1. 解析：選C。根據上一句可知，其他學生在背完課文后都坐下了，而Duane仍舊站著。其中but是個重要的信息詞。
2. 解析：選B。此處作者想要說明的是Duane是個聰明可愛的學生，盡管他的單親媽媽問題很多。
3. 解析：選B。當作者看到Duane還站著，以為他昨晚可能遇到什么事情，因此過去詢問。此處只是作者的一種想法而已，故選B。
4. 解析：選C。根據下文可知，作者沒有看Duane送的禮物，所以Duane眼神中透出受到傷害的委屈。
5. 解析：選A。此處disappointedly(失望地)，對應上文中的hurt。
6. 解析：選B。由文意可知，作者沒有打開禮物，只是看禮物的外表，“好像(appeared)”是個火柴盒。
7. 解析：選D。Duane告訴作者這是個首飾盒，“而不是(rather than)”火柴盒。as well as和；more than超過；except for除了，均不符合語境。
8. 解析：選D。由文意可知，作者打開盒子，看到的是兩個啤酒瓶蓋，這讓她很吃驚。the sight of看見；一見到。
9. 解析：選C。句意為：Duane告訴我這是兩只銀耳環。
10. 解析：選D。根據下文“I avoided wearing them”可知，作者因為耳朵有點畸形，所以“從不(never) ”戴耳環。
11. 解析：選B。作者被Duane的創造性和周到的考慮“打動(touched)”了。
12. 解析：選A。由文意可知，作者從一出生，一只耳朵就有點畸形。
13. 解析：選B。作者擔心戴上耳環，會容易讓人注意到自己畸形的耳朵。draw attention to引起……的注意；do harm to對……造成危害；add weight增加重量；have an effect on sth. 對……有影響。
14. 解析：選A。但是面對學生的一片真誠，作者怎么能夠“拒絕(refuse)”呢？
15. 解析：選C。根據上文提示，從Duane的家庭背景來看，他是個“特殊的(special)”學生。generous慷慨的；honest誠實的；sad悲傷的，均不符合語境。
16. 解析：選B。作者當著全班學生的面把耳環戴上，這時全班的學生都鼓掌。
17. 解析：選B。每當作者看到那個火柴盒，就會想起Duane的友好以及他的行為給作者的啟示。remind sb. of sth.讓某人想起某事；convince sb. of sth. 讓某人相信某事；prove sth. to sb.向某人證明某事；show sb. sth.向某人展示某物。
18. 解析：選C。根據第一段的提示可知，Duane生活在單親家庭，而且母親有很多問題，所以他的生活“環境(situation)”不好。
19. 解析：選C。盡管貧窮，Duane還是樂于“給予(give)”。please取悅；take索取；accept接受，均不符合語境。
20. 解析：選D。每當作者難以觸動學生的心靈(即很難和學生溝通)的時候，作者就會像Duane那樣，讓學生感受到自己的一片真誠。have difficulty (in)doing sth.做……有困難，是固定句型。

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。(滿分２５分)
After my brother died in an accident , my mother was inconsolable(痛苦的，極其傷心的). I was only 4 years old at that time, but I still understood the seismic shift（地震的改變） in my mom’s attitude towards safety. Suddenly, everything around us was potentially dangerous.
I grew up with a lot of restrictions（限制）that were meant to protect me. I couldn’t walk home from school by myself even though everyone I knew already did. I couldn’t attend parties, or go to summer camp, because what if something happened to me. My life was divided into “things you should avoid” and “things you needed to do in order to have a good , long life”.
I became a natural worrier. I worried about things like getting cancert, losing my wallet, car accidents, and earthquakes-disasters big and small, real and imagined.
When I was 14, my mother died suddenly in a car accident. That loss, on top of my brother’s unnatural death, could have paralyzed(癱瘓) me. But at my mom’s funeral, I made a choice. I could either live out the rest of my life trying to be “safe” or I could be brave enough to live out a fulfilling, exciting and, yes, sometimes dangerous life.
I began constantly forcing myself to do the things that frighten or worry me. In fact, I’ve developed a rule for myself: If it scares（使….害怕） me, I have to do it at least once. I’ve done lots of things that my mom would have worried about: I’ve ridden a motorcycle, I’ve dived, I’ve tried rock-climbing, I’ve traveled a lot.
Courage（勇氣，勇敢） isn’t a natural attribute (性格) of human beings. I believe that we have to practice being courageous; using courage is like developing a muscle. The more often I do things that scare me, the more I realize that I can do a lot more than I originally thought I could. I’ve also come to believe that fear can be good thing if we face it.
寫作內容
1. 以約３０詞概括以上短文的主要內容；

科目：高中英語 來源：2013屆遼寧省分校高二下學期期末考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解
Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.
That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone’s life?
Today I looked up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave” and also “a person who is good and noble”.
That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. And I remembered what happened to me years ago.
After my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.
The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤兒院). Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become "heroes".
1.The main idea of the passage is _______________.
A. why the writer should be a hero
B. whether the writer is a hero
C. what a hero exactly is
D. that everyone is a hero
2.Why did the woman call the writer a hero at the end of the call?
A. Because he was cute and kind to everybody
B. Because he saved a family from a burning car.
C. Because he asked her son not to kill himself.
D. Because his story saved her son’s life.
3.What does the underlined word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The wonderful card the writer received.
B. The action of sending the card.
C. The fact that the sender helped the writer.
D. The fact that the sender was a friend of the writer.
4.According to the writer, who can be considered as a hero?
A. A person who helps someone in trouble.
B. A person who writes wonderful stories.
C. A person who can hold a door for others.
D. A person who is brave.

On Monday morning I let him out for a run when the children got ready for school. As evening came and German didn’t appear, we were all 13. . The next Friday evening, German was back on our doorstep.
