浙江省宁波市2019年普通高中保送生英语考试试卷

阅读理解

    I first heard my mother crying one midnight, in 1909, when I was only seven. My dad's voice was low and troubled as he tried to comfort Mother. And in their anguish, they both forgot the nearness of my bedroom. And so, I overheard them. While their problem of that time has long since been solved and forgotten, the big discovery I made that night is still right with me: life is not all hearts and flowers; indeed it's hard and cruel for most of us much of the time. We all have troubles. They just differ in nature. That's all. And that leads me to my first belief

    I believe the human race is very, very tough almost impossible to discourage. If it wasn't, then why do we have such words as "laugh" and "sing" and "music" and "dance" in the language of all mankind since the beginning of recorded time? This belief makes me round to be a human be in.

    Next, I believe in trying to be charitable, in trying to understand and forgive people, especially in trying to forgive very keen or brilliant people. A man may be a genius, you know, but he can still do things that practically break your heart.

    I believe most of our very finest thoughts and many of our finest deeds must be kept to ourselves alone at least until after we die. This used to confuse me. But now I realize that by their very nature, these finest things we do and then cannot talk about are a sort of a better life to come.

    I believe there is no escape from the rule of life that we must do many, many little things to accomplish even just one big thing. This gives me patience when I need it most.

    Finally, and most important to me, I do believe in having the courage to BE YOURSELF or perhaps I should say, to be honest with myself. Sometimes this is practically impossible. I'm sure I should always try.

(1)、Why does the writer mention his parents quarrel at the beginning of the passage?
A、To explain his belief B、To introduce the topic. C、To show his big discovery. D、To show the relationship between his parents.
(2)、What does the underlined phrase "hearts and flowers" refer to according to the context?
A、life going without difficulties B、difficulties and troubles in life C、life with hard and cruel things D、ups and downs in life
(3)、According to Paragraph 2, why does the writer say that "This belief makes me proud to be a human being"?
A、Because human race creates such words as "laugh", "sing", "music" and "dance" B、Because human race is so tough that it is difficult to discourage. C、Because human race creates the language since the beginning of the recorded time. D、Because human race creates the language of all mankind
(4)、What can you learn from Paragraph 3?
A、Every man has his faults. B、God helps those who help themselves. C、Manners make the man. D、You cannot judge a book by its cover
(5)、Which one of the following beliefs is NOT mentioned by the writer?
A、Being patient is necessary to accomplish tasks sometimes. B、For some thoughts and deeds good in nature, we must keep as secrets. C、Try to forgive people unless he breaks your heart. D、Never give up the idea of being yourself

Harbin is the capital (首都) city of Heilongjiang. Many people like Harbin because of its winter tourism (旅游). Last winter, people talked a lot about Harbin on the Internet.

To make visitors feel welcome, Harbin did a lot of things. At the airport (机场), there were shows to watch. And visitors could get warm clothes to wear in dressing rooms. Local (当地的) people also helped a lot. When they were not busy, they went out to give free rides to visitors. When some tourists couldn't find hotels, the local government (政府) let visitors stay in their service center at a low price.

Many of the tourists were from southern China. It doesn't snow very often there. They dressed themselves like potatoes and many of them are shorter than the people in Heilongjiang. So the local people called them "southern little potatoes". The nickname (绰号) quickly became popular on the Internet. The tourists liked the nickname and shared their warm experiences of Harbin. A girl left a note at the hotel, saying, "This southern little potato is leaving. Harbin is so beautiful. The people are so friendly. I can't wait to come back again. Yours, southern little potato." After people saw this note online, "the southern little potato is leaving" became a hot topic, and more and more people shared their trips.

Come to Harbin and experience the wonder of ice and snow this winter!
