 本文是一篇记叙文。全文讲述了一名纽约人Michael Greenberg助人为乐的故事。Michael Greenberg是一位商人,但是他与其他商人不一样,每年冬天他都要赠送大量的手套给穷人,因为他觉得赠送手套虽然是件小事,但是在冬天里对别人却是非常重要的。
小题1:解析:选A。根据文章第一句Michael Greenberg is a very popular New Yorker.以及第16空前面的But可知,此处应填Know about“知道”。learn from向……学习;cheer for为……加油;look after照料。
小题2:解析:选D。根据后文第五段第二句中的many poor New Yorkers know him...以及常识可知,冬天的时候穷人可能没手套,所以尤其是那些“穷人”知道他。
小题3:解析:选B。联系空前的he is“Gloves” Greenberg我们知道,那些人叫他“Gloves” Greenberg,因此本句句意应该是“他是如何得到那个名字(name)的?”。
小题4:解析:选B。联系前文He looks like any other businessman(他与其他商人看上去一样)以及空前的But(表转折)可知,此处应填different(不一样的)。
小题5:解析:选A。联系后面的定语从句who look at the sidewalk and ____21____the street可知,look at 及21空都是路人的动作,所以选act。
小题6:解析:选C。联系常识我们知道,在冬天人们在街上急急忙忙地走,而且前半句意思为“看着人行道”,所以不可能选B(开车沿街走)。keep off远离……;cross over穿过(道路等)。二者均不符合句意,故排除。
小题7:解析:选B。联系前文可知Mr.Greeberg不像其他纽约人,他不看道路,而且从下文我们知道他在找没戴手套的人,所以他看人(people)。
小题8:.解析:选D。句意:当看到(see)没戴手套的人时,他会停下来。
小题9:.解析:选C。联系前文我们知道,他给人手套后,会继续找没戴手套的人,所以他会继续往前走(move on)。其他三个选项的意思是:hold up举起;阻碍;hang out 闲逛;turn around转身。
小题10:解析:选A。Mr.Greenberg在寻找没戴手套的人,根据常识可知,没戴手套的人当然是手(hands)冷。
小题11:解析:选C。联系前文我们知道Mr.Greenberg发放手套给穷人,所以此处为give away(赠送,发放)。其他三个选项的意思是:search for 寻找;store up贮存;put on穿上,均与语境不符。
小题12:.解析:选D。结合前文可知,他在冬天的时候发放手套,那么在一年中的其他时候,他当然就得买(buy)手套。
小题13:解析:选B。句意:听说了他的人就送手套给他,因此他的公寓里有许多手套。
小题14:解析:选C。Mr.Greenberg 21年前就开始(began)给大街上没戴手套的人送手套了。delay耽误;remember记得;enjoy喜欢。
小题15:解析:选A。因为他的这种做法由来已久,所以许多纽约的穷人认识他,理解他的行为。
小题16:解析:选D。根据句首的But可知,也有人不理解他的做法,所以感到吃惊(surprised)。be sorry for为……遗憾;be satisfied with对……感到满意;be proud of 以……为骄傲。
小题17:解析:选D。根据最后一段的第二句话可知,他这样做只是想让人感到快乐(happy)。
小题18:解析:选B。根据后面的Michael’s father always helped the poor...可知,Michael的父亲就总是帮助穷人,所以帮助人的这种行为是世代相传(run in the family)的。
小题19:解析:选C。联系前文可知,Michael的父亲认为帮助他人会让别人更快乐,Michael也是这样想的。
小题20:解析:选A。一副手套虽然是微不足道的东西,但在冬天却能起大作用。与make a big difference相对,选small。

China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them,all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year,I’ve found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However,people still use their bicycles to get around.For many,it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors-silver,green,red,blue,yellow,whatever you want.
It’s fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads,move skillfully through traffic,and ride even on sidewalks(人行道).Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture,I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的).To be safe,I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn’t want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide,so crossing took time,skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.
小题1:According to the author,why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A.Because they are traditional and safe.
B.Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C.Because they are colorful and available.
D.Because they are fast and environment friendly.
小题2:The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ________.
A.to ride it for fun
B.to use it for transport
C.to experience local culture
D.to improve his riding skills
小题3:How did the author feel about his street crossing?

C.It was lively.D.It was wonderful.
小题4:Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?

(2013·高考福建卷,A)When I was 12,all I wanted was a signet (图章) ring.They were the “in” thing and it seemed every girl except me had one.On my 13th birthday,my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it.I was in heaven.
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn’t being “replaced”.We’d been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the “new” stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we’d lost.But not my ring.My ring was new.
Then,only one month later,I lost it.I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning.I was sad and searched everywhere for it.But it seemed to have disappeared.Eventually,I gave up and stopped looking for it.And two years later,we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed,and a couple of moves later,I was visiting my parents’ when Mum told me that she had something for me.It wasn’t my birthday,nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift­giving occasion.Mum noticed my questioning look.“You’ll recognize this one,”she said,smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box.I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.
The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations,which included replacing the carpets.When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom,they found the ring.As it had my initials carved into it,they realized who owned the ring.They’d had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother.
And it still fits me.
小题1:The underlined word “in” in the first paragraph probably means“________”.
A.fashionable B.available
C.practical D.renewable
小题2:When she got the ring back,the writer was about ________.
A.13 years old B.15 years old

(2013·高考北京卷,B)Two dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park.The smaller dolphin,Grace,shows off a few of her tricks,turning around and waving hello to the crowd.The most amazing thing about her,however,is that she’s even swimming at all.She doesn’t have a tail.

Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap.When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005,she was fighting for her life.“Is she going to make it?”Her trainer,Abbey Stone,feared the worst.Grace did make it—but her tail didn’t.She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.
Over the past six years,she has learned to swim without her tail.Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down.Grace taught herself to move another way—like a fish! She pushed herself forward through the water by moving her peduncle from side to side.
The movements put harmful pressure on Grace’s backbone.So a company offered to create a man­made tail for her.The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn’t hurt her.
The first time Grace wore the artificial tail,she soon shook it off and let it sink to the bottom of the pool.Now,she is still learning to use the tail.Some days she wears it for an hour at a time,others not at all.“The new tail isn’t necessary for her to feel comfortable,”says Stone,“but it helps to keep that range of motion (动作) and build muscles (肌肉).”
Now,the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending.This month,Grace will star in Dolphin Tale,a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery.Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie.Many people travel from near and far to meet her.Seeing Grace swim with her man­made tail gives people so much courage.
小题1:When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park,her trainer worried about her________.
A.physical build
B.potential ability
C.chance of survival
D.adaptation to the surroundings.
小题2:A man­made tail is created for Grace to________.
A.let her recover faster
B.make her comfortable
C.adjust her way of swimming
D.help her perform better tricks
小题3:The story of Grace inspires people to________.
A.stick to their dreams
B.treat animals friendly
C.treasure what they have
D.face difficulties bravely

Alone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A world of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the midday sun. Everything motionless. Not a sound from sky or earth. Complete silence. Only some coconuts falling, at long intervals, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation. Stretched out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs.
Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!
Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company. A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden, but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is restricted to hunted animals, slaves and modern man. It is as great an effort for an office clerk to walk five blocks with a loaded brief-case as it is for a jungle-dweller to cross a valley with a goat on his back. It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months. The body is strange. Spare it, and you get really tired for almost nothing; use it, and almost nothing makes you really tired.
I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland plains, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.
小题1:What’s the right order of the following events?
① I heard a horse neighing down in the valley.
② I went to the jungle.
③ I found an ant carrying a bit of dry straw.
④ I lay on the ground to have a break.
⑤ I picked fruits and chopped firewood.
A.②③⑤①④B.⑤③②④①C.②⑤④③①D.⑤④③②①
小题2:How does the author feel about the ant?
A.He admired its attitude toward work.
B.He was amazed at its tireless efforts.
C.He showed sympathy for the little ant.
D.He was content to have it as a companion.
小题3:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author would probably          .
A.work harder than beforeB.talk to the man on the horse
C.make his way homeD.stay in the valley
小题4:We can learn from the passage that the author          .
A.enjoyed being alone
B.experienced a world of quietness
C.missed his busy life in the city
D.had an unforgettable adventure

Three men were travelling across the desert when their car broke down. There were no other traffics, so their only hope was to walk.
Before they set off, they looked around in the car for useful things to take with them. One of the men took a bottle of whisky. Another took an umbrella. The third unscrewed a door from the car and carried that.
After they had been walking for almost a day, they came across a camel caravan travelling towards them.
“Let’s try to join the caravan,” one of the men said. “It’s going the wrong way but we’ll be safer than if we keep on alone across the desert.”
The other s agreed, so they asked the leader of the caravan for permission to join it.
“You can join the caravan only if you answer three questions,” he said. He pointed to the first man’s bottle. “What is that and why are you carrying it?” he asked.
“It’s a bottle of whisky. I decided to carry it with me so that if I feel miserable and want to give up, I can get drunk, cheer myself up and then keep on walking.”
“Very sensible,” the leader of the caravan said. Then he pointed to the next man and his umbrella.
“It hasn’t rained in the desert for many years,” he said. “Why are you carrying an umbrella?”
“I don’t want to get heat exhaustion,” he replied. “The umbrella will give me shade from the sun.”
“Very sensible,” the leader of the caravan said. He pointed to the third man and his car door. “And why are you carrying a car door?” he asked him.
“I thought that if I got too hot I could open the window and let some air in,” he explained.
小题1:What happened to the three men’s car?
A.It fell over a cliff.
