A man found the cocoon of a butterfly.One day a small 36 ,appeared.He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it  37 to force its body through that little hole.Then it seemed to stop making any  38 .It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could,and it could go  39 further.

So the man decided to  40  the butterfly.He took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon.

The butterfly came out  41 .But it then had a swollen body and small,shriveled  42 .

The man  43 to watch the butterfly because he expected that,at any moment,the wings would enlarge to be able to ? 44 ? the body,which would contract in time.So he waited patiently.

 45  happened!In fact,the butterfly  46 the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.It never was able to  47 .What a shame!

 48  the man,in his kindness and’ fast action,did not understand was that the suffering and the struggle  49  for the butterfly to get through the tiny hole were nature’s way of  50  fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings ? 51 ? it would be ready for flight once it achieved its  52 from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are 53 what we need in our lives.If nature allowed us to go through our lives  54  any difficulties,it would weaken or even disable us.We would not be as  55 as what we could have been.We could never fly!

[文章大意]本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,通过一个人帮助蝴蝶出茧,弄巧成拙的事情来说明有时挣扎、斗争恰恰就是我们生活中所需要的。

36.[答案]A

[解析]opening(n.) “开口”,可以从后面的句子“force its body through that little hole.”中的little hole得知答案。

37.[答案]B

[解析]根据后面的force its body through that little hole.“用力地使它的身体通过那个小洞”和“Then it seemed to stop making any  38 .”可知应是“挣扎着进行,艰苦进行”。 struggle “挣扎,努力”。

38.[答案]D

40.[答案]B

[解析]根据下一句“He took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon.”可推断这个人决定帮助蝴蝶。

41.[答案]C

[解析]easily(adv.) “容易地”,由于剪刀的帮助,蝴蝶就很容易的能够出来了。

42.[答案]D

[解析]从下文的第五段第二句“he rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.”可以得到答案。

43.[答案]A

[解析]从下文“because he expected that,at any moment,the wings would enlarge to be able to  44  the body,which would contract in time.So he waited patiently.”可知他是继续观察蝴蝶。continue to do “继续做某事”。

44.[答案]A

[解析]此句意思是“他期待着这小小的皱缩的翅膀将会变大,能够支撑它的及时收缩的身体”。support “支撑,支持(重量)”。

45.[答案]D

[解析]根据后面所述内容“

In fact,the butterfly  46 the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.It never was able to  47 .What a shame!”可知什么也没有发生,即这个人期待的事情并没有发生。故应用否定词neither。

46.[答案]B

[解析]根据后面的“crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.”可判断出用spent。spend time(in) doing sth.花时间做某事。

了慢慢地将体内的水分挤到翅膀上,好为了某日的破茧而出的飞翔作好准备”。required作定语,修饰the suffering and the struggle,意为 “要求,需要”。

50.[答案]A

[解析]force(v.) 促进,促使。这句话是说蝴蝶挣扎爬出茧上的小开口的过程,就是为了慢慢地将体内的水分挤到翅膀上,好为了某日的破茧而出的飞翔作好准备。force...into...强行使……进入……。make into 制成,与句意不符。故应用forcing。

51.[答案]C

[解析]so that...“以便于……”表示目的。根据句意可判断出答案。

52.[答案]B

[解析]根据后面的介词from可知这个短语是由动词短语free from “摆脱”变化而来achieve freedom from意思是“摆脱...以获得自由”。

53.[答案]D

[解析]根据上文所述的一个人帮助蝴蝶出茧,弄巧成拙的事情来说明有时挣扎、斗争恰恰就是我们生活中所需要的。 exactly “确切地,恰恰就是”。

54.[答案]C

Good Heart to Lean on

More than I realized,Dad has helped me keep my balance.

When I was growing up,I was embarrassed(尴尬的) to be seen with my father.He was severely disabled and very ? 36 ?,and when we would walk together,his hand on my arm for ? 37 ?,people would stare.I would inwardly feel uncomfortable at the unwanted ? 38 ?.If he ever noticed or was bothered,he never ? 39 ? that he knew.

It was ? 40 ? to coordinate (cooperate) our steps-his hesitant,mine impatient-and because of that,we didn’t ? 41 ? much as we went along.But as we started out,he always said,“You set the ? 42 ?.I will try to follow you.”

Our usual walk was to or from the subway,which was ? 43 ? he got to work.He went to work despite illness and nasty weather.He almost never missed a day,and would ? 44 ? it to the office even if others could not.A matter of ? 45 ?.

He never talked about himself as an object of pity,nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or ? 46 ?.What he looked for ? 47 ? others was a “good heart”,and if he found one,the ? 48 ? was good enough for him.

Now that I am older,I believe that his idea is a proper ? 49 ? by which to judge people,even though I ? 50 ? don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is.? 51 ? I know the times I don’t have one myself.

He has been gone many years now,but I think of him often.I wonder if he ? 52 ? I was unwilling to be seen with him during our ? 53 ?.Now that I am older,I’m sorry that I never told him how sorry I was for my feeling ? 54 ? to be with him in public and how unworthy I felt to be his daughter.I think of him when I complain about trifles (something unimportant),when I am envious of another’s good fortune,and when I don’t possess a “good heart”.

At such times I put my hand on his arm to ? 55 ? my balance,and say,“You set the pace.I will try to follow you.”

文章大意:本文讲述女儿和其残疾爸爸在身体和心理上如何互相保持平衡的故事。做题时,不能只看文字表面而就题论题,很多小题需要充分理解文章内涵,进行深层理解才能做对。

36.[答案]C

[解析]前面和本空相并列的词是disabled,故用short使之为同一范畴的词,而其他三个选项的词属于另一范畴。

很难一致。

41.[答案]C

[解析]本身就不愿意和爸爸一起走,故也就没有什么共同语言。

42.[答案]D

[解析]由文章最后两句“You set the pace.I will try to follow you.”可知。

43.[答案]A

[解析]从文中可知爸爸在地铁那儿上班,用how表示爸爸如何去上班的。

44.[答案]B

[解析]make it是常用短语,意为“达到预定目标,及时抵达,走完路程,(病痛等)好转”。

45.[答案]D

[解析]本空不容易选对。要做对本题必须充分理解爸爸的心情:作为一个残疾人,更有自己的自尊心,他努力和命运抗争,这一点从下一段也可看出。所以他要在自己力所能及的地方尽量做得出色,甚至要超过常人。

46.[答案]C

[解析]爸爸虽然残疾(disabled),但他并不嫉妒身体健康的幸运儿。用able 和disabled相对。

47.[答案]B

[解析]爸爸不羡慕常人的健康身躯,他寻求的是好心肠。What he looked for是名词性从句作主语;in others (在别人身上) 作状语。

清楚什么是“好心”,尽管我自己现在还缺乏这种“好心”。此处和上文是转折关系。

52.[答案]A

[解析]sense意为“觉察到”,而recognize的意思是“认识”,另外两项语意上讲不通。

53.[答案]A

[解析]从上文可知,爸爸在世的时候作者心里不愿意和他一起走。

54.[答案]C

[解析]作者表达自己以前没有告诉她爸爸自己不愿在公共场所和他在一起的惭愧心情。

55.[答案]D

[解析]本题需要深层理解。纵观全文,特别是文章的题目和第一段不难看出,爸爸的不平衡只是身体上的,而我原来虽然身体平衡但心灵上却不平衡。现在长大了,通过自己的领悟,我重新获得了平衡。

One possible version::

Good afternoon, everyone! The topic of my speech today is “Do trust us-a generation born in the 90s”. Living in an environment full of fiercer competition, we, a generation born in the 90s, are faced fashion blindly, which will in turn ruin our values and future. However, we, a generation born in the 90s, have our own advantages despite some weaknesses. Firstly, we have the courage to meet challenges and take risks, which helps realize our dreams. In addition, we are quick-minded and creative. We can do our work more efficiently. Yet, we still need to learn more from those experienced. Please do trust us! Thank you for your listening!

faithfully,
