It was a Saturday evening in March，just before sundown，when we heard the screaming. I was out walking with my wife，Melissa，and our golden retriever(猎犬)，Kira，beside a lake when the peace was broken by a woman’s voice，calling out two names over and over.
We spotted her，almost immediately，three or four hundred feet away across the lake. Spring had come but there was still snow on the ground，the water covered by a layer of ice that had just started to thaw. Two big dogs were walking across it. They appeared to be quite old and were moving slowly. As we watched，the ice gave way beneath one dog and then the other，plunging them into the water.
We arrived at the scene a few minutes later，but the dogs already seemed to be showing the effects of the cold as they struggled weakly to escape. We realized that calling 911 would be useless—the dog farther out was in water about 20 feet deep and I feared neither of them would stay afloat long enough for the emergency services to arrive. Besides，I was probably qualified to carry out the rescue myself. I was practicing the kind of deep breathing my grandfather had taught me as I walked in. I wasn’t alone—Kira swam alongside me. Having Kira there was a huge support. We were able to go back to shore quickly.
The second dog was further out and I had to pause before I went back in. That’s when another technique I’d learned from my grandfather came into play. He’d taught me about a pressure point on the wrist that when pressed in the right way sends out an electrical signal，like a jolt of energy. That kept me warm as I set out again with，Kira. I maintained eye contact with the dog as we approached. With Kira’s encouragement，it followed us back. The owner was emotional—“I’m the luckiest woman alive!”she said.
1.What does the underlined word“thaw”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Melt. B.Shake.
C.Flow. D.Appear.
2.Why didn’t the writer call 911?
A.The writer’s dog has been trained to save lives.
B.The dogs could save themselves from the cold water.
C.There wasn’t enough time to wait for the emergency services.
D.The writer’s grandfather had taught him how to save the dogs.
3.What do we know about the second technique the writer learned from his grandfather?
A.It makes him brave. B.It keeps him warm.
C.It allows him stay focused. D.It helps him walk quickly.
4.Who accompanied and helped the writer while saving the dogs in the water?
A.His wife. B.The dogs’owner.
C.His grandfather. D.His dog.

It was on the early afternoon of a mid-October day in 2012. Bismark Mensah, who came to America several months ago, was collecting carts (手推车) outside a Walmart in Federal Way. It was a part-time job for him. He earned $9.05 an hour in charge of getting carts out of the parking lot.
He was used to finding stuff in carts that customers had somehow forgotten — keys, credit cards, wallets. And he turned them into a customer service. But a particular item stood out. It was a white envelope with a clear window in the middle, and there was a lot of cash in it, around $20,000. Mensah turned them into customer services.

I was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn’ t be late for! I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries. A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this date.
We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile —warm and reassuring — and I returned her gift by smiling back.
“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers，” she said.
“Yes, she’ s special，” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out. “It’ s only our second date，but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’ ，”Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’ t figure out why she’ d want to date a guy like me.”
“Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said. “My husband used to bring me flowers every week — even when times were tough and we didn’ t have much money. Those were incredible days; he was very romantic and — of course — I miss him since he’ s passed away.”
I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.
It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased.“You have a wonderful evening,” I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.
I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later，when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me，she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her — that was the night that I won her heart.
1.Why was the writer in a hurry that day?
A. He was to meet his girlfriend.
B. He had to go back to school soon.
C. He was delayed by an elderly lady.
D. He had to pick up some groceries.
2.What does the underlined phrase “her gift” (Paragraph 2) refer to?
A. Her words. B. Her smile. C. Her flowers. D. Her politeness.
3.Why did the writer give his flowers to the elderly lady?
A. She told him a nice story. B. She allowed him to pay first.
C. She gave him encouragement. D. She liked flowers very much.
4.What does the underlined word “ seal” mean in the last paragraph?
A. envelop B. block C. an animal D. decide
5.What is the message conveyed in the story?

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg last night, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I was clinching (紧握) my fists with impatience.
At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroads with the traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I approached the light, it turned red and I braked to stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for' the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being arrested, because there were obviously no police around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of an agreement we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.
It's amazing that we ever trust each other to do the right thing, isn't it? And we do, too. Trust is our first tendency. We have to make a deliberate decision to mistrust someone or to be suspicious or skeptical. Those attitudes don't come naturally to us.
It's a very good thing too, because the whole structure of our society depends on mutual trust, not distrust. This whole thing around us would fall apart if we didn't trust each other most of the time. We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up; we deliver when we say we'll deliver; and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and when we don't do what we've promised, it's far from the normal. It happens often that we don't act in good faith and in a trustworthy manner, but we still consider it unusual, and we're angry or disappointed with those badly-behaved people. Anyway I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.
1.Why did the author feel impatient while driving?
A. Because he had already driven for a long time.
B. Because it was too far away from his destination.
C. Because something urgent happened in his family.
D. Because he could not overpass a truck on a narrow road.
2.The author stopped at the traffic light because .
A. there were passers-by crossing the road
B. some policemen were on duty just at that point
C. the trust between people influenced the author
D. there was potential danger
3.What would happen if people didn't trust each other in most cases?
A. A11 the things would run normally.
B. The social system would be thrown into disorder.
C. The social traditions would be abandoned.
D. Strict rules and laws would be made.
4.What is the theme of the passage?
A. Mutual Trust is the best policy.
B. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
C. Actions speak louder than words.
D. Among the blind the one-eyed is the king.
