After some time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colorful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away.

VII. 任务型阅读: 阅读下面短文, 根据短文内容, 完成下列各题。(共5小题, 计10分)
When it comes to making friends, humans often look for people with similar interests or personalities (性格). According to a recent study, so do flamingos (火烈鸟). Flamingos friendship is special and it can last for years.
Dr. Paul Rose, a scientist has already noticed that flamingos seem to form groups. He teamed up with Fionnuala McCully, an animal behavior scientist, to find out why they make friends with some flamingos but not others. They studied both Chilean and Caribbean flamingos living in a nature reserve in Gloucestershire, England.
Each bird wore a ring around one leg with a special code (编码) so that the scientists could tell them apart. McCully spent months studying their behavior and recording their personalities. She found that aggressive (好斗的) flamingos intimidate (恐吓) others in their friendship groups, while the quieter birds do not. Birds with similar personalities nearly always stay together. McCully and Rose found that for the Caribbean birds, personality seemed to matter more in friendships than it did for Chilean flamingos. They found this surprising because the two kinds of flamingos are very similar in many ways.
The scientists said that it’s important to keep flamingos in a large group so that all personality types are included and each flamingo has the chance to find a like-minded friend. “If humans require friendships to be happy, is it really so surprising to think that flamingos might need the same?” McCully and Rose said.

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Peter,
Last month I got a chance to watch a play of Qin Opera. It interested me greatly.
In my mind, Qin Opera is kind of rough and heavy itself. And it has a nice and special tone to sing and act. Because it has a long history, it is loved by quite a lot of the local people in the northwest. Qin Opera can not only spread the Chinese traditional culture, but also show the clear personalities of the north-westerners completely.
I plan to learn Qin Opera in my free time because I want to know more about it. I also hope to perform it one day and share it with more people.
What’s your advice about it?
Yours,
Li Hua

Nature is amazing! Take a close look at the world of insects (昆虫), and you’ll discover many unbelievable things. Consider butterflies, for example. They have beautiful, colorful wings and strong, fantastic flying skills. On summer days, you always see them flying freely over flower gardens and wild fields.
But do you know how butterflies become the flying insects? It’s one of the amazing wonders of nature. In the beginning, women butterflies lay a small and colorful egg on a leaf of a plant.
It’s hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It becomes a walking insect. This insect is called caterpillar (幼虫). It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life has begun. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see. But it is still not a butterfly.
Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. It covers itself in the nice protective blanket (保护层) and goes to sleep. This stage is known as the “pupa (蛹) stage”.
After some time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colorful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away.
After a few weeks, this adult butterfly lays her eggs, and the cycle begins all over again. This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look around the natural world, and you will learn many truly amazing things.
24. What do butterflies look like?
A. They have no legs and cannot fly.
B. They have no eyes and cannot see.
C. They have small bodies and weak wings.

25. What happens during the “pupa stage”?

B. The caterpillar makes a cover and goes to sleep.
C. The butterfly lays eggs on a leaf.
D. The butterfly spreads its wings and flies away.
26. What is the correct order of a butterfly’s life cycle?
A. Egg→Caterpillar→Pupa→Adult butterfly. B. Caterpillar→Egg→Pupa→Adult butterfly.
C. Pupa→Caterpillar→Egg→Adult butterfly. D. Adult butterfly→Pupa→Caterpillar→Egg.

A. 亡羊补牢 B. 居安思危 C. 闻鸡起舞 D. 破茧成蝶
C
When people graduate from high school or college, they usually think their education is complete. But it’s important to continue learning after finishing school. And it will benefit you sooner or later.
As for one, learning can be fun. It can give you something interesting to talk about. And it is good for your brain. Just as exercise makes your body stronger, your mind becomes better when you use it.
Being a lifelong learner can also help you with your work or job. Knowledge in other areas can help you develop creative ideas in your present job.
So how do you become a lifelong learner? First, you need to keep on learning new things even when it isn’t easy. It may help if you find friends who will encourage your learning.

Last, find ways to use what you learn. It can help you remember things. If you want to learn how to fix appliances (家用电器), try fixing some at home. If you’re learning a foreign language, find someone who speaks that language to talk to. If you’re learning facts about science, explain what, you’re learning to someone else. Then you can help that person be a lifelong learner, too!
28. What does the underlined word “benefit” mean in the passage?
