科目：高中英语 来源：2013-2014学年福建省高三上学期11月学段考试英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解

It’s common to hear the honking of horns in New York. Whoever tries every day to get more than a few minutes of sleep in the city will tell you that he could do nothing about it! Honking of horns is just one of their most widely enjoyed pastimes.

But Aaron, a Japanese website developer has had enough of it. Once, the 31-year-old man approached the open window to wait for the driver to finish honking, delivered a polite "excuse me" and then yelled " Ho-o-o-o-onk!", which suggests fierce anger in Japan. Then he threw three eggs from the window of his apartment on to a passing car honking loudly below when his patience was worn out. Instead of apologizing to him, the driver threatened to kill him angrily. So, nobly, Aaron turned to non-violence. He started writing anti-honking haiku verses, a form of Japanese poetry, and submitted them to local newspapers:

Oh .forget Enron;

The problem around here is;

All the damn honking

(Enron_: a major American company that recently caused a scandal by going bankrupt because of corrupt(腐败) mismanagement)

"Then this kind of chain reaction started happening," Aaron says. "All these other haiku started appearing that I haven't written." Aaron’ s community is now covered in anti - honking poetry, written by all walks of life, ranging from scary environmental activist types to violent revolutionaries:

Patience slowly fades;

Residents store up their eggs;

That day is coming soon.

It’s no surprise that Aaron has started a website — www. honku. org — and now people from across the country send him news of their own anti - honking activities. It seems that poetry can change the world after all. Then, just recently, anti-anti- honking haiku started to appear, taped up by locals who thought Aaron should stop worrying about honking and start worrying about starving children, say, or war in the Middle East instead. Aaron has an answer for that. "Stop me if this is too tenuous(不靠谱的) ," he says," but they talk about the violence in the Middle East like it' s a force of nature, like it' s beyond our control. But actually it's kind of like the honking - the violence is man -made. If we can figure out how to stop honking on the streets, I think we could learn some things that we could use on a large scale. "

1.The first paragraph of the passage is intended to tell us that_______.

A. New Yorkers have formed a habit of honking while driving

B. most New Yorkers enjoy sleeping late in the morning

C. honking noise has influenced people's life in New York

D. New Yorkers enjoy listening to the honking of horns

2.What is Aaron’s final response to the frequent honking of horns?

A. Pretended to ignore it.

B. Screamed at the driver.

C. Acted in a peaceful way.

D. Complained to the government.

3.According to the passage, most New Yorkers think Aaron's response is ___.

A. pointless

B. abnormal

C. sensitive

D. acceptable

4.Faced with the criticism of his anti-honking campaign, Aaron notes that___.

A. fierce violence in the Middle East is more of an issue worthy of concern

B. finding the solution to anti - honking is as meaningful as that to starvation

C. big issues are beyond our control while small ones are under our control

D. if not handled properly, honking may cause serious problems like starvation

Here are two letters in WORKWORRIES, a column（栏） in a newspaper:

Dear Ariel,

I got a job offer from a high-tech company with a fairly satisfactory paycheck and benefits．Even the work environment is cool．But I heard that the job requires a lot of overtime and even weekends．I know it's important for newcomers to work hard to get their feet planted firmly on the ground, but I'm scared of the idea of having nearly no free time．I still need to find a girlfriend．So, shall I accept the job or give it up for another one with much less pay and more freedom?

Amoretto

Dear Amoretto,

I have two things to say: First, you're lucky to have such an excellent offer, especially at a time when so many qualified（胜任的）people are struggling to find any work at all; and second, you can't figure out your work-life balance until you're actually working．

Take the job．You'll be learning, doing interesting things, working in a cool environment, and making money．If you're given a contract （合同）, make sure you understand the terms before you sign．Ask your boss how many hours a week you're expected to work．If they tell you a number that is much lower than what you find once you're working, you'll be in a better position to talk to them about it．

Give your wor k 100 percent．Work energetically and efficiently．If you're dedicated（敬业的）and focused, you might accomplish more than your co-workers in less time．Showing yourself to be a productive and talented worker for the beginning will give you more bargaining power．Finally, remember that taking a job doesn't have to be a life commitment．Try to give it at least a year （two is better）．If you're really miserable after that time, look for another job that will give you more freedom．By then, you'll have workplace experience, bosses and colleagues who can speak positively about your work and some savings．Good luck!

Ariel

I shall never forget the night，a few years ago，when Marion J.Douglas was a student in one of my adulteducation classes. He told us how tragedy had struck at his home，not once，but twice. The first time he had lost his fiveyearold daughter. He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss；but，as he said，“Ten months later，God gave us another little girl and she died in five days.”
This double bereavement was almost too much to bear. “I couldn’t take it，” this father told us，“I couldn’t sleep，eat，rest or relax. My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone. ”At last he went to doctors；one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip，but neither helped. He said，“My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice (大钳子)，and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter.” The tension of grief (悲伤)—if you have ever been paralyzed (使瘫痪) by sorrow，you know what he meant.
“But thank God，I had one child left—a fouryearold son. He gave me the solution to my problem. One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself，he asked，‘Daddy，will you build a boat for me？’ I was in no mood to build a boat；in fact，I was in no mood to do anything. But my son is a persistent little fellow！I had to give in. Building that toy boat took me about three hours. By the time it was finished，I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months！I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking. In my case，building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring. So I determined to keep busy.”
“The following night，I made a list of jobs that ought to be done. Scores of items needed to be repaired. Amazingly，I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention. During the last two years I have completed most of them. I am busy so that I have no time for worry.”
No time for worry！That is exactly what Winston Church ill said when he was working eighteen hours a day at the height of the war. When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities，he said，“I am too busy. I have no time for worry.”

     In the kitchen of my mother's houses there has always been a wooden stand (木架) with a small
notepad (记事本)and a hole for a pencil.
     I'm looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother.
Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current
paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can't be the same pencil? The pad is more
modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
     "I'm just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years." I
say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. "You still use a pencil.
Can't you afford a pen?"
      My mother replies a little sharply. "It works perfectly well. I've always kept the stand in the kitchen.
I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in those days."
     Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one
hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, "One day I was
cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the
children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the
back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on."
     This story-which happened before I was born-reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is,
as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to
wor k. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards.
Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics.
Those symbols have travelled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden
breadboard, invisible (看不到的) exhibits at every meal.

1. Why has the author's mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?

A. To leave messages.
B. To list her everyday tasks.
C. To note down maths problems.
D. To write down a flash of inspiration.

2. What is the author's original opinion about the wooden stand?

A. It has great value for the family.
B. It needs to be replaced by a better one.
C. It brings her back to her lonely childhood.
D. It should be passed on to the next generation.

3. The author feels embarrassed for             .

A. blaming her mother wrongly
B. giving her mother a lot of trouble
C. not making good use of time as her mother did
D. not making any breakthrough in her field

4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. The mother is successful in her career.
B. The family members like travelling.
C. The author had little time to play when young.
D. The marks on the breadboard have disappeared.

5. In the author's mind, her mother is             .

A. strange in behaviour
B. keen on her research
C. fond of collecting old things
D. careless about her appearance(B)
