Her first communication with hearing-impaired people was with her neighbor, Mrs. Wang. One day, when Liu was playing in her house, Wang used sign language (手语) to communicate with her. But Liu couldn’t understand. Wang’s husband told Liu that Mrs. Wang wanted to make her a scarf. “I was moved by her kindness, and thought it would be great if she could speak,” Liu said, “so I decided to become a teacher for hearing-impaired students.” At first, Liu almost gave up because of difficulties. She then thought about her neighbor and the pain on her face when she could not make people understand what she was trying to say. That made Liu stick to her dream of being a “special education” teacher and she succeeded. Although she was only 18 at that time, she regarded the students as her children. Every day, she spent much time teaching them to speak. One of her students, Jiang Yan, said Liu would show over 100 times how to speak just one word. She also taught the students how to wash their face and clothes, and clip their nails (剪指甲). Liu Lingli put lots of efforts to help them live better, too. With her help and encouragement, another student Liu Hanxiang could communicate normally with others. Liu Hanxiang learned dancing and is a member of an art group now. Thanks to Liu’s devotion (奉献), more than 20 students have received higher education. “Whenever they tried to say ‘mom’ or ‘dad’ for the first time, I felt it was the sweetest sound in the world,” Liu Lingli said. 1．Why did Liu Lingli decide to become a teacher of “special education”?

He was born in 1945 in wartime China. He grew up very poor in Hangzhou and often went hungry. His father was out of work, and his mother supported the family of five children as a factory worker. “Because of the hardship, as a child I had many dreams and hoped to make big money for my parents in return,” Zong said in a history book. As the eldest child, Zong left school after junior high to support his family and spent over ten years doing different jobs, including hard physical work at a far-away farm. In 1978, Zong returned to Hangzhou and spent the next ten years working as a salesman. “My only dream at that time was to have my own company and do what I wanted to do, and I had been looking for such a chance,” he said in the history book. The chance finally came in 1987. Zong borrowed 140,000 yuan to start his own company, selling ice pops (冰棒) and stationery (文具) to students at a nearby primary school. The company, which would later become Wahaha, sold ice pops for a cent each. During his door-to-door sales, Zong learned that many children were picky eaters so that they can’t get all the necessary nutrition (营养). That was a big headache for parents. Seeing a potential chance, Zong worked with a professor of nutrition to invent a vitamin drink for children called Wahaha Oral Liquid. The product became a huge success soon. The company achieved nearly 100 million yuan in sales in the third year after it went on the market. That year, Zong founded the Hangzhou WaHaha Group after buying a failing food factory. 26．How many people were there in Zong’s family? A．Three. B．Five. C．Seven.

That was a big headache for parents.”可知，因为挑食，孩子们无法获得所需的营养，对此家长们非常头疼，由此可猜测picky意为“挑剔的”。故选B。 28．推理判断题。根据“During his door-to-door sales, Zong learned that many children were picky eaters so that they can’t get all the necessary nutrition.”和“Seeing a potential chance, Zong worked with a professor of nutrition to invent a vitamin drink for children called Wahaha Oral Liquid”可知，宗庆后和营养学家研发出的这款产品是为挑食的孩子准备的，也取得了巨大的成功，说明娃哈哈口服液可以为孩子提供必要的营养。故选D。 29．细节理解题。根据“Because of the hardship, as a child I had many dreams and hoped to make big money for my parents in return,”可知，宗庆后最开始希望赚大钱来回报父母；根据“As the eldest child, Zong left school after junior high to support his family and spent over ten years doing different jobs, including hard physical work at a far-away farm.”可知，随后宗庆后做了许多种工作；根据“In 1978, Zong returned to Hangzhou and spent the next ten years working as a salesman.”可知，1978年，宗庆后回到杭州做销售；根据“The chance finally came in 1987.

All that was holding them back from escaping the camp, was a small piece of rope tied to one of their legs. As the man looked at the elephants, he couldn’t understand it. Why didn’t the elephants just use their strength (力量) to break the rope and escape? They could easily have done so, but instead, they didn’t try to at all. Wanting to know the answer, he asked a trainer nearby why the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape. “When they were very young and much smaller we used the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it was enough to hold them. As they grew up, they still believed they couldn’t break away. They believed the rope could still hold them, so they never tried to break free.” The trainer answered. The man was speechless. These animals could have broken free whenever they wanted, but it was just because over time, they had the belief that it just wasn’t possible. How many of us go through life like the elephants—holding onto the belief that we cannot do some-thing simply because we failed at it once or twice or sometimes before? Failure is part of learning. If we failed once or a few times, it doesn’t mean we can never succeed. We should never give up trying when we experience failures in life. 36．What did the man discover in the elephant camp? A．The elephants were kept in cages. B．The elephants were tied down by small ropes. C．The elephants were tied down by chains. D．The elephants were small and weak. 37．How did the man feel when he discovered the problem? A．Angry. B．Sad. C．Nervous. D．Surprised. 38．Why didn’t the elephants try to escape? A．Because there was no need to escape. B．Because they were afraid of the trainers. C．Because they didn’t believe they could break free. D．Because the ropes were too hard to break. 39．What does the author think of failure? A．It means we can’t do something successfully. B．It’s possible to give up before a few failures. C．It’s necessary to learn from failures in life. D．It’s OK to give up when facing some failures. 40．What can we learn from the story? A．Be brave to question the old opinions. B．Challenge yourself even if you’re weak. C．Try to live the easiest life you can. D．Get used to some healthy living habits. 【答案】36．B 37．D 38．C 39．C 40．A 【导语】本文通过讲述栓大象的绳子来告诉我们，面对失败，不要放弃，要坚持斗争；失败是生活中的一部分，应该不要放弃挣扎。 36．细节理解题。根据“A man was walking through an elephant camp and found that the elephants weren’t being kept in cages or held by chains. All that was holding them back from escaping the camp, was a small piece of rope tied to one of their legs.”可知，男人看到大象并没有被关在笼子里或用铁链拴着，而是用很小的绳子拴着。故选B。 37．推理判断题。根据“As the man looked at the elephants, he couldn’t understand it. Why didn’t the elephants just use their strength (力量) to break the rope and escape?”可知，大象被一根细绳拴着却没有逃跑，这让男人不解；由此推知男人看到问题后感到惊讶。故选D。 38．细节理解题。根据“As they grew up, they still believed they couldn’t break away.

I used to be one of them. But now my opinion of beauty has completely changed. I was with my parents and my little brothers at the McDonald’s. Since there are only tables with four chairs, I’m always the one to sit at a nearby table by myself. Usually, I’m a little unhappy, but not this time. A woman was sitting at a table, two tables away. She was young and pretty, not the traditional beauty, but a warm one. She had thick dark-brown hair and wore common clothes, but none of those was why she was so beautiful to me. Her children spread the ice-cream all over their clothes, and she just kissed them and that’s all. She didn’t get angry. The love and warmth this woman generated completely changed my view of beauty. She generated warmth like the sun, and her children were little planets around her. She made a difference to her children’s lives. Instead of making them feel bad about themselves, she made them feel great about everything. That is true beauty: to make a positive difference to others’ life through warmth and caring. 46．How many people were there in the writer’s family? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 47．Why was the mother beautiful to the writer? A．Because she was young and friendly. B．Because she was a traditional beauty. C．Because she showed great love and warmth.

He was confused (困惑的), so he went up to his mother and asked, “Why do I carry a hard and heavy shell?” His mother said, “Because we don’t have bones to hold us up.

Why can she live without a shell?” The mother snail answered, “That’s because a caterpillar will become a butterfly. She can fly high into the sky. The sky can protect her.” The baby snail had one more question, “But the earthworm (蚯蚓) moves like us. He has no bones and he won’t turn into a butterfly. Why doesn’t he carry a hard and heavy shell?” His mother said, “He can dig a hole and hide in the ground, and then the earth can protect him.” The baby snail then cried, “We are so poor!

His father was out of work, and his mother supported the family of five children as a factory worker. “Because of the hardship, as a child I had many dreams and hoped to make big money for my parents in return,” Zong said in a history book. As the eldest child, Zong left school after junior high to support his family and spent over ten years doing different jobs, including hard physical work at a far-away farm.

They asked, “How did you run away from the dog running after you? It’s unbelievable!” The scared rabbit answered, “The dog would only be blamed for not catching me at most, so all it did was to do its best. The situation is completely different for me.

All that was holding them back from escaping the camp, was a small piece of rope tied to one of their legs. As the man looked at the elephants, he couldn’t understand it. Why didn’t the elephants just use their strength (力量) to break the rope and escape? They could easily have done so, but instead, they didn’t try to at all. Wanting to know the answer, he asked a trainer nearby why the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape. “When they were very young and much smaller we used the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it was enough to hold them. As they grew up, they still believed they couldn’t break away. They believed the rope could still hold them, so they never tried to break free.” The trainer answered. The man was speechless. These animals could have broken free whenever they wanted, but it was just because over time, they had the belief that it just wasn’t possible. How many of us go through life like the elephants—holding onto the belief that we cannot do some-thing simply because we failed at it once or twice or sometimes before? Failure is part of learning. If we failed once or a few times, it doesn’t mean we can never succeed. We should never give up trying when we experience failures in life. 36．What did the man discover in the elephant camp? A．The elephants were kept in cages. B．The elephants were tied down by small ropes. C．The elephants were tied down by chains. D．The elephants were small and weak. 37．How did the man feel when he discovered the problem? A．Angry. B．Sad. C．Nervous. D．Surprised. 38．Why didn’t the elephants try to escape? A．Because there was no need to escape. B．Because they were afraid of the trainers. C．Because they didn’t believe they could break free. D．Because the ropes were too hard to break. 39．What does the author think of failure? A．It means we can’t do something successfully. B．It’s possible to give up before a few failures. C．It’s necessary to learn from failures in life. D．It’s OK to give up when facing some failures. 40．What can we learn from the story? A．Be brave to question the old opinions. B．Challenge yourself even if you’re weak. C．Try to live the easiest life you can.
