高二英语单词拼写中等难度题查看答案及解析

I began working in journalism(新闻工作) when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.

With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home.

“ How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.

“ None.”

“ Where did you go?”

“ The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”

“ What did you do?”

“ Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”

“ You just stood there?”

“ Didn’t sell a single one.”

“ My God, Russell!”

Uncle Allen put in, “ Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币). It was the first nickel I earned.

Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence(自信), and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.

One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.

“ If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “ you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.

My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.

1.Why did the boy start his job young?

A. He wanted to be famous in the future.

B. The job was quite easy for him.

C. His mother had high hopes for him.

D. The competition for the job was fierce.

2. From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _______.

A. excited        B. interested     C. ashamed          D. disappointed

3.What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?

A. She forced him to continue.              B. She punished him.

C. She gave him some money.            D. She changed her plan.

4.What does the underlined phrase “this battle”(last paragraph) refer to?

A. The war between the boy’s parents.

B. The arguing between the boy and his mother.

C. The quarrel between the boy and his customers.

D. The fight between the boy and his father.

5.What is the text mainly about?

A. The early life of a journalist.

B. The early success of a journalist.

C. The happy childhood of the writer.

D. The important role of the writer in his family.

高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

At thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊所）with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.

In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”

She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”

I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?

I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day-with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying?”

1.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because　　　　　　 .

A. He was new to the class

B. He had an attention disorder

C. He was tired of literature

D. He wanted to take the task home

2.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?

A. He made a great invention

B. He had good sight

C. He gave up reading

D. He learned a lot from school

3.What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?

A. Angry　　　　 B. Impatient　　　　 C. Encouraging　　　 D. Awkward

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.

B.It’s teachers’ responsibility to help students gain confidence.

C. Everyone needs help when faced with challenges.

D. The disabled should be treated with respect.
