Once there was a man travelling in a faraway village. As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains(锁链), no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”
How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they were always stuck(固定) right where they were, they believed they couldn’t.
Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?
We should never give up the struggle(斗争) in life.
【小题1】Why do the elephants never try to break free from the ropes?
| A．Because they think they can not.. |
| B．Because they are too old to do it. |
| C．Because they like their living places. |
| D．Because they get on well with the trainer. |
| A．Moved. | B．Surprised. |
| C．Angry. | D．Nervous. |
| A．Failing is part of learning |
| B．We should be different from others |
| C．Helping animals is helping ourselves |
| D．Travelling always makes people relaxed |
| A．A Pleasant Trip | B．A Cruel Trainer |
| C．Elephant Training | D．The Elephant Rope |
【小题1】B

解析试题分析：本文通过讲述大象鼻子上的绳子来告诉我们面对失败，不要放弃，要坚持斗争。当作者在村里看到大象鼻子上系着一根细绳，大象却不会挣脱，他感到惊讶。驯象师告诉他这是因为大象在很小的时候，因为挣脱不了这个绳子，他长大了仍然以为挣脱不了，所以就放弃努力了。这告诉我们，失败是生活中的一部分，应该不要放弃争扎。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped.可知他在这个村里看到了大象。故选B。
【小题2】细节理解题。 As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away.可知当大象长大了，他们仍然认为他们不能挣脱绳子，所以没有想办法摆脱绳子的束缚。故选A。
【小题3】推理判断题。根据How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes.可知大象长大了，能在在任何时候摆脱绳子，怎么能不挣断绳子呢？故推断此处他感到惊讶。故选B。
【小题4】推理判断题。根据We should never give up the struggle(挣扎) in life.可知在生活中失败是常有的事，我们不应放弃争扎。故选A。
【小题5】标题归纳题。本文通过大象鼻子上的绳子，告诉我们曾经的挫折和失败，如果我们坚持斗争，就能成功，但是放弃争扎，就只能是在失败。故此处用大象鼻子上的绳子来比喻曾经的失败。故选D。

Most dictionaries will tell you a number of things about a language. There are three important things. These three things are spelling, pronunciation and meanings.
First, a dictionary will tell you the spelling of a world. If you are not sure about the spelling of a word, you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in alphabetical order—a,b,c and so on. For example, on a dictionary page the word “poor”—p,o,o,r – comes before “poverty”—p,o,v,e,r,t,y—and the word “poverty” comes before “ power”—p,o,w,e,r. The words are always given in an alphabetical order.
The second thing, a dictionary will tell you pronunciation. Most give phonetic, or sound, alphabet. The phonetic spelling will tell you how a word is pronounced. There are a few different phonetic alphabets. Many dictionaries use the International Phonetic Alphabet to show pronunciation.
The third thing, a dictionary will tell you the meaning of words. You can look up a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary will tell you all of the word’s meaning. For example, in English the common word “get” has over 20 different meanings.
【小题1】In the passage, which of the following is among the three important things?
| A．How to write a word well. |
| B．How to use a word. |
| C．How to make a sentence. |
| D．How to read a word correctly. |
| A．"remote" comes first and "remove" comes last |
| B．"remove" first and "remote" last |
| C．"remote" first and "remove" last |
| D．"remove" first and "remount" last |
| A．several meanings |
| B．few meanings |
| C．one meaning |
| D．no meaning |
| A．spelling | B．handwriting |
| C．meanings | D．pronunciation |

There was once a farmer who had a fine olive orchard(橄榄果园). He was hard-working, but his three sons hated farm work. When the farmer was dying, he called the three sons to him and said, "My sons, there is a pot (罐子) of gold hidden in the olive orchard. Dig for it, if you want it."
The sons tried to get him to tell them in what part of the orchard the gold was hidden; but he would tell them nothing more.
After the farmer was dead, the sons went to work to find the pot of gold; since they did not know where the hiding-place was, they agreed to begin in a line, at one end of the orchard, and to dig until one of them should find the money.
They dug until they had turned up the soil from one end of the orchard to the other, round the tree-roots and between them. But no pot of gold was to be found. It seemed as if someone must have stolen it. The three sons were rather disappointed to have all their work for nothing.
The next olive season, the olive trees in the orchard bore more fruit than they had ever given; when it was sold, it gave the sons a whole pot of gold.
And when they saw how much money had come from the orchard, they suddenly understood what the wise father had meant when he said, "There is gold hidden in the orchard. Dig for it, if you want it."
