Do you dream of the day when you can drive a car? In the United States, teenagers can get their driver’s license when they are only 16 years old, but it feels like forever until that day comes. Trust me, because I’ve been there.

1. But in my opinion, it’s worth it because it means having a lot of freedom. 2. and everything there is really spread out. So until I turned 16, my parents had to drive me pretty much everywhere.

There were several steps before I got that special plastic card. In Iowa, everyone can get their learner’s permit at the age of 14, which means you can only drive if your parent is sitting in the seat next to you.

3. In the state of Iowa, if you live more than a mile (1.6km) away from school you can get a school permit. You can only drive to school and back home. Luckily, I lived just over a mile away from school, so I was able to drive my mom’s car to school. 4.

Finally, after taking (and passing) a three-month-long driver’s education course and the final test, I was able to get my driver’s license. 5. It did in fact make life quite a bit easier.

A. I could almost taste the freedom already.

B. Still, on the day of my driver’s test, I was nervous.

C. The next step was to get my school permit at the age of 15.

D. Getting a driver’s license takes a lot of time and energy.

E. I’m from the rural state of Iowa that doesn’t have a lot of public transportation.

F. To many people, getting a driver’s license is a rite of passage (儀式) that involves a lot of luck.

G. But if you were caught going outside that route you would get in big trouble.

科目：高中英語 來源：廣東省廣州市2017屆英語高考沖刺題（二） 題型：閱讀理解

I have just returned from a visit to my landlord, Mr. Heathcliff. I am delighted with the house I am renting from him, which suits me perfectly.

Mr. Heathcliff is my only neighbour, and I think his character is similar to mine. He does not like people either.

When I introduced myself, he said nothing, but frowned, and did not encourage me to enter. After a while, however, he decided to invite me in.

“Joseph!” he called. Joseph was an old servant. He looked crossly up at me as he took my horse. “God help us! A visitor!” he whispered to himself. Perhaps there were no other servants, I thought. And it seemed that Heathcliff hardly ever received guests.

His house is called Wuthering Heights. The name means “a windswept house on a hill”, and it is a very good description. The trees around the house are bent by the north wind, which blows fiercely every day of the year. Fortunately, the house is strongly built, and is not damaged even by the worst winter storms.

Mr. Heathcliff and I entered the huge main room. We sat down by the fire, in silence.

“Joseph!” shouted Mr. Heathcliff. No answer came from the cellar, so he dived down there, leaving me alone with several rather fierce-looking dogs. Suddenly one of them jumped angrily up at me, and in a moment all the others were attacking me.

“Help! Mr. Heathcliff! Help!” I shouted. My landlord was nowhere to be seen, but luckily a woman, who might be the housekeeper, rushed into the room to calm the dogs.

“What is the matter?” Mr. Heathcliff asked me rudely, as he finally entered the room, accompanied by his man-servant.

“Your dogs, sir!” I replied. “You shouldn’t leave a stranger with them. They’re dangerous.”

“Come, come, Mr. Lockwood. Have some wine. We don’t often have strangers here. I’m afraid neither I nor my dogs are used to receiving them.” I could not feel offended after this, and accepted the wine. We sat drinking and talking together for a while. I suggested visiting him tomorrow. He did not seem eager to see me again, but I shall go anyway. He seems a fascinating man.

1.In which order should the following events be arranged?

a. Mr. Lockwood introduced himself to his landlord.

b. Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Heathcliff sat drinking and talking together.

c. Mr. Heathcliff invited Mr. Lockwood into the house.

d. Mr. Lockwood was attacked by some dogs.

e. Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Heathcliff sat down by the fire, in silence.

f. Mr. Heathcliff appeared in the main room with Joseph.

A. a, c, f, b, d, e. B. c, a, b, e, d, f.

C. a, c, e, d, f, b. D. c, a, f, e, d, b.

2.Why did Joseph say “God help us! A visitor!” when he met Mr. Lockwood?

A. He was very shocked to have a visitor.

B. He thought Mr. Lockwood was a new servant.

C. He had waited for Mr. Lockwood for a long time.

D. He was happy his prayer for guests was answered.

3.Why is the house called “Wuthering Heights”?

A. It is struck by strong winds all the year round.

B. It is protected well by the trees surrounding it.

C. The trees around it are bent by the north wind.

D. It is specially designed to resist strong winds.

4.What was the writer’s impression of Mr. Heathcliff?

A. He was rich but foolish. B. He was rude but interesting.

C. He was handsome but boring. D. He was strange but friendly.
