解析:

这是一篇富有哲理的记叙文。绿色象征生命，红色象征热情，黄色是收获之色……，颜色之间也要一争高下，比比谁更重要。斑斓世界，五颜六色，一个也不能少。看那雨后的彩虹，也许你会因此而相信唯有手拉手，肩并肩，才能创造出美丽和希望。热爱自己，珍惜他人，明天更美好。

36．D 由上文代表“草、树、叶”推测可知：没有我，其它的动物就会死亡。

37．A 由下文的“天空和海洋”相对比，结合上文所谈及的“草、树、叶”可知，此处指“陆地”。

38．C 此处是强调句型，只能用it is。

39．B 此处与第一段的最后一句有异曲同工的作用，意为：没有我的润滑，你们全都没有（即：死亡）。

40．A 此处所填单词，应与前面的laughter, fun是同类型的词，表示积极向上的词，而sadness，depression，anxiety则表示“消极”之意。

41．D 桔黄色在平时不多见，结合下文只有在太阳升起或落下时出现，因此用scarce表示“稀少，不常见”。

42．C 由常识可知，只有在太阳升起或落下时出现桔黄色。

43．C 此上文“我的美丽如此迷人”推断下文“当我出现时，没有人会想起你们的”。give thought to想起，注意。

44．D 由下文shouted out可知，红色再也忍不住了，no longer表示“不再”。

45．B 由上文bravery可知，此处意义为：我愿意为真理而斗争。fight for“为……而战”。

46．A 由上文各种颜色的讲话内容及此句中的boasting（夸耀）可知，它们都在吹嘘自己的优点或优势（superiority）。

47．C 由谓语动词“倾盆而下（pour down）”可知，副词用violently，来表示“猛烈、激烈”。

48．B 由谓语“蜷缩（crouched down）”及下文“互相缩成一团”可知：它们处于“恐惧之中”。

49．A amongst常用于书面语中，其意义等于among。

50．D 句中的动词dominate是“优于，超出”，根据上文的内容，他们极力说自己的优点，想超出对方，因此用the rest，来表示除自己之处的所有的其它颜色。

51．D 由for a special purpose可知，各种颜色都有自己的特殊的用途，它们所具有的特点都是其它颜色没有的，因此用unique and different来表示“独特的和与众不同的”。

52．C 此处表示三者以上的“互相”，用one another。意为：大家手拉手。

53．C 由下文joined hands可知，它们“团结一心”。

54．B 此处是拟人说法，wash有“冲洗”之意。意为：一场大雨之后。

55．A 它们互相合作，形成了美丽的彩虹，如果没有大家的配合，是不可能形成彩虹的。因此这种美丽是大家协作的结晶，所以它们都“感激，感谢”对方的参与。

Once upon a time a king, in the company of his ministers, went to the imperial garden for a walk. When he was walking around a pond, a strange idea 26 upon him and he asked, “How many buckets(桶) of water are there in the pond?” The ministers looked at each other, 27 to give an answer.

Rather 28 , the king ordered, “You have three days’ grace. Any one who offers an answer will be handsomely awarded. Those who fail will be 29 .”

The time limit was due in the twinkling（闪烁）of an eye, yet the ministers were still at their wit’s end. At this time a child appeared who declared that he knew the answer. The king told his 30 ministers to go with the child for the measurement. To their 31 , the child refused the suggestion with a smile, “It is very easy. No 32 to go to the pond.” This made the king laugh 33 , “Alright, let us know what it is.” The child winked (眨眼) and said, “That 34 on the size of the bucket. If it is as big as the pond, there is one bucket of water; if it is half as big, two buckets; if one third as big, three buckets; if...” “Stop! That’s it. You’ve got the 35 .” The king was satisfied and the child was duly rewarded.

Why did the ministers feel it so different to settle the problem? Because they fell in a pitfall (陷阱), following a wrong way of thinking. People’s thinking often goes a habitual way — the beaten track of straightforwardness. 36 is a static (静态的) way presupposing every object definite and certain, i.e. the size of the pond and the bucket should be clearly 37 . If one of them is unknown, it will be difficult to do the measurement, let alone 38 . Why not change your mode of thought — from static to dynamic（动态的）, from concrete to 39 ? If you adopt an indirect way and try to find out the proportional relation between the pond and the bucket, you’ll get an answer — flexible yet 40 to solve the problem.

Sometimes to get out of the difficulty one must change one’s way of thinking, or simply change one’s approach towards a problem.

1. A. fixed B. focused C. came D. looked

2.A. struggling B. thinking C. falling D. failing

3.A. disappointed B. excited C. pleased D. contented

4.A. killed B. punished C. blamed D. scolded

If you are in a town in a western country, you'll often see people walking with their dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful animal in the world. But the reason why one keeps a dog has changed Once upon a time, a man met a dog and wanted it to help him in the fight against other animals, and he found that the dog listened to him and did what he told him to. Later people used dogs for the hunting other animals, and the dogs didn't eat what they got until their master agreed. So dogs were used for driving sheep and guarding chicks. But now the people in the towns and cities do not need dogs to fight other animals. Of course they keep them to frighten thieves, but the most important reason is that people feel lonely in the city. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For a young wife, a dog is her child when she doesn’t have her own. For old people, a dog is also a child when their real children have grown up and left. Now people do not have to use a dog, but they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family.

Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.

One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.

As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?”

The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean.” “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?” “The sun is up and the tide is going out, and if I don’t throw them in they’ll die.”

“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”

The young man listened politely, then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.”

There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future.

We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.

One day, the wise man saw the young man .
