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.（1）What was the butterfly doing at the beginning of the story?A . It was trying to make a cocoon for itself.B . It was struggling to get out of its cocoon.C . It was flying among the trees in the forest.D . It was crawling around quietly on the ground.（2）The man cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon .A . to take the butterfly homeB . to help the butterfly come out easilyC . to kill the butterflyD . to stop the butterfly growing bigger（3）What do you think of the man?A . Patient but cruel.B . Careful and wise.C . Kind but unwise.D . Brave and funny.（4）What does the last paragraph(段落) tell us?A . Sometimes struggles are necessary in our life.B . Nothing is difficult if we put our heart into it.C . Every good deed will come back with good result.D . The greatest happiness in the world is to help others.（5）What is the best title for the story?A . The Love for the CocoonB . The Joy of Helping Each OtherC . The Lesson of the CocoonD . The Expectation for the Butterfly19. （8分）阅读理解Every year, over a million tourists visit the Great Barrier Reef, off the coast of north-eastern Australia. The Great Barrier Reef is not one reef, but a long group of 2,900 reefs of living coral and 900 islands. It is over 2,600 kilometers from north to south, and its a wonderful place. But it also has a problem. The Crown of Thorns starfish live all along the Great Barrier Reef and feed on corals. Sometimes, the population of these starfish in an area can grow quickly, and they eat the coral faster than it can grow and reproduce. People fear that the Crown of Thorns could destroy large parts of the reef completely.A major outbreak of the Crown of Thorns starfish have been found eating the Great Barrier Reef, scientists said on Friday, urging the government to begin removing the harmful animals.The starfish feeds on corals by spreading its stomach over them and using digestive enzymes to make them die. The Crown of Thorns gets its name from the sharp pines, or thorns, that cover it. The starfish usually grow about 30 centimeters wide, but some are as large as 80 centimeters wide. Each starfish can eat its own size in coral a night and so over time that increases very greatly. Hugh Sweatman, a scientist told the media A lot of coral will be lost he said. That would be a great influence on the ecosystem and the moneymaking tourism industry.The Crown of Thorns were found in large number last month in the Swains Reefs, but the governments Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority already killed some starfish at the Swains Reefs in December and will start another action this month, a director at the authority. Fred Nucifora, told the ABC. We are actually difficult reach to the Swains Reef and it is quite an unfriendly environment to work in, he said.There have been four major Crown of Thorns outbreaks since the 1960 in the Great Barrier Reef but it recovered each time because there were always healthy populations of fish that fed on grass. The outbreaks are usually triggered by extra nutrient in the water but the reason for the recent breakout was unclear, Sweatman said.（1）The quick growth of the Crown of Thorns starfish is a problem because they . A . grow too bigB . eat too much coralC . feed on some plantsD . kill lots of fish（2）What may be the result of the outbreak of the Crown of Thorns starfish? A . The fish that fed on grass will disappear.B . There will be more coral in the Great Barrier Reef.C . It will bring luck to people who are working in that area.D . Fewer and fewer tourists will visit the Great Barrier Reef.（3）What does the underlined word triggered mean in the passage? A . firedB . causedC . preventedD . recorded（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A . The Great Barrier ReefB . The Situation of the CoralC . The Australian Tourism lndustryD . The Crown of Thorns Outbreaks20. （8分）阅读理解 There are many colours in nature. But do you know if a colour has weight? I think youll say no. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you dont believe, you may do a small experiment. First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then, cover the box. Third, wrap(包裹) one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier. Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colours have different weight in a mans mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind and their order(顺序) is the same. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white. The scientist told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every colour stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength (波长). It reaches our brain(大脑) through sense organs(感觉器官).According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colours they like, and refuse the colours they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or youll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, youll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, youll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colours.（1）The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us _. A . a red box is heavier than a white oneB . a colour has weight in ones mindC . white paper is lighter than red paperD . you can know the weight of a colour by holding it（2）Why did the scientist say colours have smell? A . Because every colour has its own sweet smellB . Because we can smell colours with our nose.C . Because people can sense the light from colours.D . Because every colour can give off light of the same wavelength.（3）We can infer(推断) from the text that _. A . colours have orders in weightB . colours can change the weight of an objectC . people would stay longer in a room with red windowsD . colours can influence our mood(心情) and health（4）This passage is probably a _. A . newspaper ad.B . fiction novelC . childrens storyD . science report四、 词汇运用 (共10题；共10分)21. （1分）We will try our best w _we are successful or not 22. （1分）China has the biggest p_in the world. 23. （1分）Ten and thirty is f_. 24. （1分）We eat a lot of_(蔬菜)every day 25. （1分）My brother is a football _(运动员). 26. （1分）(A)Complete the passage according to the first letters or the proper forms of the words given.根据首字母或单词提示，用所给词的正确形式完成短文.Do you understand your parents love?
