Hello! My name is Lisa, and I am a lioness. I live on the open grasslands of Africa with my family. Lions living in a group are called a pride.
My father is strong and powerful. He and his cousin are the leaders of our pride. The other members are my mother, her sisters, and their children.

We lions keep ourselves very clean. Just like a house cat, I clean my fur (毛with my tongue. We clean for each other, too, to show we’re friends.
Lions like to sleep for most of the day. We hunt in the cool evening. Female (雌性的) lions hunt more often than male lions. We work together as a team. At the right moment, we attack and kill our prey. Then we share it. Male lions usually eat first. Females eat next. Baby lions are the last to eat. The smallest one gets the least food.

I am a social worker. I wanted to tell everyone about my very dear friend who passed away a few months ago.

When Christmas Eve finally arrived, I felt very happy, thinking I had done all I could do and reflecting on what a(n)      it had been for me. I was bagging up the remaining toys        if there was anyone left who might like them. Then my phone rang.
It was my daughter. She        to explain about a woman she knew in Kentucky who had five children, one seriously ill, no husband, no heating in the home, no toys!
Ohh--how could we not?
My daughter and I drove all night, from New York to Kentucky, and those children woke up in a nice warm house with plenty of       !

One day a man found a cocoon(茧)of a butterfly in the forest. He sat there for several hours and watched the butterfly. Suddenly a small opening appeared, and the butterfly made its great effort 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 further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly could come out easily. But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would become larger and be able to fly. But neither happened. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬)around with a heavy body and small wings. It was never able to fly.
The man was in his kindness, but he did not understand the nature rules. Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid(流体)from its body must be forced into its wings, and then it would be ready for flying. It must have a hard struggle to get through the small opening to get its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We would not be as strong as we could have been; we could never fly.
小题1:What was the butterfly doing at the beginning of the story?
A.It was trying to make a cocoon for itself.
B.It was struggling to get out of its cocoon.
C.It was flying among the trees in the forest.
D.It was crawling around quietly on the ground.
小题2:The man cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon              .
A.to take the butterfly home
B.to help the butterfly come out easily
C.to kill the butterfly
D.to stop the butterfly growing bigger
小题3:What do you think of the man?
A.patient but cruelB.careful and wiseC.kind but unwiseD.brave and funny
小题4:What does the last paragraph tell us?
A.Struggles are sometimes necessary in our life
B.Nothing is difficult if we put our heart into it
C.Every good deed will come back with a good result
D.The greatest happiness in the world is to help others
小题5:What is the best title for the story?
A.The love for the cocoon.B.The joy of helping each other
C.The lesson of the cocoonD.The expectation for the butterfly

Rachel Carson, born in rural Pennsylvania in 1907, had a great impact on the environment. Carson earned a master’s degree in zoology in 1932. It was as a writer and not as a research scientist, however, that she made her mark, sharing her view that human beings are just one element in a larger natural order.
In the articles on natural history Carson wrote for various publications, she expressed dry facts in poetic and persuasive language. She wrote five books. Two of them, The Sea Around Us and The Edge of the Sea, have been called “biographies of the ocean.”
Carson also made the world aware of how scientific discoveries can harm as well as help living things. In her best-selling book Silent Spring, Carson challenged the profligate use of chemical pesticides by large agricultural and government organizations. She was the first to detail how the pesticide DDT had entered the food chain and damaged populations of bald eagles, falcons, and brown pelicans by causing the shells of their eggs to become so thin that they could not withstand the weight of the parent bird.
Carson died of cancer in 1964. Today, the Rachel Carson Council collects and disseminates (散播) information on pesticide-related issues. In 1970, the Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge, a large area of salt marsh and freshwater habitat in Maine, was dedicated to her memory.
小题1:Which of the following words is closest to the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 3 ?
A.excessiveB.inadequateC.authoritativeD.efficient
小题2:Which of the following inferences is correct ?
A.Carson wrote books that the average person could understand.
B.Dangerous properties of new chemical products may be immediately apparent.
C.If not for Carson, no one would have learned about the dangers of DDT.
D.In 1970, large quantities of salt and freshwater were dedicated to Carson’s memory by the Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge
小题3:Which of the statements below expresses the main idea of the passage ?
A.Writers have played an important role in the battle against pollution.
B.The scientist Rachel Carson taught people about environmental issues through her writing.
C.Carson’s book Silent Spring changed the way some pesticides were used.
D.Many of Carson’s books were about pesticide-related issues.

My father was Chief engineer of a merchant ship, which was sunk in World War II. The book
Night of the U-boats told the story.
Memories
In September, 1940, my mother, sister and I went to Swansea, where my father’s ship was getting ready to sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep him sail.
Then I remember my mother lying face down, sobbing. She had heard from a friend that the ship had been sunk by a torpedo(鱼雷).
I can remember the arrival of the telegram(电报),which in those days always brought bad news. My grand- mother opened it. It read, “Safe, Love Ted.”
My most vivid memory is being woken and brought down to sit on my father’s knee, his arm in a bandage.
He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For as long as I can remember, he had a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever, he died suddenly in his early 50s.
Ten years later I read Night of the U-boats and was able to complete the story.
Torpedo
One torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room, where the third engineer was killed. He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.
By the time he got on deck (甲板) he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had stuck firm. When he tried to cut it free it swung against the ship, injuring his hand and arm. He had no choice but to jump—still with the photograph in his pocket.
Three days later, he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph.
In my room is the book and the photograph. Often, glass in hand, I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion, a sinking ship, a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for rescue? Lest(以免)we forget, I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.
小题1:We can infer(推断) that the mother and children went to Swansea ________.
A.to meet a friend
B.to see the father off
C.to take a family photo
D.to enjoy the sailing of the ship
小题2:What did the author learn about the father from the telegram?
A.he was still alive.
B.His knee was broken.
C.His ship had been sunk.
D.He had arrived in Glasgow.
小题3:What can we know about the author’s father after his ship was attacked?
