题目内容

　　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（枯萎的）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，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 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（使无能）us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. And we could never fly.

59．The old man cut the cocoon in order to__________.

A．kill the butterfly

B．play with the butterfly

C．make the butterfly come out easily

D．have the butterfly

60．The reason why the butterfly could not fly is that__________.

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

61．What can we know from the passage？

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.

62．What does the author want to tell us by writing the passage？

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.

This was one of my experiences 1 .When I was in my 30s,I was working for a large international company which had its head office in London. I was working in the 2 department.

The company had a training center which was just outside London. Different courses were held there throughout 3 and I 4 go on one training course a year. These usually started 5 a Sunday evening and lasted six days.

Once I was 6 a week’s training course with about forty 7 sales people. I was in the bar on the Friday evening and suddenly a woman who was 8 behind the bar asked me a curious question.“I hope you don’t 9 my asking,” she said, “but I’ve been 10 about it all week. Have you got a sister 　　11 Mary?” The woman’s name was June. And she used to do various jobs at the training center’s worked in the office, she organized all the food and drink for the center and she worked in the bar at lunch time and in the evening.

My answer 12 June’s question was “Yes”,and June said,“I thought 13 .I met her last September when she was organizing a course here.” At that time, my sister was working for 14 company but in a different part of the country. That was 15 she came to be at the training center.
16 surprised me was how June guessed we were brother and sister. Three things made it even more 　　17 .First, she had met my sister six months before she met me. Second, they have about sixty new people every week at the training center’s about one thousand five hundred people had 18 the center in those six months. And 19 ,my sister is married, so she doesn’t have the same family name as me.

We’re not 20 ,but I guess we must look quite like each other.

　 As a physician who travels quite a lot, I spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded “Is there a doctor on board?” announcement.

　　The study estimated that there are a(n) 　24 of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day. Most of them are not 　25 ; fainting and dizziness are the most frequent complaints. 26 13% of them — roughly four a day — are serious enough to 　27 a pilot to change course. The most common of the serious emergencies 　28 heart trouble, strokes, and difficulty breathing.

　　Let’s face it: plane rides are 　29 . For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly 　　 30 they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty 　31 , but passengers with heart disease 　32 experience chest pains as a result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood. 　33 common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis — the so-called economy class syndrome (综合症). 　34 happens, don’t panic. Things are getting better on the in-flight-emergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation (立法), flights with at 　　 35 one attendant are starting to install emergency medical kits to treat heart attacks.
