　　When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship．Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could 　　1　　 tough subjects and really learn something．One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne．I was extremely interested in the ideas he 　　2　　 in class．

　　When I took the first exam, I was 　　3　　 to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, 　　4　　 English was my best subject．I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained 　　5　　．

　　I decided to try harder, although I didn't know what that 　　6　　 because school had always been easy for me．I read the books more carefully, but got another 77．Again, I 　　7　　 with Professor Jayne．Again, he listened patiently but wouldn't change his 　　8　　．

　　One more test before the final exam．One more 　　9　　 to improve my grade．So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time, 　　10　　 the meaning of the word "thorough"．But my 　　11　　 did no good and everything 　　12　　 as before．

　　The last hurdle was the final．No matter what 　　13　　 I got, it wouldn't cancel three C-pluses．I might as well kiss the 　　14　　 goodbye．

　　A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A．I hurried into Professor Jayne's office．He 　　17　　 to be expecting me, "If I gave you the A as you 　　18　　, you wouldn't continue to work as hard．"

　　I stared at him, 　　19　　 that his analysis and strategy were correct, I had worked my head 　　20　　 , as I had never done before．

　　I was speechless, when my course grade arrived：A-plus．It was the only A-plus given．The next year I received my scholarship．I've always remembered Professor Jayne's lesson：You alone must set your own standard of excellence．

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學年四川省綿陽市南山中學高二上學期12月月考英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously ,did not give her good service ,pretended not to understand her ,or even acted as if they did not hear her .W_w w.k*s*5 u.c@o m
My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票經(jīng)紀人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan..”
And my mother was standing beside me ,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me cheek already two week late.”
And then , in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rather concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”
Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”
The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.
When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.

科目：高中英語 來源：2011—2012學年廣東省廣州市禺山高級中學高三第二次月考英語卷 題型：閱讀理解

The drug store was closing for the night and Alfred Higgins was about to go home when his new boss approached him.
“Empty your pockets please, Alfred,” Sam Carr demanded in a firm voice.
Alfred pretended to be shocked but he knew he’d been caught. From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.
“I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man.
“Sorry, sir. Please forgive me. It’s the first time I’ve ever done such a thing,” Alfred lied, hoping to gain the old man’s sympathy.
Mr Carr’s brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Let’s see what the police have to say. But first I’ll call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.”
“Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.
Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked.
“He’s been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied.
Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carr’s arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?”
The woman’s calm and gentle manner disarmed the once-angry store-owner. “I was going to get a cop. But I don’t want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and I’ll let it go.” Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand.
Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in silence. When they arrived home his mother simply said, “Go to bed, you fool.”
In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mother’s actions. “She was smooth!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw.
His mother’s face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earlier. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. There were tears in her eyes.
This picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth ending. He saw all the troubles he brought her and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.
【小題1】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．It was the first time Alfred had stolen anything.
B．Alfred tried to sound big to hide his fear.
C．Mr. Carr set a trap to catch Alfred stealing.
D．Mr. Carr had planned to forgive Alfred from the beginning.
【小題2】What does the underlined word “disarmed” probably mean?
A．a(chǎn)nnoyedB．made less angry
C．convincedD．got over
【小題3】What was the mother’s attitude toward Alfred?
A．She felt disappointed with him.B．She was very strict with him.
C．She was supportive of him.D．She was afraid of him.
【小題4】What impressed Alfred most about his mother at the drugstore was ________.
A．how angry she wasB．that she didn’t cry
C．that she was able to save himD．how effectively she handled Mr. Carr
【小題5】From the last paragraph, we know that Alfred ________.
A．was no longer a youthB．felt proud of his mother
C．wanted his mother to be happyD．felt guilty and regretful for his deed
