Butterfly world, the largest free flying park for butterflies in a beautiful garden in South Africa, opened its doors to the public in November 1996.The idea began in the UK and such parks can be found in countries throughout the world.Each year these parks are visited by thousands of visitors and now thanks to the efforts made by two women from Capetonian, South Africans now have the chance to experience nature at its best.

Butterflies world welcomes visitors to take photos or videos of these beauties.Drinks and

 light meals are served from our restaurant,and there are many butterfly goods in the shop.

Inside the show house,you can learn about the life cycle of a butterfly, and if visitors are lucky,they might see a baby butterfly coming out of its pupa(蛹).

One day, a man found the cocoon (繭) of a butterfly and he brought it home.
A few days later, the man saw a small hole in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it stopped.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a knife and cut a bigger hole in the cocoon. The butterfly came out of the cocoon but 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(爬行) around with a weak body and thin wings. It was never able to fly.
The man acted with kindness but he didn’t understand that he had done something wrong. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of getting out of the cocoon forces the fluid(液體) from the butterfly’s body into wings. It helps the butterfly be ready to fly. If the butterfly never has to force itself out of the cocoon, its wings never get the fluid and it can never fly.
Sometimes struggles are exactly 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.
So, the next time you are faced with a challenge or a problem, remember the butterfly.
Struggle a little – then fly!
【小題1】Why did the man cut a bigger hole in the cocoon?
A.To catch the butterfly easily.
B.To play with the butterfly.
C.To help the butterfly come out.
D.To make the butterfly stronger.
【小題2】What happened after the butterfly got out of the cocoon?
A.It died soon.
B.It had a strong body and wings.
C.It could fly after a few days.
D.It couldn’t fly during the rest of its life.
【小題3】Why couldn’t the butterfly fly?  Because ___________ .
A.it got out of its cocoon without struggle
B.nobody had taught it to fly
C.a(chǎn)ll newborn butterflies could not fly
D.the man broke its wings
【小題4】What does the writer want to tell us?
A.Kindness in our lives can help us grow.
B.Try to be ready to help others.
C.Without other’s help we can still succeed.
D.Hard work leads to success.
【小題5】Which is the best title for the passage?

科目:初中英語 來源:2013-2014學年江蘇省鹽城市九年級3月月考英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

 (One day Alice runs after a strange rabbit and comes into a deep hole. She becomes smaller when she wakes up the next day. She finds herself in a wonderland with many amazing things inside.)   

The Caterpillar(毛毛蟲) and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence. At last the Caterpillar took the pipe out of its mouth, and said to her in a tired, sleepy voice.   

“Who are YOU?” said the Caterpillar.

This opening for a talk couldn’t make Alice at ease. Alice replied, rather shyly, “I----I hardly know, sir, just at present ----at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.”

“What do you mean by that?” said the Caterpillar, “Explain yourself!”

“I can’t explain MYSELF. I’m afraid, sir.” said Alice, “because I’m not myself, you see.”

“I don’t see.” said the Caterpillar.

“I’m afraid I can’t put it more clearly.” Alice replied very politely, “for I can’t understand it myself. And being so many different sizes in a day is very puzzling.”

“It isn’t.” said the Caterpillar.

“Well, perhaps you haven’t found it so yet.” said Alice. “But when you have to turn into a chrysalis(蛹,繭)----you will some day, you know ----and then after that into a butterfly, I think you’ll feel it a little stranger, won’t you?”

“Not a bit.” said the Caterpillar.

“Well, perhaps your feelings may be different.” said Alice. “All I know is, it would make ME feel very strange.”

“You!” said the Caterpillar scornfully(鄙視地). “Who are YOU?” The question brought them back again to the beginning of the talk. Alice felt a little angry because the Caterpillar was making such VERY short sentences. She drew herself up and said very seriously, “I think you ought to tell me who YOU are first.”

“Why?” said the Caterpillar.

Here was another puzzling question. As Alice could not think out any good reason, and as the Caterpillar seemed to be very unpleasant, she turned away.

“Come back!” the Caterpillar called after her. “I’ve something important to tell you!”

This certainly gave Alice some hope. Alice turned and came back again.

1.Where may their talk take place?

A. In a wonderland. B. In the field.           C. In the tree.   D. Outside the hole.

2.Why did Alice think she was not herself?

A. Because she was too young to understand the changes.

B. Because being changed several times in a day made her feel puzzled.

C. Because she didn’t like her changes

D. Because she didn’t feel very well.

3.Which of the following sentences can be added to the end of the story?

A. “Don’t be silly. You are still yourself.” said the Caterpillar.

B. “Don’t be angry. You think you’re changed, do you?” said the Caterpillar.

C. “Don’t be sad. You’ll grow bigger again.” said the Caterpillar.

D. “Don’t be afraid. You can go home now.” said the Caterpillar.
