In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！
I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.

3.What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?
A. She was busy yet happy with her family life.
B. She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.
C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.
D. She was too confused to make a correct choice.
4.What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Little by little, one goes far.
C. Every coin has two sides.
D. Well begun, half done.
5.Which of the following can best describe the author?

NEWS BRIEF
● "New labels to show calories
The US government ruled that all food establishments(场所) should put the calorie information of their foods on their menus. Within a year chain restaurants, like fast food KFC, will have to say clearly on their menus how many calories their fried chicken wings, fries, and other items contain. Amusement parks, movie theaters and supermarkets will also have to follow the rules. The move is designed to fight against the problem of obesity(肥胖) in the US.
● Antibiotics leading to world problem
The entire world is facing this problem; antibiotic resistance. And the resistance will lead to the deaths of 10 million people across the world by 2025, predicted a new report released by the UK government. Antibiotics are used to destroy or slow the growth of harmful bacteria in our bodies. But overuse and misuse of them can encourage bacteria to develop new ways of overcoming antibiotics, which makes it increasingly difficult for humans to fight diseases.

Australia is the world's most expensive destination for international students, according to a study done by Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC). They have to spend an average of $ 42,000 ( about 258 ,000 yuan) a year to study at Australian universities.

A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.
A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.
Men often discover their affinity(亲密) to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, ‘Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this:” Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.
A good book is often the best urn(瓮)of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.
Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time have been to sift(筛) out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.
Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were, in a measure, actors with them in the scenes which they describe.
The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed(加以防腐处理) in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens.
1.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “immortality”?
A.difficult to find B.last for a long time
C.very important D.hard to destroy
2.How do we get close to the greatest minds through reading?
A.by talking to them about what we thought
B.by experiencing what they have gone through in life
C.by sharing their feeling and reading their minds
D.by acting with them on the stage
3.What is the best title of this text?
A.Companionship of books
B.Life without books
C.Unforgettable books
D.Sorting out books
4.This passage is mainly developed by __________.
A.analyzing causes
B.making comparisons
C.examining differences
D.following the order of importance

Patience is of great important in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possibly waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now whenever I am close to lose my patience, I’ll think of this experience

科目：高中英语 来源：2015-2016学年甘肃天水市高一上学期期末英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解
When I was a boy, I used to love walking in the woods around my home．My mom warned me several times never to travel so far that I would lose sight of the house．Being a typical boy, however, I soon found myself hiking further and further away, testing just how far I could go into the woods without getting lost．After losing my way once for two hours, though, I decided that I had better leave a trail the next time I went for a walk．
The very next day I decided to try it．I walked into the woods until the house was out of sight．Then I broke a small branch on a young tree to mark my place．I wandered further in and broke another limb and then another．In a few spots where there were no limbs small enough, I snapped the heads off the low plants that were growing where the sunlight broke through the trees．After a while I finally got tired and decided to head back．Turning around I easily found my tracks, but instead of being proud I felt sad．I could see the trail of destruction I had left in the woods going on and on．Looking at the broken limbs and dead flowers I wondered if God was disappointed in me and I vowed never to do that again．Instead, I started to cherish my times alone in the woods with nature．I’d sit by the streams and listen to them sing．I’d watch the birds and squirrels．I’d bend down to smell the flowers．And I even buried an acorn or two hoping that one day an Oak might grow．
There is an old Native American Saying that goes “We will be known forever by the tracks we leave．” As I have grown older and wiser, I have done my best to never leave a trail of destruction in my life as I did in the woods that day．I have instead tried to leave tracks of love, kindness, goodness, and compassion and I have strived to show others that they can do the same．May you always leave tracks of joy as you follow your own trail of love．
1.When the boy headed back from the woods, he felt sad because ______
A．he lost his way in the woods
B．he could find his tracks so easily
C．he left many trails of destruction
D．God was very disappointed in him
2.The boy took off some branches to ______．
A．protect himself
B．make his way out
C．see the sun clearly
D．leave some marks
3.The author wrote the passage to ______．
A．call on us to leave tracks of virtues in life
B．inform us that we shouldn’t destroy trees
C．tell us how to avoid getting lost in the woods
D．show us ways to get back home in the forest
