Many plants cannot 2 such hard places, but cactuses can stay alive for many years. Unlike common flowers that need lots of water every day, cactuses 3 water inside their thick green bodies. When the rain finally comes, they take in as much water 4 possible and store it for dry days. This tells us to prepare well 5 hard times arrive. A cactus also has sharp thorns all over itself. Some people think the thorns look terrible, 6 they are the cactus’s best protection. Animals will not eat it because of the thorns. It does not complain about its hard living place. It just grows quietly and tries its best to 7 strong. Even without rich soil or enough water, the cactus can still bloom beautiful flowers.

Unlike cactuses that survive hot dry deserts, lotuses live in dark, muddy ponds all year round. The water around them is always dirty and full of mud, yet their pink or white flowers rise above the surface, clean, fresh and spotless. Its roots stay buried deep in the muddy bottom. Instead of complaining about the terrible living environment, the roots quietly take in nutrients from the mud to feed long green leaves and elegant blooms. Even on rainy or windy days, the lotus flower never bends down easily. Its wide leaves can roll off raindrops quickly, refusing to let dirt stick to them. Ancient writers often praised the lotus for its special spirit. It reminds us that a person’s inner quality never depends on their living conditions. We may face messy troubles, unfair treatment or hard living situations in our daily life, just like the lotus surrounded by mud. However, we still have the power to keep a pure heart, hold on to our kindness and never be influenced by bad things around us. The lotus also tells us another truth: difficulties are not always bad. The muddy pond provides everything the plant needs to grow strong and bloom beautifully. If we can accept hard experiences and turn them into growing power, we will finally show our best self, just like the lotus opening its bright flowers above the mud. 1. Where does the lotus grow according to the passage?

Keeping pure inside though in hard conditions. 5. What is the main idea of the whole passage? A. How to plant lotuses well in small ponds. B. Different plants’ living habits in nature. C. Valuable life lessons we learn from lotuses. D. Ancient poems that talk about beautiful flowers. 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Pine trees are respected plants full of valuable life lessons in our daily life. They mostly grow on cold, rocky hills with thin and poor soil, where few other plants can live through long cold winters. As autumn comes, most trees lose their leaves and turn dry and yellow, but pine trees keep fresh green all year round, even when heavy snow covers their branches. They own two powerful advantages to stand hard conditions. First, their strong thick trunks can hold back cold strong wind without breaking easily. Second, their deep roots stretch far underground to take in little nutrition from bare rock and thin soil. Pine trees never complain about their terrible living environment, nor give up growing slowly. These quiet trees teach us a clear lesson. When we face pressure, failure or hard times in study and life, we should keep a brave and steady spirit like pines. We need to hold fast to our own beliefs, stay true to ourselves and never lose hope no matter how hard the situation is. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个单词。 1. Where do pine trees mainly grow? 2. What covers pine branches in winter? 3. What keeps pine trees from breaking in wind? 4. What helps pines get food from poor soil? 5. What spirit do pine trees teach us? 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.diary　　　2. victory　　　3. perform　　　4. disappoint　　　 5. cactus 6.lotus　　　7. self　　　　　8. through　　　9. growing　　　　10. spirits 二、用所给词的适当形式填空。 1. meaning 2. contribution 3. helpful 4.life 5. muddy 6.ourselves 7.growing 8. facing 9. to be confident 10. positively 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. to live through 2.attractive 3.self 4.performance 5.diaries 四、单项选择 1-5 CBDAC 6-10 CDACB 五、完形填空 1-5 BACBC 6-10 ACAAB 11-15 CBDAA 六、阅读理解 1-5 CBADC 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 1. On cold rocky hills. 2. Heavy snow. 3. Their strong trunks. 4. Their deep roots. 5. A brave and steady spirit. 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
