He needed to be both brave and wise because the times in which he lived were wild and rude. The King of England was at war with him and had led a great army into Scotland to drive him out of the land. Battle (战役) after battle had been fought. Six times Bruce had led his brave little army against his foes and six times his men had been beaten. At last, he was forced to hide in the woods and in lonely places among the mountains. One rainy day, Bruce lay on the ground listening to the beating of the drops on the roof above him. He was tired and unhappy. He was ready to give up all hope. It seemed to him that there was no use for him to try to do anything more. As he lay thinking, he saw a spider over his head making ready to weave (织) her web. He watched her as she worked slowly and with great care. Six times she tried to throw her lines from one beam (房梁) to another, and six times it fell short. “Poor thing,” said Bruce: “you, too, know what it is to fail.” But the spider did not lose hope with the sixth failure. With still more care, she made ready to try for the seventh time. Bruce almost forgot his own troubles as he watched her swinging (摆动) herself out upon the thin line. Would she fail again? No! The line was carried safely to the beam and stuck there. “I, too, will try a seventh time!” cried Bruce. He rose and called his men together. He told them of his plans and sent them out with messages of cheer to his people. Soon there was an army of brave Scotchmen around him. Another battle was fought, and the King of England retreated (撤退) to his own country. After that day, no one by the name of Bruce would ever hurt a spider. The lesson which the little creature had taught the king was never forgotten. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 6. King Robert Bruce had to be both brave and wise because ________.

C ①Is the world short of sand? That might sound like a strange question. After all, sand covers beaches and deserts across the world. ②One problem is that sand is used heavily. In the building field alone, more than 40 billion tons of sand is used around the world every year. This is mainly because about 30% of the concrete (混凝土) is made up of sand. Besides, many of us don’t realize that sand is also used for things like smartphones, TV screens and other electric objects. ③Another problem is that most desert or beach sand can not be used. Desert sand is too smooth and beach sand has too much salt in it. This means that sand used for building is usually got from rivers. Therefore, it has caused terrible environmental problems. So many countries have stopped the use of sand in recent years. ④To cut the need for sand, a growing number of researchers are turning to technology and new ways. One of them is Dr. John Orr at Cambridge University (剑桥大学). “We find that the plastic can replace 10% of the sand in concrete and the concrete can still have the similar strength (强度),” says Dr. John Orr. That can save lots of sand and help to cut down the plastic waste. At the same time, other research is being done into using more objects to replace sand. ⑤To save the sand, everyone should play a part in cutting down the need for sand besides the researchers. For example, we can avoid buying cars so that fewer houses with a garage need to be built. It can save millions of tons of concrete every year. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 11. How does the writer lead into the topic? A. By telling a joke. B. By making a survey. C. By asking a question. D. By using an old saying. 12. Where can we get the sand for building a house? A. From beaches. B. From rivers. C. From deserts. D. From seas. 13. What do we know from Paragraph 4? A. People can have fewer houses with garages to save the sand. B. Plastic and sand are similar to each other in many ways. C. More and more researchers are interested in plastic waste. D. Using plastic to make concrete can protect the environment. 14. What's the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①②/③④/⑤ C. ①/②③/④⑤ D. ①②/③/④⑤ 15 In which unit of a textbook can the text be found? A. Unit 1 The value of time B. Unit 2 The world of nature C. Unit 3 The history of China D. Unit 4 The importance of friendship D We all experience challenges, big and small, like feeling nervous on our first day of school, feeling discouraged after getting a bad grade, or feeling sad after having an argument with a friend. ____16____ Studies have shown that using self-compassion (自我关怀) helps us manage these challenging situations better.
