That year , in the local school, there was a new math teacher, as well as some new pupils. One of the new kids was the stupidest child anyone had ever seen. It made no difference how quickly or how slowly they tried explaining numbers to him; he would always end up saying something enormously stupid. Like two plus two was five, seven times three was twenty-seven, or a triangle had thirty corners……

Before this boy arrived, math lessons had been the most boring of all. Now they were great fun. Encouraged by the new teacher, the children would listen to the pieces of nonsense spouted by the new kid, and they would have to correct his mistakes.

Whenever the new teacher asked questions, the stupid kid would stand up but made the wrong answers, the other students all wanted to be the first to find his mistakes, and then think up the most original ways to explain them. To do this they used all kinds of stuff : sweets, playing cards, oranges, paper planes, etc. It didn’t seem like any of this bothered the new kid.

However, Little Lewis was sure that it was bound to make him feel sad inside. Lewis was sure he would see him crying. So, one day, he decided to follow the new kid home after school. On leaving school, the new kid walked a few minutes to a local park, and there he waited for a while, until someone came along to meet him……

It was the new teacher!

The teacher gave the new kid a hug, and off they went, hand in hand. Following from a distance, Lewis could hear they were talking about math.

1.The math lessons became interesting again because of the new teacher’s ___________.

A. creativity    B. imagination    C. responsibility     D. curiosity

2.The passage implies that the stupidest child____________________________.

A. was in great need of math teacher’s help after class

B. knew much more about math than other classmates

C. had no much gift for math and was slow to learn it

D. disliked both the new math teacher and his lessons

3.According to the passage, Lewis followed the stupidest in order to ______________.

A. learn about where he lived           B. find out if he felt upset

C. say something to comfort him         D. make friends with him

4. What does the underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refer to ?

   A. To find the stupidest kid’s mistakes.

   B. To think up the most original ways to explain.

   C. To use all kinds of stuff.

   D. To follow him home after school.

                                                                                              Dec. 24, 1848

Dear Johnston,

Your request for eighty dollars, I do not think it best to satisfy now. At the various times when I have helped you a little, you have said to me, “We can get along very well again,” but in a very short time I find you in the same difficulty again. Now this can only happen by some fault in your behavior. What that fault is, I think I know. You are not lazy, and still you are an idler(游手好閑). I doubt whether since I saw you, you have done a good whole day’s work, in any other day. You do not very much dislike to work, and still you do not work much, merely because it does not seem to you that you could get much for it.

This habit of uselessly wasting time is the whole difficulty; it is vastly important to you, and still more so to your children, that you should break this habit. It is more important to them, because they have longer to live, and can keep out of an idle habit before they are in it, easier than they can get out after they are in.

You are now in need of some ready money; and what I suggest is, that you shall go to work hard, for somebody who will give you money for it.

Let father and your boys take charge of your things at home-prepare for a crop, and make the crop, and you go to work for the best money wages, or to pay back any debt you owe. And to secure you a fair reward for your labor, I now promise you that for every dollar you will, between this and the first of May, get for your own labor, I will then give you one other dollar. By this, if you hire yourself at ten dollars a month, from me you will get ten more, making twenty dollars a month for your work.

Now if you will do this, you will soon be out of debt, and what is better, you will have a habit that will keep you from getting in debt again. But if I should now clear you out, next year you will be just as deep in as ever. You say you would almost give your place in Heaven for $ 70 or $80. Then you value your place in Heaven cheaply, for I am sure you can with the offer I make you get the seventy or eighty dollars for four or five months’ work. You say if I furnish you the money you will deed(抵押) me the land, and if you don’t pay the money back, you will deliver possession-Nonsense! If you can’t now live with the land, how will you then live without it? You have always been kind to me, and I do not now mean to be unkind to you. On the contrary, if you will but follow my advice, you will find it worth more than eight time eighty dollars to you.

Affectionately

Your brother

A. Lincoln

1.Abraham Lincoln wrote the letter to Johnston mainly to ________.

A.keep himself from getting into trouble

C.manage well the things at home

4.If Johnston got one dollar for his work, Lincoln promised to _________.

A.reward him with labor

B.pay off his debt

C.hire him at 10 dollars a month

D.give him another dollar

5.In order to get 80 dollars from Lincoln, Johnston promised to ________.

A.take away his place in Heaven

B.deed Lincoln the land

C.live without the land

科目:高中英語 來源:2010-2011學(xué)年廣東省高三開學(xué)初模擬考試英語試題(十一) 題型:閱讀理解

Ⅱ   閱讀(共兩節(jié),滿分50分)

第一節(jié):閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do,and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made; washing can go to the laundry; food can be bought; cooked,canned or preserved; bread is baked and delivered by the baker; milk arrives on the doorstep; meats can be had at the restaurant,the work’s canteen,and the school dining-room.

It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home,and his children rarely,if ever,see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation,and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money,and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work,but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child’s home life,the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages father is seldom the dominant figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages accrue,but children lose something of great value if mother’s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.

26. The writer mentions home as workshop because______.

A. fathers often pursue employment at home

B. parents had to make food and necessity themselves for their daily-life

C. many families produce goods at home for sale

D. both fathers and mothers and mothers in most families are workers

27. The writer says that home has become much less of a workshop. He means______.

A. in the past, home was more like a workshop

B. home is much more of a workshop now

C. home-workshops are becoming fewer and fewer

D. home was less like a workshop in the past

28. The word“accrue”in the sentence“When mother...accrue,”is closest in meaning to

__________________.

A. change                            B. dwindle                    C. double                     D. increase

29. The chief reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation is ___________________.

A. that children nowadays rarely see their fathers at their place of work

B. that fathers do not like to pursue employment at home any more

C. that there is a wide choice of employment for children

D. that children also like to have jobs outside

30. What makes father no longer the only dominant person in a family?

A. With their earning,mother and children do not need to depend on father for their life.

B. There are many choice of employment for mothers and children.

C. Father does much less for his children today than he used to.

D. The number of married women in employment has increased greatly now.

Some scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.

The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.

Decibels (分貝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.

Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales.

A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected.

Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.

Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.

1. According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?

A.The man-made noises.

B.The noises made by themselves.

C.The sound of earthquakes.

D.The sound of the ice-breaking.

2. Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph?

A.Different places with different types of noises.

B.The very human ears sensitive to all types of noises.

C.The same noise measured differently on land and in the ocean.

D.The ocean animals' reaction to noises.

3.As to the influence of noises on whales, which of the following statements is true?

A.They are deaf to noises.

B.Noises at a certain level may hurt them.

C.They are easily confused by noises.

D.Noises will limit their ability to reproduce.

4.According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?

A.They will try their best to decrease noise.

B.They will work hard to cut down noise pollution.

C.They will study the effect of different noises.

D.They will protect animals from harmful noises.
