18、an was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank. He got into a lifeboat, but his supplies were few. His chances of surviving were small. _41_ when three fishermen found him 76days later, he was alivemuch _42_ than he was when he started, but alive. His account of
19、 how he survived is fascinating. His clevernesshow he _43_ to catch fish, how he evaporated(使蒸发) sea water to _44_ fresh water is very interesting. But the thing that _45_ my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no _46_ in continuing the struggle.
20、He was starved and _47 exhausted. Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice.

Something the survi

26、. 阅读理解(满分30分,每小题 2 分)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。AThe evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endl
27、ess family quarrels. An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. We were surprised by just how positive todays young people seem to be about their families, said one member of the research team. Theyre
28、expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. Theres more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in th
29、e family decision-making process. They dont want to rock the boat. So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me, says 17-years-old Daniel Laz
30、all. I always tell them when Im going out clubbing. As long as they know what Im doing, theyre fine with it. Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as Id done all my homework, I could go out on a
31、 Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that. Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, Our surprise that teenagers say they get
32、 along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation t
33、hroughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.56. According to the author, teenage rebellion _. A. resulted from changes in families B. may be a false belief C. is common nowadays D. existed only in the 1960s 57. What is the passage mainly abo
34、ut? A. Education in family B. Negotiation in family C. Teenage trouble in family D. Harmony in family 58. The study shows that teenagers dont want to _. A. go boating with their family B. share family responsibility C. make family decisions D. cause trouble in their families59. What is the popular i
35、mages of teenagers today?A. They dislike living with their parents.B. They quarrel a lot with other family members.C. They worry about school.D. They have to be locked in to avoid troubles.60. Compared with parents of 30 years ago, todays parents _. A. care less about their childrens life B. give th
36、eir children more freedom C. go to clubs more often with their children D. are much stricter with their children BCold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. For centuries, the bodys blood has been li
37、nked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. Cold-blooded people act in merciless ways. They may do brutal things to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded kill
38、er. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill for no reason, and with no emotion, as if taking someones life meant nothing.Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet, if your feet are really cold. But there is an expressio
39、nto get cold feetthat has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be
40、your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being the president when you understand the situation. Cold can also affect your shoulder. You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant and cold way. The expression probably comes from the
41、physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you, or to someone who has lied about you to others. A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriend
42、ly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise, and that he was left out in the cold. An
43、d it is not a pleasant place to be. 61. The passage is intended to tell us that _ . A. many English expressions contain the word “cold”B cold weather has a great effect on human bodiesC. cold is a word closely linked with human emotionsD. the word “cold” has many different meanings in English62. The
44、 underlined word “brutal” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “_”. A. impolite B. illegal C. extreme D cruel 63. Which of the following expressions can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer anything to others? A. Cold-blooded. B. To get cold feet. . C. A cold fish. D. A cold shoulder64. Yo
45、u can say Tom _ if the teacher gives all the boys except him a pen as a prize. A. is left out in the cold B. is given the cold shoulder C. has got cold feet D. is murdered by a cold-blooded killer65. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that _ . A. all the expressions containing the word “cold”
46、 have something to do with coldB. all the expressions containing the word “cold” have a negative meaningC. people who show no human emotions or feelings have cold bloodD. many parts of the human body can be badly affected by coldCSAN FRANCISCOA phone app(应用程序)in San Francisco gives information about

73、d like to discuss thrift with you. In recent years, the monthly expenditure of middle school students has been on the sharp rise. Many of them spend money like water and have no concept of thrift in their minds. This phenomenon is caused by the following factors. First of all, nowadays most of stude
74、nts are the only children of their families. Naturally, they get more care and pocket money. Secondly, with the improvement of living standard, parents can afford higher expenditure of their children. Thirdly, some students like to pursue fashion and trends, which tends to need more money. From my point of view, middle school students should learn to be thrifty. We should limit our expenditure in our daily life. The habit of thrift can help us form right values and is favourable to our future development. How about your point about thrift? Best wishes! Yours faithfully Li Hua - 10 - 版权所有高考资源网
