高二英语单项填空极难题查看答案及解析

We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.

“Look down, Elsa,” father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. “See, my dear,” father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”

Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.

When I turned to father for help, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.

At school the next day, I secretly poured my luncheon（午餐）soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered（喷溅出）“ The cook must have gone mad！” Quickly I told her what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!

In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal. Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.

1.The author’s father took her to the top of a church tower to ____________.

2.What did the author want her mother to do earlier that day?.

3.The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph suggests that__________________.

4.What did the author’s mother think of her luncheon soup after she tasted it?

5.By sharing her own experiences, the author tries to tell us ____________.

高二英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析

The Barbie doll first appeared at the toy fair in New York in 1959. Its creator was Ruth Handler, an American businesswoman. She and her husband Elliott along with Harold Matt Matson started the toy company Mattel. She based the design of the new doll on a German doll named Bild Lilli and named her after their daughter Barbara.

The first Barbie wore a black and white swimsuit and had her hair in a ponytail(马尾辫). She looked very grown-up. But any concerns that parents would not want to buy it for little girls were soon proved wrong.

Mattel sold 300,000 Barbie dolls in the first year at a price of three dollars. Today, a fifty-year-old Barbie in good condition might cost more than 27,000 dollars.

Barbie dolls have represented 50 different nationalities and are sold in 150 countries. Mattel says 90% of girls in the United States between the ages of three and ten own at least one Barbie doll. It says girls between the ages of three and six own an average of about 12.

Barbie also faced her share of critics. A well-known example was when women’s education groups objected to a talking Barbie doll that declared, among other things, “Math class is tough!” Mattel agreed to change it. Saudi Arabia has banned Barbie dolls. And a lawmaker in the American state of West Virginia would like to do the same. Last month, he proposed banning sales of Barbie and other dolls that influence girls to put too much importance on physical beauty.

Some people say Barbie is an unhealthy role model for young girls. Robin Gerber disagrees. She wrote a book about Barbie. She points out dolls like scientist Barbie and race car driver Barbie. She says people who criticize Barbie should tell girls the story of the businesswoman who created her. She says Ruth Handler wanted the dolls to help girls think about what they wanted to do with their lives.

1.The first Barbie doll might not be popular among little girls because _______.

A.her hairstyle was out of fashion

B.her appearance looked much too mature

C.her way of dressing was against the tradition

D.physical beauty wasn’t thought to be important

2.From the passage we know that Mattel ________.

A. is one of the world’s largest toy companies

B. is the director of an American toy company

C. was the woman who originally created Barbie

D. was a salesman who was good at selling Barbie dolls

3.Barbie dolls are criticized partly because they make girls ________.

A. pay too much attention to their physical beauty

B. neglect their schoolwork and inner beauty

C. prefer physical beauty to inner beauty

D. waste too much time and money on clothes

4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that in her book Robin Gerber ________.

A. shows Barbie dolls have a negative influence on girls

B. praises a successful person who sells Barbie dolls

C. expresses her own favorable opinion about Barbie

D. argues for banning the sales of Barbie dolls
