It was a dark day, one of depression, sorrow and anger. As I climbed out of the   36   , after witnessing my time in the 100 yard freestyle, I did not feel like speaking to anyone. I saw the bright smiles of swimmers who had just   37 a best time.   38   , I had failed. Or at least that is what I thought at the time.
I was lying on my cool bed when an idea   39  me. Success is the   40  to go from failure to failure without losing your   41  . At practice the next day, I told my swimming teammates about my goal time and they all either laughed or replied with a   42  similar response like, “You can’t do it” or “Probably not”. Believe it or not, these are the responses that make my goal   43 .
Finally came the day when I had to   44  to myself and others that with     45    there is no limit to your achievements.
With the starting gun   46  , I dived with perfect form into the pool. I felt the cool water running   47  my back. I swam like a fish, bouncing off each    48   at the wall as if it was a spring board. On the   49  turn, I came back to the wall with every piece of strength I had. I   50  the final wall with my fingertips and I knew that I had swum the   51  race.
I had done it! I had achieved my best time! Joy filled my   52  like water does a cup. I saw the   53  on all of my friend’s face as I   54  out of the pool; their jaws dropped to the ground. I began to laugh and gave them the thumbs up.
I have   55  in life that having belief in yourself opens all gates. Never forget that anything the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.

科目：高中英语 来源：不详 题型：阅读理解

Something that has always interested me about Abraham Lincoln is，not surprisingly，his sense of humor. As far as I can tell，he's the first American President to have one．
That's because the term“sense of humor” really wasn't in common usage until the eighteen-sixties and seventies．In the eighteen-forties and fifties，it was called“the sense of the ridiculous," and didn't have the positive connotations（隐含意义）that“sense of humor" has today. Back then，what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule（讥笑）．Funniness and cruelty went hand in hand．Of course，they still do a lot of arm-in-arm walking in our day as well．
Lincoln’s humor was very different because，for one thing，it was actually "humor＂as what the word meant in his time. We don't make the distinction between "wit（风趣）”and "humor”anymore; but in the nineteenth century people did．Wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleasant and sympathetic．It’s the difference we note now when we distinguish between "laughing with”and“laughing at．”Lincoln was much more about "laughing with”than "laughing at．”And when“laughing at，”it was often himself he was teasing.
In the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates，when Douglas accused Lincoln of being two-faced，Lincoln replied，referencing his plain looking，“Honestly，if I were two-faced，would I be showing you this one？”And，in a way，Lincoln's face itself tells us much about his sense of humor．
You can comb through thousands of photographs of politicians，soldiers，and the like from Lincoln's time and not find a single smile．
True, the long exposures（曝光）required for photographs of that time made smiling difficult．Yet Lincoln alone，as far as I can tell，overcame that difficulty.
Interestingly, while having a sense of humor，or at least the appearance of one provided by comedy writers has become a necessary characteristic for an American President in our time，in the nineteenth century，too much humor was considered problem. And that was the case for Lincoln．A journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates commented that“I could not take a real personal liking to the man，owing to an inborn weakness. . .that he was extremely, fond of jokes，anecdotes，and stories．”
小题1:We can infer from Paragraph 2 that＿＿

A．the American President could influence the use of English

B．the term "sense of humor”wasn't invented until the 1860s

C．what is funny to someone might be offensive to someone else

D．the concept of humor remains the same despite the passing of time

小题2:The underlined words“this one”in Paragraph 4 refer to＿＿．

A．Lincoln's unattractive face

B．Lincoln's sense of humor

C．the debate they were having

D．cruelty that went with funniness

小题3:We rarely see people from Lincoln's time wear smile in their photos because＿．

A．being humorous was considered inappropriate

B．they found it quite funny to smile before camera

C．not smiling for photographs was the fashion

D．photography technology then was not advanced

小题4:What might the writer think of the journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates？

A．His comment accurately reflected his time

B．He created a false picture of Lincoln

C．He was prejudiced and self-centered

D．He was brave to point out Lincoln's weakness

One day, when I went shopping with Julie, we came across something special. Waiting in a long checkout line, I thought about going to another, which had the shortest queue. There was only one guy in it, but he was in a wheelchair. Well, we stepped in behind him. At first, he seemed to be having difficulty getting his groceries onto the checking desk. But after a while, I realized that what he was actually doing was separating them into two piles.
However, doing that job was no easy task in itself. I offered to help, but he and the checkout lady had it under control. He asked my wife if she would mind putting his empty basket away. What must it be like, I wondered, to be so dependent on other people like that? The checkout operator came around and gave him his change and the items he needed to have to hand. She hung one bag of groceries over a handle at the back of his chair. I offered to get the other, bigger, bag and he said, “No. But you could do me a favour. Take that lot along to the entrance and give it to Angela.”
As I was told, I did that, leaving Julie with our shopping. Angela, as turned out, was collecting food for people who might otherwise go hungry! I hadn't even noticed her before. This guy, despite the limitations that his physical condition imposed on him, had bought more than twice as much shopping as he needed – and given the bigger bag away to help other people! He didn't let the fact that he needed help stop him from being a help. He may have been limited physically, but his heart was more than capable of overcoming all that. And it changed my idea of dependence when I realized that the help he had given was more than the help he had received.
So … what’s holding the rest of us back?
小题1: From the first paragraph, we know that______.

A．the writer was obviously a disabled person

B．the man in a wheelchair was a shopper

C．the writer and Julie jumped the queue

D．only three people were shopping then

小题2: The man put the things he bought into two piles, probably because______.

A．his shopping bags were too small to hold all the groceries

B．he hoped to keep the balance of his wheelchair

C．he intended to help the people in need

D．it would be easy for him to carry

小题3: From the passage, we can learn that Angela was probably______.

A．the disabled person’s wife

B．the girl at the checking desk

C．a hungry and homeless beggar

D．a kind-hearted and helpful woman

小题4: Which of the following can best describe the man in the wheelchair?

A．kind, energetic and determined

B．positive, dependent and easy-going

C．active, optimistic and open-minded

D．helpful, generous and strong-hearted

In the era of high-tech today, face-to-face conversation is dying.
The New York Times published an article recently that shows great   36  for the “death of conversation”. It   37  that while technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting makes us feel more   38  than ever, they’re also driving us away from people around us.
Users get final connectivity   39  the price of   40  face-to-face conversation. Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are   41  to a different way of being “alone together”.
Actually,   42  text messages or writing micro-blogs allows us to   43  thoughts. But bits and pieces of online cannot   44  a “real conversation.” Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people’s tone of voice and see their faces in a conversation. “The give and take of   45  in a conversation sharpens our minds.” she said. She also mentions that   46  ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and   47  people.
Turkle mentioned the popular   48  of “I share, therefore I am.” among this generation. Liu Xuan, a young writer from Taiwan and psychology graduate from Harvard University, thinks it’s an attitude   49  by most young people. They are   50  busy creating or polishing their online persona (网络人格) that they forget how to live a   51  life.
However, experts remind us that it’s   52  to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert at China Youth & Children Research Center, points out that   53  is still owners of tools who’re avoiding personal contact. We take advantage of these devices to hide ourselves from others. Texting messages or calling may be a(n)   54  to avoid contact with others, such as having eye contact. “Only by strengthening conversation can we understand each other.   55  throwing away the mobile phones is not a solution.” she said.

My favorite English teacher could draw humor out of the driest material. It wasn't forced on us either. He took Samuel Johnson's dictionary, Addison's essays, and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them hilarious, even at eight o'clock in the morning. The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, I couldn't believe that I hadn't seen the humor. The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with allusions (典故) and irony (反讽) and hilarious moments. I learned more from him than from any other teacher.
My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be funny. Many others did not. He assigned journals over a six week period, to be written every day. At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other's journals. Mine was passed to Joe, that class clown, who always behaved in a funny or silly way. He saw it fit to make joke of and said, " This writing isn't fit to line (衬垫) the bottom of a birdcage. " Our teacher laughed at that funny remark. It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since.
So what makes the difference? Humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. It can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing, or it can tear them apart. It is true that humor is either productive or counter-productive and self-defeating.
小题1:The passage mainly discusses ________.

A．teaching	B．literature
C．humor	D．knowledge

小题2:The underlined word "hilarious" in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

A．funny	B．tiring
C．inspiring	D．brilliant

小题3:The English teacher the writer disliked most ________.

A．was not able to make students laugh

B．hurt his students' feelings

C．didn't let his students do the grading

D．had no sense of humor

TaIL Spin
Two dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park. The smaller dolphin Grace, shown 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 peduncles from side to side.
The movement put harmful pressure on Grace’s backbone. So a company offered to create a man-made 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 in 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 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 focus 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 man-made tail gives people so much courage.
