Venus Flytrap The Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant——it eats insects.It grows in wet,poor soil with few good things to eat.Since it cannot get enough nutrition(养分)from such poor conditions,the plant has to get food from insects.Its leaves look like little mouths with tiny hairs.When an insect touches the hairs,the leaf closes in less than a second.Then the plant slowly takes in food from the insect. Mimosa Plant Mimosa plant is also called the shy plant.It looks gentle and lovely with small feather-like leaves.The most interesting thing about the plant is its quick movement. When people touch its leaves, they close at once,and its thin branches(枝条)will hang down too. It does this to stay safe from animals and bad weather.After a few minutes,its leaves open again and get back as before. Bristlecone Pine Bristlecone pine is one of the oldest living plants on Earth. These ancient trees grow in cold and dry high mountains. They grow very slowly and look twisted(扭曲的)and simple.However,they have super strong energy and spirit.Many of them can live for more than 4,000 years.They can stand strong wind,cold weather and dry environment,and live through hundreds of hard seasons. Nature is full of wonders.These three plants show how clever they are to live in the wild.They may look strange,but each has its own special way to survive. 23. Why does the Venus flytrap live on insects? A. It likes to eat small animals B. It can't make food from sunlight C. It wants to grow more quickly D. It can't get enough food from soil 24. What do Venus flytrap and Mimosa have in common? A. They can shut parts fast when touched B. They get away quickly from enemies C. They can live through quite many years D. They grow in cold and high mountains 25. What can we learn from the whole passage? A. Three plants fit environments to survive B. Three plants change shapes to survive C. Three plants live in the same wise way D. Three plants grow in poor conditions B Ethan spent months trapped in a low mood after his art application ended in failure.He stayed alone in his grandmother's old house,seldom speaking to anyone and giving up his paintbrushes. Every corner of the house felt empty and cold,until one rainy afternoon,he noticed a weak ivy vine(常春藤)spreading over a broken windowsill. “You are struggling(挣扎)to hold on,aren't you?”Grandma asked,standing behind him with a warm cup of tea. Ethan looked emptily at the thin vine,its leaves shaking in the cold wind."It looks helpless, just like me.It will die sooner or later." Grandma let out a soft smile."Do not judge(判断)a plant simply by its weak appearance. Looks can be misleading." “What strength could it possibly have?”Ethan sighed,his voice filled with tiredness. “Look closely,” she whispered.“It never rushes to bloom(开花)or grow wildly.It sticks tightly to every tiny gap(缝隙),quietly waiting for its time.” Ethan fell into silence.From that day on,he began to care for the vine.He cleaned dust off its leaves,changed its position to avoid the strong cold wind,and sat beside the window for hours, talking to the vine about his helplessness.He thought he was just keeping the weak plant alive. One cold midnight,a strong rainstorm hit the house.Thunder came loudly and heavy rain beat... The first thing he did the next morning was to check the ivy. To his surprise,instead of breaking down,the vine stuck tighter over the windowsill.Its green leaves shone in the sunlight.fresh and lively. Grandma stood against the door,watching him gently."You thought you were saving this ivy, didn't you?" "Isn't that the truth?"Ethan asked in doubt. A soft smile spread across Grandma's face."In all honesty, it is the ivy that is holding you together. It stays with you and makes you feel warm inside. You give it gentle care,yet it quietly cures your broken heart.Some connections are formed in silence,never spoken but deeply felt." Ethan slowly picked up his dusty paintbrush and began to draw the little vine.He finally understood that true strength never shouts. Sometimes the quietest companions(陪伴)are the ones that hold our broken hearts together through hard times. 26. What can we know about Ethan at the beginning of the story? A. He hated the bad feelings of the old house. B. He was trapped in the endless art applications. C. He refused to accept his grandmother's advice. D.

The ivy quietly lifted Ethan's mood. C. Ethan needed the plant to decorate his room. D. The ivy reminded Ethan to keep working hard. 28. Which of the following words can best describe Grandma? A. Wise and gentle B. Funny and quiet C. Kind and simple D. Modest and strict 29. What is the main idea of the story? A. Failures can never decide a real value. B. Silence is the best way to deal with failures. C. A silent relationship can cheer each other up. D. Plants are much stronger than human beings. C Most people know the ancient skill of joining wood without glue or nails(钉子),but few people know a special silver-making skill in China.It is called silver mortise and tenon(银器榫卯),a special folk skill popular among common workers in southern China,with a history of more than 500 years.The skill connects silver pieces with raised and hollow(凹陷的)parts instead of using glue or fire.Such a smart connection is the biggest advantage of this ancient skill.It gets the idea from the traditional wood-joining skill,showing the amazing creativity of ancient folk workers. Different from common silver jewellery fixed by high temperature,this special skill never uses such ways.After being simply cut,silver pieces can be connected together without any glue.The finished silver products are smooth and steady(稳定的).They will not break easily even after many years of use.This clever design makes the silver works look simple but beautiful. All the making steps are full of challenges. Workers must keep their hands steady and control every size correctly. Every cut needs to be exact, for even a tiny mistake will make the whole silver work fail to fit well.It usually takes several days or even weeks to finish one small silver piece,so great patience is certainly required. In old times,local people liked these silver works because of their steady structure(结构)and simple beauty.People often made them into hand decorations and daily gifts for family members and friends.They were also widely used at important festivals. As modern silver-making ways became popular, this ancient skill gradually disappeared from people's daily life and was almost forgotten by the public. Now some experienced folk workers try their best to protect and pass on this valuable skill. They not only make traditional silver works but also teach young learners patiently. More teenagers have begun to show interest in this treasure.This special skill shows the clever ideas of ancient folk workers.It also carries quiet traditional beauty and reminds people to value the treasure of traditional culture. 30. What is the special point of this silver-making skill? A. It uses sticky glue to join silver pieces. B. It puts parts together without hot fire. C. It is popular among common workers. D. It has a history of five thousand years. 31. Why is it hard to finish this silver work? A. It must be finished in a short time. B. It must be fixed in high temperature. C. It needs steady hands and exact size control. D. It needs plenty of expensive silver materials. 32. What is the best title for the passage? A. A traditional silver-making skill B. A popular traditional silver product C. Different uses of silver in old time D. Different ways to make silver products D Modern life forces almost everyone to live at a fast pace(节奏).We rush to get up,rush to study and even rush to search for pleasure.Fast speed has become a symbol of efficiency(效率),and being slow is often considered a sign of lazinessor backwardness.People stick to strict plans and endless tasks,mistakenly believing that a busier life equals a more meaningful one. However,slowing down does not mean giving up progress,self-improvement or wasting valuable time.Instead,it has become a rare wisdom in this fast-paced and highly competitive world. When we really slow down,we are able to notice those tiny details that are generally overlooked in a hurry:the gentle change of sunlight,the slight movement of leaves and the regular beating of our own hearts. I once got trapped in a really fast life,arranging every single minute with strict plans.I took pride in my high efficiency until I was tired out and filled with stress.Even after achieving my goals(目标),I could not sense any joy they brought me.Only then did I realize I was rushing forward blindly without clear directions.I gained certain achievements,yet lost the ability to truly experience life. Slowing down helps balance our daily life and calm our restless minds. It allows us to think independently rather than blindly follow social trends(趋势).It does not require us to give up our dreams,but reminds us to realize them gently and steadily.A fast pace simply brings short-term excitement, while a slow pace fills life with lasting warmth. Life is never a race to rush through.The true art of life lies in balancing speed and peace. Learning to slow down is not to get away from reality,but to respect life in a sincere and calm way. 33. Why do most people refuse to slow down? A. They have many important tasks. B. They consider slowness worthless. C. They want to get away from stress. D. They enjoy the fast-paced lifestyle. 34. What does the underlined word "overlooked"in paragraph 2 mean? A. carefully recorded B. easily missed C. clearly remembered D. widely shared 35. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. The writer finally gave up his life goal. B. Strict plans gave the writer clear directions. C. The writer regretted making strict daily plans. D. High efficiency failed to bring inner satisfaction. 36. Which of the following will the writer agree with? A. Slow pace leads to long lasting happiness. B. Slow life means giving up dreams. C. It is wise to keep a balanced living pace. D. Busy people live a more valuable life. 四、还原信息(共4小题;每小题1.5分,满分6分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It is common sense that natural stone is heavy and hard,yet easy to break into pieces.It cannot be shaped freely,which limits its use in many fields.However,scientists have invented a special stone material that meets people's needs. The most surprising advantage of this new material is its flexibility(柔韧性).Unlike common hard stone that remains fixed in shape,it can be bent(弯曲)in all directions and made into different shapes freely.Under usual temperatures,people can even roll it up like a thin blanket. _37_ Besides flexibility,the material appears bright and clear in natural light.Most natural stones are thick and solid(固体的),while this special stone looks soft and clear with a smooth inside material. _38_ When used as indoor decoration,it creates a warm and artistic feeling. _39_ It is much lighter than traditional stone and keeps its stable physical properties(材质稳定).Besides,it strongly prevents water and corrosion(腐烂)and requires little care.With many practical advantages,it greatly cuts down the costs of transportation and storing.Therefore, designers often use it for modern buildings and indoor decorations. Beyond its daily uses,the material also carries technological meaning. _40_.The mix of natural materials and modern technology gives the common stone magical abilities.Such scientific creations not only improve people's daily life,but also perfectly show the powerful charm of modern science.People are looking forward to its new use in the future. A. It has a further hidden value to be explored. B. Such changes make the material more useful. C. It costs a lot of money to make the new stone. D. The material lets sunshine pass through easily. E.

First, be brave enough to speak up in class. Second, don't be afraid of making mistakes. They are part of learning. Third, practice more and prepare well before class. In this way, we can become more confident and learn better. 1 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $
