湖南师范大学附属中学2020-2021学年高一上学期第一次大练习（月考）英语试卷（可编辑PDF有答案）

One day when I was 5, my mother scolded(责骂) me for not finishing eating my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my rice. When angrily opening the screen door with my foot, I kicked back about a 12- inch part of the lower left-hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no remorse, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys. Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have scolded my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have given a spanking(打屁股) for it. They never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a breach(裂缝) in the defense against unwanted insects. For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would continually make me think about my mistake. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing( 嗡嗡) in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or strict words perhaps could not give. Their silent punishment for what I had done sent a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not get angry so easily. 24. What does the underlined word“remorse" in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Regret. B. Hurt. C. Feeling. D. Impression. 25. What did the author s parents do when he damaged the door? A. Giving him a sound spanking. B. Leaving the door unrepaired. 书书书 !"#$%& !"!" ! !"!# '()*+,+'-,+.$/0123456 $! !!!! !"#$%& !"!" ! !"!# '()*+,+'-,+.$/0 !"#$%& !" # ! % & ' ( ) * + #" ## #! #% #& #' #( #$ " # $ # $ $ " " $ # # " " $ " # !" #) #* #+ !" !# !! !% !& !' !( !) !* !+ %" %# %! #$ " $ # $ $ " # " $
