（A）
Have you ever seen a windsock(风向袋) blowing in the wind? Well, you can make one of your own! This is a fun game that you can do with things you may have at home. You just need to follow a few easy steps.
You will need:
● one piece of colored paper ● five ribbons(丝带)
● strong tape ● a string(绳) ● a pencil
What to do:
Step 1: Draw pictures on the paper. You can write your name on it. Do
anything that will make it special to you.
Step 2: Make the paper into the shape of a tube(管子).Then stick the tube
together at each end and in the middle with a strong tape.
Step 3:Use a pencil to make a hole into both sides of the tube. The holes should be only on one end of the tube. Pull the string through both holes. Then tie(系) the ends of the string together.
Step 4: Now make five holes around the top of the other end of the tube. Put a ribbon through each of the holes. Tie a knot(结) in the ends. Make sure the knots are bigger than the holes.
Now your windsock is ready to use, but how does it work? The shape of the tube plays an important part. Wind blows through the tube and makes it fly and dance around. Hold the windsock up in the air by its string and run around. It will fly behind you. Now you can enjoy watching it dance around on its own! ( )46. Which of these things do you need for Step 2?
A. Tape.
B. Ribbons.
C. A pencil.
D. A string.
( )47. What do you do after you put ribbons through the holes in the tube?
A. Make holes in the tube.
B. Tape the tube together.
C. Tie knots in the ribbons.
D. Put a string through the hole.
( )48. What is the main purpose(目的) of this article?
A. To tell an interesting story.
B. To show how to make a windsock.
C. To teach an important lesson.
D. To show what a windsock is like.
(B)
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(出现), and the butterfly tried to let its body come through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress(进步). 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(残余的) 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 kept watching the butterfly because he hoped 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 (拼搏) 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.
( )49. What was the butterfly doing at the beginning of the story?
A . It was crawling around quietly on the ground.
B . It was flying among the trees in the forest.
C . It was trying to make a cocoon for itself.
D . It was struggling to get out of its cocoon.
( )50. 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
( )51. What do you think of the man?
A . Patient but cruel(残忍的).
B . Careful and wise(明智的).
C . Kind but unwise.
D . Brave and funny.
C

As they rode home,Anne talked on and on.Normally,too much talking would make Matthew
angry,but from Anne,he didn't mind(介意).She apologized but Matthew didn't want her to stop.

There was nothing for Mary to do in the house, so every day she walked in the gardens. She did this before breakfast, and the fresh air made her hungry. She was so hungry that she even ate the porridge and enjoyed it. After breakfast, Mary walked in the gardens and on the moor. She spent most of her time outdoors and began to feel healthier and happier than she had felt for a very long time.
One day, she walked around the wall without a door. Suddenly, she heard a bird singing. She looked up, and the robin was sitting on a branch that hung over the wall. She was pleased to see the bird and talked to it. “You live in that garden, don’t you?” she said. “But no one can go in because there isn’t a door. I want to know what’s behind this wall.”
The next morning, when Martha brought her breakfast, she asked, “Martha, why isn’t there a door in the wall of one of the gardens?”
“I don’t know for certain,” Martha answered, “but the story is that when Mr. Craven married, he and his young wife were very happy. They used to spend a lot of their time together in that garden reading and talking. Then one day, a branch of a tree fell down and hit Mr. Craven’s wife on the head. The next day she died.”
“Oh, that is such a sad story,” Mary said.
As she was thinking these things, she heard a cry. “What was that?” she asked Martha.
Quickly, Martha answered, “Just the wind.”
“No, it wasn’t,” Mary said. “It did not sound like the wind. And I heard a door shut somewhere.”
“If it wasn’t the wind,” Martha answered, “then it was Betty in the kitchen. She has a toothache.” Mary looked at Martha and thought, “She isn’t telling me the truth. She knows something she doesn’t want me to know.
56. When did Mary usually walk in the gardens? _______________________.
57. Where did Mary think the robin lived? ____________________________.
58. What did Mr. Craven and his wife use to spend their time doing? _____________________.
