A. a; / B. the; the C. a; the D. a; a 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你觉得电影《哪吒》怎么样？——嗯，我从没看过更感人一部了。它值得再看一次。 考查冠词用法。a不定冠词，表泛指，用于辅音音素开头的单词前； the定冠词，表特指。第一空表示“一部更感人的电影”，此处为泛指，“more moving”是以辅音音素开头的短语，故用不定冠词a；第二空“a second time”为固定短语，表示“再一次、又一次”，强调动作的重复，并非特指第二次，故也用不定冠词a。故选D。 2. When I walked past the park, I saw some old people ______ Chinese Taiji. A. do B. did C. doing D. are doing 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我路过公园的时候, 我看见一些老人正在打太极拳。 考查非谓语动词。根据“see sb. doing sth.”意为看见某人正在做某事，指看到的时候动作正在进行；“see sb. do sth.”意为看见某人做过某事，是看见事情发生的全过程。结合句意可知，因为是走过，所以看见时动作正在进行。故选C。 3. This exam is very difficult. ________, I have passed it. A. Moreover B. Otherwise C. Anyway D. Or 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这次考试很难。不管怎样，我已经通过了。 考查单词辨析。Moreover此外；Otherwise否则；Anyway无论如何；Or或者。根据“This exam is very difficult...I have passed it”可知，虽然考试难，但是不管怎样自己还是通过了。故选C。 4. He likes playing tricks on others, but ______, he is a good boy because he is willing to help others. A. on the way B. in the way C. in some ways D. by the way 【答案】C 【解析】 分析】 【详解】句意：他喜欢和他人开玩笑，在某些方面，他是一个好男孩因为他乐于帮助他人。 此题考查介词短语，A在路上；B挡路；C在某些方面；D顺便问一下。根据句意，应选C。 5. Don’t try to do everything at once. Take it a bit ________. A. at times B. at that time C. all the time D. at a time 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：不要一次做完所有事情，一次做一点。 考查介词短语辨析。at times有时；at that time在那个时候；all the time一直；at a time一次。根据“Don’t try to do everything at once.”可知，建议我们每次做一点，分开去做。故选D。 6. —Let’s turn on the TV and watch the football match. —It’s too late. It _______ for an hour. And the result was 1-0. A. has finished B. has begun C. has been on D. has been over 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——让我们打开电视看足球比赛吧。——太晚了，它都结束一个小时了，结果是1比0。 考查现在完成时。has finished结束了，现在完成时；has begun开始了；has been on一直在进行；has been over已经结束了。句中for an hour表示一段时间，finish和begin都是瞬间性动词，不能和一段时间连用，故排除A和B。根据“It’s too late.”以及后面“And the result was 1-0.”可知，比赛已经结束了。故选D。 7. There ________ a river in front of the house, but now it has turned into farmland. A. used to have B. used to be C. is used to having D. is used to be 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：过去房子前面有条河，但现在它已经变成了农田。 考查there be句型与used短语。根据“but now it has turned into farmland.”与“There”可知，但是现在已经变成了农田，因此前面应表示过去有一条河。used to do意为“过去常常做某事”；be used to doing意为“习惯做某事”；there be句型表示“有”，因此应用used to be。故选B。 8. My uncle his wife for five years, but they still don’t have a child now. A. married with B. has been married with C. married to D. has been married to 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我叔叔和他的妻子结婚五年了，但他们现在还没有孩子。 考查现在完成时。根据句中时间状语for five years可知，所给句子的时态是现在完成时，选项A/C是过去时，排除；marry是及物动词，marry sb.和某人结婚，所以B选项不正确；固定词组：be/get married to sb.：和某人结婚，只有选项D符合语法规则。故选D。 9. —Who is knocking on the door? —It ________ Mr. Smith because he ________ Sydney. A. can’t be; has gone to B. may not be; has been to C. mustn’t be; has gone to D. may be; went to 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——谁在敲门？ ——不可能是史密斯先生，因为他去了悉尼。 考查情态动词和现在完成时。can’t be不可能；may not be可能不；mustn’t be禁止，不允许，may be可能是；have been to曾去过某地现已返回；have gone to已经去了某地尚未返回；went to去，一般过去时。根据“because he ... Sydney.”可知，此处表示史密斯先生去了悉尼还未回来，因此不可能是他在敲门。故选A。 10. ________ exciting experience we had in Hong Kong Disneyland! A What an B. What C. How D. How an 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们在香港迪士尼乐园的经历是多么令人兴奋啊！ 考查感叹句。感叹句的中心词“experience”是可数名词单数，exciting以元音音素开头，此处用“What an+形容词+可数名词单数+主谓+其他!”结构。故选A。 11. There are so many wonderful books in the bookstore. I can’t decide ________. A. which I can choose it B. to choose which one C. which one to choose D. to choose one which 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：书店里有这么多好书，我无法决定选哪一本。 考查“疑问词 + 不定式”作宾语。根据“There are so many wonderful books in the bookstore. I can’t decide...”可知，后跟宾语，“疑问词 + 不定式”结构在句中可作宾语，选项C正确。选项B、D语序错误；选项A中，which在从句中作宾语，因此it应删除。故选C。 12. —Your brother’s never been late for work, ________? — ________. He is a hard-working man. A. is he; Yes, he is B. isn’t he; No, he isn’t C. has he; Yes, he has D. has he; No, he hasn’t 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你哥哥上班从未迟到过，是吗？——的，他从未迟到过。他是个工作努力的人。 考查反意疑问句。第一空：根据“Your brother’s never been late for work”可知， “’s” 是 “has” 的缩写，这是一个现在完成时的句子，且 “never” 表示否定，所以反意疑问句要用肯定形式 “has he”。第二空：根据“He is a hard - working man.”可知，他哥哥是个勤奋的人，从不迟到，所以回答应该是 “No, he hasn’t”，表示 “是的，他从不迟到”。故选D。 13. —Daddy, when can I go to the sports centre with my friend? —________. A. Until you finish your homework. B. Until you will finish your homework. C. Not until you finish your homework. D. Not until you will finish your homework. 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——爸爸，我什么时候可以和我的朋友去体育中心？——直到你完成作业。 考查时间状语从句。until表示“直到……”，not until表示“直到……才”，此处是表示“直到你完成作业，你才可以去体育中心”，用not until；until引导时间状语从句，符合“主将从现”的时态规则，until后是从句，用一般现在时。故选C。 14. —How much is the ticket to Central Park? —A one-way ticket __________ $40, and you can __________ another $20 for a round-trip. A. costs; pay B. cost; spend C. pay; spend D. spends; pay 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——去中央公园的票多少钱？——单程票花费40美元，你可以再付20元买一张往返票。 考查动词辨析。cost花费，主语为物，固定搭配为：物+cost+人+钱；spend花费，主语为人，固定搭配为：人+spend+时间/金钱+on sth./（in）doing sth.；pay付款，主语为人，固定搭配为：人+pay+钱+for sth.。第一空主语为“A one ­way ticket”为物，且为单数，用costs；第二空主语为人，且句中有“for”，用pay，故选A。 15. —Excuse me, could you help me take care of my cat while I am away? — ________. I will look after it well. A. I’m afraid not B. With pleasure C. My pleasure D. I hope so 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——打扰一下，当我离开的时候，你能帮我照顾一下我的猫吗？——很愿意。我会好好照顾它的。 考查交际用语的应答。I’m afraid not恐怕不行；With pleasure乐意效劳、很愿意；My pleasure不客气、不用谢；I hope so我希望如此。根据“could you help me take care of my cat while I am away?”以及下文“I will look after it well.”可知，本句是对方提出请求帮忙照顾猫，后面说我会好好照顾它的。“With pleasure”用于别人请求帮忙时，愉快地答应，符合语境。故填B。 三、完形填空(本题共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Andy was throwing an empty box when a woman and her daughter ran over. “You smell ____16____!” Andy said to the woman.

Wheat sprouts (发芽) from the soil. Purple eggplant flowers come out. But you’re not on a farm. You are inside Yuegong-1, a closed lab at Beihang University in Beijing. An important experiment was once carried out in the lab. It is called Yuegong-365. Eight volunteers took turns living by themselves in the closed lab for a year. In January 2018, four volunteers finished spending 200 days in the lab. This set a world record for the longest stay in a self-contained (自给自足的) space, China Daily reported. Then, another four volunteers lived in the lab and the experiment ended in May that year. The experiment could give scientists information that can be used to create better living areas for astronauts in space, Xinhua News Agency reported. Life in Yuegong-1 was busy. Volunteers got up at 6:30 am and went to bed at 11:00 pm. Growing food was their daily activity. There were more than 30 kinds of vegetables and fruits for them to grow and eat. They even ate worms (虫子) as a source of protein (蛋白质). They also recorded their body temperature, blood pressure and mental state every day. Scientists outside the lab used these data to monitor (监控) their health. Was living in the lab boring? With internet, volunteers could still go online to read the news or watch TV shows. They also read books, wrote and even rode bikes. “There’s no time to be bored,” volunteer Hu Jingfei said. 34. What we can not see in Yuegong-1? A. Cucumbers hanging on vines. B. A real farm. C. Wheat sprouts from the soil. D. Purple eggplant flowers come out. 35. What can’t volunteers do in Yuegong-1? A. Grow vegetables and fruit in their daily life. B. Eat worms as a source of protein. C. Use the recorded data to monitor their health by themselves. D. Go online to read the news and watch TV shows. 36. What can we know from the passage? A. In January 2018, eight volunteers finished spending 200 days in the lab. B. This experiment will be helpful to create better living areas for astronauts in space. C. Volunteers slept less than six hours every day when living in the lab. D. Volunteers felt bored in the lab from time to time. 37. Which part of the newspaper may this passage be taken from? A. Travel & Geography. B. Sports & Games. C. Culture & Nature. D. Science & Technology. 【答案】34. B 35. C 36. B 37. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科技新闻报道，主要介绍了北京航空航天大学的月宫一号实验室进行的月宫365实验。实验中，志愿者们在封闭的实验室中轮流独自生活一年，他们的生活非常忙碌，种植食物是他们的日常活动，他们甚至吃虫子作为蛋白质的来源。他们还记录了每天的体温、血压和精神状态，科学家们利用这些数据来监控他们的健康。尽管在实验室中，志愿者们仍然可以通过互联网阅读新闻或看电视节目，他们还阅读书籍，写作，甚至骑自行车。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“You can see cucumbers hanging on vines (藤蔓). Wheat sprouts (发芽) from the soil. Purple eggplant flowers come out. But you’re not on a farm.”可知，月宫一号实验室里可以看到黄瓜挂在藤蔓上，小麦从土壤中发芽，紫色的茄子花开出来，但这并不是一个真正的农场。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They also recorded their body temperature, blood pressure and mental state every day. Scientists outside the lab used these data to monitor (监控) their health.”可知，志愿者们每天记录他们的体温、血压和精神状态，实验室外的科学家们利用这些数据来监控他们的健康，而不是志愿者们自己使用记录的数据来监控他们的健康。故选C。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The experiment could give scientists information that can be used to create better living areas for astronauts in space, Xinhua News Agency reported.”可知，这个实验可以为科学家们提供信息，用于为宇航员在太空中创造更好的生活区域。故选B。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，这是一篇关于科技实验的报道，所以这篇文章可能来自于报纸的Science & Technology版块。故选D。 C “Is there anything you want from Grandma’s apartment?” My uncle, texting me, last week. His mum had passed away the week before, aged 96. He’d begun the painful yet necessary task of dividing her things: keep, sell, donate. I answered without thinking. “Yes, I would like her aloe (芦荟) in the orange pot, please.” Sometime around 1975, Grandma received this plant from a local cook as a gift. It could, I suppose, just be anything like a calendar, or a pen, or a box of biscuits. But it just happened to be a plant, which Grandma, who always had green fingers, appreciated and placed in her doorway. Five years later, my mum married the cook’s son. And had me. When my father’s mother died in 1993, Grandma told me how this plant was different from the other ones she had in her home. It helped to keep a good relationship between the two sides of the family. In recent years, whenever we visited Grandma’s apartment, I would show it to my children. “Look at this, it was a gift your great-grandma bought for your other great-grandma! Before they became relatives!” Many times, Grandma gave me cuttings of this plant, in the hope that I might grow another. Yet, every time, I failed to take care of my offshoots (分支). Aloe is hardy (适应力强). However, if you over-water or under-water it, it dies. It doesn’t mix well with dogs or under-heated flooring. In short, with my skills, I’m better off with a plastic one from a supermarket. But that didn’t use to matter, because I could ask Grandma for another cutting and try again Now I can’t. So straight after I asked my uncle for this plant, I came up with the idea: the plant will go and live with Ann, my wife’s mother, who can grow plants well and keep hold of Grandma’s aloe---at least until I can be trusted to look after its offshoots. Then maybe one day I can confidently place the mother plant in my own home. At the same time, Ann will spread cuttings among her family members, as Grandma used to do. 38. Why did the author ask his uncle for the aloe? A. It was very valuable to him. B. He wanted to place it in his own home. C. He wanted to pass it on to his children. D. He wanted to give it as a gift to his wife’s mother 39. The underlined phrase “always had green fingers” in paragraph 4 means ________. A. always failed in growing plants B. always made fingers green C. was always good at growing plants D. was a special gardener 40. According to the passage, this plant ________. A. can grow well with dogs in the house B. may die if it is watered too often C. is easy to take care of D. won’t die if the floor is too cold 41. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A. The writer’s parents might get married around 1980. B. The aloe was placed in Grandma’s doorway before the writer’s birth C. The writer planned to leave Grandma’s aloe to Ann forever. D Ann can be trusted to look after the aloe well. 42. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Remembering Grandma B. Passing Down Planting Skills C. Caring for an Aloe D. Planting Memories 【答案】38. A 39. C 40. B 41. C 42. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了奶奶生前种植的植物芦荟，承载着一家人很多的回忆。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In recent years, whenever we visited Grandma’s apartment, I would show it to my children.”以及“So straight after I asked my uncle for this plant…at least until I can be trusted to look after its offshoots.”可知，因为这株芦荟对作者来说很宝贵。故选A。 【39题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“But it just happened to be a plant, which Grandma, who always had green fingers, appreciated and placed in her doorway.”可知前文提到了这恰好是株植物，后文又提到了奶奶很欣赏这株植物，结合语境判断划线词是“擅长种植物”。故选C。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据“However, if you over-water or under-water it, it dies.”可知，这株植物如果浇水过多会死掉。故选B。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据“So straight after I asked my uncle for this plant…who can grow plants well and keep hold of Grandma’s aloe以及”“Then maybe one day I can confidently place the mother plant in my own home.”可知，作者并没有一直打算让Ann来照顾这株植物。故选C。 【42题详解】 标题归纳题。通读全文，本文介绍了奶奶生前种植植物芦荟，承载着一家人很多的回忆，因此选项D适合为最佳标题。故选D。 D After breakfast Martha went to visit her mother for the day. Mary felt lonely in the house without her so she went outside into the bright sunshine. She ran round and round the fountain and soon she started to feel better. Ben Weatherstaff was in the vegetable garden. He didn’t look cross that day so she went to speak to him. “The spring’s coming,” he said to her. “Can you see those green points in the earth?” Mary looked. “What are they?” she asked. “They’re spring flowers.” Then the robin appeared and sat on the ground near them. “Is spring coming in the secret garden, too?” Mary asked Ben. “Ask the robin,” said Ben, “He’s the only one who knows.” And he went back to work. The robin was hopping around on the ground. Mary was watching him when she saw something in the earth. She picked it up. It was an old key. Mary looked at the key for a long time. Then she put it in her pocket and walked back to her room. The next morning Martha was there as usual. She told Mary about her day at her mother’s house. She brought a skipping rope as a present to Mary. Mary was not good at skipping at first. But she tried and tried and soon she didn’t want to stop. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. Mary skipped and counted and counted and skipped around the big garden. She decided to skip along her favourite path outside the walled gardens. It was very long and she had to stop before she arrived at the end of it because she was tired. Then she saw the robin sitting on a long branch of the ivy on the wall. He chirped. Mary went up to him. “You showed me the key yesterday,” she said. “Can you show me the door today?” The robin flew to the top of the wall. Suddenly the wind blew the long branch of ivy to one side. Mary held it in her hand because she could see something under it ---- a door! Mary took the old key out of her pocket and put it in the lock of the door. It worked. She was inside the secret garden!

B 【解析】 【分析】这篇短文主要摘自《秘密花园》的故事中的一页。 【43题详解】 推理判断。根据文中“The spring’s coming,” he said to her. “Can you see those green points in the earth?”可知，这里是发生在冬天。故选D。 【44题详解】 细节理解。根据文中Ben Weatherstaff was in the vegetable garden.

He was confused, so he went up to his mother and asked, “Why was I born with a shell that grew so hard and heavy?” His mother said, “Because we don’t have bones to hold us up. We can only move slowly, so we need a shell to protect us.” The baby snail asked again, “The caterpillar has no bones, either, and she can’t move quickly. 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 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! We have no protection from the sky or from the ground!” His mother smiled at him, “That’s why we have a shell. My dear, imagine that if we don’t have the shells, what will happen to us? Hot sun will dry out our bodies and we’ll have nowhere to sleep. What’s more, we’ll die in the heavy rain. How terrible it is! We don’t depend on the sky or the ground for protection. We should depend on ourselves.” 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 57. Why were snails born with shells? ________________ 58. How did the baby snail like his shell? ________________ 59. What will the caterpillar become when she grows up? ________________ 60. Where can an earthworm hide? ________________ 61. What does the story want to tell us? ________________ 【答案】57.

Wheat sprouts (发芽) from the soil. Purple eggplant flowers come out. But you’re not on a farm. You are inside Yuegong-1, a closed lab at Beihang University in Beijing. An important experiment was once carried out in the lab. It is called Yuegong-365. Eight volunteers took turns living by themselves in the closed lab for a year. In January 2018, four volunteers finished spending 200 days in the lab. This set a world record for the longest stay in a self-contained (自给自足的) space, China Daily reported. Then, another four volunteers lived in the lab and the experiment ended in May that year. The experiment could give scientists information that can be used to create better living areas for astronauts in space, Xinhua News Agency reported. Life in Yuegong-1 was busy. Volunteers got up at 6:30 am and went to bed at 11:00 pm. Growing food was their daily activity. There were more than 30 kinds of vegetables and fruits for them to grow and eat. They even ate worms (虫子) as a source of protein (蛋白质). They also recorded their body temperature, blood pressure and mental state every day. Scientists outside the lab used these data to monitor (监控) their health. Was living in the lab boring? With internet, volunteers could still go online to read the news or watch TV shows. They also read books, wrote and even rode bikes. “There’s no time to be bored,” volunteer Hu Jingfei said. 34. What we can not see in Yuegong-1? A. Cucumbers hanging on vines. B. A real farm. C. Wheat sprouts from the soil. D. Purple eggplant flowers come out. 35. What can’t volunteers do in Yuegong-1? A. Grow vegetables and fruit in their daily life. B. Eat worms as a source of protein. C. Use the recorded data to monitor their health by themselves. D. Go online to read the news and watch TV shows. 36. What can we know from the passage? A. In January 2018, eight volunteers finished spending 200 days in the lab. B. This experiment will be helpful to create better living areas for astronauts in space. C. Volunteers slept less than six hours every day when living in the lab. D Volunteers felt bored in the lab from time to time. 37. Which part of the newspaper may this passage be taken from? A. Travel & Geography. B. Sports & Games. C. Culture & Nature. D. Science & Technology. C “Is there anything you want from Grandma’s apartment?” My uncle, texting me, last week. His mum had passed away the week before, aged 96. He’d begun the painful yet necessary task of dividing her things: keep, sell, donate. I answered without thinking. “Yes, I would like her aloe (芦荟) in the orange pot, please.” Sometime around 1975, Grandma received this plant from a local cook as a gift. It could, I suppose, just be anything like a calendar, or a pen, or a box of biscuits. But it just happened to be a plant, which Grandma, who always had green fingers, appreciated and placed in her doorway. Five years later, my mum married the cook’s son. And had me. When my father’s mother died in 1993, Grandma told me how this plant was different from the other ones she had in her home. It helped to keep a good relationship between the two sides of the family. In recent years, whenever we visited Grandma’s apartment, I would show it to my children. “Look at this, it was a gift your great-grandma bought for your other great-grandma! Before they became relatives!” Many times, Grandma gave me cuttings of this plant, in the hope that I might grow another. Yet, every time, I failed to take care of my offshoots (分支). Aloe is hardy (适应力强). However, if you over-water or under-water it, it dies. It doesn’t mix well with dogs or under-heated flooring. In short, with my skills, I’m better off with a plastic one from a supermarket. But that didn’t use to matter, because I could ask Grandma for another cutting and try again Now I can’t. So straight after I asked my uncle for this plant, I came up with the idea: the plant will go and live with Ann, my wife’s mother, who can grow plants well and keep hold of Grandma’s aloe---at least until I can be trusted to look after its offshoots. Then maybe one day I can confidently place the mother plant in my own home. At the same time, Ann will spread cuttings among her family members, as Grandma used to do. 38. Why did the author ask his uncle for the aloe? A. It was very valuable to him. B. He wanted to place it in his own home. C. He wanted to pass it on to his children. D. He wanted to give it as a gift to his wife’s mother 39. The underlined phrase “always had green fingers” in paragraph 4 means ________. A. always failed in growing plants B. always made fingers green C. was always good at growing plants D. was a special gardener 40. According to the passage this plant ________. A. can grow well with dogs in the house B. may die if it is watered too often C. is easy to take care of D. won’t die if the floor is too cold 41. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A. The writer’s parents might get married around 1980. B. The aloe was placed in Grandma’s doorway before the writer’s birth C. The writer planned to leave Grandma’s aloe to Ann forever. D. Ann can be trusted to look after the aloe well. 42. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Remembering Grandma B. Passing Down Planting Skills C. Caring for an Aloe D. Planting Memories D After breakfast Martha went to visit her mother for the day. Mary felt lonely in the house without her so she went outside into the bright sunshine. She ran round and round the fountain and soon she started to feel better. Ben Weatherstaff was in the vegetable garden. He didn’t look cross that day so she went to speak to him. “The spring’s coming,” he said to her. “Can you see those green points in the earth?” Mary looked. “What are they?” she asked. “They’re spring flowers.” Then the robin appeared and sat on the ground near them. “Is spring coming in the secret garden, too?” Mary asked Ben. “Ask the robin,” said Ben, “He’s the only one who knows.” And he went back to work. The robin was hopping around on the ground. Mary was watching him when she saw something in the earth. She picked it up. It was an old key. Mary looked at the key for a long time. Then she put it in her pocket and walked back to her room. The next morning Martha was there as usual. She told Mary about her day at her mother’s house. She brought a skipping rope as a present to Mary. Mary was not good at skipping at first. But she tried and tried and soon she didn’t want to stop. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. Mary skipped and counted and counted and skipped around the big garden. She decided to skip along her favourite path outside the walled gardens. It was very long and she had to stop before she arrived at the end of it because she was tired. Then she saw the robin sitting on a long branch of the ivy on the wall. He chirped. Mary went up to him. “You showed me the key yesterday,” she said. “Can you show me the door today?” The robin flew to the top of the wall. Suddenly the wind blew the long branch of ivy to one side. Mary held it in her hand because she could see something under it ---- a door! Mary took the old key out of her pocket and put it in the lock of the door. It worked. She was inside the secret garden!

He was confused, so he went up to his mother and asked, “Why was I born with a shell that grew so hard and heavy?” His mother said, “Because we don’t have bones to hold us up. We can only move slowly, so we need a shell to protect us.” The baby snail asked again, “The caterpillar has no bones, either, and she can’t move quickly. 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 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! We have no protection from the sky or from the ground!” His mother smiled at him, “That’s why we have a shell. My dear, imagine that if we don’t have the shells, what will happen to us? Hot sun will dry out our bodies and we’ll have nowhere to sleep. What’s more, we’ll die in the heavy rain. How terrible it is! We don’t depend on the sky or the ground for protection. We should depend on ourselves.” 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 57. Why were snails born with shells? ________________ 58. How did the baby snail like his shell? ________________ 59.
