It takes a 2 of years for young pines to grow strong.

It mostly grows in rainy hillsides with damp soil. It looks thin and gentle, but it has surprising inner strength. When strong typhoons sweep the mountains, many tall trees will break or fall down. However, bamboo will bend its stem in the wind instead of breaking. Once the wind passes, it stands straight again and continues to grow day by day. It never fights hard wind in a rude way, yet it survives all terrible weather. Unlike flowering plants that only bloom once a year to catch people’s eyes, bamboo grows quietly all the time without showing off. It has no bright or attractive flowers, but it brings lots of value to people. We can cut its stems to build houses, make furniture and even cook delicious food. The spirit of bamboo tells us an important truth. We don’t need to seek praise or show our advantages everywhere. When we meet troubles in study or life, we don’t have to be too stubborn. Being soft and patient can help us get through hard times. Keeping modest and useful is the true meaning of a beautiful life. 1. Where does bamboo usually grow according to the passage? A. On cold rocky hills. B. In dry hot deserts. C. On rainy damp hillsides. D. In muddy lake water. 2. What will bamboo do when strong typhoons come? A. It will break into pieces quickly. B. It bends its stem to avoid breaking. C. It stops growing for the whole year. D. It bears beautiful flowers to fight wind. 3. What can people make from bamboo stems? A. Houses and furniture. B.

It can’t offer anything useful to humans. C. It dies soon after one cold winter. D. It doesn’t have eye-catching bright flowers. 5. What is the main idea of the whole passage? A. How to plant bamboo on hills. B. Valuable life lessons we learn from bamboo. C. Different kinds of plants in nature. D. How bamboo grows its stems. 七、六选五 Lots of plants carry deep lessons about how to live a meaningful life, and the lotus is full of noble spirits worth learning from. 1 It grows in dark, muddy pond water all year long, an environment that most beautiful flowers cannot stand. 2 While it takes nutrition from dirty mud, its pink or white flowers rise clean and spotless above the water surface. Raindrops slide off its wide leaves, and no mud can stick to them. 3 Many plants bloom for only a short time and fade quickly, but lotuses keep fresh for weeks in summer. They never hide their beauty, yet they never look down on the mud they grow in. We can get a clear truth from lotuses. Our living environment cannot decide our inner character. 4 Even if we meet messy troubles and bad surroundings, we can still keep a pure, kind heart. Don’t only chase good looks or others’ praise. Hard conditions can shape better people. 5 This is the precious lesson the lotus brings to us.A. It does not mind its muddy living environment at all. B. The lotus is well-known for its special growing habit. C. It is easy for lotuses to dry up on hot summer days. D. We should stay pure no matter what difficulties we face. E. Unlike other flowers, lotuses grow well in dirty mud. F. The lotus also has strong lasting vitality in hot weather. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 参考答案： 一、根据句意、中文释义和首字母提示，写出所缺单词。 1. stem 2. expect 3. bear 4.hidden 5. celebration 6. Unlike 7. attractive 8. peanuts 9.pity 10. dug 二、用所给词的适当形式填空。 1. peanuts 2. unused 3. dug 4.celebration 5. Unlike 6.stems 7.bears 8.attractive 9.compares 10. to be 三、选择方框中所给单词或短语，并用其适当形式完成句子。 1. expect 2. couple 3.to dig out 4.attraction 5.to compare 四、单项选择 1-5 ABDCB 6-10 ADCAB 五、完形填空 1-5 ABCAC 6-10 ABDAC 11-15 CDABC 六、阅读理解 1-5 CBADB 七、六选五 1-5 BEFAD 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
