The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday. I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for the bus, By the time I saw one e around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly 20 minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office, I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi, it was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line.

CTime spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are book-lover or only there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find a shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason is, you can soon be totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon bee attracted in some books or others, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointments.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction of a bookshop.A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such a place to your hearts content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting “Can I help you?” You neednt buy anything you dont want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the back ground until you have finished reading. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.Once a medical student had to read a text book which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldnt obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a certain bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from its usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop beckoning to him. Expecting to be told off, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was tucked away in a corner. “I put it there in case anyone was tempted to buy it!” he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading.29.According to the passage ,the main attraction of a bookshop is _ .A. the chance to get free from the realityB. learning something from the booksC. a shelter from a sudden showerD. the surrounding of books30.The writer thinks that the assistant in a bookshop should _.A. greet customers pleasantly and warmly B. not disturb the customers when they read C. help the readers to find what they want D. not stay in the background all the time 31.The purpose of writing the third paragraph is to_.A. tell us a story about a bookshopB. teach us to read in shops without buying books C. support the main idea of the passage D. teach us to help people whenever we can DWe are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changedno examination is perfectbut to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in schools or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher.Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to thema form of favoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her schools reputation, unable to pete for employment with the child from the favored school.The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some puter.32. The word “favoritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that _.A. bright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobsB. poor children with certificates are favored in job markets C. children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobs D. children attending ordinary schools achieve great success33. What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author?A. Childrens job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation B. Schools for bright children would lose their reputation.C. There would be more opportunities and excellence.D. Children from poor families would be able to change their schools.34. The opponents of the examination system will agree that _. A. puters should be selected to take over many jobs B. jobs should not be assigned by systematic selection C. special classes are necessary to keep the school standardsD. schools with academic subjects should be done away with35. The passage mainly focuses on _.A. schools and certificates高三英语试题共8页第5页高三英语试题共8页第6页B. opportunity and employment C. standards and reputation D. examination and equality第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项多余Getting Along Well With ParentsGetting along well with parents is a big problem for most teenagers.

But the teacher made us to calm down in a formal voice. He said, “All right, I will tell you something about that.” Then he took out a small mirror from one of his pockets and held them towards the window. The sun was shining brightly outside and there was a tiny but light spot on the back wall. He then moved the piece of mirror to make it reflect the sunshine to the boy and to every curious face in the whole classroom. We all suddenly felt very warmth and energetic and the whole classroom were lit up. The teacher said, “Most of us are great enough like the sun to give off brightness and warmth to the world. But we can be a ordinary mirror. That is to say, we can reflect the sunshine to the very corner where the sun never shines. And that is ex
