【题目】 Long ago, when animals could talk, the camel had antlers and a long, thick, beautiful tail. So the camel was very proud of himself and he always showed off his beautiful and magnificent antlers to the others.
One day, the camel went to drink at the nearby river. A deer came then out of the woods, bowed to him, and said rather sadly:“I was invited to a party tonight, but how can I go there with such a bare forehead? Even if it is just for one hour, I wish to go with such beautiful antlers as yours. Dear friend, could you lend me your antlers for tonight? I’ll return them tomorrow, when you come here to drink.”
The camel, though he was a little vain, had a good heart and took pity on the poor deer’s bald head. So he took his antlers off and gave them to the deer, saying, “Well, tomorrow when I come to drink, you must return them to me.”
The deer quickly took the antlers and disappeared into the woods. On his way, he met a horse and told him how he had got his antlers.
The horse, who had also been invited to the party, thought he would like to find a nice body decoration, too. He then went to the camel and asked him to give him his tail. The kind-hearted camel trusted the horse and gave him his tail.
The next day, the camel went to the meeting point as agreed. While waiting, he was drinking water and stretching his neck to see if the deer and the horse would come. But none of them showed up. Many days and years have passed since then, and the poor camel has still not got back his antlers or his tail.
Because he drank too much water while awaiting the deer and the horse, the camel has got a hump full of water; and because he stretched his neck gazing long and hard for the deer and the horse, his neck has grown long.
The horse kept his tail but, whenever he sees the camel in the distance, he runs away.
As to the deer, he also kept his antlers, but he has to change them every year because the luck of having antlers did not belong to him but to the camel, and he only got them by betraying the camel.
【1】What does “antlers” mean in the passage?
A.鬃毛B.蹄C.角D.驼峰
【2】How did the camel get his hump in the story?
A.The camel exchanged his antlers with the hump of the horse.
B.He drank too much water while waiting.
C.After fighting with the deer and the horse, he got injured.
D.He got it as a present from the deer and the horse.
【3】All the following words can describe the camel EXCEPT_____________ .

【4】The RIGHT order of the following sentences might be_____________ .
①Once, the camel had a beautiful tail and antlers.
②The horse was invited to a party and borrowed the tail from the camel.
③The camel lent antlers to the deer.
④The camel went to the meeting point. Neither the deer nor the horse showed up.
⑤The camel had a hump full of water and a long neck.
A.①④⑤③②B.①③②⑤④C.①②③④⑤D.①③②④⑤

【题目】 Sometimes, you just can’t help it. Maybe you’re watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved away. Why do people cry? What are tears(眼泪)? Scientists are working hard to find out the answers to these questions.
Ad Vingerhoets is a professor of psychology(心理学) at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. He is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying. According to Vingerhoets, there are three types of tears. Basal tears are the first type. They act as a protective object between the eye and the rest of the world. Next are reflex tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them. Finally, there are emotional tears. “They are connected with our feelings,” explains Vingerhoets. “Especially when we feel helpless.”
Scientists believe that crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other. “Humans are very complex(复杂的),” says Lauren Bylsma, a professor from the USA. “It seems that tears serve to get help and support from others.” She says another reason we cry is that humans have the longest developmental period of almost any animal. It takes a long time for humans to grow up.
Vingerhoets approves. “I think that the reason why humans cry has to do with our long childhood,” he says. “That’s the time when we are still dependent on adults for love and protection and care. Tears were a safer way to be noticed by others. In this case, it is better to use a quiet way to ask for help,” he says.
Vingerhoets and Bylsma do lots of studies to better understand why humans cry. According to Bylsma, there is still much more to discover. “It’s surprising,” she says, “how much we still don’t know.”
【1】What kind of tears will run down your face when something gets into your eyes?
A.Basal tears.B.Reflex tears.
C.Emotional tears.D.Complex tears.
【2】The underlined word “approves” in Paragraph 4 most probably means“_____________”.
A.agreesB.cheersC.repeatsD.succeeds
【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.It’s easy to understand why humans cry.
B.Basal tears are a type of protective object.
C.Emotional tears are better than reflex tears.
D.The reason why humans cry has nothing to do with childhood.
【4】We may read this passage ____________ .
A.in a mystery novelB.in a storybook
C.in a science magazineD.in a sports newspaper

【题目】 My elder cousin Ted liked complaining almost about everything. When he faced a problem, he always chose to complain about it instead of finding a way to solve it. That was not right. Ted was healthy and had received a good education. He should and could find a good job and work hard to feed himself, but he just complained all day, drifting from one job to another. One day, I read about a farmer called Chris and told Ted about him.
Chris works hard and performs many jobs around the farm. But Chris is not exactly like other farmers. What makes him different is that he was born without arms or legs. But this has not stopped him from working hard and getting things done.
Now, you may ask, is this possible? Like many other amazing people who have no arms or legs, Chris does not focus on what he can’t do, but rather on what he can do. And he can do a lot! He drives farm vehicles and looks after crops. Once you see Chris in action, you will think there is nothing he can’t do. Chris is a great example of a person who is making the most of his gifts. His positive attitude and courage make him a true inspiration.
After I told Ted about Chris, he became silent. Compared with Chris, Ted was much luckier. Then luckily, I saw Ted’s change. Do you like complaining? If you do, think about Chris. Such a man chooses to stay positive. Why don’t we?
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
