This small type of mantis can be found across Africa. They are very small and can grow only up to 2 inches long. They come in various colors: several shades of brown and greenish gray. In fact, most parts of their body look like leaves that have dried up. They live for up to two years.Green plant-hopperAlso called the torpedo bug, this beautiful animal feeds on plants and looks like a leaf. When they are at rest, their green wings cover their bodies much like a sloping roof (有坡度的屋顶). They are usually small, with a length of half an inch. They are native to Australia but they can now be found in Hawaii and New Zealand as well.Stick insectThey actually look more like a eucalyptus twig (桉树枝). They have long and thin bodies but they can also fly. They can grow up to 12 inches long. These animals are natives of the southern part of Australia. They have made the woodlands of New South Wales and Victoria home.Leafy sea dragonWhen you take a close look at them, you will realize that they are fish like the seahorses. Under the water, they look like floating seaweed. They have leaf-like body parts that are not used for moving under the water. What they use to move arefins (鳍状物), difficult to see, making the leafy sea dragon look more like the plant it imitates. A fully grown leafy sea dragon grows to about 18 inches long. They are usually found in the ocean waters of Australia.24. The underlined part "make our jaws drop" in the first paragraph means “”.A. hurt usB. amaze usC. frighten usD. entertain us25.

However, if you were a kid that had to clean the house for extra (额外的) money, you' ll understand how important it is.When I was a kid, I knew my parents could afford whatever I wanted, but Dad made me work for things that were "wants". I knew Dad always carried a lot of change in his pockets. He had taught me that enough pennies (便士) would still get me what I wanted in the end.Dad had his favorite reclining chair (躺椅) in his room where he would go after a long day at work. When he reclined in the chair, the change would fall from his pockets onto the floor under the chair, which was really a good chance for me to collect pennies. I'm sure he realized he had empty pockets when he took his clothes off, but he never said anything and never stopped sitting in the chair.My kids learned early that change worked just as well as dollars and they also knew their dad saw no value in change. In fact, he saw it as a pain-in-the-neck so instead of asking him for money, they always asked if they could have his change.Whenever I see a penny on a floor, I always pick it up. They've come in handy over the years, like at the check stand when someone needs a penny to check out, or my children are twelve cents short of their bus fare -- little things, but important things.32. Why is loose change ignored at present according to the author?A. Because people find it is of no use.B. Because loose change is often noisy.C. Because loose change isn't easy to carry.D. Because people' s lives have improveda lot.33. Why did the author's father ask her to work for her own "wants"?A. To help her earn a lot of money.B. To tell her that pennies add up.C. To save enough money for future use.D. To let her know it was hard to earn money.34. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that the author's father .A. didn't care about loose changeB. taught the author a good lessonC. was really a hard-working personD. was too tired to look after his child35. The underlined word "pain-in-the-neck" means that the author' s husband .A. was really richB. was very generousC. had a problem with his neckD. paid little attention to changeIII．完型填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，共30分）Life hasn't always been easy!
