8、Terry was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career made him a depressed man, often   1   that he had been cheated by others． One day he told his wife he was so   2   with the city that he had to leave．

So his family moved to another city． It was the evening of a weekend． When Terry and his wife were busily   3   up their new home, the light suddenly   4  ． Terry was regretful to have forgotten bringing along   5   and had to wait   6   in a low mood． Just then he heard light, hesitant   7   on his door that were clearly audible (听到) in the   8   night．

“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Terry was a   9   to this city． And this was the moment he especially hated to be   10  , so he went to the door and opened it   11  ． At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have candles?

At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his   18   in life． It was his   19   and harshness (刻薄) with other people． The person who had cheated him in life was   20   nobody else but himself, for his eyes had been blurred (蒙蔽) by his unsympathetic mind．

7、Another small animal that tigers eat in Ranthambhore ( a wildlife park in northern India ) is the porcupine． There animals are spread widely across India in open areas and grsassland; they often live in the earth and between rocks． They are good diggers, and in Ranthambhore are nocurnal; they only come out only at night． They weigh 12 to 16 kilograms and can reach lenghs of 80 t0 90 centimeters． They live usually on vegetables and fruits and seem to have a good sense of smell． Porcupines defend themselves when attacked by moving backwards with their quill upright, often making a strange noise．

Several times, I have found the remains of quills where a tiger has killed and eaten a porcupine, but I have never actually seen the kill． In spite of the quills, experienced tigers will try to kill cleanly by biting the porcupine’s head, its weakest spot． But the quills are very sharp and can give painful injuries to young tigers．If the quills have gone in very deep or if they are stuck in the tiger’s paw, it will try to pull them out．Often, it will be successful, and the wound will get better, But, if the quills have gone very deep or if they are stuck in the tiger’s neck or mouth, where they cannot be reached, the wound will often turn bad． If this happens, the tiger is in pain and is less able to hunt animals． It has to look for easier food and so may turn to cows on the edges of the forest． From this, it is a small step to becoming a man-eater．

1．A porcupine is a small animal which_________________．

  A． likes to fight against tigers

2． The word ‘quills’ means __________．

  C． teeth of a porcupine                      D．feet of aporcupine

3． What causes a tiger to become a man-eater according to this passage?

  A． When there are no porcupines for a tiger to catch

  B． When a tiger isn’t  hurt seriously．

  C． When it is difficult for a tiger to catch other animals．

  D． When it turns to cows on the edges of the forest．

4． What is the proper title for this passage?

  A． A porcupine

B． How a Tiger kills a Porcupine?

  C． What Can Cause a Tiger to Become a Man-eater?

5、It was a bleak(阴冷的)，rainy day, and I drove there，tired and unwilling to go anywhere else．But my daughter had insisted that I come see something at the top of the mountain．

Turning down a narrow track，we parked the car and got out．We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles．Huge black-green overgreens(常青树) towered over．Gradually the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind．Then we turned a corner--and I stopped and gasped in amazement．

    From the top of the mountain，sloping for several acres(英亩)across fields and valleys were rivers of daffodils in radiant bloom(盛开)．Plenty of colors---from the palest ivory to the deepest lemon to the most vivid salmon(浅橙色)—blazed like a carpet before us．It looked as though the sun had tipped over and spilled gold down the mountainside．

    A riot(抑制不住)of questions filled my mind．Who created such beauty? Why? How?

    As we approached the home that stood in the center of the property, We saw a sign：ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS I KNOW YOUAREASKING．The first，answer was：ONE WOMAN

-TWO HANDS，TWO FEET AND VERY LITTLE BRAIN。The second was：ONE AT A TIME

The third：STARTED IN 1958

    That is the Daffodil Principle．For me that experience was life changing．I thought of this woman whom I had never met，who，more than forty years before，had begun--one at a time——to bring beauty and joy to an unknown mountaintop Still，just planting one bulb(球茎)at a time．year after year had changed the world．This unknown woman had forever changed the world jn which she lived．

    The principle her daffodil taught is learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time---often just one baby-step at a time—and learning to use the accumulation(积累) of time Thus we can change the world．

1．The writer went to visit the mountain            ．

    A．to realize his／her dream           B．with a good plan

    C．because of his／her daughter       D．based on his／her willing

    A．The natural beauty a11 over the mountain．

    D．The beautiful flowers across fields and valleys．

    A．show us that making plan is more important

    B．respect the woman who make the masterpiece

    C．emphasize the importance of the complete plan

4、What Is a Boy?

Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a “boy”．Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night．

Boys are found everywhere – on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to． Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them． A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket．

When you are busy, a boy is a trouble – maker and a noise． When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it．

A boy is a mixture – he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on each hand．

He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines． He is not much for Sunday schools, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime．

Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper． Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes． Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple, a three-feet rope, six cents and some unknown things．

A boy is a magical creature – he is your headache but when you come home at night with only destroyed pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “Hi, Dad!”

1．The whole passage is in a tone of _________．

C．Saturday mornings                                                                  D． Sunday schools

4．What does the writer feel about boys?

A． He feels curious about their noise．        B． He is fed up with these creatures．

C． He is amazed by their naughtiness．       D． He feels unsafe staying with them．

3、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（答案写在后面答题纸上）。

_1_ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club． It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays．

    The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club． _2_ Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless．

    Next you need some friends to be in your club with you． 3_ All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you．

    _4 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up． That’ll keep you busy for ages．

    At your first meeting you should make up a rule book． And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!

    Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards． These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them．5 Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it．

    So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!

A.      That’s easy．

B.      Enjoy your own club!

C.      Invite a designer to join you．
