新课标高三上学期9册Unit3测试 Class: Name: Marks: 满分（120） (共两节，40分) 第一节 (共15小题；2分，30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 A On my first job as a sports editor, I didn’t get a lot of fan mails, so I was surprised to see a letter on my desk one morning. When I opened it, I read: “Sweet piece of writing on the Tigers. Keep up the good work.” It was signed (署名) by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Because I was a green hand, his words could not have been more encouraging. I kept the letter in my desk drawer for a long time. Whenever I doubted I had the talent to be an editor, I would reread Don’s note and be confident again. Later, when I got to know him, I learned that Don had a habit of writing encouraging notes to people in all walks of life. “When I make others feel good about themselves,” he told me, “I feel good, too.” Why are encouraging note writers in such short supply? My guess is that many who shy away from the practice are too self-conscious. They are afraid they will be misunderstood. Also, writing takes time and it is far easier to pick up the phone. The disadvantage with phone calls, of course, is that they do not last. It is a matter of record, and our words in a note can be read more than once and treasured. So, who around you deserves a note of thanks or approval? A neighbor, your librarian, a relative, your mate, a teacher, or a doctor? Words such as “greatest”, “smartest”, “prettiest” make us all feel good. Even if your praise runs a little ahead of reality, remember that expectations are often the parents of dreams realized. 1. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To express thanks to the sports editor. B. To tell us the power of encouraging notes. C. To explain how to write encouraging notes. D. To ask readers to give encouragement to others. 2. Why did the sports editor write the author a letter? A. To comfort him. B. To give him a new task. C. To promote his business. D. To encourage him
