【題目】I am a 21-year-old boy, and this is my story.

One month after I graduated from high school in 2009, I was coming home from swim practice and was involved in a car accident. I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma(昏迷) for over two months at Prince Georges Hospital.

I died eight times during my coma and I couldn’t talk or communicate when I woke up. Walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body, my dreams were almost shattered. But I was not going to let my injuries prevent me from living my dreams.

After 14 operations and blood transfusions, I had to learn how to talk, eat, walk, shower and live independently again. When I was out of hospital, I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf, Maryland. After spending a few months in a wheelchair, I took baby steps to walk on my own. It was a miracle that I could walk again, but I wanted to prove that I could not only walk, but run. When it came true, I wanted to get back in the pool again. After a few lung tests, I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few months of swim training, I began my freshman year at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and became a proud member of the swim team.

By telling my story, I want to make a positive influence on the world. I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is. I remember when I was still in my hospital bed, I would have my mom and dad push me around in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and talk to them and their families. I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow, things would work out for the best.

【1】When the car accident happened, the author ________.

A. was a high school student B. had finished his high school education

C. was a college student D. was returning home from a swim competition

【2】What does the underlined word “shattered” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Begun B. Destroyed C. Shared D. Taken

【3】It can be inferred that the author ________ after he woke up from his coma.

A. was out of hospital B. was in surprise

C. faced physical and mental challenges D. was worried about his lung

【4】What does the author mainly want to show in the last paragraph?

A. His purpose of sharing his story. B. His painful experiences.

C. His influence on students. D. His great achievements.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】B

【3】C

【4】A

【解析】本文是一篇記敘文，主要講的是作者高中畢業(yè)后，在一次游泳練習(xí)返回家的途中不幸遭遇車(chē)禍，作者受到嚴(yán)重的創(chuàng)傷并且昏迷二個(gè)多月。在他醒來(lái)之后，飽受身心上的痛苦與折磨。但是他沒(méi)有放棄希望，積極鍛煉，終于生活又重新走上正軌并取得成功。

【1】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的第一句話 “One month after I graduated from high school in 2009, I was coming home from swim practice and was involved in a car accident.”可知，在2009年高中畢業(yè)一個(gè)多月后的一次游泳練習(xí)結(jié)束后，在回家途中不幸遭遇車(chē)禍，故選B。

【2】B 猜測(cè)詞義題。從前一句話可知，作者醒后，連正常的行走都變得不可能，“Walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body, my dreams were almost shattered.”聯(lián)系上下文可知，作者此時(shí)很痛苦，像是身體和夢(mèng)想都被“毀滅，摧毀”了一樣，故選B。

【3】C 推理判斷題。從第三和第四段可知，“…I couldn’t talk or communicate when I woke up…”以及“After 14 operations and blood transfusions…”可知，作者醒后不僅要面對(duì)身體上的折磨——接收各種藥物和機(jī)械的治療，而且還要面對(duì)心理上從一個(gè)健康的正常人變?yōu)檫B行走都需要重新學(xué)習(xí)的不健全的人，這是生理和心理上的巨大挑戰(zhàn)，故選C。

【4】A推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的開(kāi)頭作者說(shuō)到，“By telling my story, I want to make a positive influence on the world.”（通過(guò)講述我的故事，我希望能對(duì)世界有正面的影響）可知，作者通過(guò)最后一段想表達(dá)他分享自己故事的目的，故選A。

【題目】We know a lot about the advantages and disadvantages of reading a hard-copy book vs reading electronically. The problem is, many of us refuse to listen.

Don’t get me wrong: Digital reading has some real advantages. Ask people what they like most about reading on digital screens, and you hear over and again about convenience. More points for digital reading: e-books tend to be cheaper. There’s also the environmental argument. Think of the trees!

Yet the soundness of this case is arguable. The earth metals to build e-readers are not just rare but highly poisonous. And think about all that energy needed to run servers and cooling fans. And remember, trees are a renewable resource.

Then, there’s the appeal of a hard copy. Many people prefer print when reading both for pleasure and for school or work. Drawing examples from my own research, some of the reasons arc aesthetic(美學(xué)的). Others involve a sense of accomplishment, ease of annotation (“I can write on the pages”), and navigation (“easy to locate where I was”). Meanwhile, I hear abundant complaints about eye strain(干澀) and headaches when using screens.

Much of what students liked about reading print involved their minds. They say “it’s easier to focus.” Some also acknowledged they took more time with printed text and read more carefully.

But what makes the failure of electronic reading is concentration. More than 92 percent of those I surveyed said they concentrate best when reading a hard copy. When a digital device has an Internet connection, it’s hard to resist the temptation(誘惑).

So if digital interruptions don’t threaten your enjoyment or understanding of a text, then medium may not matter. Casual reading like David Baldacci? If you break to check sports scores, little harm done. But just don’t expect to understand Joyce’s novels this way.

【1】What is an advantage of reading a hard-copy book?

A. It is cheaper. B. It is easier to carry around.

C. It helps people think deeper. D. It provides instant information.

【2】What's the biggest problem of reading digitally?

A. Environmental concern. B. Physical discomfort.

C. Concentration. D. Internet connection.

【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards e-reading?

A. Supportive. B. Disapproving. C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned.

【4】How is the passage mainly developed?

A. By analyzing possible reasons. B. By providing typical examples.

C. By listing practical suggestions. D. By presenting direct comparisons.

Hi Grace,
How's it going? Sorry I haven't emailed for a while, but I had so much to do!
I had told you about my decision to take up a sport. I knew I wasn't fit and I wanted to get some exercise. But that wasn't the only reason that I decided to do a sport. Students who play sports do better at school. Exercise also helps learning and memory.
First, I tried soccer. I had played a bit of soccer before and I thought it wouldn't be too bad. I knew I couldn't run for very long without feeling tired. On the first day, I was able to run for the first ten minutes, but then I was so tired that I couldn't even kick the ball!
Then, I tried volleyball. I was able to run for the first twenty minutes and I wasn't the slowest runner in the team! After a few weeks, I could run faster and longer. I was doing better and feeling better. Maybe I'm not a team sport person after all!
Finally, I tried Kung fu. It's a great sport that exercise the body and the mind. You learn to follow instructions carefully and do what you are asked to do. This is the right sport for me! I feel so confident that I even showed some moves to the class last week! Can you believe it?
I hope you're OK! Write and let me know what you’ve been doing!
Bye for now!
Kristie
A. I got very excited about soccer.
B. But I couldn't decide on a sport.
C. Running helps me to keep fit.
D. Things were a bit better this time.
E. Then I found volleyball terribly boring.
F. They are more confident and less stressed.
G. I practice twice a week and I haven't missed a class.

Developing self-confidence is one of the most important things you can do to create a more powerful, successful life. It influences all aspects of our lives, from relationships to career. But the journey is long. That's why it's so important to have a long term goal, but to break it up into small manageable parts.
Here are 5 quick tips to make this a confident week:
① Sit up!
Set your alarm to go off 3 times throughout the day to check in with your posture （姿勢(shì)）. Body language is one of the quickest ways to gain instant confidence.
②
Have lunch with someone in your office that you don't normally hang out with．Breaking your routine （常規(guī)） allows you to jump out of your comfort zone which is a great means for self confidence breakthroughs．
③Work it out.
Whether it be a fast walk for part of your lunch, or a quick work out during the tea break in the afternoon, it will surely do you good. Exercise fills the body with positive energy that you will be projecting throughout the day. Good health is not just an important part of living well —it also happens to be an instant confidence builder.
④Involve yourself in a social activity that you normally wouldn't
Putting yourself out in the world forces you to face situations and meet people. In this way you can slowly build your confidence so you can find your place in it. This is one of the most rewarding things you can do.
⑤Knowledge is power.
You have to keep feeding your mind. So whether it's a new language, a new skill, or a new hobby - sign up for something this week that will broaden your knowledge, skill level and happiness．Learning something you can be proud of and providing you happiness is an immediate confidence builder and the recipe for success.
A. Get to know someone new.
B. Whether you like it or not, the world is a social being.
C. Make a point to get some exercise during the day.
D. Have lunch in the office.
E. Once you've learned something, no one can ever take it away.
F. Small but achievable victories will have you well on your way.
G. Sitting at your office does not contribute to confidence building.

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
C
When I was 12, all I wanted was a signet (圖章) ring. They were the "in" thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being "re placed". We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the " new" stuff (東西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.
Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn't my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. "You'll recognize this one," she said, smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside. The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.
（1）The underlined word "in" in the first paragraph probably means "_____".
A.fashionable
B.available
C.practical
D.renewable
（2）When she got the ring back, the writer was about _____.
A.13 years old
B.15 years old
C.26 years old
D.28 years old
（3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The writer's family moved several times.
B.The writer never stopped looking for her ring.
C.The writer's ring was cleaned up by the new house owner.
D.The writer lost her ring in the morning when she took it off.
（4）What would be the best title for the passage?
A.My New Ring
B.Lost and Found
C.Lost and Replaced
D.An Expensive Ring
