2．Once upon a time，there was a wonderful old man who loved everything on the land--animals and plants．
One day while walking through the woods，the old man found a cocoon 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 cut the remaining bit of the cocoon．The butterfly then came out easily．
But it had a swollen body and small，shriveled 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，or they would be smaller．Neither happened!In fact，the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled （枯萎）wings．It never was able to fly．
What the man in his kindness and hurry did not understand was that the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening was nature's way of forcing fluid 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 cripple （无能） us．We would not be as strong as what we could have been．And we could never fly．

21．The old man cut the cocoon in order toC．
A．kill the butterfly
B．play with the butterfly
C．make the butterfly come out easily
D．have the butterfly
22．The reason why the butterfly could not fly is thatD．
A．the old man broke its wings
B．it was too small
C．newly born butterflies can't fly
D．it came out of its cocoon without enough struggle
23．What can we know from the passage？B
A．That old man was fond of everything except the butterfly．
B．It was the old man that stopped the butterfly flying．
C．The old man realized his mistake．
D．It's not hard for the butterfly to come out of the cocoon．
24．What does the author want to tell us by writing the passage？C
A．We should help others．
B．Without others help we can still succeed．
C．Struggles in our life can make us stronger．
D．Butterflies can fly without people's help．

12．When young people in the United States gather for fun，there is a good chance that they will soon be dancing．If there are no musicians，they will play records．If there are no records，someone is certain to have a radio．One way or another there will be dancing．
The ways that boys and girls dance will often change every year or two．You may hear them say that the very latest steps are‘in'，while last year's steps are‘out'．Each boy and girl takes pride in learning newest things．They feel that this is important to remain popular with their friends．
Years ago the dances of young people were not very different from those of their parents，but high school and college students of today have created their own music and have invented their own dances，thanks to people like Chubby Checker，the Beatles，and Elvis Presley．These musicians helped to make popular an exciting new kind of music that people began to dance to in a different way．
In the late 1950s Chubby Checker started a dance that he called the"twist．"The twist，like so many new dances，was lively，and people who performed it used a lot of energy．The word chubby means"a little bit fat，"which is why this singer and dancer called himself Chubby．
After demonstrating his new dance hundreds of times，however，Chubby was no longer chubby．This is one of the advantages．Even if older people do not like the new dances，they must agree that people，get much more exercise from modern dances than they ever got from a waltz．
56．What are three ways to have music for dancing？（no more than 4words）①Musicians；　②Records；　③Radios
57．How often do ways of dancing to rock music change？（no more than 4 words）Every year or two．
58．For what purpose do young people learn the newest dance？（no more than 6 words）
To remain popular with their friends．
59．Why did Chubby Checker become famous？（no more than 6 words）Because he invented a new dance．/Because he started the"twist"dance．
60．What is an advantage of modern dancing？（no more than 3 words）Getting more exercise．．
13．How men first learned to invent words is unknown； in other words，the origin of language is a mystery．All we really know is that men，unlike animals，somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings，actions and things，so that they could communicate with each other； and that later they agreed upon certain signs，they called letters，which could be combined to represent those sounds，and which could be written down．Those sounds，whether spoken，or written in letters，we call words．
The power of words，then，lies in their associations-the things they bring up before our minds．Words become filled with meaning for us by experience； and the longer we live，the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past； and the more we read and learn，the more the number of words that mean something to us increase．
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings．This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style．Above all，the real poet is a master of words．He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music，and which by their position and association can move men to tears．We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately，or they make our speech silly and rude．

A．The History of Words

10．Science flying in the face of gravity
    It looked just like another aircraft from the outside．The pilot told his young passengers that it was built in 1964，based on the 707．But appearances were deceptive，and the 13 students from Europe and the USA who boarded the aircraft were in for the flight of their lives．
    Inside，the area that normally had seats had become a long white tunnel．Heavily padded from floor to ceiling，there were almost no windows，but lights along the padded walls eerily illuminated（照明）it．Most of the seats had been taken out，apart from a few at the back，where the young scientists quickly took their places with a look of apprehension．
    For 12 months，science students from across the continents had competed to win a place on the flight at the invitation of the European Space Agency．The challenge had been to suggest imaginative experiments to be conducted in weightless conditions．
    For the next two hours the Boeing's flight resembled that of an enormous bird which had lost its reason，shooting upwards towards the heavens before hurtling towards Earth．The intention was to achieve weightlessness for a few second．
    The aircraft took off smoothly enough，but any feelings that I and the young scientists had that we were on anything like a scheduled passenger service were quickly dismissed when the pilot put the plane into a 45-degree climb which lasted around 20 seconds．Then the engines cut out and we became weightless．Everything became confused and left or right，up or down no longer had any meaning．After 10 seconds of free-fall descent the pilot pulled the aircraft out of its nosedive．The return of gravity was less immediate than its loss，but was still sudden enough to ensure that some students came down with a bump．
    Each time the pilot cut the engines and we became weightless，a new team conducted its experiment．First it was the Dutch who wanted to discover how it is that cats always land on their feet．Then the German team who conducted a successful experiment on a traditional building method to see if it could be used for building a future space station．
    After two hours of going up and down in the plane doing their experiments，most of the students thought it was an unforgettable experience and one they would be keen to repeat．
46．What does the underlined word"eerily"in Paragraph 2 mean？B
A．clearly         B．strangely           C．badly              D．brightly
47．Why was this text written？D
A．To report on a new scientific technique．
B．To show scientists what young people can do．
C．To encourage young people to take up science．
D．To describe the outcome of a scientific competition．
48．What did the pilot do with the plane？C
A．He climbed and then made the plane turn over．
B．He climbed and then made the plane fall slowly．
C．He quickly climbed and then stopped the engines．
D．He took off normally and then cut the engines for 20 seconds．
49．What was the point of being weightless？B
A．To see what conditions are like in space．
B．To allow the teams to try out their ideas．
C．To prepare the young scientists for future work in space．
D．To show unforgettable experiences for the young scientists．
17．Something strange was unbelievable．Take Robert for example．After the terrible car accident，his whole world had been completely dark and quiet for almost ten years．The loss of sight and hearing made him try many times to put end to his life．
His family especially his wife did their best to tend and comfort him．By and by he finally regained the courage to live on．
On a hot summer afternoon he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started suddenly．He stood under a large tree in order not to get himself wet．Unfortunately he was struck down to the ground by a lightning．The witnesses thought him dead but he woke up some 20minutes later lying face down in muddy water below the tree．He felt that he was trembling badly，but when he opened his eyes，he didn't dare to believe that he saw a plough（ 犁子 ）lying near the wall．When Mrs Edwards came running up to him，she shouted their neighbours for help．And he saw her and heard her voice for the first time in nearly ten years．
The news of Robert's regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread in his area．And many doctors came to prove the truth of the news．Most of them said that he gained sight and hearing again obviously from the knock of lightning； none of them could give convincing reasons，however．The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that，since Edwards lost his sight and hearing as a result of sudden shock in a terrible accident，perhaps the only way for them to regain was by another sudden shock．

56．What did Edwards see first after being struck down by a lightning？C

C．Doctor held the belief that Edwards was never really blind and deaf．
D．Edwards woke up with face in mud．
58．What was Edwards doing when he was struck by the lightning？A
A．Hiding from the rain under a tree．
B．Driving a car．
C．Taking a walk                   
D．lying on the ground
59．How did Edwards get his sight and hearing once more according to the doctor？D
A．He regained them from head injury when he fell from a tree．
B．His wife's first visit after almost ten years made him so happy that he regained them．
C．The lightning took the feeling from his legs and gave the senses of sight and hearing to his head．
D．The blow that caused him blind and deaf was very severe，so it took another severe blow to regain them．
7．Give themencouragement（鼓励）to live as rich and full a life as you do．
14．Once there lived a rich man（66）whowanted to do something for the people of his town．（67）But  first he wanted to find out whether they deserved his help．
In the centre of the main road into the town，he placed  （68）a very large stone．Then he （69）hid（hide ） behind a tree and waited．Soon an old man came along with his cow．
"Who put this stone in the centre of the road？"said the old man，but he did not try to remove the stone．Instead，with some difficulty he passed around the stone and continued on his way．（70）Another  man came along and did the same thing； then another came，and another．All of them complained about the stone but not tried to remove （71）it．Late in the afternoon a young man came along．He saw the stone，（72）saying （say） to himself："The night（73）will be （be） very dark．Some neighbors will come along later in the dark and will fall against the stone．"
Then he began to move the stone．He pushed and pulled with all his  （74）strength（strong） to move it．How great was his surprise at last!（75）Under the stone，he found a bag of money．

One hundred and forty million years before human being existed，dinosaurs ruled earth．
They lived for such long on the earth that they developed into many different species．They had few enemies beside each other，so each species had to protect their young from been eaten by other dinosaurs．As they lived in a warm and wet climate，there were plenty of food，so dinosaur species multiply quickly．Who knows what would have happened if the earth's weather had not changed？Sad it became hot and dry and the dinosaurs were unable to prevent them from disappearing altogether．It is still a mystery that why they suddenly became extinct．
However，students and scientists love to study their bones and imagine their life so they can solve the mystery in the future．
