The huge T-rex (霸王龙) bends over a large trice...

The huge T-rex (霸王龙) bends over a large triceratops (三角龙) lying on his side below. With its mouth open wide, the T-rex looks ready to kill the triceratops with a final bite to the triceratops’s neck. The display will be found at the National Museum of Natural History.

The museum has sought a huge T-rex skeleton (骨架) for many years. Before, it used a model of one. But museum director Kirk Johnson says that was never good enough. “It’s been kind of deeply embarrassing to be the national museum and NOT have a T-rex,” he said. The T-rex display is now the centerpiece of the museum’s newest show, which will be available to the public on July 15.

That T-rex, named Sue, was found in South Dakota. Officials at the museum built a special area for the skeleton. It includes a gift store of all things related to Sue. Sue even has her own Twitter account and a media presentation of her life story.

In modern times, movies like “Jurassic Park (侏罗纪公园)” have helped grow dinosaur interest for a new generation of young fans. But such movies describe the T-rexes as mostly huge, stupid and dangerous animals, which are true threat in the fighting: quick, intelligent and aggressive hunters in groups.

1.What is described in Paragraph 1?

A.How a T-rex hunts in the wild.

B.How a T-rex will be displayed in a museum.

C.How a T-rex is painted in a picture.

D.How a T-rex is filmed in a movie.

2.What do we know about the T-rex skeleton?

A.It was found in Australia.

B.It has been open to the public.

C.It is valued by the museum.

D.It is still a model one.

3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.Movies about dinosaurs should be reduced.

B.The young generation dislikes dinosaurs.

C.The T-rex is a kind of huge, stupid dinosaur.

D.Some movies are misleading in a way.

I've been taking time this week to smell the roses. Literally, I bend over in my neighbors' front yard, check that nobody is watching, and then bury my head in the flowers.

I've also been walking into bakeries and walking around without buying anything. After having surgery on my broken nose 18 months ago, I haven't been able to smell or taste things. This week, however, my nose is back in business. I've been overwhelmed by smells, and it's given me a new way of thinking. Scent is just one of the little bits and pieces that make life enjoyable, but which we often ignore. I remember once, when my son was five months old, I was carrying him down the street. Wind swept through and almost tipped us over. He threw his little head back and giggled. He'd never felt the wind on his face. When is the last time I laughed at the weather?

The first time I ate bacon, I rushed home to my parents, determined that we ate this deliciousness at every meal. My father smiled and agreed. Do you recall when you learned that the voice actors of Mickey and Minnie Mouse were married in real life? Do you enjoy sleeping in new clean bedsheets? Is there someone on the radio whose voice is as smooth as velvet?

We don't write postcards about the small things. We don't frame them in photo-graphs. They aren't that great or grand, but without them, life is altogether too loud. These quiet experiences give us a chance to enjoy the simple fact of being alive. As my sense of smell returns to me, it's like I'm smelling things for the first time. They're full of memories and magic. Food tastes better, and the air is indeed sweet. I know what the poets mean now. It almost makes my broken nose worthwhile. Now, I am waiting for this bandage to come off. There's an itch I can't reach!

1.The writer in the passage mainly tries to _______.

A.discuss how to enjoy leisure time B.show that she loves doing secret things

C.give examples of how she kills time D.persuade readers to enjoy small things in life

2.According to the writer, “a new way of thinking” in the second paragraph means _______.

A.the ability to discover the joy of small things B.the habit of overcoming ignorance

C.the ability to fully use our limited attention D.the habit of making personal reflections

3.The writer recalls that _______.

A.her father enjoyed sleeping in new clean bedsheets.

B.her son was frightened when feeling the wind on his face.

C.she couldn't resist temptation when eating bacon for the first time.

D.she always ignored the great things in life.

4.One small thing mentioned in the last paragraph is _______.

A.a joyful memory B.a quiet experience

C.the sense of smell D.the simple fact of being alive

Next year marks the 150th anniversary of when large numbers of Chinese started working on a huge project in the United States. They help to build America’s first transcontinental railroad between 1863 and 1869, connecting the East Coast with the West.

People know little about the Chinese railroad workers and what happened to them after the project was finished. Stanford University in California wants to learn more about the lives of these men by reaching out to their families.

Bill Yee’s ancestors came from southern China. He said, “My great-great-grandfather came to America during the‘gold rush’days and he returned to China as a wealthy man. And then my great-grandfather came to work on the railroad and died there.”

But that did not stop his grandfather from coming to the US on false papers. He operated a laundry. Bill Yee’s father continued to run the business and has never returned to China.

“Things were pretty bad in some parts of China in the 1860’s. They came to America at all costs in order that they no longer had to bear hunger,” Bill Yee said.

Shelley Fisher Fishkin is helping to direct the Chinese Railroad Workers in North America Project at Stanford University. She said, “Many of the Chinese workers who came to work on the transcontinental and other railroads returned to China after their work was done and created families there. Some of them settled in America and created new families, but they had families who they left when they came here and they may have descendants in China.”

There is a need to create a record of the object and spoken history from the families of the railroad workers.

“The US could not have become the modern industrial nation without the railroads. And the railroads would not have come together without the work of these Chinese workers,” said Shelley Fisher Fishkin.

1.What do you know about Bill Yee?

A. His family was rich in the 1860’s.

B. His father settled in the USA.

C. He knows little about his ancestors and hopes to know more.

D. His grandfather came to America with his great-grandfather.

2.According to Bill Yee, many Chinese went to America in the 1860’s mainly 　　　　　　 .

A. to run their own businesses

B. to find their ancestors

C. to make a living

D. to dig gold

3.According to Shelley Fisher Fishkin,　　　　　　 .

A. the descendants of the Chinese railroad workers all live a good life

B. they expect to find all the descendants of the Chinese railroad workers

C. some Chinese railroad workers hope they can find their descendants in China

D. some Chinese railroad workers have descendants both in China and the US

4.Why did Stanford University carry out the project?

A. Because they want to help the Chinese railroad workers’ descendants to get together.

B. Because they want to show the importance of America’s first transcontinental railroad.

C. Because they want to learn more about how to build a railroad in the past in America.

D. Because they want Americans to remember the Chinese railroad workers’ role in US history.

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Homelessness is a huge problem all over the world. It’s said that each day there are about 1 million people living on the streets in the US. It is a serious problem which should be dealt with effectively.

There are two main reasons for people leaving their homes: poverty and less affordable houses due to bad economic conditions. Other reasons include: domestic violence, divorce, and mental illness. Living without a home makes people main targets of violence activities and besides, these homeless people have to face the following difficulties on a daily basis.

They have to move about, carrying their belongings, which makes it difficult for the charity and the government to help them. They have limited access to bathrooms and restrooms and are forced to live in dirty conditions, making them easy to be attacked by diseases. They have limited access to health-care facilities in case of emergency, and almost no access to education as they have no money. They are often ill-treated by society, which makes them unfriendly, often ending up being involved in activities connected with crime like selling drugs or guns.

Homelessness is not something that happened overnight --- it has been in the country for decades. The society usually believes those living on the street to be mentally unstable. This belief is partially true. Most of them are normal people just like you and me.

The federal government is doing all it can to help but it is not enough, so the ordinary citizens have to stand up and try to help whenever it’s possible. There are various organizations, such as charity organizations that are working constantly to make sure that homeless people find a shelter to live in. the united efforts have helped millions of people return to their normal lifestyle. However, there is still a long way to go before a better situation is created for all the homeless.

2.The homeless are usually treated as __________.

A．having mental problems                  B．a danger to society

C．physically disabled people                 D．being too lazy to do anything

① the government ② homeless people ③ charity organizations ④ the ordinary citizens
