Butterfly’s wings
One day a small opening appeared on a cocoon(茧), a man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours as it was struggling to 1 its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten 2 it could and it could go no further. So the man decided to 3 the butterfly: he took a pair of scissors and 4 the remaining part of the cocoon. The butterfly then 5 easily.
But it has a swollen(肿胀的) body and 6 wings. The man continued to 7 the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the 8 would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would 9 in time. Neither happened! 10, the butterfly spent the rest of its life 11 around with a swollen body and small, shriveled(褶皱的) wings. It 12 was able to fly. What the man did in his 13 and haste(匆忙)did no good to the butterfly. He didn’t know the 14 cocoon and the struggle 15 for the butterfly to get through the tiny 16 were the natural way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings 17 it would be ready for flight once it achieved its 18 from the cocoon.

解析
小题1:B 此句意为:…一个人坐在那儿花了好几个小时看着蝴蝶挣扎着试图从那个裂缝挤出来。根据选项的词义可知,只有选项B符合要求。选项A意为“建立”;选项B意为“迫使;推动”;选项C意为“形成”;选项D意为“破坏;摧毁”。故B正确。
小题2:A 此句意为:看上去它好像已经尽力了,无法再往前迈进一步了。根据句子结构只有as far as it could(尽其所能)才符合要求。as soon as 意为“一……就……”;as long as意为“只要”;as quick as意为“尽快”。故选项A正确。
小题3:D 因为上文提到蝴蝶破茧没有什么进展了,所以此处应该意为为:于是这个人决定帮助那只蝴蝶。选项A意为“抓住;捉拿”;选项B意为“离开”;选项C意为“带来”;故选D.
小题4:C 选项A意为“脱下;起飞;成功”;选项B意为“组成;弥补;编造”;选项C意为“剪下”;选项D意为“捡起;接(某人)”。根据上文此句意为“他拿出一把剪刀,把蚕茧的其他部分剪破。”故选项C正确。
小题5:B 选项A意为“分散;传开”;选项B意为“出来”;选项C意为“呆在家中;不外出”;选项D意为“飞走”。此句意为“然后蝴蝶很轻易地破茧而出。”故选项B正确。
小题6:C 此句意为“但是它身体肿胀,翅膀很小。”很显然,刚刚破茧而出的蝴蝶的翅膀不可能很坚硬(hard),不可能很健壮(strong),也不可能很大(large)。同时下文有 “…small, shriveled(褶皱的) wings”,故C正确。
小题7:A 根据词义辨别以及句义可知选项A为最佳答案。
小题8:B 根据词义辨别以及句义可知选项B为最佳答案。
小题9:D 选项A意为“消失”;选项B意为“扩大”;选项C意为“丢失”;选项D意为“缩小”。此句意为“这个人继续观察蝴蝶,他希望蝴蝶的翅膀能随时展开变大,而身体随着时间的流逝而慢慢变小,最终翅膀能够承载身体飞起来。”故选项D正确。

小题11:A 选项A意为“爬行”;选项B意为“接近;靠近”;选项C意为“跑”;选项D意为“漫步;漫游”。此句意为“事实上,这只蝴蝶一生都只能拖着肿胀的身体和既小又皱翅膀爬行。”故选项A正确。
小题12:D 根据上文可知,此句意为:它永远也飞不起来。故选项D正确。
小题13:B 此句意为:这个急躁而好心的人之所作所为对蝴蝶并没有好处。选项A意为“惧怕;恐惧”;选项B意为“善意;善良”;选项C意为“邪恶;罪恶”;选项D意为“信心”。故选项B正确。
小题14:A 选项A意为“束缚的;限制的”;选项B意为“松的”;选项C意为“软的”;选项D意为“小的”。根据词义辨别及句义可知选项A正确。
小题15:D 选项A意为“准备”;选项B意为“想要”;选项C意为“允许”;选项D意为“要求”。
小题16:C 根据短文第一段的第一句中的a small opening(一道裂缝)可知此处应选C.
小题17:D 根据所给选项的词义,选项A意为“即使;虽然”;选项B意为“否则;不然”;选项C意为“当……时候”;选项D意为“以便”。根据句义可知应选D.
小题18:D 全句意为:他并不知道,束缚蝴蝶的蚕茧,穿过狭小的缝隙所需要的挣扎,都是上帝的安排。在此过程中,蝴蝶将体内的水分挤到翅膀里,以便做好起飞的准备。一旦它突破蚕茧获得自由,就能飞翔。故D正确。
小题19:B 根据词义辨别以及句义可知,此句意为:有时候,我们所需要的就是奋斗。选项B为最佳答案。

举一反三
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(质地),as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression,“There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining(重组) the old in new ways.”For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results. To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities.

A.a new thing can only be created at the basis of earliest things |
B.a new thing is only a tale |
C.we can seldom create new things |

A.How to Develop One’s Creativity | B.What Is Creativity |
C.The Importance of Creativity | D.Creativity, a Not Faraway Thing |

Expert: Science Adviser - <>3/21/2011 |
QUESTION: Dear Marie, Do you have some good suggestions of biology: plant, animal, human science experiments that would work well with teenagers? Scientific methods must go with the experiments. Thanks! < Donna ANSWER: Dear Donna, Marie is not online and I’ll help you instead of him. There are a lot of little things that can be done, but do you mean lab experiment or statistical analysis, etc.? Let us know what can be suitable for you teens, and we will do our best to send you some experiments to do. Best, Gloria |

QUESTION: Dear Gloria, I need lab experiments. The teenage students and I will use data from these experiments to make charts, graphs, tables, etc. and to provide claims and evidence to explain more about the results. Thank you very much. Donna ANSWER: Hi there, Your best and easiest way is to do some chemistry experiments. Those are very easy and most probably you can do it in the lab and have charts, etc. for you. I do not have any particular one at the top of my head because I do cancer research and it is a bit more difficult than research for teenagers. I think you can look through these and see if you find something useful for you. http://www.siraze.net/chemistry/sezennur/experiments.htm If not, get back to me and Marie, and we’ll look more. The good thing about this site is that it has the procedures that you can follow. Good luck, Gloria |

Children find meanings in their old family tales.
When Stephen Guyer’s three children were growing up, he told them stories about how his grandfather, a banker, 1 all in the 1930s, but did not lose sight of what he valued most. In one of the darkest times 2 his strong-minded grandfather was nearly 3 , he loaded his family into the car and 4 them to see family members in Canada with a 5 , “there are more important things in life than money”.
The 6 took on a new meaning recently when Mr. Guyer downsized to 7 house from a more expensive and comfortable one. He was 8 that his children, a daughter, 15, and twins, 22, would be upset.To his surprise, they weren’t. 9 , their reaction echoed (共鸣) their great-grandfather’s.What they 10 was how warm the people were in the house and how 11 of their heart was accessible.
Many parents are finding that family stories have surprising power to help children
12 hard times. Storytelling experts say the phenomenon reflects a growing 13 in telling tales, evidenced by a rise in storytelling events and festivals.
A university 14 of 65 families with children aged from 14 to 16 found kids’ ability to 15 parents’ stories was linked to a lower rate of anger and anxiety.
The 16 is telling the stories in a way children can 17 . We’re not talking here about the kind of story that 18 , “ When I was a kid, I walked to school every day uphill both ways, barefoot in the snow.” Instead, we should choose a story suited to the child’s 19 , and make eye contact (接触) to create “a personal experience”. We don’t have to tell children 20 they should take from the story and what the moral is.

None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no magic powers for looking down below the earth’s surface.They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals in the ground -- using trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie under the ground on which the trees and plants are growing.
This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface.
At Watson Bar Creek, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds.Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees.Roots were dug and put into boxes.Each bag and box was carefully marked.In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested.Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.
Study of the roots, branches and seeds showed no silver.But there were small amounts of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds.The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.
If the trees indicated that there was no gold in the ground, the scientists wouldn’t spare money to pay for digging into the ground.
小题1:Scientists were flying over a desert or a hilly wasteland or a mountain region to _____.
A.train their eyes | B.study the trees |
C.look for gold | D.search for minerals |
A.there were larger amounts of gold in the branches far from the tree trunk than in the seeds |
B.there were smaller amounts of gold in the tree roots deep in the ground than in the branches |
C.there were larger amounts of gold in the seeds growing closer to the tree trunk than in the seeds farther from it |
D.there were larger amounts of gold in the branches than in the leaves on the ends of the branches |
A.leaves | B.roots | C.branches | D.seeds |
A.Scientists searching for treasure with special equipment. |
B.New methods of doing geological study. |
C.Gold could be found in trees and plants. |
D.A new method of searching for minerals. |
