They have been told for thousands of years, and their wisdom still helps us today. Here are three fables and what we can learn from them. The Crow and the Pitcher A thirsty crow found a pitcher with a little water at the bottom. But the pitcher was too tall, and the crow’s beak couldn’t reach the water. Instead of giving up, the crow dropped small stones into the pitcher one by one. As the stones filled the pitcher, the water level rose. Finally, the crow could drink the water. Lesson: When faced with a problem, think creatively and take small steps to solve it. Don’t give up just because the solution isn’t obvious right away. The Boy Who Cried Wolf A shepherd boy was bored while watching his sheep on the hill. To have some fun, he shouted, “Wolf! Wolf!” The villagers rushed up the hill to help, but there was no wolf. The boy laughed at them. He did this again a few days later, and again the villagers came. Then one day, a real wolf appeared. The boy shouted for help, but this time, no one believed him. The wolf ate all the sheep. Lesson: If you lie to others too often, they will stop trusting you when you really need their help. Honesty builds trust. The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs A farmer and his wife were lucky to have a goose that laid one golden egg every morning. They sold the golden eggs and lived a comfortable life. But the farmer became impatient. He wanted all the golden eggs at once. He thought, “If I cut open the goose, I can take all the golden eggs inside.” But when he cut the goose open, he found nothing—just a normal goose like any other. They lost their golden eggs forever. Lesson: Being too greedy can make you lose what you already have. Be grateful and patient. （）51.How did the crow get water from the tall pitcher? A. It broke the pitcher with a stone. B. It dropped stones into the pitcher to raise the water level. C. It found a way to climb into the pitcher. D.

Because they thought the boy was lying again. D. Because they couldn’t hear him clearly. （）53.What happened to the goose after the farmer cut it open? A. It turned into a normal goose. B. It laid even more golden eggs. C. It healed and continued laying golden eggs. D. The farmer found all the golden eggs inside it. （）54.Which of the following is TRUE about the three fables? A. The crow gave up when it couldn’t reach the water. B. The villagers believed the boy every time he shouted. C. The farmer and his wife became rich by selling golden eggs. D. The farmer cut open the goose and found many golden eggs. （）55.What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To tell interesting animal stories. B. To teach lessons through short fables. C. To describe different types of birds. D. To explain how to raise geese. B My Grandmother’s Stories When I was a little girl, my grandmother was the best storyteller in the world. Every evening after dinner, she would sit with me by the fireplace and begin with her famous words: “Once upon a time, in a land far, far away...” I still remember her story about the bamboo cutter. A kind old bamboo cutter found a tiny baby girl inside a shining bamboo stalk. He and his wife raised her as their own daughter. The girl grew up to be the most beautiful woman in the land, and many princes came to ask for her hand. But she refused all of them. One day, she looked up at the full moon and told her parents the truth: she was actually a princess from the moon, and soon she would have to go back. Before she left, she gave her parents a special potion that could make them live forever. Then she rose into the sky and disappeared into the bright moonlight. Grandma’s eyes always sparkled with tears when she finished this story. “You see,” she would say, “true love sometimes means letting go.” Another story she loved to tell was about a poor fisherman who saved a turtle. One day, he found a turtle trapped in a fishing net. He freed it and let it go back into the sea. That night, the turtle returned and took him to an undersea palace. There, the fisherman met the Dragon King’s daughter, and they fell in love. The princess gave him two boxes—one small, one large—and told him to choose one. The fisherman was not greedy; he chose the small box. Inside, he found a magic jewel that brought him wealth and happiness all his life. From these stories, I learned to be kind to all living creatures. I also learned that being greedy never ends well. Grandma passed away three years ago, but her stories still live inside me. Sometimes, when I can’t sleep, I whisper to myself, “Once upon a time, in a land far, far away...” （）56.Where did the old bamboo cutter find the baby girl? A. In a box. B. In a bamboo stalk. C. In the sea. D. In a castle. （）57.What was the truth about the girl in the bamboo cutter story? A. She was a witch. B. She was a princess from the moon. C. She was the daughter of a prince. D. She was a magical creature from the forest. （）58.Why did the fisherman get the small box from the turtle’s palace? A. Because the turtle told him to take the small one. B. Because he was not greedy. C. Because the large box was too heavy. D. Because he only needed a small box. （）59.What lesson did the writer learn from her grandmother’s stories? A. To be brave and strong. B. To be kind and not greedy. C. To always follow your dreams. D. To never trust strangers. （）60.What does the writer do when she can’t sleep at night? A. She reads a book. B. She calls her grandmother. C. She tells herself stories. D. She writes down her thoughts. C Story Mapping: The Little Red Riding Hood Story Element Information Title Little Red Riding Hood Beginning (Where and when?)

It’s called “The Hare and the Tortoise.” The story started on a hot, sunny day. A hare laughed at a tortoise for being so slow. The tortoise said, “I’m not slow. Let’s have a race!” The hare agreed immediately. During the race, the hare ran ahead very fast, leaving the tortoise far behind. The hare thought he would certainly win, so he decided to take a nap under a big tree. While the hare slept, the tortoise kept moving forward slowly but steadily. When the hare woke up, he found the tortoise had already reached the finish line and won. The hare felt very ashamed. The story teaches us that it’s important to keep moving forward, even if we are slow. What’s more important than speed is persistence. From the tortoise, I learned that winning isn’t always about being the fastest—it’s about not giving up. 参考答案 一、听力理解 1-5. CBDAE 6.B 7. A 8. A 9. B 10. B 11. B 12. B 13. B 14. C 15.

He met an old man who told him, “If you had read the nature guidebook I gave you last month, you would know how to find your way by looking at the stars.” Tom felt very sorry.

We should never stop learning.
