“It's really cool to have a dad who flies fighter jets,”thought 11-year-old Casey as she was watching him fly overhead.
Living on an Air Force base was not as bad as some people might think. Casey rather enjoyed being around friends who had something in common with each other. They had their own school, bowling area, and movie theatre. She especially loved it when her dad would come home each day and greet her with a new joke and tickles.
Today was different, though. When her dad walked into the room, he looked sad for some reason. He just kissed her on the forehead and told her mum that he needed to talk to her. Casey knew something was wrong.
When her mum and dad came out of the other room, mum was crying. Dad sat down and began to explain that he has been called to go to Iraq to help with the war effort. Casey was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a moment. She began to feel tears in her eyes. How could she live without her dad for a whole year?
Soon, the day came. Her dad was leaving. As Casey and her mom watched him climb up the steps to his cockpit, the tears began to flow and it felt like they would never end. It was hard for Casey to believe that she wouldn't be seeing her dad for so long. They depended on him for so many things. Who would fix the broken window? Who would greet her with jokes and tickles at the end of the day? And then the thought hit her, “ What if he doesn’t make it home?” Casey began to sob more than ever.

科目：高中英語 來源：2013-2014學年福建省莆田一中漳州一中高三上學期期末聯(lián)考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Scotland is a unique place, loaded with history, where you can find aristocratic（貴族的）palaces and castles, as well as the traditional parades in national costumes.

In order to see and discover the true soul of Scotland today and what formed the character of this splendid region, we have to go towards the northern regions, to the Grampian Mountains（格蘭扁山區(qū)）, beautiful and plain. The Scots conquered the environment with simple spades and strong arms, for it was difficult to farm.

The history of this ancient struggle, and its people’s ancient love with the hard land, can be felt within the walls of the Angus Folk Museum. You are able to get a feel of the typical rural atmosphere of times past from the everyday artifacts displayed here.

From coastal Aberdeen in towards the Grampian Mountains there runs the Castle Trail, a road that touches on many fortresses（堡壘）, which are witnesses of continual fights against the control of neighboring England in Scottish history.?

Perhaps the most exciting moment for Scottish autonomy is the one experienced inside this ancient church of Arbroath, where, in 1320, the Declaration of Independence was celebrated, at the instigation（鼓動）of King Robert the Bruce. He carried out the plan for autonomy drawn up by the great popular hero William Wallace, for whom cinema has designed the wonderful film Brave Heart, the winner of the five Oscars.?

This is Glamis Castle, where King Macbeth and Queen Elizabeth used to live. Among the most frequent guests here are the predictable ghosts, if not actually created, by ancient popular beliefs. These have been handed down over the centuries by people tending to live with mystery, with the forces of the supernatural.

Another attraction here is a legendary monster: the Loch Ness Monster. Whether it’s real or imaginary, this monster, which has been nicknamed Nessie, has collected a good 3,000 sightings over the last 50 years.

The true flag of Scotland, tartan, is recognizable from the brightly colored plaid patterns which are used to distinguish the various social groups.?

Bagpipes and dancing open the competitions of local sporting events, which are called Highland Gatherings.

1.Take a look at the Angus Folk Museum, and we can learn about _______.??????? .

A. the love of ancient Scottish to the hard land

B. the rural atmosphere in Grampian Mountains

C. ancient Scottish people’s fighting against the enemy

D. the history of the Scottish famous palaces and castles

2.What were the fortresses built for?

A. Fighting against the invaders of England.

B. Developing business with neighbor areas.

C. Preventing the people from moving around.

D. Providing a shelter from tough weather for travelers.

3.In the fifth paragraph, the underlined “the one” refers to the moment of _______.

A. the film Brave Heart winning the five Oscars

B. the plan for Scottish autonomy being carried out????????????

C. the instigation of King Robert the Bruce

D. the celebration of the Declaration of Independence

4. According to the passage, which one is TRUE?

A. The film Brave Heart is mainly about King Robert Bruce.

B. The Scottish film industry is one of the attractions of the land.

C. Highland gatherings are often marked with bagpipes and dancing

D. The supernatural forces in Glamis Castle may change a person’s belief.

5.The purpose of the writer is to _______.

A. advise readers to pay a visit to Scotland

B. teach students about the customs of Scotland???????

C. introduce cultural background about Scotland??

D. analyze the geographic formation of Scotland
