试题分析:文章讲述了一个寓言故事。一头毛驴掉到深井里,主人打算放弃它,用土把井填上。起初毛驴惊恐哀叫,但是不久,人们竟然发现毛驴把填到井里的土都踩在脚下,然后一点一点地接近了地面。故事告诉我们,当人们面对困境时,不要惊慌失措,要善于利用不利条件,将它们变成我们通向成功的基石。

1.C 考查副词辨析。A. 高兴地;B. 几乎不;C. 难过地;D. 非常,很。从情理可知毛驴掉到深井里,当然会伤心难过,所以C选项正确。句意:毛驴悲哀得嚎叫。

2.B 考查动词短语。A. 执行,开展;B. 想出;C. 遗漏;      D. 小心,留神。毛驴掉到井里了,从情理上推断主人应该去想办法如何把它弄上来,所以B选项正确。

3.C考查形容词辨析。A年轻的;B. 小的;C. 老的;D. 大的。从下文主人做出要掩埋毛驴的决定可以推断出毛驴是老了,没什么用了,所以C选项符合语境。

4.A考查动词辨析。A. 营救;B. 杀死;C. 出售; D. 购买。从常理可知毛驴掉井里了主人要做的就是把它救上来,所以选A。

5.B考查名词辨析。 A. 钱;B. 努力;C. 表扬;D. 时间。根据常识可知把掉井里的毛驴弄到地面上不是容易的事情,所以此处用effort“努力,费劲”。句意:他认为不值得花大力气把这头老驴弄上来。

6.B 考查动词短语。A. 绕道而行;B.过来;C. 降低;D. 共计。从下文主人和邻居一起填井可知,此时毛驴的主人请邻居们过来,故正确答案是B。

7.C 考查名词辨析。A.石头;B.泥土;C. 灰尘;D. 土壤。从下文28空后面的each shovel load of dirt 可知C选项正确。

8.A考查动词辨析。A.意识到;B. 发现;C. 听说;        D. 看到。从情理推测毛驴看到人们用土埋井,应该是明白了主人的意图打算,所以此处用realize,正确答案是A。

9.A考查副词辨析。A.再,又;B. 曾经;C. 从来不;D. 一旦,一次。从文章开头The animal cired 可知此处应该是“再次,又”,所以A选项正确。

10.B考查名词辨析。A.高兴;         B. 惊讶;C失望;D.兴奋。按照情理,毛驴在一直哀嚎,突然间不叫了,人们应该是感到纳闷,好奇,所以选B。

11.B考查副词辨析。A.离开;B. 向下;C. 向上;D. 结束。因为人们在地面上,向井里看的时候应该是低头向下看,所以选B。

12.A考查形容词辨析。A.惊讶的;B. 难过的;C. 担心的;D. 生气的。上文讲人们对毛驴突然不叫了感到好奇,而且下文29空后出现的something surprising 也提示了此处是发生了让人惊讶的事,故A选项正确。句意:农民低头向井里看,对于他所看到的情景感到万分惊讶。

13.A考查介词辨析。A.用,具有;B.当。。时;C.因为;D. 在。。。上面。从情景判断此处是毛驴如何应对落到它身上的泥土的,后句中的do和with恰好构成短语do sth with sth“处理,对付”,句意:对于落到它身上的每一铁锹泥土,毛驴做着让人惊讶的举动。故A选项正确。

14.A 考查动词辨析。A. 做;B. 有C. 制作;D. 考虑。从词义搭配上可知选A。do thing“做事”

15.D 考查动词辨析。A.开始;        B. 停止;C. 开始;D.继续。从文章内容可知此处不是开始也不是停止填井,而应该是继续这样做,故D选项正确。

16.B 考查介词短语。A. 在。。。的顶端(内部);B. 在。。。的顶部(外部);C.在。。。脚下;D. 在。。。前面。从情理推测人们埋井填土时,土是落到驴子的身上,所以选B。

17.B考查副词辨析。A.幸运地;B. 成功地;C.艰难地;D. 容易地。从上文he take a step up可知通过把土踩到脚下,毛驴成功地又回到地面上,所以B选项正确。

18.A考查名词辨析。A生活,生命;B. 世界;C. 时间;D. 工作。从情理推测此处是作者是就这个故事发表议论,来暗示人们对待生活的态度,所以A选项正确。

19.B 考查介词辨析。A离开;B. 在。。。上;C. 向上;D. 向下。从故事的叙述可知泥土是落到毛驴身上,所以同样地,生活的烦恼和困扰也像尘土一样落到你的身上,所以B为正确选项。

20.A考查副词辨析。 A.向上;B.离开;C.向里,在。。。里;D. 向外,在。。。外。Give up是固定短语“放弃”;give away“泄漏,赠送”;give in“屈服,投降”;give out“分发,用尽”从故事可知,人们要不放弃,才会获得成功,所以A选项正确。

考点:考查故事类短文。

科目:高中英语 来源:2011-2012学年河北省保定三中高二下学期期中考试英语试卷(带解析) 题型:阅读理解

I don’t want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated (controlled) by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space, time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics(天体物理学), it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens (镜片) of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations (挑衅) : I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
【小题1】Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?

A.She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination (歧视). 
B.She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.
C.She is not good at telling stories of the kind.
D.She finds space research more important.
【小题2】From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute (把…归因于) the author’s failures to ________.
A.the burden she bears in a male-dominated society
B.her involvement in gender politics
C.her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist
D.the very fact that she is a woman
【小题3】What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research?
A. Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.
B. Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.
C. People’s fixed attitude toward female scientists.
D. Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurtured.
【小题4】What does the image the author presents to her students suggest?
A.Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation.
B.Women can balance a career in science and having a family.
C.Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.
D.Women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career.

Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea.People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.

Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East Indian Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.

At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea.Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added.She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few British drink tea without milk.

At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born.

67.Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?

A. The British got expensive tea from India. 

B. Tea reached Britain from Holland.

C.The British were the first people in Europe who drank tea.

D.It was not until the 17th century that the British had tea.

68.Tea became a popular drink in Britain_____________.

A.in eighteenth century           B.in sixteenth century

C.in seventeenth century      D.in the late seventeenth century

69.People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because_____________.

A.it tasted like milk               

B.it tasted more pleasant

C.it became a popular drink

D.Madame de Sevigne was such a lady with great social influence that people tried

to copy the way she drank tea

70.We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly

due to the influence of ________.

A.a famous French lady             B.the ancient Chinese

C.the upper social class            D.people in Holland

71.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.The history of tea drinking in Britain     B.How tea became a popular drink in Britain

C.How the British got the habit of drinking tea   D.How tea-time was born

There was once a beautiful nymph called Echo. But Echo had one failing; she was fond of talking, and whether in chat or argument, would have the last word. As she was good company , she and Zeus became good friends. However,Zeus’ wife, Hera, became jealous. She followed Zeus to the earth to find out what he was doing and Zeus asked Echo to distract Hera until he could escape. Later when Hera discovered she had been tricked, she became very angry. She turned on Echo and said, “You shall lose the use of your tongue because you cheated me. You’ll have the last word, bur no longer have the power to speak first.” So from that moment on, Beautiful Echo was hardly able to hold a conversation because she could only repeat the last words of those around her. She became very embarrassed and hid herself deep in the woods.

One day a handsome young man called Narcissus came into the woods. He had been hunting deer and lost his way. However, the moment Echo saw him, she fell in love with him. She followed him, wishing to tell him but unable o begin a conversation. Oh, how she wished she could speak first. Unfortunately, Narcissus was far too busy worrying about where his companions might be and how he could find his way home.

Eventually Narcissus, with Echo following behind along, came to a pool of water in the middle of the woods. Feeling thirsty, Narcissus bent down to drink. As he did so, he saw a beautiful creature in the water staring up at him. . He immediately bent over and said to him, “I love you!” Echo, nearby, and seeing her chance, immediately responded “…. I love you!” But it was too late. Narcissus was already in love, with himself.

`      The stranger seemed to rise up closer to Narcissus who was so involved that he entirely failed to notice Echo. “I want to stay and look at this beautiful sight forever,” he whispered dreamily to himself.”… Forever,” repeated Echo sadly. “Come her,” called Narcissus to his reflection as he moved his head and the creature seemed to move away. “…Here.” responded Echo. Narcissus bent back down to see his reflection more clearly. “So beautiful! I’ve never seen anything so beautiful!” “….So beautiful!” responded Echo truthfully.

Narcissus remained by the water refusing all Echo’s silent offers of food and drink until he died. Where he had been, a flower grew in his place, as beautiful as Narcissus himself. As for Echo, from that time forward, she also didn’t eat or drink till she turned to rocks and all that was left was her voice. Even now you can still hear Echo trying to attract Narcissus’ attention by repeating his words and still see Narcissus as a beautiful flower growing near a pool.

63. Why was Echo unable to  let Narcissus know she loved him?

A. Because she had lost the ability to speak.        B. Because she was too shy to speak first.

C. Because Hera had taken away her ability to speak first.

D.  Because Narcissus took no notice of her.

64. “The stranger” in paragraph 4 refers to ______.

A. Echo         B. A fairy in the woods.        C. Hera.         D. Narcissus himself.

65. Which of the following kinds of person can be described as a “Narcissus”?

A. A person who loves and admires himself or herself.

B. A person who’s afraid of being separated from companions.

C. A person who is too shy to have a chat with other people.

D. A person who loves to admire beautiful water flowers.

66. Which of the following is the correct order of the events?

a) Hera wouldn’t let Echo start a conversation.

b) Narcissus fell in love with his reflection in the water.

c) Echo saw Narcissus and fell in love at the first sight.

d) Echo distracted Hera to help Zeus escape.

e) Narcissus became a flower and Echo a rock.

A. a-b-c-d-e           B. d-a-c-b-e           C. d-a-b-c-e           D. c-d-a-b-e

67. What’s the best title of this passage?

A. Echo’s sacrifice.                                   B. Echo and Hera.

C. Echo and Narcissus.                       D. Narcissus’s self-love.

    The Man Who Achieved Everything He Could

Once upon a time, there lived a man who wanted to achieve everything he was capable of achieving. He was obsessed with this desire --- he ate, slept, and walked with one and only dream: to die, having accomplished every single thing he was able to accomplish.

There were so many things he could do. He felt like the whole world could be his, 36   he set his mind to it.

He knew that his  37  had no limits. He knew that he could accumulate  38  that would dwarf (使相形见绌) that of ancient kings; he knew that he could  39  books that would shake the minds of generations; he knew that he could  40  things that would forever change the lives of millions of people. He lived, constantly feeling the power within --- and that power knew no bounds.

There was only one problem: having such a potential, but only one  41, he had to make a choice. He had to decide where to  42  all of his ability. Making that decision was extremely hard, for any  43  meant cutting off some future achievements. In the meantime, he went to school, graduated, found a job, married, and  44  children. And he spent every minute of his spare time trying to decide  45  he should bring his potential into full play.

Time went by, and he grew  46. Some roads he used to dream about became closed to him. But there was still so much he could accomplish.

One day, a sudden chest pain made him come home early. He dragged his feet to the bathroom. There, feeling  47, he looked in the mirror. A worn-out, gray-haired man stared back at him. He looked  48  into these eyes and, all of a sudden, 49  one simple truth. The next moment, the pain came again, and his heart stopped  50  forever.

The truth that came upon him was rather simple: People only flatter themselves (自以为是,自鸣得意) by thinking that they could have  51  this or that if not for such-and-such circumstances. Yet this is nothing but  52  . You simply lack something that is  53 for achieving that goal you’ve never reached — a talent, a skill, willpower,  54 something else. In fact,  55  you don’t achieve is something you’re not capable of achieving.

 

1. A. before            B. since                C. if               D. though

2. A. wisdom        B. potential            C. world            D. freedom

3.A. courage        B. interest             C. knowledge        D. power

4. A. write             B. read                 C. buy              D. edit

5. A. invent            B. acquire          C. adopt            D. destroy

6. A. step          B. life                 C. chance           D. condition

7.A. promote        B. accumulate       C. increase             D. apply

8. A. choice        B. mistake          C. failure          D. effort
