Once upon a time,there was a wonderful old man who loved everything on the land——animals and plants.
One day while walking through the woods,the old man found a cocoon of a butterfly. He took it home. A few days later,a small opening appeared;he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. Then the man decided to help the butterfly,so he took a pair of scissors and cut the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then came out easily.
But it had a swollen body and small,shriveled(枯萎的)wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that,at any moment,the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body,or they would be smaller. Neither happened! In fact,the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.
What the man in his kindness and hurry did not understand was that the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening was nature’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were allowed to go through our life without any difficulties,it would cripple(使无能)us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. And we could never fly.
59.The old man cut the cocoon in order to__________.
A.kill the butterfly
B.play with the butterfly
C.make the butterfly come out easily
D.have the butterfly
60.The reason why the butterfly could not fly is that__________.
A.the old man broke its wings
B.it was too small
C.newly born butterflies can’t fly
D.it came out of its cocoon without enough struggle
61.What can we know from the passage?
A.That old man was fond of everything except the butterfly.
B.It was the old man that stopped the butterfly flying.
C.The old man realized his mistake.
D.It’s not hard for the butterfly to come out of the cocoon.
62.What does the author want to tell us by writing the passage?
A.We should help others.
B.Without others help we can still succeed.
C.Struggles in our life can make us stronger.
D.Butterflies can fly without people’s help.

C
Last Sep.11 was an important day too. After unknown gunmen attacked aid workers from the Nobel Prize-winning Medecins sans Frontieres at a roadblock on that day , most of the international aid groups helping Darfur’s 6 million people stopped using the roads . On Dec.18 , unknown gunmen attacked the southern town of Gereida. More than 70 aid workers then pulled out of the refugee(难民) camp there—Darfur’s largest, with 130,000 people —leaving only 10 Red Cross employees behind. Yet at the time no one said what had really caused the sudden pullbacks.
Damaging has become surprisingly common in Darfur, where 200,000 Africans have been killed and a third of the population have been sent fleeing into camps in three years of war. But the attacks on international aid workers suggested a dramatic and dangerous start—to attack on purpose those helping to keep Darfur’s millions of refugee alive. A dozen people from foreign NGOs (non-governmental organizations) have been killed in just the past six months , more than previous years. There are about 14,000 aid workers in Darfur now , the majority of them Sudanese, working for foreign NGOs and U.N. agencies and delivering $1 billion a year in aid . Just a few more terrible attacks could throw that into jeopardy. Last week 14 U.N. offices working in Darfur made a clear warning that “the humanitarian (人道主义) organization cannot possibly make certain the survival of the population Darfur if aid workers don’t feel safe. ”
64.What made Sept.11 an important day according to the passage?
A.Two World Trade Center buildings were destroyed in the USA.
B.International aid workers were attacked in Darfur.
C.A fight happened between the international aid workers and some unknown gunmen in Darfur.
D.International aid groups stopped their help to Darfur.
65.Which of the following shows a picture of Darfur?
A.Darfur has been in war since the last Sept.11.
B.Many people in Datfur are homeless because of the war.
C.Darfur will not get help from organizations including the UN.
D.International aid groups have never been attacked before.
66.The underlined word“jeopardy”in the last paragraph most probably means .
A.light B.practice C.danger D.effect
67.Which of the following can be the tide of the passage?
A.People in Darfur B.International Aid Groups in Danger
C.War in Darfur D.International Aid to Darfur
