There was once an old wise man living on the top of a mountain. Whenever the villagers had a problem, they would climb up the mountain and ask the old man for advice.
One day a young man arrived. “Wise man,” he asked, “What makes a man truly great?”
The old man said, “Do you sincerely want to know?”
“Yes, yes!” the young man replied.
“Well,” the wise old man said to him, “Let me tell you in the form of a story.”
There was once a Greek man who suffered from a deadly disease. Knowing that he would die soon, he was the first to join the army when his country was in a battle with the enemy. Hoping to die in battle, he would fight in the front line, risking himself without any worry for his life. Finally they won the battle and he was still alive. His general (将军) was so impressed with his bravery which contributed much to the victory.
The general decided to promote him and award him with medals of bravery and honor. On the day of presentation (授予仪式), he was looking very down and sad. Curiously, the general asked him why he was so sad on a day he should be so proud. The soldier told him of his deadly disease. “How could I let such a brave soldier die?” the general thought. So the general hired the best physician and finally cured the soldier. But from that day on, the once valiant soldier was no longer seen at the front. He would always avoid danger and tried his best to protect his life.
“Young man,” the wise man said, “if you want to be truly great, you must not be afraid of dying, you must be daring.”

We learned that if you left a bucket of soybeans in the rain, you would soon have a bucket of growing beans.We learned that if we helped pick the strawberries in the morning, we'd have them on our ice cream in the afternoon.We learned that some plants have funny names, like the elephant ear plant.We learned that you could make do with what you had.We learned that making things out of paper and cardboard was more fun than what came inside the packaging.We learned it was OK to get dirty, but Grandma would wash us up before Mom came.
You once made models of everyone's houses, which made me want to be an architect.Another time, you made quilts for all of the grandkids.I still use mine every night.The edge has worn out.
But you taught me how to fix it.
I love and respect you.You are always patient, with a quiet determination.
Grandma, thank you for everything you have taught me.I hope that I am able to pass on all these memories and skills to my children and grandchildren.
Love always,
Kelly

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
People who averaged fewer than seven hours of sleep per night in the weeks before being exposed to the cold virus were nearly three times as likely to get sick as those who averaged eight hours or more, a new study found.
Researchers used frequent telephone interviews to track the sleep habits of more than 150 men and women aged 21 to 55 over the last few weeks.Then they exposed the subjects to the virus, quarantined(检疫隔离)them for five days and kept track of who got sick.
Besides sleeping more, sleeping better also seemed to help the body fight illness: Patients who fared better on a measure known as “sleep efficiency”—the percentage of time in bed that you’re actually sleeping—were also less likely to get sick.
The results held true even after researchers adjusted for elements such as body-mass index, age, sex, smoking and pre-existing antibodies(抗体)to the virus.
The researchers aren’t exactly sure why sleeping better makes you less likely to develop a cold.But they do try to give an answer: “Sleep disturbance influences the regulation of symptom mediators(调节因子)that are released in response to infection.” In plain English, maybe tossing and turning when you’re infected with the cold virus contributes to the symptoms that define a cold.
The researchers were based at Carnegie Mellon, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Virginia, and the study was funded by the National Institutes of Health.
1.According to the passage, what does the underlined word “subjects” mean in paragraph 2?
A.areas of knowledge in a school
B.people being studied in an experiment
C.research topics
D.animals being tested
2.It is shown in the passage that _______.
A.the researchers obtain information about the sleep habits by frequent interviews
B.the researchers do their research in the National Institutes of Health
C.people hope to avoid being infected with a cold by sleeping as much as possible
D.sleeping more and better helps regulate the symptom mediators
3.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.The Relationship Between Virus and Cold
B.How to Sleep Well
C.Good Sleep Helps Fight a Cold
D.The More the Sleep, the Better Your Body

科目:高中英语 来源:2015-2016学年四川省雅安市高一上学期第一次月考英语试卷(解析版) 题型:阅读理解
If you go into the woods with your friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you do get lost, this is what you should do.
Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends — let them find you. You can help them to find you by staying in one place.
There is another way to help your friends or other people nearby to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling(吹口哨)three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help. You will be helped by others.
Keep up the shouting or whistling, always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gunshots. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.
If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house and cover up the holes with branches with lots of leaves and grass. What should you do if you get hungry or need to drink some water? You should have to leave your little branch house to look for a brook. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.
The most important thing to do when you are lost is — stay in one place.
1. How do you let people believe that you are not just making noise for fun?
A. Stop now and then.
B. Go on shouting or whistling.
C. Shout over and over at the top of voice.
D. Shout or whistle three times once a while.
2.If nobody answers you after your signal, what should you do then?
A. Give two gunshots. B. Shout louder.
C. Stop shouting. D. Make a house.
3. If you feel thirsty when you are lost in the forest, what should you do?
A. Go and find a brook.
B. Light a fire and make yourself some tea.
C. Go to find a brook and leave marks behind you.
D. Find something to hold the water.
4.What’s the best title for the passage?
