from hurting others.

3.The underlined words "cautious about" in Paragraph 3 mean ___________.

A. careful about　 B. excited about

C. angry at 　　　　 D. interested in

4.What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage?

A. Parents should never hurt their children.

B. Children are more likely to listen to their grandparents.

C. We should not hurt other people in the first place.

D. Old people are really good at bringing up children.

高一英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

When my daughter was in the fifth grade, she came home from school almost every night with three or more hours of homework. It was my duty to help her get it done. One night she worked until midnight doing her homework.

I felt annoyed, but I didn’t want the teacher to think I was lazy. So I never complained. I wasn’t sure, but it seemed to me that five hours of homework was a bit too much for a fifth grade student.

Later, I found out that parents and educators have discussed about homework for more than a century. Parents who like more homework want to give their children every advantage to succeed in today’s world. Some educators see homework as a way to help students perform better in tests.

Other parents dislike the recent trend toward more homework. They don’t want to stay up until midnight helping their children. They would prefer to spend their time going to the park or reading some really good books with their children. Added to the opposition(反对)are those who say that homework increases the gap(差距)between the rich and the poor. That’s because middle class families do better when it comes to helping their children with their homework.

So, who is right? Is homework an enemy or a help? According to experts, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

1.The author thought that her daughter’s homework _________.

A．was too difficult

B．was too much to finish

C．was done more carefully than other students’

D．could be done as long as she helped her daughter

2.The author never complained to the teacher because _________.

A．she was too angry to talk with the teacher.

B．she did not like complaining.

C．she was afraid of being thought lazy by the teacher.

D．her daughter would be annoyed if she complained.

3.In the last paragraph, experts __________.

A．think middle school students should do lots of homework.

B．haven’t come up with any idea to solve this problem.

C．think homework should be given, but not too much.

D．support the idea that homework is good for students.

When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said” the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.

Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?

Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.

Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.

Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near——but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”

Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.

1.How do you understand ‘Point 1 —The telephone creates the need to communicate,…’？

2.Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?

3.Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people’s life?

a. Point 1.  b. Point2.  c. Point3.  d. Point 4.  e. Point 5.

4.It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through ________.

5.The best heading for the passage is________ .
