He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too 1 (quick). So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away in turn. The first

13、 son went 2 winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the3 (young) son in fall.When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe4 they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly and bent. The second son contradictedit was5 (cover) with green buds and ful

14、l of promise. The third son said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful. The last son 6( agree) with all of them. He said it was ripe and filled with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had ea

15、ch seen but one season in the 7(tree) life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree,8 a person, by only one season,and that the essence of who they arethe pleasure, joy, and love that come from that lifecan only be judged at the end, when all the seasons are up.If you give up when its winter, you

16、will miss the hope of your spring, the 9 (beautiful) of your summer, fulfillment of your fall. Dont let the pain of one season destroy the joy10 all the rest. 阅读理解A13、Human, Dont Come too CloseFrequent touching from humans may change plants genes and slow their growth.When we see babies or pets, we

17、cant help gently touching them to show our love. And they give us happy feelings back. But a recent study shows that its different for plants. A study, published in The Plant Journal, shows that plants dont “like” to be touched. Thats because touching changes their genes (基因) and, even worse, can sl

18、ow their growth.Professor Jim Whelan of the La Trobe Institute in Australia gave an explanation. “The lightest touch from a human, animal, insect, or even plants touching each other in the wind, leads to a huge gene change in the plant,” Science Daily reported.In order to test the theory, the scient

19、ists did an experiment on plants. They grew a number of plants to the age of four weeks. Then they touched them with a paintbrush every 12 hours over a 36-hour period. They found that as a response to the touch, the mitochondria (线粒体) in the plants had been partly destroyed. The mitochondria, as Sci

20、ence Alert noted, are the “powerhouse of the cell (细胞)”. The mitochondria produce energy for the rest of the cell in both animals and plants.If this “powerhouse” is weakened, the plants will lose a large amount of energy that should have supported their growth. Whelan further explained to Science Da

21、ily, “If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by up to 30 percent.”Although the process does have a strong effect on plants, usually the plants survive. Touching changes the plants, but its not necessarily a bad change.According to Science Alert, frequent touching or moving plants

22、will make them grow shorter than other ones. The researchers believe this change, in some way, could be helpful. It may help plants fight threats to their health such as insects and bad weather.The new research findings have led to a deeper understanding of the plants response to touching. And the r

23、esearch might “open up new ways to reduce sensitivity (敏感性) and improve growth in the future”, Science Alert reported.1Why did the scientists do the experiment?ATo test if touching can change the genes of plants.BTo show that plants and animals genes are different.CTo tell when touching has effect o

24、n plants and animals.DTo find out why some plants grow more slowly than others.2What did the scientists find in their experiment?ARepeated touching shortened the plants life by four weeks.BTouching slowed down plant growth by reducing energy for growth.CRepeated touching made plants die sooner than

25、they were expected to.DMitochondria in the plants couldnt produce energy because of touching.3What do the scientists think of the fact that touch makes plants become shorter?AThe plants will be more likely to be attracted by insects.BThe plants will be more easily harmed by bad weather.CThe plants w

26、ill be less sensitive to being touched.DThe plants will be better at fighting dangers.B14、“Let s go wrestling ,Dad!”( 摔跤吧，爸爸!) is one of the Top 10 movies recently. It tellsa true story about an Indian man and his two daughters. His names Mahavir. In real life, he is called“the father of India women

27、 wrestling”because thousands of girls across India have been supported to take up wrestling with his efforts.A very famous Indian actor, Aamir Khan, played the role of Mahavir in the movie. It was an unusual experience for him to play this role. Aamir Khan was very serious about his character and he

28、 tried to make this character close to the true story. In order to act well, he needed to put on weight to be very fat and then do sports to be very strong in a short time.Aamir Khan started to eat a lot every day before making the movie. He ate at least 5 meals a day including much junk food. He be

29、came too fat to run quickly.It is simple to be fat but difficult to be strong. Aamir Khan invited many coaches to train him to lose weight and took him a few months to be strong. He must eat less and drink more. Strength training is also important. This kind of physical training is very boring. He h

30、ad to lift different weights and do it over and over again. Aamir Khan set a goal to himself day by day and the minute he made it, he fell down on the ground and could hardly stand up. In the end, he became the exact person the movie needs.The role he played was very moving and he succeeded at last.

31、 As he says, the most important thing in life is not whether you can reach your goal but whether you have made the greatest efforts.1From the passage, what is Aamir Khans job?AA player. BAn actor. CA director. DA coach.2Why is Mahavir called “the father of Indian women wrestling”?ABecause he is a ve

32、ry famous Indian player.BBecause he played a role in the movie “lets go wrestling, Dad!”CBecause he supported many Indian women to take up wrestling.DBecause he became strong in short time.3What is the correct order of the following things about Aamir Khan?

34、ame very fat at first and then lost weight in a very short time.CIn order to act well, he trained so hard.DHe tried to playa perfect role in the movie.5According to the acting experience of Aamir Khan ,what can we learn ?AWhere there is a will, there is a way.BPractice makes perfect.CMany hands make

Some teachers may cheerfully get the homework by saying Of course you did it early.Im sure youve done a good job! So

36、me teachers may feel annoyed because The deadline is not until next Friday. Behind this students back are tons of whispers from his classmates, Ugh, he is such anoverachiever and its so annoying .If you ask the same student to explain his behavior, he probably says that he is simply motivated. Such

37、students refuse to call themselves overachievers but prefer motivated instead. They want to shy away from the unpleasant termoverachiever but choose to embrace the word motivated .Why is the term overachiever used as an insult (侮辱 )? Do we not all work hard to achieve our goals? Why does the motivat

38、ed student not proudly call himself an overachiever ?In my personal experience, being called an overachiever in front of my classmates is not pleasant at all. The word is often connected with an unkind smile or sometimes a hint ofjealousy (嫉妒 ).Overachiever carries the implied (暗指的 ) sense which ove

39、r lends it - you have done too much and you have gone too far. Anyway, it is beyond the proper degree and just annoying to those students who refuse to put in the effort themselves and get unhappy with you for doing so.A student would rather think of himself as an excellent student and it is motivat

40、ion that drives him to do his best. What is the implied meaning of motivated ? Connected with positive words like willpower, spirit and determination, the motivated student would appear to be competing in an event of the brain Olympics.Although there are differences in their implications, the studen

41、t who calls himself motivated could actually be a secret overachiever, going over the top for all his work; while the overachiever is nothing more than a motivated student, driven by the simple desire to do well and willing to put in time and effort. In fact, the choice lies within the student: to o

42、verachieve or not to overachieve; to find the motivation to do well and be driven by it, or to sit back and blame others for overachieving to hide his inability to achieve.1According to the passage, overachieversAare popular with their classmates Bhand in homework ahead of timeCare much loved by the

54、ementary (基础的) school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffanys mom.Tiffanys mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didnt give me much pocket money and

55、she always told me that I should behave myself. I was angry with her.Whenever I didnt get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffanys mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my mom would calmly say “Poor Tiffany”. I couldnt understand her. “She shouldnt be feeling sorry

56、for Tiffany!” I thought. “She should be feeling sorry for me.”One day, I couldnt help saying to Mom, “Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants!

Maybe shell find out that she cant have it. Her mother wont always be around to give her money, and whats more, money cant buy everything.

58、”She continued, “Ihave taught you useful lessons by not giving you everything you want. Youll know how to be yourself and save money, but she wont. Youll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she wont. When Tiffany is a grown woman, shell wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one youve got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food.”It took some time, but I finally understood my moms words. Now I am a happy and succes
