1、高三上学期第二次周考英语试题 2014.9.09阅读理解（共18小题；每小题2分，满分36分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。AOne day, when I was working as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher

2、had referred him to me. This boy has lost his family, he wrote. He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and Im very worried about him. Can you help? I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesnt have the answer to, and wh

3、ich no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically. The first two times we met, David didnt say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the childrens drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After tha

4、t he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without looking at me. Its not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice. Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before

5、 I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me? Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with, I thought. Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering. Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly. Its

6、 your turn, he said. After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life. Maybe I gave David something. But

7、 I also learned that one-without any words-can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.l.

9、ith the author C. liked the childrens drawings in the officeB It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnsons famous comment that When two English meet, their first talk is of weather. Though Johnson s observ

10、ation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak. Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He a

11、rgues that To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it. Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles. Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather

12、is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena. The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty. According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attra

13、cts the English as well as the outsider. Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs

14、, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather , they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank fillers. In other words, English

15、 weather-speak is a means of social bonding.6.The author mentions Dr. Johnsons comment to show that_ A. most commentators agree with Dr. Johnson B. Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observation C. the comment was accurate two hundred years ago D. English conversations usually start with the weat
