高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Janelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a quick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out. What she saw there made her stop dead in her tracks.

Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, she wasn’t exactly obsessive-compulsive(有强迫观念和行为的) about the neatness of her clothes. But her boss at the restaurant where she works saw things a little differently. He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean, unwrinkled blouses. As an assistant manager, Janelle felt it was important to set an example for the other employees. But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late —and work without delay was an area of even greater concern to her boss.

So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she continued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem.

And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the collar and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. Then it suddenly seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. It took more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her shirt properly. And she spent a miserable shift dealing with the pain of the burn.

We’ve all been there, haven’t we? For me it was cutting my own hair. For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wisdom teeth. For another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.

“There’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” Dad used to tell me whenever I’d spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn. “If a thing is worth doing,” he said, “it’s worth doing it right.” There’s a reason why certain things are done in certain ways. Those old, boring, predictable ways work.

1.Jenelle found in the mirror that __________.

A．there were stains on her blouse　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

B．her blouse was wrinkled

C．she wore heavy makeup　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

D．she put on a wrong blouse

2.It’s learned from Paragraph 2 that______________.

A．Jenelle had no sense of responsibility at work

B．Jenelle failed to set an example for employees in daily work

C．Jenelle didn’t care about the neatness of her clothes at all

D．Jenelle’s boss put doing something on time above appearance

3.What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?

A．We all have done loads of things like Janelle.

B．We are careful enough in daily life.

C．We all have done something creative.

D．We all have tried to iron clothes while we are wearing them.

4.What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph ?

A．Be creative.　　　　　　　　　　 B．A bad beginning makes a bad ending.

C．Stick to old ways.　　　　　　　 D．Do things right.

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?

A. Flowers are important for a date.

B. Small talk is helpful.

C. Love and kindness are rewarding.

D. Elderly people deserve respecting.
