Realizing第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。AWhen I wandered along a path through woods in the countryside, a small water pool came into my sight ahead. I changed my direction and took the part of the path that wasnt covered by water or mud to go around it. When I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked by something several times! It was from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt. The attacker stopped attacking me when I backed up a foot. I couldnt help laughing when I looked down and found I was being attacked by a butterfly! Curiously, I took a step forward to see clearly. My attacker dashed towards me again. He rushed towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but failed. For a second time, I took a stop backwards when the attacker paused. I didnt know what to do. After all, its just uncommon that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. Thats when I discovered why the attacker was kept charging me. He had a mate and she was dying. Sitting tenderly close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could do nothing but admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had attacked me for his mates sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was much larger than he. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life. I shouldnt have been careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for hismates safety seemed admirable. I was moved and rewarded him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool, leaving them undisturbed. He had truly earned those moments to be with his mate.Since then, Ive always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me. 56. Why did the writer change his direction while walking down a path?A. To get close to a butterfly.B. To avoid getting his shoes dirty.C. To escape a sudden attack.D. To look over the bad situation.57. What made the man feel funny?A. Making the attacker pause.B. Being stepped on by his mate.C. Being attacked by a butterfly.D. Discovering the energetic butterfly. 58. From this experience the man learned _.A. people should protect butterflies B. how he should deal with attacksC. people should show sympathy to the weak D. what he should do when faced with trouble 59. Which of the following word can best describe the butterfly?A. BraveB. Amusing.C. Careless.D. Strong.B . Roughly speaking, teachers in traditional education may feel that students are too young to know much about the world, and have to be told what to do most of the time. By contrast, open education offers teachers quite different feelings. Students are expected to be responsible for their own educationto discover subjects by themselves instead of being made to study them. This way of teaching allows the students to grow independently and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Some students who do badly in a traditional classroom will be happier in an open classroom and enjoy learning. They will not have to worry about grades or rules at all. However, many students wont do well in an open classroom. For these students, they will do little in school if there are too few rules. They will not make good use of open education, which is so different from traditional class, because they may have a problem getting used to making so many choices on their own. For them it is important to have some rules to direct them. They may worry about the rules even when there are no rules. In addition to that, some traditional teachers do not believe in open education and do not like it either. Since both of some good points and bad points of the open education have been explained clearly, you may have your own opinion on the issue. Personally, I think that the concept of open education is good only in theory. In actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school. I believe, most students, but of course not all students, need some structure in their classes. They may want and need to have rules. In some cases, they must be made to study some subjects. Many students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting. They would not study those subjects if they did not have to.60. Open education allows the students to_.A. grow as the educated B. be responsible for their lifeC. discover subjects outside class D. develop their own interests61. Open education may be a good idea for the students who _.A. worry about grades and rulesB. arent used to making choicesC. do well in a traditional classroomD. enjoy having some rules in class62. Some students will do little in an open classroom because_.A. there are too many rulesB. they dont like activitiesC. there are too few rules D. they worry about the rules63. Which of the following best summarizes the passage? A. Open education is a really complex idea. B. Open education is better than traditional education. C. Traditional teachers dont believe in open education. D. The writer thinks open education is practical.

Some scientists hold the view that the air inside houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may even be one hundred times worse.Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution, which can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Believe it or not, some pollutants can cause breathing diseases of blood and even cancer. What made us feel relieved is that theres growing concern about the problem now. It is true that when builders began constructing houses and offices they did not want to waste energy. To do this they built buildings that prevented or limited the flow of air between inside and outside. For the same purpose, man-made building materials were employed to build houses, which are now known to let out some harmful gases.Facing the serious challenge, scientists have been searching for a way to handle the problem. To everyones delight, they discovered a natural pollution control system for buildinggreen plants, though they do not really know how plants control air pollution. Scientists suppose that a plants leaves absorb or take in the pollutants and in exchange gives out oxygen through its leaves and tiny organizations on its roots. Therefore they recommend that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space. Because studies indicate that different plants absorb diff
