After a little snowstorm yesterday I began to think of what snowflakes had to offer other than nice scenery and dangerous road conditions.From the way they fall,to the way they look,snowflakes have some similarities with our life.Here are some life lessons these little white ice crystals have to offer.
Be unique
Every snowflake has its own shape and look.So should you!Accept yourself and be yourself.Everyone is different and should remain that way.
Work with others
One flake doesn’t fall during a storm,millions do.As they build up and stick together,they accomplish a lot.Billions of them can become inches,maybe even feet tall and blanket miles upon miles.If you want to achieve success and change your life,you will need help from others eventually.
You can be small but powerful
Snowflakes are very small but very powerful.They’re extremely delicate but can shut down whole cities and states.You may be weak physically but mentally you can be strong.
Take your time
Unless wind is pushing them,snowflakes usually take their time to get to their destination.Don’t rush through life;it’s the journey that’s important,not the destination.
Divert_away_from your planned route
Most snow flakes are supposed to land on the ground and may be headed that way when they’re falling.But sometimes they land in trees,lakes,or the street.They go with the flow and are very flexible.It’s great if you have planned out your time and life,but events are going to throw those off course.So be flexible and let certain events take you for a ride.
Bring happiness and enjoyment to others
At times snow can be extremely dangerous,but think about how many times snow has made people happy and joyful.Just the sight of a fresh blanket of snow makes people feel good.You should do the same,make people happy to see and talk to you.Don’t be unhappy because you’ll bring those around you down.
Life is short
Snowflakes don’t last that long.Frequently they melt the instant they hit the ground,but they’ve had an interesting journey.Cherish your life and every minute you have.
1.What is the best title of the passage?
A.The advice from snowflakes
B.Life lessons from snowflakes
C.Enjoy the nice scenery of snowflakes
D.Snowflakes,small but powerful
2.The underlined part “Divert away from” probably means “________”.
A.switch away from B.stick to

3.According to the writer,if you have a low spirit________.
A.those around you will laugh at you
B.those around you will not be willing to help you
C.those around you will be depressed
D.you can not enjoy the fresh blanket of snow
4.Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A.Every one needs help from others to achieve success eventually.
B.You’ll achieve great success even if you are weak physically.
C.Cherish your life and every minute you have.
D.If you rush through life,you’ll get to the best destination.
5.From the passage we may learn that the writer________.
A.enjoys snowflakes and has the habit of thinking about snowflakes
B.has learned many lessons from snowflakes in his life
C.intends to teach us some life lessons in terms of snowflakes
D.is living a much happier life after the careful observation of snowflakes

The largest bird that cannot fly also happens to be the largest living bird in the world.This is the huge North African ostrich.When the male,or cock,is fully grown,he reaches a height nearly eight feet and many weigh close to three hundred pounds.His wings are very small and the wing feathers are very soft,and therefore he does not fly.
You have probably heard the old saying about “the foolish ostrich burying his head in the sand”.Well,the ostrich is not nearly as foolish as he is said to be.In the daytime,when the hen is sitting on the eggs,she does not want to be seen;instead of sticking her long neck up into the air,she bends her neck and head down and presses flat along the sand.That way,she can best protect the eggs and herself.
Because the ostrich cannot fly up into the air to escape from danger on the ground,he has to remain alert at all times.Luckily,he has very sharp eyesight and hearing.As the lives in the desert and open plains,he can stop danger in time to run away.The ostrich can run so fast that it almost seems as if he was flying.
Sometimes,when a person has a small appetite,we say that he “eats like a bird”.That bird is definitely not the ostrich!An ostrich will eat anything under the sun.When an ostrich died in a zoo,scientists cut it open to see what he had eaten.Here are some of the things found in the bird’s stomach:three pieces of wood,part of a film roll,a nail,a screw,a French coin,three handkerchiefs,four pennies,part of a chain and eighteen pieces of wire.
6.Which would be the best title of the passaage?
A.Ostriches—Largest Brids that cannot Fly
B.Bird Life
C.The Foolish Ostriches
D.The Things in the Stomach of an Ostrich
7.The ostriches bury their heads in the sand because________.
A.they are too lazy to do anything
B.they are very shy
C.they can avoid being attacked
D.they like to relax themselves by doing so
8.“An ostrich will eat anything under the sun.” means________.
A.an ostrich will eat everything when the sun shines
B.an ostrich won’t eat anything if the sun hasn’t risen
C.an ostrich likes to eat under the sun
D.anything on the earth is what the ostrich eats
9.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?
A.An ostrich can fly up into the air if there is a sudden danger,but not too high.
B.An ostrich eats almost all kinds of things.
C.An ostrich usually lives in the desert and open plains.
D.An ostrich can run fast just like flying.
10.When we say “Someone eats like a bird.”,we mean________.
A.he eats too much B.he is a bird
C.he eats only a little D.he likes eating a bird
答案:
Ⅰ.单项填空
1.B 根据题意“声音太大,我受不了”可知要求“把声音调小”,故用turn down调低音量。
2.A 句意为:即使你是一位有经验的老师,有时也可能会出错。can在这里表示“可能性”。
3.B 句意为:政府会迫使公司采取任何可能的措施来减少空气污染。adopt采用;采纳;收养;adjust调整;适应;adapt适应;改写;accept接受。
4.A 句意为:废料能够被回收制成新产品,反过来这也将节省自然资源。in turn意为“反过来;轮流”;above all意为“最重要,首先”;by chance意为“偶然,意外地”;at least意为“至少”。
5.C live在本句中意为“现场直播的”,living与alive都有“活着的”之意,lively活泼的,有生气的。句意为:我喜欢他们的音乐,但从未看过他们的现场表演。
6.A develop an interest in sth.指“养成对某事的兴趣”。
7.C 句意为:Lydia非常后悔中学时就辍学了。因为那个决定,她为了谋生不得不非常努力地奋斗。“后悔做过某事”用regret doing。
8.C 本句意为:“我被告知运动会可能推迟了。”“是的,那取决于天气。”put off意为“推迟”;put away意为“收起来,储蓄”;put out意为“熄灭”;put up意为“举起”。
9.C 本句意为:史密斯先生被一连串不幸的事险些击垮。a series of意为“一连串,一系列”;a range of意为“一列(山脉)”;a variety of意为“各种各样的”;a list of意为“名单、名册”。
10.D 句意为:有限的自然资源应当被充分利用以满足日益增长的能源需求。to meet是不定式作目的状语,increasing是现在分词作定语,表示日益增长的需求。
11.D realize是及物动词,梦想被实现,过去分词构成被动结构,come true不能用被动语态和进行时。
12.B 考查devote和consider的用法。前一部分考查devote...to doing sth.句式。后一部分中的consider后面接了主语补足语,所以用不定式作补语。整个句子的意思为:Jenny Bowen在过去的十年中用在帮助孤儿身上的精力一直被认为是很有价值的。
13.A tell by...从……可以看出。
14.C “the rest of+名词”结构要求何种动词形式应由名词的数形而定。若名词是单数形式,则一般用单数动词;若名词是复数形式,则一般用复数动词。
15.A aim此处用做名词。to provide...作表语。由于and连接两个并列的动词,可排除C、D两项。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】 本文作者通过将人和雪花进行对比,告诉大家一些人生道理。例如:人像雪花一样独一无二;雪花需要许多片聚在一起才能落下来,而人也需要相互合作,方能取得大的成功等。
1.B 通读全文可知,作者借助雪花告诉读者一些人生的道理,因此B项正确。
2.A从该部分内容中的be flexible可知,作者此处想要告诉大家,人要像雪花一样,学会变通,而不能抱住既定的计划不变,要学会灵活处理突发情况。由此可推知,A项与画线部分的意思相近。此处switch表示“转变,转换”。
3.C 根据Bring happiness and enjoyment to others部分的最后一句内容可知,如果你情绪低落,就会使周围的人感到沮丧。
4.D 根据Take your time部分的最后一句话可知,D项与原文内容不符,作者此处劝告大家人生的路上不必太匆忙,因为重要的是旅途,而不是目的地。其他几项在原文中都能找到依据。
5.C 通读全文可知,作者是要通过雪花给大家讲一些人生的道理。
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文,介绍的是世界上最大的鸟——鸵鸟,阐述了鸵鸟为什么不会飞,以及它们的一些生活习性。
6.A 主旨大意题。综观全文可以看出,本文介绍的是鸵鸟为什么不能飞以及它的其他特性。
7.C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段可知答案为C。
8.D 句意理解题。从最后一段中对鸵鸟的解剖可以看出鸵鸟可以吃地上的任何东西。
9.A 细节判断题。由倒数第二段的第一句话可以判断A项描述错误。
10.C 推理判断题。由最后一段的介绍来看,鸵鸟的饭量很大,因此说某人吃饭像只鸟,绝不是像鸵鸟。可见本句话指的是这个人吃的很少,故答案为C。把握句子That bird is definitely not the ostrich的意思是解决此题的关键所在。
