He lived in a dry land. Each morning, the farmer would walk to a nearby well (井) to get water for drinking. After making two buckets (桶) full of water from the well, the farmer would carefully place a bamboo stick over his shoulders (肩膀) to carry them home. One of the buckets had a small hole. All the way home from the well, it would leak (漏出) water along the way. By the time the farmer got home, the leaky bucket would be only half full. This went on for years, and the leaky bucket began feeling sad and sorry. One day it called out to the farmer, “I’m so sorry that I leak! I am making life harder for you.” The farmer only smiled. “Dear bucket,” he said, “Look at this way we are on. Don’t you see many beautiful flowers growing next to it? Those flowers come out only on the side I carry you on when we make our way home. The water you drop has brought beauty into the world. These flowers have given me so much joy on my way to and from the well.” 26．What kind of passage is it? A．A letter. B．A story. C．A play. D．A diary. 27．Why did the leaky bucket feel sad and sorry? A．Because it was too ugly. B．Because it was too broken to carry. C．Because it thought it was making the farmer’s life harder.

She felt sad and lonely. She wanted to be loved very much. One day, when she was walking in a forest, she saw a dragonfly (蜻蜓) caught in a thorn bush (荆棘丛). No matter how hard it tried to free itself, it failed every time. Jenny was very sorry for it. She ran to set it free at once. But to her surprise, the dragonfly didn’t fly away. It changed into a beautiful fairy (仙女) instead. The beautiful fairy said to Jenny, “I must have died without your help. Because of your kindness, you can get whatever you want from me.” Jenny wanted neither gold nor houses. She told the fairy that she wanted to be happy most. The fairy said something in a low voice in her ear. Then she disappeared. From then on, Jenny was happy every day. She was kind to everyone around her. Some people asked her the secret of her happiness. She smiled and said, “The secret of my happiness is that I listened to a good fairy.” When Jenny was very old and dying, all her neighbours stood around her and asked her the secret of happiness. They were afraid that the secret of happiness would die with her. The lovely old lady smiled and said, “The good fairy told me everyone needed me, no matter whether they were young or old, men or women.” 29．Jenny was ________ at the beginning of the story. A．pleased B．sad and joyful C．not happy and lonely D．proud and brave 30．The underlined word “it” refers to ________. A．the forest B．the thorn bush C．the fairy D．the dragonfly 31．We can infer (推断) that the dragonfly didn’t fly away at once because ________. A．it was too tired B．its wings were broken C．it wanted to stay with Jenny D．it wanted to express its thanks to Jenny C Have you ever dreamed of travelling all the way over the rainbow? Well, it’s easier than you think. All you need to do is to book a plane ticket to Rainbow Mountain in Peru (秘鲁). Rainbow Mountain is a beautiful natural wonder. It lies in the Andes in Cusco (库斯科的安第斯山脉). As its name suggests, the mountain has different colours. But why is it in yellow, green, red and purple? The reason is the ice that covered the area centuries ago. When it started to melt(融化), the water mixed with the minerals (矿物质) in the ground and turned the earth into many colours. If you plan your trip to the mountain, try to go during warmer months when there is less rain or snow. Rain or snow makes the climbing more difficult and the colours will look less beautiful. The best time is from March to November, when there are blue skies and pleasant weather. At the same time, visit it in the morning or evening, either right after sunrise or right before sunset. Very sunny days may make you not take nice photos. To get to Rainbow Mountain, you should first travel to Cusco—a province in the south of Peru. Then you can take a drive to Qesoyuno. From there you can start the journey on foot. It takes about a two-or-three hour walk to the top. This is really the best way, but the trip is very difficult. Because the mountain sits at a very high altitude (海拔) about 5,200 metres above sea level, so bring enough water and take your time. 32．How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing a fact. B．By asking a question. C．By telling a story. D．By giving an example. 33．What can we learn about Rainbow Mountain? A．It has seven different colours. B．It’s a man-made wonder. C．It was covered by ice in the past. D．It’s the most famous place of Peru. 34．Which of the following is the best time for a trip to Rainbow Mountain? A．At noon of a cold day in December. B．On the evening of a rainy day in August. C．On the afternoon of a snowy day in January. D．On the morning of a sunny day in September. 35．What’s the passage mainly about? A．The way to get to Rainbow Mountain. B．An introduction to Rainbow Mountain. C．The best time to go to Rainbow Mountain. D．The reason why it’s called Rainbow Mountain. D Isabel was a princess. Most girls would have loved to take her place, but Isabel was unhappy about being a princess. She hated wearing dresses, and she never knew what to do with her ladies-in-waiting (侍女). One day, she was bored and sat by the window in her room. Then she noticed a frog hopping (跳) across the window, and thought of the story of The Frog Prince. Suddenly interested, she opened the window and called to the little frog, “Mr. Frog, come here please!” To her surprise, the frog hopped back to her. “Yes?” asked the frog. “If I kissed you, would you turn into a prince?” asked Isabel. “No, my magic is different. You would be the one changing. You would turn into whatever you were thinking of.” “Great! That’s exactly what I need!” replied the princess. “Yes, but take heed. Many people are not happy with what they change into. Instead, they were much happier with the way they used to be,” reminded the frog. “Oh, don’t worry. I’d like to be just anyone else now.” Isabel couldn’t wait to get close to the frog. However, just as she kissed the frog, she saw a dog running out of the palace. It made Isabel think of her own dog. Before she knew it, Isabel looked down and saw white fur (皮毛) all over her body. What had she done? Seeing this, the frog shook his head, saying, “Why do people always envy (嫉妒) others’ life but look down on their own?” 36．Isabel was unhappy because she ________.

Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. 41 Most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded. 42 Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration (迁徙) is probably the migration of the fish which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. 43 When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In the north of Europe, there is a kind of mice. They leave their mountain homes when their homes become too crowded. 44 Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea. 45 Every year when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean.
