But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon.The man continued to watch the butterfly 65 he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would become larger and be able to fly.

Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid(流体) from its body must be forced into its wings, and then it would be 67 for flying. It must have a hard struggle (拼搏) to get through the small opening to get its 68 from the cocoon.Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.

Mr. Cousins, however, refused to give up hope.Mr. Cousins thought that the illness could be caused by unhappy thoughts. He did not want to take medicine to cure(治愈) himself. Instead, he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness.He began to experiment on himself while still in the hospital by watching comedy shows on television. Mr. Cousins quickly found that ten minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain-free sleep at night .Mr. Cousins left the hospital and checked into a hotel room where he could continue his experiments with laughter. For eight days, Mr.Cousins rested in the hotel room watching comedy shows on television, reading amusing books and sleeping whenever he felt tired. Within three weeks, he felt well enough to take a vacation to Puerto Rico where he began running on the beach for exercise.A few months, Mr. Cousins was able to carry on his work.

Answer the questions.Honey(蜂蜜) from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bee's nest(巢) and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper — a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax(蜂蜡) in the beehives(蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it.

Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn't give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3, 000 students in his lifetime.Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His mostimportant teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person sh ould be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he said.32. Confucius learned music, history, poetry and sports ________ as a child.A. by teaching himself at homeB. with the help of his motherC. by going to schoolD. by visiting many famous teacher33.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passageA. All study but no thinking makes people puzzled.B. No one has something worthy to be learned.C. All thinking but no study makes people lazy.D. A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.BProgress means the act of going forward. Making any kind ofprogress can make us healthy and happy in life. By setting and actively working towards our goals, we can make progress in our life.To make more progress in life, start looking at problems in a different way. Whatever happens, if we think positively, we can make more progress and become stronger.Having confidence (信心) is helpful for us to make progress. Confidence comes from different places, such as proper education. Slow progress is still progress. Just as the old saying goes, “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as yo u do not stop.” Progress usually comes a lot more slowly than we expect. Even if progress is slow, try not to be worried. One important thing is that we keep taking steps towards our goals.The road to progress is not always smooth. Most progress often comes with setbacks along the way. Sometimes, maybe it feels like we’re taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won’t always be like that. Keep going towards our goals and we can much more easily make the progress we want.Progress doesn’t always happen in a straight line. As long as we keep working, we will achieve higher levels.36.

Keys to Speeding up ProgressC. Meanings of Having ConfidenceD. Suggestions on Relationships CFeel sad Hug a tree! Recently, many Chinese young people turn to trees to help with their problems. Maybe it sounds strange, but there’s a scien ce behind the tree-hugging.The “biophilia hypothesis (亲生命假说)” tells us the reason. It was from US scientist Edward Wilson in 1984. He said that our humans (人类) are born to love being around other living things. Humans’ love for nature (自然) is “in our DNA”. This idea helps us knowabout why people choose green, natural places instead of city views. It’s also one of the reasons why people love cute pets. Some studies show why tree-hugging can help with our health. A study in 2021 reported that the activity can increase oxytocin (催产素). It has something to do with our feelings. The higher the level (水平) of oxytocin is, the happier you may be. Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can bring more oxytocin in our body.What’s more, when a person is angry, sad or very anxious, more cortisol (皮质醇) come out. Hugging trees helps make cortisol less and less, which makes us feel better.The activity is helpful to us, but it’s important to remember that we shouldn’t hurt nature when doing it. Trees are important because many small animals live on the trees. You may want to be gentle when hugging trees — just like how you hug a friend!36. What do people love according to Paragraph 2A People love planting trees. B. People like living in modern cities.C. People like doing exercise.D. People love staying in green places.37. What does the word increase in Paragraph 3 meanA. make something moreB. make something lessC. make something betterD. make something worse38. According to the article, which of the following is trueA. We should plant more trees for the small animals.B. We may feel sadder with a lower level of cortisol.C. Hugging friends is much better than hugging trees.D. We may be happier with a higher level of oxytocin.39. How does this article show its idea① By telling a story. ② By using numbers.③ By giving reasons. ④ By showing some studies.A. ①②③B. ①②④C. ②③④D. ①②③④40. What does the article mainly tell usA. We should not hurt trees and animals in nature.B. There are many ways to feel happy and relaxed.C. We should plant more trees to have green views.D. Hugging trees in the right way helps us feel better.三、任务型阅读（满分10分）ADo you know about space vegetables Have you ever eaten them Some people worry about eating space vegetables.

I decided to give it a try,” Chen told China Youth Daily. It was really hard to stay on the board at first, but Chen found it very interesting. “Every time I did some difficult skills, I felt the joy of making breakthroughs (突破),” said Chen.Gradually, Chen needed a better skatepark (滑板场) for training. To meet the need, his father decided to make a skate bowl himself. “He would work on it late into the night, sometimes until three or four in the morning,” said Chen. “I’m really thankful for my father’ssupport.”As a junior high school student, Chen needs to find a balance (平衡) between his study and skateboarding.
