19、)阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my
20、 sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. Im so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms
21、 of a bay that only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背)in the distance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldnt believe itthere arent any whale along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the
22、 bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whale actually as big as our boat was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡)and waves. “Shes trying to help her baby, but on t
23、he wrong side,” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They strugg
24、led in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe and to give us a trusting lo
25、ok with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a
26、half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea. 41.The author says “Im so glad I did.”(in Para.2)because_.A. he witnessed the whole process of fishing B. he enjoyed the beauty of the calm seaC. he experienced the
27、 rescue of the whales D. he spent the weekend with his family42.The harbour survived the storm owing to _.A. the shape of the harborB. the arms of one bayC. the still water in the channelD. the long coast line43.The mother whale failed to help her baby because _.A. she had stayed in the polluted wat
28、er for too longB. the whirlpools she had made were not big enoughC. she had no other whales around to turn for helpD. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction44. What is the theme of the story?A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.B. Fishing provides excitement for children.C. I
29、ts necessary to live in harmony with animals.D. Its vital to protect the environment.B We all have fears. Some of them are reasonable enough, such as the fear of losing ones job or having a disease during an outbreak. Other fears, however, are not reasonable, such as the fear of spiders, snakes, or
30、enclosed spaces. Doctors call this latter fear claustrophobia(幽闭恐怖). Phobia, from the Greek word for “fear”, is the term health experts use to describe these unreasonable mental states of anxiety. People who have claustrophobia feel anxious or nervous, when they are in elevators, cars, or even large
31、 rooms. Their response, in severe cases, is to panic. They may end up shaking, sweating, hyperventilating(呼吸急促),or even fainting. To those without this phobia, it seems unreasonable to have these kinds of reactions to enclosed spaces, but to the claustrophobic person, it is their natural reaction to
32、 a situation they consider threatening. Unfortunately, having an anxiety or panic attack confirms that persons fear, and they begin to avoid the objects or situations which bring on their discomfort. The good news is that all kinds of phobias can be treated. Since the fear is not sensible, those suf
33、fering phobias can be helped to overcome them. The hardest step on the road to recovery is the first. The realization that a phobia is unreasonable leads to further anxiety. Support and encouragement from family, friends, and colleagues to seek advice is of great help. Techniques for treatment inclu
34、de flooding, which exposes the person to the source of their anxiety in a controlled situation, and counter-conditioning, using self-relaxation methods to get through anxiety attacks. In the most severe cases, these techniques may be accomplished by medicines. People being treated can get over their
35、 fear in as little as eight to ten weeks. There is no good reason to live in constant fear. If you have a phobia, seek medical advice and treatment. If you know someone with a phobia, be supportive. Fear is sometimes a necessary part of the human experience, but unreasonable fear is not. 45. Accordi
36、ng to the passage, what is phobia? A. A fear of the Greek language. B. A fear of health professionals. C. An outbreak of disease. D. Unreasonable anxiety.46. A person with claustrophobia feels anxiety _ . A. at the seashore B. at the foot of a mountain C. in cars D. at a crowded meeting 47. Which of
37、 these physical symptoms would most probably be experienced during a claustrophobia attack? A. Slow heart rate. B. Inability to keep still. C. Loss of hearing. D. A sharp pain in the legs. 48. What advice is given to those who know someone with phobia? A. They should expose the person to the source
38、of anxiety.B. They should encourage the person to seek help. C. They should share the persons fear. D. They should avoid that person. CWhat Is a Boy?Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a “boy”. Boys come in different sizes, weights, a
39、nd colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night.Boys are found everywhere on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jump
40、ing to. Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.When you are busy, a boy is
41、 a trouble maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.A boy is a mixture he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion (消化力) of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bo

43、ts natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. Nobody else
44、 gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple, a three-feet rope, six cents and some unknown things.A boy is a magical creature he is your headache but when you come home at night with only shattered pieces of your hopes and
45、dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “Hi, Dad!”49. The whole passage is in a tone(调子) of_.

85、k, one of my classmates recommended a quote to us which goes like this: “Honesty is the best policy.” I couldnt agree more with this view. Honesty can always make a person popular and happy. But if you tell a lie and people find out, your are likely to end up with many negative consequences. You can
86、t be trusted again and you will fell sorry all the time.Take myself for example. I brought in a “cheat sheet” during the last exam and luckily I didnt get caught. This , however, didnt mean I had gotten away with that. I felt that everybody gave me a disgusted look when the result was announced. How ashamed I was and finally I confessed to the teacher. Now I know that being dishonest simply makes life more difficult and that honesty is always the best way to go about a situation.
