With each passing day everyone became more anxious, waiting for the final school bell. Upon its 1 everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David David was a small boy in ragged clothes. I had often wondered what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 2 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David 3. I can still remember he was always 4 a smile and willing to help. He always stayed after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He 5 just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly head for home Weeks passed and the 6 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of school before the holiday break. I smiled in 7 as the last of them hurried out of the door. Turning around I saw David quietly standing by my desk. “I have something for you.” he said and 8 from behind his back a small box. 9 it to me, he said anxiously, “Open it.” I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my surprise saw nothing. I looked at David‘s smiling face and back into the box and said, “The box is nice, David, but it’s 10 .” “Oh no it isn’t” said David. “It’s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there.” Tears filled my eyes 11I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given attention to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning 12 the little empty box set on my desk. 1. A. warning B. ringing C. calling D. yelling 2.

They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world. Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred nineteen spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America. Fred, a lovely young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. The school was completely differently different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities. Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car. “Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.” At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy by our level. But 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.” 1. This year________ teenagers will take part in the exchange program between America and other countries. A. twenty three hundred B. thirteen hundred C. over three thousand D. less than two thousand 2. The whole exchange program is mainly to_________. A. help teenagers in other countries know the real America B. send students in America to travel in Germany C. let students learn something about other countries D. have teenagers learn new languages 3. What is particular in America schools is that________. A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings. B. there are a lot of outside activities C. students usually take fourteen subjects in all D. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car. 参考答案 1—3、 CCB 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 【2014 模拟冲刺试题】 Several weeks ago, a mysterious Christmas card dropped through our mailbox. The envelope was addressed to a man named Raoul, who, I was relatively certain, did not live with us. The envelope wasn't sealed, so I opened it. The inside of the card was blank. Ed, my husband, explained that the card was both from and to the newspaper deliveryman. His name was apparently Raoul, and Raoul wanted a holiday tip. We were meant to put a check inside the card and then drop the envelope in the mail. When your services are finished at 4 a.m., you can't simply hang around, like a hotel bellboy expecting a tip. You have to be direct. So I wrote a nice holiday greeting to this man who, in my imagination, fires The New York Times from his bike aimed at our front door, causing more noise with mere newsprint than most 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 people manage with sophisticated(复杂的) black market fireworks. With a start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness but carefully executed spite（怨恨）: I had not tipped Raoul in Christmas past. I honestly hadn't realized I was supposed to. This was the first time he'd used the card tactic（策略）. So I got out my checkbook. Somewhere along the line, holiday tipping went from an optional thank-you for a year of services to a Mafia-style protection racket (收保护费组织). Several days later, I was bringing our garbage bins back when I noticed an envelope taped to one of the lids. The outside of the envelope said MICKEY. It had to be another tip request, this time from our garbage collector. Unlike Raoul, Mickey hadn't enclosed his own Christmas card from me. In a way, I appreciated the directness. "I know you don't care how merry my Christmas is, and that's fine," the gesture said. "I want $30, or I'll 'forget' to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day." I put a check in the envelope and taped it back to the bin. The next morning, Ed noticed that the envelope was gone, though the trash hadn't yet been picked up: "Someone stole Mickey's tip!" Ed was quite certain. He made me call the bank and cancel the check. But Ed had been wrong. Two weeks later, Mickey left a letter from the bank on our steps. The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to cash, had been cancelled. The following Tuesday morning, when Ed saw a truck outside, he ran out with his wallet. "Are you Mickey?" The man looked at him with scorn（轻蔑）. "Mickey is the garbageman. I am the recycling." Not only had Ed insulted（侮辱）this man by suggesting that he was a garbageman, but he had obviously neglected to tip him. Ed ran back inside for more funds. Then he noticed that the driver of the truck had been watching the whole incident. He peeled off another twenty and looked around, waving bills in the air. "Anyone else? " Had we consulted the website of the Emily Post Institute, this embarrassing break of etiquette (礼节) could have been avoided. Under "trash/recycling collectors" in the institute's Holiday Tipping Guidelines, it says: "$10 to $30 each." You may or may not wish to know that your hairdresser, mailman and UPS guy all expect a holiday tip. 55. The newspaper deliveryman put a blank card inside the envelope because_____________________. A. he wanted the couple to pay for the newspaper B. he forgot to write a few words on it C. he used it to ask for a Christmas tip 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 D. he was afraid of asking for a tip in person 56. From the passage, we learn that the author___________________________. A. didn't like Raoul's way of delivering the paper B. didn't realize why Raoul delivered the paper that way before C. didn't know that Raoul delivered the paper for them D. didn't feel it necessary to meet Raoul when he came 57. According to the passage, the author felt _______________ to give Raoul a holiday tip. A. excited B. happy C. embarrassed D. forced 58. Which of the following is true about Mickey, the garbage collector? A. He wrote a letter to the couple afterwards. B. He failed to collect the money from the bank. C. He wanted the couple to send him a Christmas card. D. He collected both the check and the garbage that day. 59. Ed's encounter(遭遇) with the recycling team shows that________________________________. A. Ed was desperate to correct his mistake B. Ed only wanted to give money to Raoul C. Ed was unwilling to tip the truck driver D. Ed no longer wanted to give them money 60. From the passage we can infer that __________________________________________. A. their garbage bin might not be emptied one day if the writer didn’t give tips B. the writer could have avoided giving tips if they had consulted the website of the Emily Post Institute C. the writer’s husband didn’t know Raoul at all D. the writer’s family was too poor to give the tips 55. C 根据第二段中的 I had not tipped Raoul in Christmas past 和 This was the first time he'd used the card tactic 可知 Raoul 是想要圣诞节小费。D 中的“was afraid of…”文章中未提到。 56. B 根据第二段中的 With a start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness…可知作者以前并不知道 Raoul 这样扔报纸和发出噪音的原因。 57. D 根据第二段中的 I honestly hadn't realized I was supposed to 可知作者是被迫付费的。 58. B 根据第四段中的 The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to cash, had been cancelled.可知他没拿到钱。 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 59. A 根据倒数第二段 Ed 拿着钱包去问司机可知他拼命想改正原先未付小费的错误。 60. A 根据 I'll 'forget' to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day." 可以推断出正确答案。 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 【2014 仿真模拟冲刺卷】 Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab．Here’s what happened．I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station．We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us．My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car’s back end by just inches! The driver of the other car, who almost caused a big accident, started yelling bad words at us．My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy．And I mean he was friendly．So, I said, “Why did you just do that？This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！” And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck．” Many people are like garbage （rubbish） trucks．They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment．As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it．And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you．When someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally．You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on．You’ll be happy with what you did． I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me？And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets？It was that day I said, “I’m not going to do anymore．” Successful people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day．What about you？If you let more garbage trucks pass you by, you’ll be happier．Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets．So, Love the people who treat you right．Forget about the ones who don’t． 41．What happened one day when the author was taking a taxi？ A．The taxi almost hit another car． B．The taxi driver was injured． C．The author scolded the driver of the other car． D．The author learned a lesson from the driver of the garbage truck． 42．How did the taxi driver respond to the behavior of the driver of the black car？ 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 A．He yelled back at the driver． B．He sent the driver to the hospital． C．He was friendly towards the driver． D．He dumped some garbage in front of his car． 43．What does the taxi driver think of people according to Paragraph 3？ A．Many people like to drive garbage trucks． B．Many people dump garbage wherever they like． C．Many people are warm-hearted to make others happy． D．Many people tend to be very much depressed． 44．What can we infer from Paragraph 4？ A．The author used to have a lot of garbage trucks． B．The author used to complain a lot． C．The author used to have a lot of money． D．The author used to be a good manager． 45．According to the passage, what should you do if people “dump garbage” on you？ A．Ignore them and go on with our own work． B．Try our best to persuade them not to do that again． C．Tell them to dump the garbage in the right place． D．Take over their work and carry the garbage to somewhere else． 【参考答案】41---45ACDBA 【2014 高考英语二诊考试】 请阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的 A，B，C，D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Coffee is a powerful beverage．On a personal level，it helps keep US awake and active．On a much broader level，it has helped shape our history and continues to shape our culture． Coffee didn’t take off until the l400s when people figured out they could roast its seeds．By the l500s，the drink had spread to coffeehouses across the Arab world．Within another l50 years， it took Europe by storm． “It actually had a major impact on the rise of business，” historian Mark Pendergrast says．Coffeehouses became a spot not just to enjoy a cup but to exchange ideas．The insurer Lloyd’s of London was founded hundreds of years ago in one of London’s 2,000 coffeehouses．Literature， newspapers and even the works of great composers like Bach and Beethoven were also spawned(涌 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 现)in coffeehouses． It is often said that after the Boston Tea Party of l773，when American colonists attacked British tea ships and threw boxes of tea into the harbor，Americans universally switched over to drinking coffee．In a letter John Adams wrote to his wife，Abigail，the Founding Father claims his love of tea but says he will have to learn to embrace coffee instead，because drinking tea had become a symbol of not loving the country． For all the upsides coffee has brought the modern world，it also led to its fair share of downsides，too．Europeans carried coffee with them as they colonized various parts of the world， and this frequently meant they enslaved people in order to grow it．In Brazil — where slavery was legal until l888 — coffee plantations would use slash-and-burn agriculture，tearing down rain forests and planting coffee trees．Once the soil had been exhausted，growers would move on to another place． And yet，coffee，as Pendergrast says，”had a very good impact in many ways on our civilization， even though it was，for a long time，grown by slaves．” 48．Why did people enjoy going to coffeehouses?
