Do you know why Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists ever born, had his tongue(舌头) out? Many people have asked the question. Some people think it is a photoshopped one.The thing is, the shot was taken on Einstein’s 72nd birthday on March 14, 1951. Einstein, Dr Frank Aydelotte (the director of the Institute for Advanced Study from 1939 till 1947), and Mrs Aydelotte, were on their way out of an awards ceremony(颁奖仪式) in honour of Einstein. Although Einstein had sat on the back seat of a car between Dr Frank Aydelotte and Mrs Aydelotte, the reporters and photographers kept following him. Einstein said, “That’s enough! That’s enough!” However, they kept on asking questions and taking photos of him. Arthur Sasse walked up close to the car and said, “Professor, smile for your birthday picture.” Einstein was very tired, but he responded with a sense of humour (幽默). He had his tongue out. At that moment, Arthur Sasse took a photo.Actually, it was a photo of the three people in the car. Einstein liked the photo very much, so he cut the head with his tongue from the original (原本的) photo. And he used it for greeting cards which he sent to his friends.( )31. This famous photo was taken _______.A. after an awards ceremonyB. when Einstein was driving a carC. when Einstein was walking to a carD. on Einstein’s way to an awards ceremony( )32.

To tell us the story behind a famous photo.D. To describe what kind of person Einstein was.COnce upon a time, there was a happy monkey in the forest, eating delicious fruit when hungry and resting when tired.One day he got up very early and came upon a house, where he saw a bowl of the most beautiful apples he had ever seen. He took one in each hand and ran back into the forest. He sniffed the apples but smelled nothing. He tried to eat them but hurt his teeth. The apples were made of wood, but they were beautiful. When he saw other monkeys, he held onto them even tighter (牢牢地). The little monkey took great pride in his apples. He loved them so much that he didn’t even notice his hunger(饥饿) at first. A fruit tree reminded(提醒) him about it, but he didn’t want to put down the wooden apples. In fact, he couldn’t relax, either. He couldn’t climb trees to get fruit with his hands full, so a proud but less happy monkey kept walking around.What if he just let go? Letting go of such valuable things seemed crazy, but what else could he do? He was so tired. Seeing the next fruit tree, he dropped the wooden apples to have breakfast. He became happy again.Like that little monkey, we sometimes carry things that seem too ▲ to let go. If the monkey hadn’t let the wooden apples go, he might have been found dead of hunger, under a beautiful fruit tree, with his wooden apples in his hands.( )36. The story probably took place _______.A. in the morningB. in the afternoonC. in the eveningD. during the night( )37. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A. The house.B. The monkey’s hunger.C. The monkey’s pride.D. The fruit on the tree.( )38. From the passage we can learn that the monkey _______.A. died of hunger at lastB. valued the wooden apples very muchC. didn’t let the wooden apples go all the timeD. wanted to share the wooden apples with other monkeys( )39. Which of the following can be put in ▲ ?A. smallB. dangerousC. sillyD. valuable( )40. What does the writer want to tell us by telling the story?A. Seeing is believing.B. Accidents will happen.C. Sometimes we have to learn to let go.D. Whatever difficulties we face, we should never give up.DOne day, a boy found the cocoon (茧) of a butterfly and brought it home. A few days later, the boy saw a small hole in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as the butterfly struggled (挣扎) to make its body through that little hole. Suddenly it stopped.So the boy decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and cut the hole bigger. The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it looked a little different. It had a weak body and small, thin wings. The butterfly didn’t start to fly. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a weak body and thin wings. It was never able to fly.The boy acted with kindness but he didn’t understand why it could be like this. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of getting out of the cocoon makes the fluid (液体) from the butterfly’s body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be ready to fly. If the butterfly never has to squeeze (挤压) itself out of the cocoon, its wings will never get the fluid and it can never fly.Sometimes struggles are what we need in our lives. If we lived our lives without any problems, we would never learn or grow. We would not be as strong as we could have been and we would never fly.In our lives, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, and sometimes even represents growth, withoutit, there’s no way of life. We can’t avoid difficulties or problems. So, next time you are faced with a problem or difficulty, remember the butterfly. Struggle a little — thenfly!( )41. 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.( )42.The boy cut the hole bigger to .A. help the butterfly flyB. make the butterfly come out easilyC. kill the butterflyD. stop the butterfly from flying freely( )43.What do you think of the boy?A. Clever but careless.B. Careful and wise.C. Kind but unwise.D. Brave and funny.( )44.What do the last two paragraphs 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 good result.D. The greatest happiness in the world is to help others.( )45.What is the best title for the story?A. The Love for the CocoonB. The Joy of Helping Each OtherC. The Lesson of the CocoonD. The Expectation for the Butterfly四. 还原型阅读(每小题2分，共10分)阅读短文，根据其内容，从方框中选择正确的选项完成短文。
