When we are grown-ups, it’s quite natural to look back on our different stages of life and remember who was there to see us through. 1. While some people’s high school friendships gradually end, mine have struck with me through every bit of life since. And I suppose high school friends are the friends you’ll build the strongest relationships with.

2. Whether it is the bad haircut or the braces(牙箍) you wear, your high school friends help you through it all. They tell you that you look wonderful when you cannot go out in public with that hairdo. 3.

They understand the most about you. High school friends know you better than anyone else. They can just look at you and know how you’re feeling. You cannot hide much from them. 4. And they’d rather help deal with the problem at hand than let it go. So even when you don’t want to hear it, prepare yourself ----because they’re not going to stop trying until you’re back to your normal yourself.

They make for the best reunion. Reunions are harder to organize when friends live across the country. However, with high school friends, it’s easy to enjoy the time together----you can often pick up just where you left off, no matter how long ago that was. Friendships can be hard to keep. 5.

A. We could depend on our friends all the time.

B. They are with you through your embarrassing stages.

C. They can sense something is off when you’re the slightest bit strange.

D. For me, I often think about my fantastic group of high school friends.

E. They build up your self-confidence to get you through each tough situation.

F. Let’s pray the flower of friendship would always bloom brightly in our hearts.

G. But it never seems like hard with the ones you’ve known and loved for long.

Looking back on my childhood, I am quite sure that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon left their pressed flowers and insects completely forever. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental mathematics.

Before World War I, we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and of my toys. Nor do I remember clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the insects

I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my interest had led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite subjects and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people’s discoveries. Then something happens that brings these discoveries together in my mind. Suddenly you imagine you see the answer to the question, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.

But interest, a good eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and necessary qualities required is self-discipline(自我修养), a quality I lack. A scientist, up to point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.

1.The first paragraph tells us the author __________.

A. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood

B. lost his hearing when he was a child

C. didn’t like his brothers and sisters

D. was born to a naturalist’s family

2.The author can’t remember his relatives clearly because __________.

A. he didn’t live very long with them

B. the family was extremely large

C. he was too young when he lived with them

D. he paid more attention to nature

3.The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he __________.

A. has a great deal of trouble doing mental mathematics

B. lacks some of the qualities required of s scientist

C. just reads about other people’s discoveries

D. comes up with solutions in a most natural way

When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we’re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.

One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor’s degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there’s a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.

I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “diluting(稀释)”the quality of the education they offer.

In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.

1.Which of the following can be the best title?

A. It’s time to shorten the learning process

B. Best learning takes place over time

C. University education should be watered down

D. College education calls for reform

2.In most US universities, ________ .

A. some excellent students can graduate ahead of time

B. college students are offered the co-op program

C. electives’ credits make up one quarter of the required credits

D. all students are required to finish four-year education before graduation

3.We can infer that ________ .

A. the author is a college professor

B. the author considers the university education quality very important

C. the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to afford

D. the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students

4.The first paragraph serves as a(n) ________ .

A. explanation　　 B. Definition　　 C. Comment　　 D. introduction

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

It is quite natural for all of us to want to preserve and protect the foods we buy. We always think that the best way is by putting them in our refrigerators. However, there are certain foods which should never be placed in the fridge. The foods listed below may surprise you.

Bananas in the fridge? Because they keep nutrients better outside the fridge, they should never be placed inside the refrigerator. Bananas are better kept on the counter until they ripen. The cold temperatures actually slow down the ripening process of the bananas, while the moisture and darkness of the fridge will only make them go bad.

Potato should be placed in a cool, dry and dark space. By reason of the cold temperatures of the fridge, it can turn starch（淀粉）into sugar more rapidly. It is also recommended that potatoes be removed from plastic or paper bags they may have been placed in. Also, keep them unwashed, as well as in a well-ventilated cardboard box.

Placing your onions inside your refrigerator will eventually end up turning them moldy and soft. Unpeeled（未剥皮的）onions should be kept out of plastic bags and fridge. One of the reasons for this is because unpeeled onions require and need air exposure for maximum life. If you have peeled an onion though, then you should keep it in the fridge, in a covered container.

Believe it or not, placing garlic in your refrigerator will actually cause it to sprout（发芽）. The garlic will also got moldy and even rubbery. Moreover, inside your fridge, the look of the garlic will rarely change. This means you won’t be able to tell if it’s any good until you finally slice it open.

1.Which can be put in the refrigerator according to the text?

高一英语七选五简单题查看答案及解析

It is quite natural for all of us to want to preserve and protect the foods we purchase. With that in mind,　 we often think that the best way to do that is by putting them in our refrigerators. However, that is not always the case.

Bread

Nothing dries out bread faster than your refrigerator. In the event that you have made sandwiches with the bread, then you can place them in the fridge. The cold temperature will make the bread tough and chewy.

Tomato

We all love tomatoes for their taste. But putting them in the refrigerator will cause them to lose all of their flavor (口味). Plus, the cold air in the cooler stops the ripening process as well. And as we all know, ripening is what gives every tomato more taste and flavor. For best results, keep tomatoes out, and inside a basket or a bowl on your counter.

Salad

Oil or vinegar based salad can be stored for a long period of time without refrigeration. Moreover, refrigeration of salad dressings brings bad smell. Keep in mind that some salads that are mayo (蛋黄酱) or yogurt based should be refrigerated in order to keep them fine. So if you have some salads that have been already dressed, you can keep them away from your fridge without any hesitation.

Egg

It is a long debate whether you should keep eggs inside your refrigerator or not. One study suggests that keeping eggs whether in a refrigerator or not does not change their normal qualities, so it can be said that if you keep eggs at room temperature, there should not be any problem. There is another study that shows that keeping eggs inside the refrigerators has a bad effect on the natural taste and flavor of eggs, so it is wise to keep eggs outside of your fridge.

1.Which of the following lose(s) water quickest in the cooler?

A.Bread B.Tomatoes.

C.Salad. D.Eggs.

2.What should we do with tomatoes to get the best taste?

A.Put them in the cooler. B.Cook them at once.

C.Make them ripen faster. D.Leave them in the shade.

3.What will go bad easily without refrigeration?

A.Dressed salad. B.Mayo and yogurt.

C.Oil and vinegar. D.Salad dressings.
