高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
My parents moved to Mississippi when my brother and I were small children, and we were separated from our Oklahoma grandparents by some 600 miles. This geographic distance allowed us to only visit our grandparents once a year, either at Christmas or during summer vacation.
Most of my classmates lived near their grandparents, and I would routinely hear stories of extended families(大家庭) regularly spending time with one another, fishing at "grandpa’s" house or going over to "grandma’s" for her famous fried chicken. We were disappointed that we did not get to spend more time with our grandparents, but our love for them remained deep and strong.
We always expected a road trip to Oklahoma. We would count the days, and when the day came, the entire family would pile into our car at four o’clock in the morning. Crossing the Mississippi River into Louisiana, the landscape(风景) changed. Crossing the Red River in Oklahoma, we were in a foreign world.
Every trip to see my grandparents can’t be without bringing delight. We jumped out of the car in their driveway to be met with bear hugs. My grandparents wanted to know everything about their grandchildren, and we would sit for hours and tell story after story. Grandma had a meal planned, and you could bet she fixed her grandsons’ favorite foods. Of course the best part of the visit was that we were able to do whatever we wanted without punishment from our grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa always had presents for us, neat scenic trips planned and lovely surprises, such as the time we got to go to a local restaurant and eat the world’s largest hamburger.
1.The family don’t visit the grandparents often because .
A.they seldom have a vacation
B.they have a bad attitude to them
C.they are all busy with their work
D.they live far away from each other
2.When hearing his classmates’ stories, the author .
A.often felt deep sorrow
B.would call his grandparents
C.felt a bit jealous at heart
D.would feel sorry for his poor life
3.Whenever the author and his brother met their grandparents, they .
A.were full of great excitement
B.found they were in a foreign world
C.shared cooking skills with each other
D.seemed not to be familiar with each other
4.What can we infer from the author’s story?
A.Distance can’t break the bond of love.
B.Physical separation hurts the heart deeply.
C.Distance leads to the most beautiful scene.
D.Family life is filled with love and understanding.

When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time that taught a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why _31_ had such a big influence _32_ a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult. But now, _33_ I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel _34_ to express my own opinion on this saying. I know that I am just a high school student with very few experiences. There are still many things waiting for me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.
I once read this sentence, “To make this world a happy place in which to live, you had better _35_ yourself and your heart, instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about _36_ itself. There are so many things around us that _37_ our will. We can’t force life to follow our wishes. The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we _38_ it or not . What we can do is just to make _39_ suit the world. I think we should learn to accept _40_ life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
The pop song Grandmother by Jay Chou is my favorite. I’m deeply moved by this beautiful song. I always try to _41_ every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see that I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more likely that they slip by(流逝)and leave you _42_ regretful. I realize that I’m not just living for myself and that there are others I should _43_ such as my parents, friends, and so on. They all pay attention to my growing up, _44_ it’s just a little progress.
Everyone has his or her own _45_ towards life, positive or negative. It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one rule that should be obeyed and that’s to make this world better.

Mom stopped her work and raised her head with 46 in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. She bent her head and continued to sew the quilt. I was 47 if I had hurt her.

I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until years later.

The Power of a Name
My full name is Lily Myunghi M. When my parents gave me this name, they created an important part of my identity that will be part of me forever.
My first name, Lily, was inspired by a story my mom heard a long time ago. Some people wanted to get rid of their tiger lilies, so they dug a deep, deep hole and threw the tiger lily plants in. For years, they felt they had succeeded in killing the lilies. But one spring, strong, green stocks rose to the surface. My mom named me Lily because she hoped for a beautiful daughter, who would also be strong and resilient, just like those orange blossomed lily plants.
My middle name is Myunghi. My mom, who is of Korean heritage, wanted to honor our Asian roots. The middle name means "clear-eyed girl" in Korean. My parents chose it because they believe life is difficult, and they hoped being "clear-eyed" would help me find my way in the world.
However, in English, Myunghi loses its beautiful meaning. It becomes the hesitation on people's faces as they stumble over its mere two syllables(音节). It becomes the surprised expressions of classmates who have never heard a name anything like it before It becomes a blushing(脸红的)little girl, embarrassed by her own name, a name that her parents put so much thought into.
When I was younger, I hid my middle name, pre tending it didn't exist. Looking back, I pity the girl who was too ashamed to reveal her full name to anyone.
My grandparents were raised in Korea, where parents take great care choosing a name with a meaning that will help their child through life. My grandparents were born into the Japanese Occupation of Korea and assigned Japanese names, which stripped(剥夺) away their cultural identities bit by bit.
I've grown to love and appreciate my name. I no longer hide my name, but instead, proudly announce it, since my grandparents could not. I accept this special part of my identity that was chosen especially for me.
My full name is Lily Myunghi M. It paints a magnificent picture of unconditional love, hope, and heritage coming together to form a girl. And that girl, is me.
1.We can know from the story that tiger lilies
A. are strong plants
B. are green stocks

A. She was ashamed of her Asian roots.
B. She felt awkward about her unusual name.

3.What does the author intend to tell us?
A. A good name brings a bright future.
B. Her name helps to keep her identity.
C. She appreciates the love from her parents.
D. Parents often pick an unusual name for the child.

After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?
That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. What’s worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.
However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher.
In my room, Mom’s voice compared with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other people’s challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.
True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. This was the most precious gift from a mother to her child.
1.The author and his parents keep silent on their way home from hospital because .
A. what the doctor said was worrying
B. the author failed in the exam
C. they were exhausted
D. they focused on the scenery along the road
2.The author manage to raise his marks in learning by .
A. being confident
B. getting help from his teacher
C. listening attentively(专心地)
D. competing with his classmates
3.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The author’s eyes recovered finally.
B. Reading made the author more sensitive.
C. The author’s mother quitted her job to look after him.
D. Reading helped the author a lot both academically and mentally.
4.Which of the following could be the title of the text?
A. My eyesight trouble
B. An unforgettable experience
C. My good hearing
D. A precious gift from mother
