三、阅读理解(每小题3分, 共15分)

Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village. As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains(锁链), no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn't try to get away. “Well, ” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”

How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they were always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn't.

Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?

__________ We should never give up the struggle(斗争) in life.

22. Why do the elephants never try to break free from the ropes?

A. Because they think they cannot.

B. Because they are too old to do it.

C. Because they like their living places.

D. Because they get on well with the trainer.

23. How did the man feel after he heard what the trainer said?

A. Moved.    B. Surprised.

C. Angry.    D. Nervous.

24. Which of the following is the missing part in the last paragraph?

A. Failing is part of learning.

B. We should be different from others.

C. Helping animals is helping ourselves.

五、范文：

One－off chopsticks are very popular, but now using them causes some problems.

Some people think we shouldn't use one－off chopsticks anymore. On the one hand, we need to use a lot of wood to make them. On the other hand, they pollute the environment after we use them. What's worse, many one－off chopsticks are not clean enough for people to use. They are bad for our health.

But others think we should keep using one－off chopsticks. Because it is very convenient to use them. Next, one－off chopsticks are much cleaner and healthier than the traditional chopsticks which can be used and washed again and again. And using one－off chopsticks can help us save water because we don't need to wash them.

In my opinion, we should use fewer one－off chopsticks so that we can save more trees. And we should also use clean chopsticks to keep healthy.

高分点评：

本文运用了“四步三要素法”来完成短文。短文先写出问题所在。然后用“Some people think…”说出支持禁止的观点。再用“But…”写出反对禁止的观点。最后写出自己的观点, 使文章显得更有条理。

本文的添彩点：①开头简洁明了, 运用“but now using them causes some problems”直奔主题。②比较灵活地运用了on the one hand, on the other hand, next 之类的词(组), 使短文富有逻辑, 充满活力。③比较巧妙地运用了定语从句“Next, one－off chopsticks are much cleaner and healthier than the traditional chopsticks which can be used and washed again and again.”来描述一次性筷子和传统筷子之间的区别。
