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 nature's 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 shoes ‎22. What would happen to the butterfly finally without the old man's help?‎ A. It would have died in the cocoon.‎ B. It would have become 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. beat ‎24. What can we learn from this story? ‎ A. Man can never go against nature.‎ B. It's necessary to live with some difficulties.‎ C. One cannot help others without thinking twice.‎ D. Mankind should take good care of insects.‎ B Animals 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 animal’s 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 only C. are not clever enough D. can get the lower leaves easily 26. To defend themselves, oak trees use________.‎ A. chemical means B. physical means C. bitter chemicals D. sandy materials ‎27. 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.‎ ‎28．What would be the best title for this passage?‎ A. Plants and Animals B. How Plants Defend Themselves C. Attacks and Defenses D. How Animals Eat Plant Leaves C ‎8：30 PM Outlook Outlook is back with a new series of reports to keep you up date with all that's new in the world of entertainment .

It looks the same. It smells the same. You’ll realize what”s changed is you. Home is where we can remember pain，love，and some other experiences：We parted here；My parents met here；I won three championships here.‎ If I close my eyes，I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glasstop wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It”s empty，but it”s where my earliest memories are.‎ There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays，and where I cried on Halloween－when I didn”t want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table，I can see my favorite room in the house，my parents’room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime－waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.‎ I”m lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart，on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived，I grew，and I learned.‎ Sometimes when I feel lost，I lie down and shut my eyes，and I go home. I know it’s where I’ll find my family，my dogs，and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I’ll be blamed by Mom. But I don’t mind，because I want to hear her say my name，which reminds me I’m home.‎ ‎33.

What is the author’ s purpose of writing this passage?‎ A．To express how much she is attached to her home.‎ B．To declare how much she loves her first house.‎ C．To describe the state of her family.‎ D．To look back on her childhood.‎ 第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项， 选项中有两项多余选项。‎ As a child grows up，you may wonder how you can teach him to become a respectful adult． ‎36 A child who learns to respect not only learns to receive respect from others，but also learns to respect others．‎ ‎●Show him respect．‎ This is the best way to teach your child how to respect others．Listen to your child attentively and he will learn to listen to you，understanding how important it is in communication．‎ ‎● 37 ‎ The more you say “please” and “thank you” to your child，the more likely he will learn to use them．Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation．‎ ‎●Agree to disagree．‎ ‎ 38 Explain your decision so that he will understand you and expect respectful responses．Disagreeing with you doesn’t necessarily mean disobedience（不顺从）．‎ ‎●Control your impulse to overreact．‎ When a situation arises，stay calm and keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior． 39 ‎ ‎●Praise，praise，praise．‎ So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that his accomplishments are not celebrated enough． 40 ‎ A．Teach manners by using polite requests and responses．‎ B．Try to remember that a child won’t always agree with you．‎ C．Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life．‎ D．If he sees you lose your temper，he is more likely to respond that way in future．‎ E．A child may act as he pleases，and he will live a happy life．‎ F．Seeing a child exhibit respectful behavior，make sure he knows how proud you are of him．‎ G．Respectful behavior is always accompanied by bad behavior as a child．‎ 第三部分： 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎　 One day, not too long ago, the employees of a large company in St.‎ ‎ Louis,Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door.

Firstly, by looking at our own country from outside, we can widen our vision and broaden our minds. Secondly, we can visit famous scenic spots and make friends with the local people. Thirdly, we can use the foreign language in our daily life so that our ability in the second language may be improved quickly. ‎ However, there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign school. The most serious problem is the language barrier. On arriving there, they find it difficult to understand what the teachers are saying. Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, so most students have to find part-time jobs to support themselves. Faced with these difficulties, many students find themselves unable to pay full attention to their studies and learn little. ‎ In my opinion, it is a good thing to study abroad. However, one must not lose sight of the disadvantages
