    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    One day a man found a cocoon(茧) of a butterfly in the forest. He sat there for several hours and watched the butterfly. Suddenly a small opening appeared, and the butterfly made its great effort to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.

    So the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly could come out easily. But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon.

    The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would become larger and be able to fly. But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling (爬) around with a heavy body and small wings. It was never able to fly.

    The man was in his kindness, but he did not understand the nature rules. Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid(流体) from its body must be forced into its wings, and then it would be ready for flying. It must have a hard struggle (拼搏) to get through the small opening to get its freedom from the cocoon.

    Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We would not be as strong as we could have been; we could never fly.

    D. It was crawling around quietly on the ground.

    (  )47. The man cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon

    C. to kill the butterfly              D. to stop the butterfly growing bigger 

    (  )48 What do you think of the man?

    A. Patient but cruel.            B. Careful and wise.

    I grew up in the 1950s with very practical parents. My mother washed aluminum foil（铝箔纸）after she cooked in it, and then she reused it. She was the earliest recycle（回收）queen before people had a name for it．
    My father was no different. He preferred getting old shoes fixed to -buying new ones. Their  marriage was good and their dreams were focused（集中）．Their best friends lived just a wave away. Though my parents have passed away, I can see them now - Dad in trousers, a T-shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress, lawnmower（割草机）in one hand and dishtowel in the other.
    It was the time to fix things -a curtain rod(挂帘杆),the kitchen radio, the screen door, the oven door, and so on. They fixed all things we had. It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing and renewing made me want to scream.1 wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant being rich. Throwing things away meant you knew there'd always be more. I often thought like that.
    But then my mother died, and on that clear summer night, in the warmth of the hospital room, I learned that sometimes there isn't any more. Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away and it will never return. So, while we have it, it is the best that we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and cure it when it's sick.
    This is true for marriage, old cars, children with bad report cards, dogs with bad hips and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it and because we are worth it.
    小题1:We can learn that when the writer was young, she_______.
    A．thought highly of her parents' habits
    B．often helped her parents fix old things
    C．often threw things away without being noticed
    D．at times hated it when her parents fixed old things
    小题2:What did the writer realize afier her mother's death?
    A．Her mother truly loved her.
    B．She had wasted a lot of money.
    C．Things may never return once they are gone.
    D．She had hurt her parents for many times.
    小题3:What is the writer's purpose in writing the passage?
    A．To advise us to love what we have.
    B．To encourage us to recycle old things.
    C．To explain why her parents recycled.
    D．To help us know about life in the past.

    I’m lying on my back in my grandfather’s orchard (果园), looking up at the branches above me. It is one of the last days of summer. Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler. Some kinds of apples are already ripe(成熟的). Others will be ready to pick soon. I think of my grandmother’s apple pie, and how I used to make it with her. She died last year, before the apple harvest, and I have not had her pie since then. I really miss her. I hear bees busily humming about, visiting the late summer flowers. The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep.
    The sky is as blue as my grandfather’s eyes. Above me, big white clouds ran across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind. School starts in another week, and time seems to have slowed down.
    “Sophie!” calls my grandfather. “Is that you?” I stand up, take his hand, and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard. We talk about apples, and bees and Grandma. He tells me that he misses her too.
    He puts his rough, brown farmer’s hand around my shoulder and pulls me close. “ You know, Sophie,” he says, “ I spent the morning in the attic (阁楼), and you’ll never guess what I found. It’s the recipe(烹饪法) for Grandma’s apple pie. I used to help her make it sometimes. I can’t do it all alone, but you used to help her too. Maybe between the two of us, we can work it out. Want to try?”
    “ But it won’t be the same without Grandma,” I tell him.
    “That’s true,” he says, “but nothing is the same without Grandma. Still, I don’t think that she would want us never to have another apple pie. What do you say?” I nod yes, and we walk towards home…toward an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen, making Grandma’s famous apple pie.
    小题1:We learn from the passage that Sophie        .
    A．likes to watch clouds in the attic
    B．comes to the orchard after school
    C．enjoys Grandma’s apple pie very much
    D．picks many apples in the orchard
    小题2:Both Sophie and her grandfather used to ______.
    A．help Grandma make apple pies
    B．spend summer afternoons in the orchard
    C．enjoy fresh fruit in the farmhouse kitchen
    D．walk alone among the apple trees
    小题3:The underlined part in the last paragraph shows       .
    A．how much Sophie’s grandmother loved Sophie
    B．how much Sophie’s grandfather likes apple pies
    C．how much Sophie loves her grandfather’s orchard
    D．how much Sophie’s grandfather misses Grandma
    小题4:Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

    One day a strong cowboy was traveling on his horse when he saw a bar.

He looked around and noticed some people making faces to him. He guessed that they might play some tricks (把戏) on him, but he said nothing and continued to drink. After drinking, he walked out of the bar and found his horse lost.
    However, he kept calm, came back into the bar, and said slowly, " I don't know what you fools did to my horse out there… but I'm leaving in five minutes, and by then if my horse isn't back where it's supposed to be, well … I have to do here what I did in Texas!" The cowboy added, "And I don't want to do what I did in Texas!" After hearing these words, the other customers seemed a little bit frightened.
