For the past two years I have been travelling...

For the past two years I have been travelling and living abroad. Home has become more of a feeling than a place. I feel at home when I am with my family in London, but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love. Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows. It is more complicated than that.

This is one of the reasons that celebrating the new year has become very important for me. I do not care about "New Year’s resolutions(愿望)” - living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don't feel the need to plan for change: I live for change.

New Year’s Eve has become my time to reconnect with the friends that makes me feel at home. Every year we try to reunite wherever we are and remember the time when we knew each other so well that we felt like a family. It is a moment to reconnect and get to know each other again. Last year, we travelled to a cottage in Ireland where we had no internet and no neighbours. In the middle of the countryside, away from our big and constantly changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again.

This year, we went to Barcelona. It was a very big change. We were surrounded by culture and life and joy. There were bars and parties. It was different, but one thing stayed very much the same-I felt at home again and we felt like a family again.

A lot of people feel that New Year’s Eve cannot live up to expectations. Ideas such as the "New Year's kiss" and "resolutions" create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember, a night that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year one worth living. I think those people are missing the point. If Christmas is about family, why can't New Year be about friends?

1.What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph I probably mean?

A. Family. B. Living abroad.

C. Home. D. Staying with friends.

2.Why doesn't the author care about "New Year's resolutions"?

A. New Year’s resolutions cannot be reached.

B. His lifestyle makes him always ready for change.

C. It's meaningless to make any big changes in life.

D. Making New Year's resolutions creates much pressure.

3.What does the author try to convey through his experiences in Ireland and Barcelona?

A. Life is peaceful and enjoyable.

B. Living abroad is a happy experience.

C. Staying with friends makes one feel at home.

D. Travelling abroad enriches one's life experience.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. New Year's Celebration:How? B. True Friendship: What?

C. Living Abroad: Comfortable or Complicated? D. Change:Plan it or Make it?

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

For the past two years, 8-year-old Harli Jordean from Stoke Newington, London, has been selling marbles(弹珠). His successful marble company, Marble King, sells all things marble-related － from affordable tubs of the glass playthings to significantly expensive items like Duke of York solitaire tables － sourced, purchased and processed by the mini-CEO himself.

“I like having my own company. I like being the boss,” Harli told the Mirror.

With profits now in the thousands, “the world’s youngest CEO” has had to get his mother and older brothers to help him meet the growing demand.

Harli launched Marble King after swapping marbles at school led to schoolchildren consuming his marble collection. Yes, he literally “lost his marbles.” Harli and his mother, Tina, turned to the Internet to find replacements.

Harli saw an empty space online: the marbles he wanted were hard to find. Within months, Harli had his own marble-selling website － and orders started pouring in.

Tina says her son's attachment to marbles started when he was just 6.

“His attachment became so passionate that we started calling him the Marble King — so when he wanted to set up a website it was the natural name for it,” she told The Sun.

“I never thought it would become so popular － we are struggling to cope with the number of orders at times.”

The 8-year-old boy has his sights set on expanding his business and launching his own brand of marbles.

“Sometimes his ideas are so grand we have to scale them back a bit. But his dream is still to own Britain's biggest marble shop and open stores around the world,” Tina told The Daily Mail.

“At the moment he is annoying me by creating his own Marble King marbles － so that could well be the next step for him.”

1.Harli’s Marble Company became popular as soon as he launched it because ______.

A. it was run by “the world’s youngest CEO”

B. it filled the gap of online marble trade

C. Harli was fascinated with marble collection

D. Harli met the growing demand of the customers

2.How many mass media are mentioned in the passage?

A. One　　 B. Two　　 C. Three　　　 D. Four

3.The underlined expression “scale them back” is closest in meaning to ______.

A. hold them down　　　 B. carry them out

C. set them aside　　　 D. clear them away

4. What message do the last two paragraphs carry?

A. Conflicts often occur between Harli Jordean and his family.

B. Harli’s mother and brothers are worried about Marble King’s future.

C. Marble King marbles will surely attract more fans around the world.

D. The “Marble King” has great ambition for his Marble King company.
