that determines the true value What gift is worth the most This Christmas I was debating what to give my father My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked The message was from my father My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming and underneath a poem by William Blake The flower a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky inspired me My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid That may even be the reason why I love writing I decided that those words would be my gift to my father I called back I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift I sent the photo of the cream colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe my dad recited it as much as he did the other I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it The poem was focused around dreaming and after searching I found the perfect picture The image was painted with blues and greens and purples twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream As I watched both poems passing through the printer the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate Christmas soon arrived The minute I saw the look on my dad s face as he unwrapped those swirling 盘旋 black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame I knew I had given the perfect gift 31 The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was A reading a message B having a debate C doing

a kind of special fish season opened They were fishing early in the evening catching other fish with worms Then the boy tied on a small silver lure 鱼饵 and put it into the lake Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water It was the largest one

looked at the fish then at the boy You ll have to put it back son he said Dad cried the boy There will be other fish said his father Not as big as this one cried the boy He looked around the lake No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight He looked again at his father Even though no one had seen them nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish the boy could tell from his father s voice that the decision couldn t be changed He threw the huge bass into the black water The big fish disappeared The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish That was 34 years ago Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place 高二水平测试 英语试题 2014 1 时间 90 分钟 满分 100 分 And he was right He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago But he does see that same fish again and again every time he has an ethical decision to make For as his father had taught him ethics 伦理道德 are simple matters of right and wrong It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult 35 What happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass A The father lit a match in order

C Travel is exciting and summer is a busy period for holiday travel Many people will travel great distances in airplanes cars or other vehicles Experts say people should know about other health problems that can strike when traveling by air One of these is a condition called hypoxia 缺氧症 It results from a lack of oxygen to the brain Experts say the body begins losing oxygen minutes after an airplane leaves the ground The air pressure in a plane during flight is lower than at sea level This makes it more difficult for the body to effectively use the same amount of oxygen as it would on the ground Fewer oxygen molecules 分子 cross the tissues 组织 in the lungs and reach the bloodstream The result is a five to twenty percent drop in the amount of oxygen in the blood This reduces the amount of oxygen that reaches the organs of the body One effect of this lack of oxygen to the brain is a headache When this happens the heart attempts to fix the situation by beating harder and faster This can make the traveler feel tired These signs of hypoxia are not dangerous in a healthy person But a drop in oxygen level can cause a health emergency in people with heart or lung problems They might lose consciousness or even suffer a heart attack Experts say that smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic liquids also reduce the body s ability to use oxygen So they suggest that people not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes either before or during a flight They also say persons with heart or lung problems should seek advice from their doctors before flying 39 The author writes the passage mainly to A explain the causes and effects of hypoxia B offer some advice on avoiding health problems C warn people in airplanes of possible dangers D advise people not to smoke or drink alcohol 40 The underlined part fix the situation means A use more oxygen it needs B bump more blood to the brain C reduce the amount of blood D increase the air pressure 41 Why should passengers not smoke or drink before flying A Drinking alcohol may raise one s blood pressure B Smoking may pollute the air inside the airplane C They weaken the body s ability to use oxygen D Drinking is forbidden at the airport D Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways When people cheat it s not fair to other people like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game Many people like the action of cheating It makes difficult things seem easy like getting all the right answers on the test But it doesn t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won t help on the next test unless the person cheats again 考 资 源 网Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade And if they get caught cheating they will be in trouble at school and maybe at home too Some kids cheat 高二水平测试 英语试题 2014 1 时间 90 分钟 满分 100 分 because they re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying Other kids might feel like they can t pass the test without cheating Even when there seems to be a good reason for cheating cheating isn t a good idea If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn t study it would be better to talk with the teacher about this And if you don t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school 考 资 源 网A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or
