I love it at night. It’s peaceful. And when it cools down I sometimes do some ironing. I don’t really care for it. I work full-time and am too busy for most housework. I remember the old woman who taught me to iron(熨烫). I was about 15 and somehow got a live-in job taking care of a woman who had been an able-bodied, healthy woman until the accident that caused her to be paralyzed.

The woman had an electric wheelchair. She could move her head and arms but not her hands or fingers. She had this clamp（夹子）attached to her arm and I’d have to open it and put a cup or a pencil in it and then she could move it. She would tell me how to do things. She would instruct me in great detail on the correct way to do things. Her home was perfect and beautiful. She would follow me around in her electric wheelchair to make sure I did everything exactly right. I’m sure she had been a perfect homemaker. She would have me fold everything, including socks and pillow cases. I would complain silently and wish terrible things on her. She taught me the right way to make the bed and tuck the corners. I know sometimes she’d get frustrated and impatient with me. I knew she wanted to grab it and do it herself. But she never yelled or scolded. Only she insisted I do it right. I didn’t like it much, but I did it.

Today I can iron pretty well. I know where to start on a shirt, the right way to do the collar and sleeves. Now that I think about it, I don’t think she is an old lady. I think she might have been about my age now. Anyway, when I iron, I think of her and silently thank her for all the things I learned.

高一英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

I sat down, with food in my lap, waiting to watch a movie. It sounds like a typical Friday night at home, but this time it was not. I was sitting down in a theatre of over 300 Filipinos speaking their native tongues. We were watching a film named Ulam: Main Dish. It’s directed by a Filipino-American director, and it’s about Filipino / Filipino-American food.

Right before the film began, I was caught in this realization: this is a film created　 by my people, for my people and about my people, and shared with an audience much larger than just us. This was the first time I had ever experienced a film of this nature. I could understand its stories and culture. The theatre went dark and before the film rolled, my eyes were already overflowed (洋溢)with pride.

I was watching this film at the Reel Asian Film Festival. At this year’s festival, I joined the Reel Asian team as their Social Media Assistant. This meant that during the festival I could actually get to speak to the filmmakers, actors, producers, etc. Particularly, I had the chance to speak to filmmakers about why a festival like this is important to them.

Through talking with them, I learned that there is something really unique about the Reel Asian Film Festival. It brings good Asian cinema a home in what is known as an incredibly diverse city, allowing these stories to be told to a diverse audience of diverse views.

For anyone looking to find themselves in a film, learn more about other cultures, and enjoy a good movie, I truly believe that Reel Asian is the place to be. As an annual event, it's so well planned and organized, and so much expectation is being built.

1.How did the author probably feel while watching the movie?

A.She found the faces in the film strange.

B.She realized making a film was really hard.

C.She became very proud of being an American.

D.She could relate to the cultural information of the movie.

2.What did the author’s position at the festival allow her to do?

A.Ask directors for a role. B.Sell her works to producers.

C.Communicate with those making films. D.Form a filming team of her own.

3.According to the author, what is a function of the festival mentioned?

A.Introducing Asian films to more people.

B.Introducing other cultures to Asian producers.

C.Helping Asian people know more about foreign movies.

D.Helping Asian restaurants develop new markets.

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

When a rabbit sees something dangerous, it runs away. Its tail moves up and down as it runs. When other rabbits see this tail moving up and down, they run too. They know that there is danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has given them a signal（信号）.

Many other animals use this kind of language. When a bee has found some food, it goes back to its home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is.

Some animals say things by making sounds. A dog barks, for instance, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs （咕噜咕噜） when pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning.

But human beings have something that no animal has ---a large number of words which have the meanings of things, actions, feelings or ideas. We are able to give each other information, to tell or inform other people what is in our mind or how we feel. By writing words down we can remind （提醒）ourselves of the things that have happened, or send messages to people far away. No animals can do this. No animals have the wonderful power of language.

No one knows how man learned to make words. Somehow he learned to make them. As centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.

People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we don not know all these. The words we know are called vocabulary. We should try to make our vocabulary larger. Read as many books as possible. When we meet a new word, look it up in the dictionary. A dictionary is the most useful book.

1.A rabbit moves its tail up and down in order to __________.

A. tell other rabbits where the food is

B. warn other rabbit of danger

C. make itself look strong

D. help itself to run fast

2.A dog can tell something by _________.

A. singing　　 B. dancing　　 C. jumping　 D. barking

3.Only human beings are able to ______.

A. give others information

B. tell others how they feel

C. express their feelings with words

D. make different sounds, each with its own meaning

4.The underlined word “contain” in Paragraph 6 probably means ______.

A. covers　　 B. checks　　 C. changes　 D. catches

5.According to the passage, how can we make our vocabulary larger?

A. By talking much to others

B. By learning more languages

C. By looking up any word in a dictionary

D. By doing as much reading as possible
