A few days later, the boy saw a small 41 in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to make its body through that little hole. Suddenly it stopped. So the boy decided to help the butterfly, thinking the butterfly might be 42 . He took a knife and cut the hole 43 . The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it 44 a little different. It had a weak body and small, thin wings. The butterfly didnt start to fly. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬行) around with a weak body and thin wings. It was never able to fly. The boy acted with 45 but he didnt understand why it could be like this. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of getting out of the cocoon makes the fluid (液体) from the butterflys body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be 46 to fly. If the butterfly never has to squeeze (挤压) itself out of the cocoon, its wings will never get the fluid and it can never fly. 47 struggles are what we need in our lives. If we lived our lives without any problems, we would never learn to grow. We would not be 48 we could have been and we would never fly. In our lives, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, and sometimes even represents growth, without it, theres no way of life. We cant avoid(逃避) 49 or problems.

Why should we forgive them? Because forgiveness sets us free. Here is the story of Anne Marie Hagan from Canada. Anne was 19 years old when her father was killed by a neighbor. “I hoped that this man would never get his freedom, she said. And then, 17 years later she saw the neighbor face to face. It was during this meeting, while learning more about him as a human being and the terrible suffering that he had had, everything changed. Anna wrote that in that meeting, 16 years and 10 months of sadness went away, As he started to cry and said, Im sorry, Im sorry, I couldnt take it any more. I told him that I forgave him. Can we learn to forgive? The good news is that we learn to forgive. Its important to understand that forgiveness isnt just an act of will. Here is what Anne Marie Hagan says, My life changed as I began to see the world. The man who killed my father is now 59 years old. I often visit him. We have talked about what happened on that sad day, and how my forgiveness has changed both our lives. You can see how Anne Maries life changed in a wonderful way after she was able to forgive. Forgiveness is not permission. It doesnt mean that you agree with what the offender has done, or that they had the right to do what they did. Forgiveness is recognizing that the offender is a human being who needs kindness and love.51. How old was Anne when she met the neighbor again? A. 17 B19 C36 D. 5952. What did Anne do to the neighbor? A. She killed him. B. She forgave him. C. She gave him a job. D. She troubled him.53. The underlined word offender probably means“_” A容纳者 B冒犯者 C赞同者 D吸引者B Most rain forests lie to the equator（赤道）,where the climate is often hot and there are long hours of sunshine. The warmth of the land heats the air above, causing it to rise and tiny drops of water to fall as rain. The rainfall can reach at least 98 inches a year. This wet, hot world with plenty of sunlight is perfect for plants to grow, so the trees grow fast with green leaves all the year round. The trees themselves also have an effect on the climate. They gather water from the soil and pass it out into the air through their leaves. The wet air then forms clouds, which hang over the treetops like smoke. These clouds protect the forest from the daytime heat and night-time cold of nearby deserts, keeping temperatures suitable for plant growth. Rain forests slightly farther away from the equator remain just as warm, but they have a dry season of three months or more when little rain falls. Tree leaves fall during this dry season and new leaves grow when the wet season or monsoon(雨季)begins. Thus these areas are known as the monsoon forest. Another type of rain forest grows on tropical（热带）mountains. It is often called the cloudforest because clouds often hang over the trees like fog.The rain forest is the ideal place for the growth of many different trees. Most of them depend on animals to eat their fruits and spread their seeds. When the fruits are eaten, the seeds inside them go undamaged through animals stomachs and are passed out in their droppings (排出物) . The seeds lying on the forest floor then grow into new trees.54. The climate of the rain forests near the equator is_. A. warm, wet and windy B. cold, rainy and foggy C. hot, wet and cloudy D. warm, wet and snowy55. We can learn from the passage that_. A. tree leaves are green all the time in the monsoon forest B. there is a dry season in the cloud forest on tropical mountains C. clouds help the plants in the rain forests near the deserts to grow D. the trees have no effect on the climate in the rain forest.56. According to the passage, _ play the most important role in the spreading of seeds. A. animals B. droppings C. fruits D. winds57. This passage is most likely to be found in_. A. a travel guide B. a story book C. a comic book D. a geographical bookC A survey shows the rate of exposure (暴露) to second-hand smoke jumped from 53 percent in 2002 to about 73 percent in 2012 in China. The survey covers more than 13,000 people over the age of 15. Nearly 770 million non- smokers suffer from second-hand smoke, the survey says. According to the survey, smoking in government buildings ranks second in the type of buildings that have public smoking. Restaurants are in the first place. The statistics (统计) from the World Health Organization show second-hand smoke kills 600,000 people around the world. The number in China is about 100,000. If no improvement is made, the deaths due to second-hand smoking in China will grow t0 2 million by 2030 and it will keep increasing t0 3 million in 2050. There is no safe level of exposure to second-hand smoke. If non-smoking areas are not completely separated (隔离) from the smoking areas, the harm to our health will be the same, said Zhi Xiuyi, a professor at the Capital Medicine University. 55 percent of leaders of organizations and more than 40 percent of medical health personnel are smokers. The rate(比例) is only a little lower than the rate of machine operators and farmers.58. Which place rank first in the buildings that have public smoking?A. Government buildings. B. Schools. C. Restaurants. D. Hotels.59. How many people will die from second-hand smoking in China by 2050 if no improvement is made?A. 100,000 B. 600,000 C. 2 million. D. 3 million.60.

The passage mainly talks about_.A. a survey about smoking. B. many people die from smokingC. how to give up smoking. D. the danger of second-hand smokingD All her life, my mother wanted busy children. She thought it was very important that her house should be kept clean and tidy at all times.

When she returned, she found the packet had been gone. Confused(疑惑的), she put down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, but when she returned, she found that her drink had disappeared. she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks so that they would not make water rings on the tables. Now she knows better.These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family.
