A sick little girl is being kept alive thanks to her best friend — a dog who carries her oxygen tank on his back. Alida’s faithful dog companion Mr Gibbs has been specially trained to shepherd the three-year-old, who breathes through a tube most of the time. He follows her closely as she plays in her family’s ten-acre land in Louisville, uses the slide or even rides her bike.
Alida was diagnosed with neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy（NEHI）when she was just eight months old. Her rare condition has just eight hundred documented sufferers throughout the world, and causes diseased pieces of the lungs to filter oxygen through extra layers of cells, making it hard or almost impossible to breathe. For Alida and her parents, it meant that even a walk in the park was very difficult because oxygen equipment was too heavy for the youngster to be able to carry herself. As parents, they wanted to do something to help their daughter survive despite having a tube following her all the time. The couple found out about “service dogs” from a TV program and realized an animal trained to help the blind could be trained to help Alida. They finally found help in the shape of golden doodle—a retriever crossed with a poodle-dog Mr Gibbs. Now thanks to trainer Ashleigh Kinsley—Alida and Mr Gibbs love nothing more than playing and running around together with the dog acting as Alida’s life saver.
1.What is Mr Gibbs?
A. A pet dog.
B. A policeman.
C. A doctor.
D. A firefighter.
2.When did the doctor know Alida caught the disease?
A. At her birth.
B. At the age of eight.
C. Before she was one year old.
D. When she was three years old.
3.The underlined part “the couple” in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
A. Alida’s classmates
B. Alida’s parents
C. Alida’s doctors
D. Alida’s pets
4.How did Alida keep alive?
A. By training her dog.
B. By staying with her parents.
C. By playing with her fellows.
D. By breathing through a tube.

Dear Mandy，
Pm not doing well in my lessons at school，especial in maths. My dad says I must try hard because he wants me go to university. He thinks I'm lazy，but it's not true.

In April 2014，the world's oldest known message in a bottle was discovered floating in the Baltic Sea. It had spent 101 years lost in the ocean！The message was finally sent to the author's granddaughter.
A German fisherman named Konrad Fischer found the brown bottle near Kiel，Germany. He said he nearly threw the bottle back into the water after pulling it out of a fishing net. Then he noticed something inside.
The bottle in good condition contained a Danish postcard with two German stamps，dated May 17，1913. Although dampness had made most of the writing illegible（字迹模糊的），the readable part of the message asked whoever found it to return it to an address in Berlin. It even contained two stamps to pay for postage.
From the address，researchers found that the postcard was written by a man named Richard
Platz，who was 20 years old when he wrote the message. While he was hiking on the Baltic coast with a nature appreciation group，he threw the bottle into the sea. Then the researchers began a search for any living relatives of his. Sure enough，they were able to find his 62-year-old granddaughter，Angela Erdmann，who still lives in Berlin.
“It was almost unbelievable，”Erdmann said upon being presented with her grandfather's bottle and message.“That was a pretty moving moment. Tears rolled down my face." Erdmann never knew her grandfather，who died in 1946，but says that the discovery of the bottle has made her want to learn more about him.
The bottle remained on display at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg until May 1 ．After that，the researchers examined the postcard and tried to figure out the meaning of the rest of the message.
Previously，the oldest message found in a bottle spent nearly 98 years at sea and was
discovered in April 2012，according to Guinness World Records.
1.When Konrad Fischer picked up the bottle from the sea， ．
A. he thought it would bring him good luck
B. he noticed the postcard inside immediately
C. he decided to uncover the secret of the bottle
D. he wanted to throw it back into the sea at first

A. He expected his granddaughter could find the postcard.
B. He wished the finder would send the postcard to his home.
C. He believed his postcard would be kept secret at sea forever.
D. He thought he could make friends with the finder of the bottle.
3.What can be the best title for this passage？

科目：高中英语 来源：2016届浙江绍兴第一中学高三下学期开学回头考英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解
I call my story the story of a bad boy, partly to distinguish myself from those faultless young gentlemen, and partly because I really was not an angel. I may truthfully say I was a friendly, impulsive(易冲动的)teenager. I didn’t want to be an angel. In short, I was a real human boy, such as you may meet anywhere in New England.
Whenever a new scholar came to our school, I used to ask him “My name’s Tom Bailey; what’s your name?” If the name struck me favorably, I shook hands with the new pupil cordially, but if it didn’t, I would turn and walk away, for I was particular on this point.
I was born in Rivermouth almost fifty years ago, but, before I became very well acquainted with that pretty New England town, my parents moved to New Orleans. I was only eighteen months old at the time of the move, and it didn’t make much difference to me where I was, because several years later, when my father proposed to take me North to be educated, I had my own view on the subject. I instantly kicked over the little boy, Sam, who happened to be standing by me at the moment, and declared that I would not be taken away to live among a lot of Yankees! You see I was what is called “a Northern man with Southern principles,” I had no recollection of New England: my earliest memories were connected with the South. I knew I was born in the North, but hoped nobody would find it out. I never told my schoolmates I was a Yankee, because they talked about Yankees in a scornful way which made me feel that it was quite a shame not to be born in the South.
And this impression was strengthened by Aunt Chloe, who said, “There wasn’t no gentlemen in the North no way.”
With this picture of Northern civilization in my eye, the readers will easily understand my terror at the bare thought of being transported to Rivermouth to school, and possibly will forgive me for kicking over little Sam, when my father announced this to me. As for kicking little Sam, I always did that, more or less gently, when anything went wrong with me.
My father was greatly troubled by this violent behavior. As little Sam picked himself up, my father took my hand in his and led me thoughtfully to the library. He appeared strangely puzzled on learning the nature of my objections to going North.
“Who on earth, Tom, has filled your brain with those silly stories?” asked my father calmly.
“Aunt Chloe, sir, she told me.”
My father devoted that evening and several evenings to giving me a clear account of New England: its early struggles, its progress, and its present condition. I was no longer unwilling to go North; on the contrary, the proposed journey to a new world full of wonders kept me awake nights. Long before the moving day arrived I was eager to be off. My impatience was increased by the fact that my father had purchased for me a fine little Mustang pony, and shipped it to Rivermouth two weeks before the date set for our own journey. The pony completely resigned me to the situation. The pony’s name was Gitana, which is the Spanish for “gypsy”, so I always called her Gypsy.
Finally the time came to leave the vine-covered mansion among the orange-trees, to say goodbye to little Sam(I am convinced he was heartily glad to get rid of me), and to part with Aunt Chloe. I imagine them standing by the open garden gate; the tears are rolling down Aunt Chloe’s cheeks; they and the old home fade away. I am never to see them again!
1.The second paragraph is intended to _______.
A. support Tom’s opinion that he is a “faultless young gentlemen”
B. show just how much confidence Tom possesses
C. contradict other people’s belief that Tom is not a well-behaved, friendly boy
D. provide an example that Tom is friendly and not an angel
2.The underlined word “cordially” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”.
A. sincerely B. unbelievably
C. officially D. closely
3.Tom Bailey’s feeling on moving to Rivermouth can best be described as _______.
A. cold, as he was too young to know any better
B. unwilling until his father corrected his misunderstandings about life in the North
C. angry because he would be forced to leave his pony, Gypsy, behind
D. excited until he realized that he would have to part with Aunt Chloe and little Sam
4.From what Aunt Chloe said, we can know_________.
A. She didn’t want Bailey to leave her.
B. She had prejudice towards Yankees.
C. She had a sad memory of living in the North.
D. Tom Bailey was brought up and loved by Aunt Chloe.
5.It can be inferred from “a Northern man with Southern principles” that ______.
A. Tom is a Yankee, unwilling to adapt to a Southern lifestyle
B. even though Tom now lives in the South, he is proud of his Northern heritage
C. Tom has successfully subscribed to some Northern values and some Southern values
D. although Tom was born in New England he liked the way of life and culture in the South
6.At the end of the story, Tom Bailey went to North______.
A. sadly B. reluctantly
C. impatiently D. willingly
