阅读理解     In her sixth period today, Mrs. Cox has taught a poem by a well-known black writer in the United
States. She wrote the poem on the blackboard and read it aloud.  
     No sooner had she finished reading the poem than students" questions began pouring in. One boy said
the poem was heart-breakingly sad. Another student, a girl, said she had read a book by the same writer, but she wasn"t able to enjoy it as much as her mother did, and she didn"t know why. A third, a keen
viewer of TV theatre, recognized a phrase in the poem which had been used as the title of a recent play.
As she answered the questions, Mrs. Cox made sure that her students understood every line of the
poem.  he  asked  them  to  discuss  if  the  poem  contained  any  message.  The discussion became so
lively that no one wanted to stop when the bell rang. Some said there was no message, some said it didn"t
really matter, and the class ended at that.  
     As she drove home, Mrs. Cox thought about the class she had just left. Today she could feel good
about what she had accomplished as a teacher. None of her students looked bored. Every one of them
seemed interested in the poem. Once they started to talk, they forget about the time. She did not have
to make them learn? she only had to answer their questions and to guide the discussion. This, she thought
to herself, is what teaching is all about!

阅读理解     If you were to walk up to Arthur Bonnet and say, "Hey, Butterfly Man," his face would break into a
smile. The title suits him. And he loves it.
     Arthur Bonnet works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, once thought to have died out. Today the
butterfly is coming back thanks to him. But years ago if you"d told him this was what he"d be doing
someday, he would have laughed, "You"re crazy." As a boy, he used to be a little tough guy on the
streets". At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting
a man.
     "I knew it had hurt my mom," Bonner said after he got out of prison. "So I told myself I would not
put my morn through that pain again."
     One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat for an endangered
butterfly called E1 Segundo blue.
     "I saw the sign "Butterfly Habitat" and asked, "How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can
just fly away?"" Bonner recalls. "Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass (放大镜) ,
"Look at the leaves. " I could see all these caterpillars (蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, "Without the plant, there are no butterflies. ""
     Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly that needed
help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he"s been working for four years to help
bring the butterfly back. He grows astragals, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and
brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.
     The butterfly"s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr.
Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonnet, he earned something more: he turned his life around.
     For six years now Bonnet has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he"s bringing back the
Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.

1. When he was young, Arthur Bonner
A. broke the law and ended up in prisonB. was fond of shooting and hurt his morn
C. often offered necessary help to other people
D. often caught butterflies and took them home

2. Bonner came to know the Palos Verdes blue after he ______.
A. found the butterfly had died outB. won many prizes from his professor
C. met Dr. Mattoni, a professor of biology
D. collected butterflies and put them into a lab

3. From the last sentence of the text, we learn that raising butterflies has ______
A. made Bonner famous
B. changed Bonner"s life
C. brought Bonner wealth
D. enriched Bonner"s knowledge

4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. A Promise to Morn
B. A Man Saved by Butterflies
C. A Story of Butterflies
D. A Job Offered by Dr. Mattoni

阅读理解     "You know, these cups bring to mind a tea quote (说法) I heard. " Mary"s aunt said.
     She poured tea. There were four of them and there were four totally different cups on the table. They
grabbed their tea cups.
     "What quote?" Mary asked.
     "Well, maybe I should rather say it is a story," Aunt said, "I heard there was this wise teacher who
took all his students for tea. They were surprised that all the cups on the table were different. They all
took a cup and started drinking their tea, each looking at the cups of others. The teacher let them do that
for a while and then said: "Do you notice your behaviors? You are all looking at each other"s tea cup and
I can see some of you with the chipped (残缺的) ones are even envious of the finer cups of others. Is
this not so?" The students agreed, amused by their own behaviors.  
     "You may have wondered why you all had different cups, but I put them here on purpose. You see —
they represent life itself. Life is, like that tea — and the cups are like the physical circumstances of your
life. You all got the same thing in your cup — tea. And yet you cannot truly enjoy it in your envy of
another"s cup. It"s just the same with life. You forget to enjoy your own life when you concentrate on
envying the circumstances of someone else"s life.
     So now, close your eyes, and taste your own tea. Really taste it. And tell me — Did it matter from
which cup it came?"
     Aunt finished telling her short tea story and they all sat in silence for a while, savoring (品味) their tea. A sleepy fly buzzed past; a bird sang in the tree. And it really did not matter one bit from which tea cup
they drank.1. When the students found that they had different tea cups, they ______.A. were satisfied with their own cups
B. were angry about the chipped cups they had been given
C. asked the teacher to get new cups for them
D. were curious about the difference between the cups2. From the text, we can conclude that ______.A. the teacher prepared different tea cups for each student
B. the teacher should have given the students the same tea cups
C. the chipped tea cups were actually made of better materials
D. each student took their rime to choose a cup they liked3. By comparing the cups to the physical circumstances of people"s lives, the teacher meant that people
______.A. shouldn"t focus on the physical circumstances only
B. can"t change their physical circumstances
C. should try different ways of life
D. should always be prepared for strange things in life4. The teacher"s message to the students was that ______.A. life is actually hard and boring for everyone
B. it is natural to be envious of the lives of others
C. everyone should learn to enjoy life
D. people act differently in different circumstances

     It was the old lady"s eightieth birthday. She was sure Myra wouldn"t forgot her mother"s birthday,
even if she was busy. After all, eighty was a special birthday. Perhaps Myra might come. Even if Myra
did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened
her cheeks. She was excited like a child.
    Mrs. Morrison had brought a card and a bunch of flowers when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs.
Grant downstairs had made a cake. Johnnie, the little boy next door, was now up with her with a packet
of sweets.
    "I guess you"ll get lots and lots of presents, " he said. "I did last week when I was six."
    What would she like? A pair of slippers, perhaps. A blue new cardigan. Or a table lamp. Or a little
clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely things.
    She stood by the window, watching. The postman turned round the corner on his bicycle. Her heart
beat fast. Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate.
    "Granny, granny, " Johnnie returned. "I"ve got your post!"
    He gave her four envelopes. Three were from old friends. The fourth was in Myra"s writing.
    "No parcel(包裹), Johnnie?"
    "No, granny."
     Almost reluctantly, she tore the fourth envelope open. Folded in the card was a check. Written on the
card was a message: Happy Birthday-Buy yourself something nice with the check, Myra and Harold.
     The six-figure check fell to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. Slowly the old lady bent to pick it
 up. Her present, her lovely present. With trembling fingers she tore it into little bits.

1. As can be inferred from the passage, _______.A. the old lady lived alone in a flat away from her daughter
B. the friends sent the old lady many lovely presents by post
C. Myra was stopped by her husband from seeing her mother
D. the neighbours cared little about the old lady in daily life2. The old lady felt _______ when she saw no packet came with her daughter"s card.A. excited
B. happy
C. disappointed
D. impatient3. Which of the following might serve as the best title for the passage?A. The Present
B. The Check
C. The Birthday
D. The Daughter4. The reason why the old lady tore the check into small pieces was that _______.A. she was sure her daughter would come, not the check
B. she didn"t notice there were six figures on the check
C. she didn"t think the check was large enough for a present
D. she would prefer a present with love from her daughter
