四、阅读理解 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。（共18小题；每小题2分，计36分）
A
An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came, buzzing (嗡嗡声)
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 you 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 in all directions and I cannot resist (抵抗) 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 I am eating, and 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. But 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.
51. Which word is closest in meaning to “still”?
A. Noisy. B. Calm. C. Restless. D. Interested.

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
53. According to the elephant, what is the key to staying calm?
A. Being in control of one’s senses.
B. Focusing on many things at the same time.
C. Being able to find peace. D. Being fond of eating. 54. What does the story teach us?
A. We should stay still and calm.
B. We should control what we pay attention to.
C. We should pay attention to our feelings. D. We should focus on more than one thing.

There were two tribes (部落) of people in the Andes – one that lived in the lowlands and the
other high in the mountains. The mountain people attacked the lowlanders one day, and as part of
their attack, they took a lowlander baby with them back up into the mountains.
The lowlanders didn’t know how to climb the mountain. They didn’t know any of the trails
(路径) that the mountain people used, and they didn’t know where to find the mountain people or
how to find them. Even so, they sent out their best fighters to climb the mountain and bring the
baby home.
The men tried to climb the mountain. They tried one trail, then the next, and then another.
After several days, they had climbed only several hundred feet. Feeling hopeless, they decided
that the cause was lost and they prepared to return to their village below.
As they were getting ready to go back down the mountain, they saw the baby’s mother
walking toward them. They realized that she was coming down the mountain that they hadn’t
figured out how to climb. Then they saw that she had the baby on her back. How could that be?
One man went up to her and said, “We couldn’t climb this mountain. How did you do this
when we, the strongest and most able men in the village, couldn’t do it?” She shrugged (耸肩) and
said, “It wasn’t your baby.”
55. What was the lowland fighters’ task?
A. To find more trails up the mountain.
B. To teach the mountain people a lesson.
C. To secretly attack the mountain people.
D. To take the baby back from the mountain people.
56. The fighters decided to go back to their village because ________.
A. they were out of food B. their village was attacked again
C. they failed to climb the mountain D. they saw a woman with the baby
57. How might the fighters have felt after seeing the mother with her baby?
A. Surprised. B. Hopeless.
C. Worried. D. Satisfied.
58. What is the theme of the story?
A. The importance of learning. B. A mother’s love for her baby.
C. Men have little love for babies. D. Men are not as strong as women.

I go to the barber's (理发店) once a month. I don't like very short hair, so my barber doesn't
cut off much. I have known him for almost four years, so when I go there, we always talk a lot. He
tells me all his news and I tell him all mine. He meets a lot of interesting people in his shop and he
talks to most of them, so he always has a lot of news for me.
Every year my barber goes to France for his holidays. When he comes back to England, he
has a lot of interesting news. While he is cutting my hair, he tells me about beautiful old cities and
little villages, as well as strange food and drinks and many other things. I sit there and listen to the
old man with open ears. One minute, my barber's chaff is a seat in a French train, and the next

breaking into the 2024 Paris Olympic Games!
Breaking might be one of the very strange sports to be added to the Games, as it's often seen

The dance style first appeared on the streets of New York in the 1970s. In the 1980s, breaking
swept around the world when it was adopted (釆用)by pop stars such as Michael Jackson. Young
people worldwide were crazy about such kind of dance style.
Over the past few years, there has been a talk that the Olympic Games have become less
interesting to young people. The IOC is trying to make the Games more "youthful", with sports

pictures will help them remember the moment However, according to Henke research, it, s not
true that taking pictures will be good for people's memories.
