【題目】The eagle has the longest life of its group. It can reach up to

70 years. But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard and

painful decision.

When an eagle reaches near 40, its short sharp beak becomes

bent（彎曲的）. Its long and once flexible（靈活的） talons

can no longer catch animals or birds for food. And its old and

heavy wings with thick feathers on its body make it difficult to fly.

Then, the eagle has only tow choices: to die or to go through a

painful time of change which needs five months.

When the eagle feels weak and is about to die, it goes to a

place far away on the top of a mountain and sits on a nest. For a new life, the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until it pulls its beak out. After pulling it out, the eagle waits for a new beak to grow. And then it pulls out its talons and old feathers. It takes the eagle five months to complete its change and get a new life. We can call it its rebirth. So it can live for 30 more years.

Like the eagle, we human beings sometimes need to make some change to get out of our difficulty. Inmiserablecondition, we have to change our ways of life. The changing may be very painful. But sometimes we have to throw off our old habits, memories and traditions. We can’t go on with all our past burdens（重負(fù)）.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. When an eagle reaches near 40, its short sharp beak is still straight.

B. For a new life, the eagle knocks its talons against a rock.

C. If the eagle doesn’t change itself, it will have a new life.

D. The writer’s idea is that we can’t go on with all our past burdens.

【2】The underlined word“miserable” here probably means“ ”.

A. terrible B. good C. lonely D. lucky

【3】The best title for the passage can be“ ”.

A. The death of the eagle

B. The living period of the eagle

C. A good and easy decision

D. Rebirth of the eagle

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】D

【解析】

試題這篇短文主要介紹老鷹是世界上壽命最長(zhǎng)的鳥(niǎo)類。它一生的年齡可達(dá)七十歲。但要活那么長(zhǎng)的壽命，它在四十歲時(shí)，必須做出困難痛苦卻重要的決定。老鷹首先用它的喙擊打巖石，直到喙完全脫落。然后靜靜地等候新的喙長(zhǎng)出來(lái)。然后，它要再用新長(zhǎng)出的喙，把指甲一根一根的拔出來(lái)。當(dāng)新的指甲長(zhǎng)出來(lái)后，它們便再把羽毛一根一根的拔掉。羽毛從新長(zhǎng)齊后，鷹獲得重生。

【1】D是非判斷題。根據(jù)When an eagle reaches near 40, its short sharp beak becomes bent（彎曲的）可知A錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)For a new life, the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until it pulls its beak out.可知B錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù) Then, the eagle has only tow choices: to die or to go through a painful time of change which needs five months.可知鷹不改變就會(huì)死，故C錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)短文最后We can’t go on with all our past burdens（重負(fù)）可知D正確，.故選D。

【2】A詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上文我們?nèi)祟愐惨聱椧粯又挥懈淖儾拍軘[脫困境，可知句意：在困境中我們需要改變我的生活方式。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，故選A。

【3】D標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)短文主要描述的是鷹的重生，作者想通過(guò)鷹的重生告訴我們不能背負(fù)著過(guò)去前行。

【題目】Flow like the river of change

Little stream ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,’’ she said sadly to herself.

At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze（微風(fēng)）can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, ‘‘That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.”

“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate（蒸發(fā)）into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor（蒸汽）across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.

The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.

【1】The little stream aimed to reach _____.

A. the forest B. the ocean

C. the desert D. the river

【2】The little stream _____ before she got to the desert.

A. didn’t meet much difficulty

B. was worried about herself

C. knew well about the desert

D. was confident about herself

【3】At first, the little stream didn’t accept the desert’s advice because _____.

A. she failed many times

B. she was afraid of the breeze

C. she wasn’t able to fly

D. she wouldn’t give up what she was

【4】The little stream finally crossed the desert by _____.

A. evaporating into the breeze

B. forming a river

C. disappearing into the sand

D. changing her nature

【5】What does the story mainly tell us?

A. The road to success is not always easy and smooth.

B. Whatever others say, we should always be ourselves.

C. To succeed, we should change the way we are if necessary.

D. We may experience difficulty in life just like the little stream.
