Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle(挣扎;奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father's death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The youngpeople of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.1.From the story we know that the butterfly can't fly because .A.it gets out by itselfB.the man feels sorry for itC.it tries to challenge itselfD.the man helps it come out2.Dennis's example shows that successful people should .

The boy is me, six years ago when I was just 11. The car was small and simple, but in my imagination it was a high-speed racing car, speeding along the race road.It was during the school summer holidays and workmen were building a new driveway and garage(车库) beside our house. It meant to add something new to our home. When I watched the workmen, I came up with an idea—I would build a car to drive into the garage in celebration of it. I told my mother and began with my plans. But I couldn't find the right things for making the car, so I gave up and sadly spent several days doing nothing. My mother noticed that I had stopped working and asked me why. I explained and she suggested that maybe I should change my plan to fit the things I had, rather than give up.And that's just what I did. I found small pieces of wood in my father's workshop and made my car from anything that was lying around the house. When I found a small engine(发动机) from one of my old model planes, I added that. The power came from a battery(电池) I found in a box.By the time the garage was finished, so was my car. I called my family together outside the house, started the engine and put the car on the driveway. It was fast and I had to run to the garage to prevent it from hitting the new door. My family began to cheer and I smiled proudly. Thanks to my mother I learned the value ofcontinuing to do things, especially something difficult. Soon I was making plans for my next project: a robot!1.The writer was when he made the model car.A.a student B.a driverC.a workman D.an engineer2.The writer making the first planned car.A.gave up B.felt excited aboutC.was very busy D.spent several days3.To help the writer, his mother .A.explained the plan to himB.brought him to the workshopC.gave him some suggestionsD.found him some pieces of wood4.By the time the car was finished, .A.the writer thanked his motherB.the family was called togetherC.the writer put it into the houseD.the family began a new project5.What did the writer mainly tell us?A.Keep on doing things to the end.B.Think hard before doing something.C.Always ask for help when in trouble.D.Try the best to find the right things to do.(三)Super International Crafts(工艺品) Market1/F, Super Shopping Center, 12 Shopping Road, Kowloon, next to Dandy's Store and Cleo's Cafe1.The passage above is probably .A.a piece of news B.a visitor's letter C.a shopping guide D.a trip introduction 2.The Super International Crafts Market is .A.next to Cleo's CafeB.next to 12 Shopping RoadC.on 1/F, Dandy's StoreD.on 2/F, Super Shopping Center3.People can in the market.A.learn about different culturesB.visit the International Children's FundC.sell their own hand-crafted productsD.see beautiful things mostly from Kowloon4.Which is right according to the passage?A.Two bracelets cost $20.B.The bracelets look the same.C.Each bag costs only $135.D.The handbags are colorful.5.What can we do to have a free trip to a country in the market?A.Give money to the ICF.B.Take part in a lucky draw.C.Buy wooden beads from Africa.D.Taste different foods in the market.(四)Tuesday, 1st SeptemberI had mixed feelings today, nervous, worried, happy, excited... My heart went down when Miss Chan, our head teacher, said that Matthew and Beth, two students from England, would spend three months with us! I was worried that I had to speak English so much! But at the end of the school day, I was happier than I thought: the morning with them today was more enjoyable than I expected.Today is the most unforgettable first day I have had! Matthew is fantastic! His English is clearer and easier to listen to than I thought. The other English student, Beth, is the most helpful girl I've ever met. There were lots of things to do on the first day. Beth offered to help Miss Chan put up all the notices. Of course, some of the credit(功劳) should also go to ME because I translated some of the notices for her. Miss Chan praised us!We finished all the preparations 10 minutes earlier than expected, then Beth and I talked for a while. Matthew sang several English songs and did some stand-upcomedy(单人喜剧表演) at the party. We all praised him. When the bell rang to end the first school day, none of us wanted to leave.When I went back home, I had a little headache.

Every great achievement has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality(现实).Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naive. With their rich imagination, they will come up with fantastic dreams. History is full of examples. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison. He used to be ostracized(排斥) when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else's in his time.Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. They dreamt big and their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to human besides making money for themselves.Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world.To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympicrecords were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true.1.People who could probably realize their dreams.A.find a way to dreamB.dream and hold fast to themC.get the meaning of lifeD.have very good school results2.Young people should be encouraged to dream because .A.their dreams are naturalB.they are greater than everyone elseC.they have much knowledgeD.their dreams might change the world3.What does the example of Colonel Saunders show us?A.Setting up a big company is a wonderful ability.B.Developing technology can bring great progress.C.Even older people can make their dreams come true.D.People should be brave enough to dream when they are young.4.The underlined word “naive” in the passage means “” in Chinese.

It allows the visitors to rent a room from a local(当地的) family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitor's language ability,” sai d a teacher during a school meeting last term. “Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won't be disappointed(失望的).”After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family(寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too. The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight-seeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities. The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong.1.In the “homestay” program, a visitor can .A.learn more about holidaysB.understand his culture betterC.improve the language abilityD.take part in foreign meeting2.The writer had wanted to visit London since .A.last month B.years agoC.the special meeting D.her stay abroad3.The group leader should .A.make plans for the familyB.take care of the studentsC.stay with different familiesD.rent rooms to the students4.The writer's host family .A.was very kind to herB.went sight-seeing with herC.had two white daughtersD.was interested in her activities5.From the passage, we know that the writer in London.

In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn't accepted by all people.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don't need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education,but certainly not the most important or the main reason.1.People with little education usually .A.spend a long time in schoolB.have a good chance to get a jobC.spend the best years to choose jobsD.have fewer chances to get a good job2.The earliest education was probably to .A.make a man lead a better lifeB.teach a man to write and readC.make people get a way of livingD.teach people to read good books3.The underlined word “well­rounded” in the passage means “” in Chinese. A.圆满的B.崭新的C.公平的D.全面的4.It is expected that educated people will be able to .A.accept education as a way of livingB.take an interest in the whole worldC.develop their abilities to make playsD.learn subjects like language and math5.The passage mainly tells us that .A.education should make a man improveB.people can get education in a short timeC.people should be able to get good paying jobsD.all subjects are so important for a way of living(九)When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my s tudents had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them.“Does your mom love you?” “Of course,” they answered. “How do you know?” was my logical question. They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned. So mom's cooking and criticizing read out as “I love you”.“Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love. I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes over time.Gradually, I began to get different responses. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms. One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged(拥抱) her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”In my fam ily we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, evenwhen said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.1.The foreign teacher .A.comes from AmericaB.is a young womanC.is expressive enoughD.knows much about China2.Chinese people prefer to show love by .A.saying “I love you”B.cookingC.getting good gradesD.doing something helpful3.In Paragraph 4, what's the real meaning of the mom's hugging?A.She is meeting her daughter at the door.B.She loves her daughter and misses her.C.She is glad that she has more time to herself.D.She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.4.What's the main idea of the passage?A.Say “I love you” more to your family.B.Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people.C.Say “I love you” as a greeting to others.D.Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings.(十)“Without music, life would be a mistake,” famous German philosopher(哲学家)Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets(预算).For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus(关注) on subjects that are tested more often.However, learning music is useful in many ways.When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode(解码) them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck did well in playing the piano.1.Some schools in the US cut music classes, because .A.they were too difficult to learnB.students in the US weren't interested in musicC.the schools wanted to control budgetsD.there weren't enough music teachers in the US2.What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?A.Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.B.Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.C.Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.D.Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music. 3.How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage? A.One. B.Two.C.Three. D.Four.4.What's the writer's opinion according to this passage?A.Music is as simple as it looks.B.Music classes should be cut in some schools.C.Music is a big part of our lives.D.Music isn't a very important life skill for us.(十一)Young people and older people don't always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and build houses. The adults teach them these skills.There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photo taking or painting. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.When people live together, rules are necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the program goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? Wha t should we do about it?”One of the teenagers has this to say about his experience, “You stop thinking only about yourself. You learn to think about the group.”1.In one special program in New York State, young people and older people .A.don't work well togetherB.teach one another new ways of building housesC.are friendly to one anotherD.spend eight weeks together, working as farmers2.All the members work some time every day mainly to .A.lead a busy lifeB.learn new skills of farmingC.get used to the life on the farmsD.find value and pleasure in work3.Living together, .A.the teenagers don't have to obey the rulesB.the teenagers have to obey the rules the adults makeC.the members have no free time on weekendsD.the members are not allowed to break the rules they make together4.The last paragraph shows that the teenager thinks his experience in the program is .A.unpleasant B.tiringC.helpful D.boring(十二)(2019·改编)Marco Polo was from Venice, Italy. In 1271, at age 17, Marco went on a trip with his father and uncle to China. Today people often travel to different places around the world. But it was very hard for people from Europe to visit China then. After three and a half years, the Polos reached China in 1275.While he was there, Marco Polo worked for Kublai Khan, the emperor(皇帝) of China. He was able to learn and experience many things that were new to Europeans. In his diary, he wrote, “Kublai Khan's palace is the greatest I've ever seen. The streets of the new capital. Daidu, are so straight and so wide.” Paper money also to ok him by surprise, since it was not yet in use in the West at that time. Homes were heated with “black stones... which burn like wood.” These stones were coal, and most of the Europeans knew little about it then.After 17 years in China, Marco and his family finally returned to Venice in 1292. After he returned home, Marco completed a book about his trip, full of facts about his wonderful experiences in China.1.How was Marco Polo's three-and-a-half-year journey to China? A.Expensive.

Many people call this plant a tree, but it is kind of grass.Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains.Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may bea few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables(缆绳) that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min river in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills can help to make the poor thirsty fields to be watered.1.According to the passage, bamboo is .A.thin and tall B.in different colorsC.wide and short D.in the same shape2.What do you know about bamboo in this passage?A.Bamboo is a kind of a tree.B.Bamboo grows everywhere in the world.C.Bamboo can grow back very quickly after being cut short.D.Bamboo cannot grow on plains but on the mountains.3.Why is bamboo used by African poor farmers?A.Because using bamboo to find water doesn't need much money.B.Because bamboo is the best way to help water poor thirsty fields.C.Because bamboo has been used in many ways in Africa for several centuries.D.Because bridges made of bamboo are much stronger than those made of stone. 4.What's the main idea of the passage?A.There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo in the world.B.Bamboo is one of the nature's most surprising plants.C.Cables made of bamboo are strong enough to hold a bridge.D.Some bamboo can grow to more than 30 centimeters across.(十四)Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. “I got a red flower today. Could you please sign this note?” he said to mom. The note showed that he had been talking in class.Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is “OK”,but often he gets “You can do better than this.” Mom knows what it means. She tells him “You can do better than this” means “very bad” in China.In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is “Please be nicer tomorrow”. Many parents are satisfied with a B­grade for each subject their children get.But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6th grader in the USA! Yet his parents and teachers didn't think he worked enough.Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are。
