三、阅读理解(每小题5 分, 共25 分)
An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came, flying and buzzing near his ear. The elephant waved it away with his long ears. Then the fly came again and the elephant waved it away once more.
This happened several times. Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can’t y ou just stay in one place?”
The fly answered, “I am interested in whatever I see, hear or smell. My five senses, and everything that happens around me, pull me here and there and I cannot resist them. What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still?”
The elephant stopped eating and said, “My five senses do not rule me. I am in control of myself — my senses do not tell me what to do. This helps me stay focused on whatever I do, and so, keep my mind calm and still. Now that I am eating, I am completely enjoying eating. In this way, I can just focus on enjoying my food.”
After hearing these words, the fly’s eyes opened wide and a smile appeared on his face. He looked at the elephant and said, “I understand! I will always be restless if I let my senses control me. On the other hand, if I try to use some self-control, my mind will become calm and I’ll be able to stay still.”
It is said that the mind is restless and pays attention to whatever is in front of it. But if you can control what you pay attention to, you can control your mind.
21. The fly thought he moved around a lot because ________.
A. he had nowhere to land
B. he couldn’t see things clearly
C. he was interested in everything around him
D. his five senses couldn’t work with each other
22. According to the elephant, what is the key to staying calm?
A. Being in control of one’s senses.
B. Enjoying eating.
C. Being able to find peace.
D. Focusing on many things at the same time.
A. The fly can resist everything that happens around him.
B. The five senses always rule the elephant.
C. The fly will be calm if the senses control him.
D. The elephant can focus on what he is doing.
24. The underlined word “resist” means “________”.
A. 见面
B. 建议
C. 抵抗
D. 交流
25. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. Stay Still and Calm

4. A
5. C
6. B
7. B 点拨：用语法判断法。

句意为“——真沉啊！我不能搬动那个袋子。

——不要担心！让我来帮助你”。

17. C 点拨：根据下文人类帮助了马可知, 此处理解为“马来到了附近的村
庄, 向村民求助”。

drive away
“赶走”; find out“发现”; give up“放弃”; eat up“吃光”。

19. D 点拨：“must live with us...”是村民向马提出的回报条件, 因此in return
“作为回报”符合故事情节。

Fight against“与……战
斗”符合故事情节。

三、【主旨大意】本文是一篇记叙文, 讲述的是一只苍蝇和一头大象的故
事。

苍蝇容易受外界的诱惑, 总是那么不安分地飞来飞去, 这让大象很不
满。

在大象看来, 正是由于自己头脑冷静, 能专注做某件事, 所以才能享
受很多乐趣。

21. C 点拨：推理判断题。

根据第三段苍蝇的叙述“I am interested in whatever
I see, hear or smell”可知, 苍蝇对所看到、听到或闻到的任何东西都感兴
趣。

由此判断, 苍蝇对周围的一切都很感兴趣。

故选C。

22. A 点拨：细节理解题。

根据第四段中的“I am in control of myself — my
senses do not tell me what to do. This helps me stay focused on whatever I do, and so, keep my mind calm and still.”可知, 大象能控制自己, 不随意受感官控制, 这有助于自己保持头脑冷静和平静。

故选A。

23. D
24. C 点拨：词义猜测题。

根据前面的“pull me here and there”“引着我到
处去”可猜测应该是我没法抵抗。

故选C。

25. D。
