阅读理解

    I sat down to read under an old tree in the park. I felt my life was hopeless. I didn't take an interest in anything. I thought that my whole world was dark.

    A young boy ran up to me, out of breath. He stood right before me with his head down and said excitedly, "Look what I found! In his hand was a flower, and what a poor sight! The flower was dry and dead. I gave him a small smile and then turned my eyes away so that he could take his dry flower and go off to play. I didn't want to talk with him at all.

    However, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and said in surprise, "It smells sweet and it's beautiful, too. That's why I picked it. Here, it's for you. "The flower before me was dead. But I knew I must accept it, or he might never leave. So I received the flower, and replied, "This is just what I want, thank you." Just then, for the first time I noticed that the boy was blind.

    Tears came down my face when I thanked him for picking the best one. "You're welcome." he smiled, and then ran off to play. I sat there and wanted to know how he was able to learn about my pain (痛苦).

    Through the eyes of a blind child, finally I could see the problem was not with the world. The problem was me. And for all those years I myself had been blind. In fact I never found there is always something beautiful around me in life. I decided to see the beauty in life, and enjoy every second of my life. And then I held that dry flower up to my nose and breathed the smell of a beautiful rose.

One day, a little boy asked his father, "What does the word "great' mean? Who are great people and 1 do they become great?"

The father asked his son to bring two plants and then told him to plant one of them2 the house and the other outside the house. The boy did as his father said.

The father asked his son, "Which one of the two plants do you think will be3 ? The boy replied, "The plant inside the house will grow bigger 4 it is safer, while the plant outside the house is not safe at all. No one will be there to 5 the plant. Animals may eat it. "

The father smiled and said, "Let's wait 6 We will know the answer."

Then the boy left for study and after four 7 he came back to his house. He said to his father, "Look, 8 happens to this plant inside the house and it is safe."

When the boy went outside, he was very 9 to see a big tree. The boy couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't10 how the plant outside was able to grow much bigger than the one inside. "The plant outside the house faced every 11 and many difficulties!" the father told his son why the plant outside was bigger. "The plant inside was safe. It didn't12 weather changes. And it didn't get enough 13 , so it didn't become big."

How to be great? Here's the 14 : To become a great person, one must have 15 many times, faced many difficulties and solved those difficulties. Only after that he is able to become great.

 根据短文内容,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个能填入相应空格内的最佳答案,并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。

A long time ago, there was an apple tree. A little kid enjoyed playing around it and taking a rest under it. Also, he wanted to pick some apples from the tree. As a 5-year-old boy, he was short so he 1 to climb to the top of the tree to get the apples and ate them. He really had fun playing with the tree. He loved the tree and the tree loved him at that time.

Time went by. The boy 2 and he didn't play with the tree. One day, the boy came back to the tree. "Come and play with me." the tree said.

"I dislike playing around the tree now. I want toys. Toys are more interesting for me. I need money to buy them."

"I don't have money, but you can pick my apples and sell them." The boy was happy and climbed the tree and picked all the apples 3 the tree and left.

After a long time, the boy was already a man. He was much taller than before. He could touch the branches (树枝) of the tree 4 without climbing up. He came back to the tree. "I need a house for my family."

"You can cut my branches to build one." 5 the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left. He didn't come back. The tree missed him so much and felt sad.

On a hot day, the boy came back after many years. "Sorry, my boy. I have 6 for you. I'm old." "I just need a place to rest. I am 7 after all these years." The boy sat down and the tree smiled with tears (泪水).

The tree is like our 8 . When we are young, we love to play with them. When we grow up, we leave them, and we only come to them when we need something or when we have 9 . You may think the boy is cruel (残忍的) to the tree but that's 10 we treat (对待) our parents.

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A 、B 、C 、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Yang Hongwei born in 1966.is a keeper of the Weifang kite-making skill.Born into a kite-making family.Yang often saw kites with bright colours and different shapes in her grandfather's workshop.

Yang learned the skill from her grandfather at the age of 16.After practising the skill for 10 years,she started her own shop in 1992

"Many places around the world have a tradition of flying kites."Yang said."But I think the cultural background behind our kites is unique."

On Yang's kites, people can see not only common designs like butterflies and birds,but also some prints telling Chinese history.For example.she once made a kite showing a phoenix(凤凰)that was lined with portraits(肖像)of 50 famous women from Chinese history on each side.

Yang said that each woman is different in look,clothes and make-up style.To create their portraits,she made lots of effort to check historical records and talk about details with experts.

"It took me a lot of time,"Yang said,"but when I explain the stories of the kites to foreign people,I feel a great sense of achievement."

In her free time,she travels to different countries including Germany,Australia,the United States and New Zealand to tell people stories of Chinese kites and the traditional ways they are made."It is an important job of mine to spread our heritage(遗产)around the world and onto our children,"she said.

阅读短文,回答问题

①Are you tired of people asking the questions, "What's your hobby?" Well, you always hear the same old answers: reading, listening to music, painting and so on. There's nothing wrong with these activities, but maybe it's time for some new ideas. 

②For example, how about "yarn bombing"? What's that? Maybe you have heard of knitting(编织) to make sweaters, scarves, gloves and other things. With yarn bombing, people knit different kinds of things, like sweaters for trees or hats for the stones in the park. It's the latest form of artwork. In some cities, people are even paying knitters to decorate public places with their art. Some call it "Knitting Graffiti(涂鸦), " but unlike other forms of graffiti, it is easy to take away, and it doesn't destroy anything. 

③Do you like those TV shows in which the police use science to solve crimes? If you do, you can take up "forensic science" as a hobby. That's the science used to find crimes. You can get a set of at-home fingerprint tools and find out who is taking cookies from the cookie box or perhaps who is reading your secret diary. 

④Finally, here's a hobby for those who want to have fun and make a little money. It's called "upcycling". You've heard of recycling —you put things like glass, paper and plastic in special boxes so the materials can be used again. Upcyclers take old things and make them into new things. Sometimes they can even sell the things they make. For example, you can take an old book bag, clean it up and decorate it. It will look like a cool new bag. There's even a magazine called Upcycle that is full of ideas. All you need for this is an old thing and a good imagination. 

⑤So look around for a new and interesting hobby. Then when someone asks you the question "What's your hobby?" you can give them an answer that they've never heard before.
