    Mrs Young was eighty. Her husband died when she was fifty – three and he left her an old car he had had for six years. She learned to drive and loved very much. She liked driving very fast, and was proud of the fact that she had never been caught for a driving offence(违章).

    Then one day she nearly lost her record(纪录). A police car followed her, and the policeman in it saw her pass a red light without stopping and she was taken before a judge. The man looked at her and said that she was too old to drive a car, and the reason why she had not stopped at the red light was most probably that her eyes had become weak with old age, so that she had simply not seen it.

    When the judge had finished what he was saying, Mrs Young opened her handbag she was carrying and took out her sewing. Without saying a word, she chose a needle(针) with a very small eye(针眼), and threaded it at her first try.

    When she had finished it, she took the thread out of the needle again and handed both the needle and the thread to the judge, saying, “Now it’s your turn. I suppose you drive a car, and that your eyesight is good.”

    The judge took the needle and tried to thread it. After trying six times, he had still not done it. At last he had to set the old woman free and her record remained unbroken.

    1.Mrs Young’s car was years old.

    A. 16 B. 33 C. 40 D. 53

    2.As , she was taken before the judge.

    A. Mrs Young’s car was too old

    B. Mrs Young hadn’t made way for the police car

    C. Mrs Young was rude to the policemen

    D. Mrs Young hadn’t stopped at the red light

    3.Mrs Young threaded before the judge in order to .

    A. prove that her eyesight was still good

    C. do some sewing

    D. wait for the man’s judgement

    On a stormy day last August, Tim heard some shouting．Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.

    Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search a football．Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water．The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore．But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.

    Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.

    “Everything went quiet in my head,” Tim recalls（回忆）．“I’m trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”

    Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water．Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress．“At one point, I considered turning back,” he says．“I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella! Let’s aim for the pier（码头）,” Jack said．Tim turned the boat toward it．Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink．“Can you guys swim?” he cried．“A little bit,” the boys said.

    Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier．Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs．Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’ faces.

    “Are we almost there?” they asked again and again．“Yes,” Tim told them each time.

    After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.

    1.Why was the boat far into open water?

    A．The boys rowed too fast．

    B．The big current carried it.

    C．The wind blew it．

    C．The boys tried to get attention..

    2.Why did the two boys go to the sea?

    A．To go boat rowing

    B．To get back their football.

    C．To swim in the open water

    D．To test the umbrella as a sail.

    3.What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

    A．The beach

    B．The water

    C．The boat

    D．The wind

    4.Why did Tim raise his head regularly?

    A．To take in enough fresh air

    B．To consider turning back or not.

    C．To check his distance from the boys．

    D．To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.

    5.How can the two boys finally reach the pier?

    A．They were dragged to the pier by Tim.

    B．They swam to the pier all by themselves.

    C．They were washed to the pier by the waves.

    D．They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back.

    科目：高中英语 来源：2016届宁夏长庆高级中学高三上学期第三次月考英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解

    With around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pyjamas(睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.

    All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting(警报)systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the“night owl”schedule of sleep.

    This is opposed to the“early bird”schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as“night owls”and only 10 percent can be classified as“early birds”—the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.

    1. What does the author stress in Paragraph 1?

    A. Many students are absent from class.

    B. Students are very tired on Monday mornings.

    C. Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.

    D. Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.

    2.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?

    A. Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.

    B. Students don’t sleep well because of alerting systems.

    C. One’s body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently.

    D. Adolescents’delayed sleep/wake cycle isn’t the preferred pattern.

    3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “classified”?

    A. Criticised. B. Grouped. C. Organised. D. Named.

    4.What does the text mainly talk about?

    A. Functions of the body clock.

    B. The “night owl” phenomenon.

    C. Human beings’ sleep behaviour.

    D. The school schedule of “early birds”.

    根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项。

    This Way to Dreamland

    Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers are usually unknown of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy(笨拙的)._ 1.__ They trouble us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.

    But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. __2.__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?

    So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or looking like a fool?

    First, understand that some opportunities for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slide into daydreams.__ 3. And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably(最好) something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.

    __4.__ “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. It involves(需要) slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.

    Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.____ 5.___ Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.

    A. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.

    B. Having interesting things to think about also helps.

    C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have Coke relatively.

    D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.

    E. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.

    F. It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate.

    G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydream zone.
