I changed my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn’t covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt, I wouldn’t have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!Having stopped, laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasn’t sure what to do. After all, it’s just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That’s when I discovered why my attacker was charging at me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate’s sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life. His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate’s safety seemed admirable. I couldn’t do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.Since then, I’ve always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me.4．Why did the writer change his direction while walking down a path?A．To reach the pool. B．To avoid getting his shoes dirty.C．To escape a sudden attack. D．To get close to a butterfly.；5．What did the man find funny?A．Not to get hurt. B．Not knowing what to do.C．Being attacked by a butterfly. D．Stepping on a butterfly.；6．Which of the following words can best describe the male butterfly?A．Horrible. B．Amusing. C．Aggressive. D．Courageous.；7．From this experience the man learned       .A．what he should do when faced with troubleB．people should show sympathy to the weakC．how he should perform to protect his maleD．whether people should protect butterfliesC（说明文）’Instead of corona virus, the hunger will kill us.’ A global food crisis appears.In the largest slum(贫民窟) in Kenya’s capital, people desperate to eat cause chaos during a recent giveaway of flour and cooking oil, leaving scores injured and two people dead.In India, thousands of workers are lining up twice a day for bread and fried vegetables to keep hunger away. The corona virus pandemic has brought hunger to millions of people around the world. An estimated 265 million people could be pushed to the edge of starvation by year’s end. “We’ve never seen anything like this before,” said Arif Husain, chief economist at the World Food Program, a U.N. agency. “It wasn’t a pretty picture to begin with, and this makes it probably worse.”The world has experienced severe hunger crises before, but those were regional and caused by one factor or another — extreme weather, economic downturns, wars or political instability. This hunger crisis, experts say, is global and caused by a variety of factors linked to the corona virus pandemic and the following interruption of the economic order.There is no shortage of food globally, or mass starvation from the pandemic — yet. But problems in planting, harvesting and transporting food will leave poor countries exposed in the coming months, especially those dependent on imports, said Johan Swinnen, director general of the International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington.To lessen the impact of this crisis, some governments are fixing prices on food items, delivering free food and carrying out plans to send money transfers to the poorest households. Yet, communities across the world are also taking matters into their own hands. Some are raising money through crowdfunding platforms, while others have begun programs to purchase meals for needy families.8．What can we know from the scenes of people getting food in Kenya and India?A．Food shortage is becoming increasingly severe.B．People in Kenya and India are rude and mean.C．Food shortage causes people to go on strike.D．People are afraid of being infected by corona virus.9．What is Arif Husain’s attitude to the starvation caused recently?A．Hopeful. B．Doubtful. C．Uncaring. D．Pessimistic.10．Why is this hunger crisis different from the previous hunger crises?A．It is global and caused by various factors.B．It has caused mass starvation regionally.C．It is caused by natural disasters.D．It is caused by the economic disorder.11．Which of the following measures is taken by the governments for this hunger crisis?A．Raising money. B．Buying meals.C．Giving out free food. D．Setting prices on goods.D（议论文）    As computers become more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students. Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer.All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.“When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.12．The underlined expression “taking stock in” in paragraph 4 probably means    .A．getting bored with B．getting dependent onC．becoming crazy about D．getting curious about13．The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because          .A．they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and convenientlyB．they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essaysC．they find it not easy to remember how to write a characterD．computers have become a trend and fashion in China14．Which of the following statement is NOT true of the advantage of handwriting?A．Handwriting contains the writer’s emotions.B．Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.C．Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self-confidence.D．The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.15．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A．To Type or to Handwrite.B．The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.C．Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand.D．Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.参考答案ACC BCDA ADAC BACA
