The North Wind boasted about his strength, saying, "I am the most powerful! I can blow with such force that I can knock over trees."The Sun, calm and quiet, simply smiled and said, "True strength doesn't always come from force. I believe that gentleness is often more powerful than aggression."The North Wind scoffed at this. "Let's settle this once and for all," he said.Just then, they saw a traveler walking along the road below, wearing a heavy cloak. The North Wind came up with a challenge. "Whoever can make the traveler remove his cloak will be declared the strongest." The Sun agreed, and the North Wind went first.The North Wind gathered all his strength and blew with all his might. He sent powerful gusts of cold wind down to the traveler. The traveler, feeling the cold wind, shivered and pulled his cloak tighter around him. The harder the North Wind blew, the more the traveler held onto his cloak, refusing to let it go.Now it was the Sun's turn. He smiled warmly and began to shine down on the traveler. His rays were gentle, soft, and comforting. As the warmth spread, the traveler began to feel comfortable. The sun didn't force anything; instead, the traveler started to loosen his grip on the cloak. Before long, the traveler grew too warm under the sunlight, and he willingly took off his cloak to cool down.The Sun had won the challenge. By being gentle and warm, he had succeeded where the North Wind's forceful blasts had failed.The moral of the story: Gentleness and kindness can achieve what force and aggression cannot. 36.What were the North Wind and the Sun arguing about? A. Who was warmer. B. Who was stronger. C. Who could blow harder. D. Who could shine brighter. 37.What did the North Wind do first? A. He shone warmly. B. He blew as hard as he could. C.

He felt happy and danced. D. He felt sleepy and sat down. 39.How did the Sun make the traveler take off his cloak? A. By blowing hard. B. By shining warmly and gently. C. By pulling the cloak. D. By talking to the traveler. 40.What is the moral of the story? A. Force is the best way to win. B. Gentleness and kindness can achieve what force cannot. C. The North Wind is stronger than the Sun. D. Travelers should always wear cloaks. 【答案】36-40 BBBBB 【解析】 36. 原文："the North Wind and the Sun were having a disagreement about who was stronger." 故选B。 37. 原文："the North Wind went first.

The North Wind boasted about his strength, saying, "I am the most powerful! I can blow with such force that I can knock over trees."The Sun, calm and quiet, simply smiled and said, "True strength doesn't always come from force. I believe that gentleness is often more powerful than aggression."The North Wind scoffed at this. "Let's settle this once and for all," he said.Just then, they saw a traveler walking along the road below, wearing a heavy cloak. The North Wind came up with a challenge. "Whoever can make the traveler remove his cloak will be declared the strongest." The Sun agreed, and the North Wind went first.The North Wind gathered all his strength and blew with all his might. He sent powerful gusts of cold wind down to the traveler. The traveler, feeling the cold wind, shivered and pulled his cloak tighter around him. The harder the North Wind blew, the more the traveler held onto his cloak, refusing to let it go.Now it was the Sun's turn. He smiled warmly and began to shine down on the traveler. His rays were gentle, soft, and comforting. As the warmth spread, the traveler began to feel comfortable. The sun didn't force anything; instead, the traveler started to loosen his grip on the cloak. Before long, the traveler grew too warm under the sunlight, and he willingly took off his cloak to cool down.The Sun had won the challenge. By being gentle and warm, he had succeeded where the North Wind's forceful blasts had failed.The moral of the story: Gentleness and kindness can achieve what force and aggression cannot. 36.What were the North Wind and the Sun arguing about?

By talking to the traveler. 40.What is the moral of the story? A. Force is the best way to win. B. Gentleness and kindness can achieve what force cannot. C. The North Wind is stronger than the Sun. D. Travelers should always wear cloaks. C　 The Boy and the Star Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved stars. Every night, he looked up at the sky and counted the stars. One evening, he saw a small star fall from the sky. It landed in the grass near his house.The boy ran to the star and picked it up. It was still warm and shiny. "Oh, little star," he said, "why did you fall?"The star said in a tiny voice, "I was too proud. I wanted to fly higher than all the other stars, but I flew too high and fell down."The boy felt sorry for the star. He took it home and put it in a small box. Every day, he opened the box and talked to the star. He told it about his day, about the trees, the birds, and the flowers.Slowly, the star began to feel better. Its light grew brighter. One night, the boy opened the box and the star flew out. It went back up into the sky, twinkling happily among the other stars.Before it left, the star said to the boy, "Thank you for your kindness. Remember: pride goes before a fall."The boy never forgot those words. He remained humble and kind, and he always helped those in need. 41.What did the boy love? A. The moon. B. The stars. C. The sun.
