Animals, spiders, insects.One day while walking through the woods, the nice old man found a cocoon(茧) of a butterfly. He took it home. A few days later, a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled 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 farther. Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining of the cocoon.The butterfly then appeared easily.But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled(皱缩的) wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that , at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract(缩小) in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.It never was able to fly.What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were natures way of forcing fluid(液体) from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were allowed to go through our life without any obstacles(挫折), it would cripple us. We should not be as strong as what we could have been.And we could never fly.21. What did the old man find when walking through the woods?A. A cocoon of a butterfly B. A butterfly C. A spider D. A pair of shoes22. What would happen to the butterfly finally without the old mans help?A. It would have died in the cocoon.B. It would have bee a true butterfly.C. It would have been strong enough to go farther.D. It would have stopped struggling through the cocoon.23. The underlined word “cripple in Paragraph 6 probably means_.A. disable B. climb C. enable D. beat24. What can we learn from this story? A. Man can never go against nature.B. Its necessary to live with some difficulties.C. One cannot help others without thinking twice.D. Mankind should take good care of insects.BAnimals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is underattack, it can run away or fight back. . Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws.But plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means. Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach. Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animals teeth. Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液). A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.25. The holly plant has more spines on the lower leaves because most animals_. A. are not tall enough B. like the lower leaves onlyC. are not clever enough D. can get the lower leaves easily26. To defend themselves, oak trees use_.A. chemical means B. physical meansC. bitter chemicals D. sandy materials27. How does tobacco protect itself against an attack from a caterpillar? A. Its leaves fight against the attack by physical means. B. Its roots send a messenger to discourage the caterpillar. C. Its roots increase the production of nicotine when it is attacked. D. Its leaves produce poisonous sand to drive the caterpillar away.28What would be the best title for this passage?A. Plants and Animals B. How Plants Defend ThemselvesC. Attacks and Defenses D. How Animals Eat Plant LeavesC8：30 PMOutlookOutlook is back with a new series of reports to keep you up date with all thats new in the world of entertainment .
