鲁教版2019-2020学年八年级上学期英语期末考试试卷B卷姓名:_ 班级:_ 成绩:_一、 阅读理解 (共4题；共15分)1. （4分）阅读理解 Once upon a time in a land far away, there was a wonderful old man who loved all kinds of small animals, such as spiders, insects and butterflies and so on.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 make its body out of that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared 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 bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then got out of the cocoon easily.But it had a swollen（肿胀的） body and small shriveled（枯萎的） wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge to be able to support the body, which would contract（收缩） in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.What the warm-hearted man in his kindness 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（体液） 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 difficulties, it would be bad for us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. And we could never fly.（1）How did the butterfly get out of the cocoon according to the passage? A . It got out of the cocoon by itself.B . The cocoon was broken.C . The old man helped it get out.D . Another butterfly helped it.（2）What does the underlined word struggle mean? A . Try very hard to.B . Have to.C . Have great difficulties to.D . Fight against.（3）When did the old man decide to help the butterfly? A . When the old man saw it.B . When the small opening appeared.C . As soon as the old man got home.D . After the butterfly struggled for several hours.（4）Where should the missing sentence It never was able to fly be put? A . Between Paragraph 3 and 4.B . Between Paragraph 4 and 5.C . Between Paragraph 5 and 6.D . Between Paragraph 6 and 7.（5）What can we learn from the story? A . We shouldnt help others.B . We cant get over difficulties.C .

Sometimes it can take the tiger several days to finish eating its food. When the tiger is full, it will cover the dead animal with leaves. Later, when the tiger is hungry again, it comes back to eat some more.Tigers are different from others in the cat family. They like water and often jump into rivers to swim. Some tigers live in very cold places-in North Korea, Russia and China. Other tigers live in warmer places-in India and parts of Southeast Asia.But now all tigers are in danger.
