汉三宫一、高中英语阅读理解
1．阅读理解世界著名景点>孔子的学生有哪些
Two of the saddest words in the English language are "if only". I live my life with the goal of never having to say tho words, becau they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying "Take the extra minute to do it right." I always try to live by the "extra minute" rule. When my children were young and likely to cau accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an "if only" moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.
I don't only avoid tho "if only" moments when it comes to safety. It's equally important t
o avoid "if only" in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say "I love you" or "I forgive you." When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn't be here. But then I thought about the fact that he was 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn't give up an opportunity to e him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.

I know there will still be occasions when I have to say "if only" about something, but my life is definitely better becau of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I'm doing the right thing. I'm buying mylf peace of mind and that's the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.

（4）What is the best title for the passage?
魏胜

【答案】（1）C

（3）D
（4）A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，作者认为英语中最悲伤的两个词语是"if only"．因为他们表达了遗憾，父亲在我小的时候经常让我提前做一些能防止意外发生的事，因此我懂得珍惜现在所拥有的一切，而且我知道我正在做对的事。
（1）考查推理判断。根据第一、二段的内容可知，作者所说的"extra minute" rule是指在
遇事时多思考一分钟，从而可以避免以后遗憾、犯错或失望。C项“在绊倒别人之前把障碍物挪走”,属于“extra minute”规则。故选C。
（2）考查词义猜测。划线词所在句and前后连接语意相似成分，由其前"失去一个心爱的人或物"可推知此处是指“后悔放弃一个机会”，foregone意为“放弃”与abandoned同义，故选A。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“But then I thought about the fact that he's 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn't give up an opportunity to e him.”可知父亲说在周五去看眼科医生时经过作者的办公室，虽然那天是假日，但作者想到父亲84了，自己不应该放弃每一次见父亲的机会，于是又改口说那天上班。故选D。
（4）考查主旨大意。通读文章可知，本文主要叙述了作者通过"extra minute" rule来避免以后说"if only"的情况。"if only"作为线索贯穿了整篇文章，且第一段也提到了the saddest words，The Two Saddest Words适合作为标题，其他选项比较笼统，不能涵盖本文内容。故选A。元宵节是干什么的
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断和主旨大意四个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
2．阅读理解
When I was three years old, I couldn't speak. It was a strange reality that none of the doctors I visited could understand.
One day, I was shadowing(跟随)my mother. She found herlf looking in a mirror, and through it our eyes met. She began to speak to me through the reflection, and I slowly began to mimic(模仿)her mouth's movements until I formed a word.
It turned out I'm deaf in my left ear, and have a slight problem in my right. Being hard of hearing has been difficult, but I've never lived in a state of lf-hating sorrow.
Imagine being able to shut out all sound as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side. That's my reality when I sleep on my "good ear", and it makes
me feel like a superhero sometimes.
People call my deaf side my "bad ear", but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people don't. In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.
