内蒙古兴和县第一中学2016-2017学年高一上学期寒假作业（二）英语试题 Word版含答案

I ran into a local store today to pick up a few things. With an important meeting to attend, I was in a hurry , so I didn’t take a cart (手推车) on my way inside. As I walked between the shelves in the store, I passed by a young couple and their baby. I continued going through the store, picked up a few items I needed and ended up standing behind this couple in the checkout line.

While waiting, I noticed that the young father was holding his money tightly and nervously. The young mother was carrying a baby in her arms and asked the cashier (收银员) for a job application.

When the total was rung up, they had to pick items out of their cart because they didn’t have enough money. But all their items were basic necessities(必需品) that they needed most. It just broke my heart to watch the couple try to think about what they could do without. However, they were able to whittle down their items and paid the bill with the money that they had.

After they left, I quietly asked the cashier to add those items to mine. The cashier rang everything up, and then got me a shopping cart. We put in their items and I hurried over to their car. “This is for you,” I told them.

The young father just looked at me with such appreciation and thanked me. I will never forget the expression in his eyes. As I was getting into my car, they drove over. The young mother said, “Miss, thank you so much.”

Tears welled up in my eyes---as they are again now, while I write this. “You are so welcome. Pay it forward some day,” I replied.

A. add to          B. break down         C. cut down         D. pay for

22. The author felt __________ to watch the couple taking some items out.

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity.Others say that competition is bad；that it sets one person against another；that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self worth relied (依赖)on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them，playing well and winning are often life and death affairs. In their single minded pursuit(追求)of success, the development, of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However，while some seem to be lost in die desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude.In a culture which values only die winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying，they always have an excuse：“I may have lost，but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.”What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

28. What does this passage mainly talk about?

A. Opinions about competition are different among people.

B. Competition helps to set up self-respect.

C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.

D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.

29. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?

A. It builds up a sense of duty.         B. It pushes society forward.

C. It improves personal abilities.       D. It encourages individual efforts.

30. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?

A. One’s success in competition needs great efforts.

B. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.

C. One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.

D. One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.

31. Which point of view may the author agree to?

   A. Every effort should be paid back.

   B. Competition should be paid back.

   C. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

   D. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.

“How many answered four?” Still no hands.

“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.
