athe best way to find fun. bthe importance of fun. cthe definition of fun. dthe common occasions to find fun.2when the author tells us to treat fun reverently, she is encouraging us to . alook forward to having fun bhave fun less frequently cshow great respect for fun dteach others how to have fun3who would benefit most from the article? athose who have great fun in big occasions. bthose who prefer friendship to having fun. cthose who regret having grown up. dthose who are worried about not having fun.bmost people agree that honesty is a good thing. but does mother nature agree? animals cant talk, but can they lie in other ways? can they lie with their bodies and behavior? animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. why? dishonesty often helps them survive.many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. for example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. when a predator (猎食动物) gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. how? it pretends to have a broken wing. the predator follows the hurt adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. scrub jays are also thieves. they watch where others bury their food and steal it. but clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. so they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else. birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. how? they dont make nests. instead, they get into other birds nests secretly. then they lay their eggs and fly away. when the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. after a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. when the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. but an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winners hand and start fighting again.chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. when chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. then other chimps come running. but some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. that way, other chimps dont hear them, and they dont need to share their food. as children, many of us learn the saying you cant fool mother nature. but maybe you cant trust her, either.4a plover protects its young from a predator by .agetting closer to its young bpretending to be injured cleaving its young in another nest ddriving away the adult predator5by chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky (paragraph 5), the author means .achimps are ready to attack others bchimps are jealous of the winnerscchimps are sometimes dishonest dchimps can be selfish too6which of the following is true according to the passage? asome clever scrub jays often steal their food back. bthe losing chimp won the fight by taking the winners hand. ccuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests. dsome chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.7which of the following might be the best title of the passage? ado animals lie? bdoes mother nature fool animals? chow do animals learn to lie? dhow does honesty help animals survive?cin the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animal. this sometimes happens with humans also. but i have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. i see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. and i have discovered that it makes them happy.from my wheelchair experience, i see the best in people, but sometimes i feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness i see daily. they dont get to see this soft side of others often; we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. but only when we stop pretending were brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness thats in them. last month, when i was driving home on a busy highway, i began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. people behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning（按喇叭）or even shouting at me. at the moment i decided to do something i had never done in twenty-four years of driving. i put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.no more angry shouts and no more horns! when i put on my flashlights, i was saying to other drivers, i have a problem here. i am weak and doing the best i can. and everyone understood. several times, i saw drivers who wanted to pass. they couldnt get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. but instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we dont feel that way. but those are few and far between. more often, it would be better if we dont pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.8the author feels sad sometimes because . .ahe has a soft heart bhe relies much on others csome people fail to see the kindness in others dsome people pretend to be kind9what did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights? athey waited with patience. bthey speeded up to pass. cthey tried their best to help. dthey put on their flashlights too.10in this passage, the author advises us to . .ahandle problems by ourselves badmit our weaknesscaccept help from others dshow our bravery11which of the following is the best title for the passage?awheelchair experience ba driving experience cweakness and strength dweakness and kindness dgive yourself a test. which way is the wind blowing? how many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? if your awareness is as sharp as it could be, youll have no trouble answering these questions. most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. a childs day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. but distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb to new stimulation（刺激）, new ideas. relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.the first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. this blocks awareness. one chilly night when i was hiking in the rocky mountains with some students, i mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. the students began complaining about how cold it would be. we reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. they were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. later they all admitted theyd felt cold water at first.another block to awareness is the obsession（痴迷）many of us have with naming things. i saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a ruby-crowned kinglet and checked it off. they no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.the pressures of time and destination are further blocks to awareness. i encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. it seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see whats around them. i asked them what theyd seen. oh, a few birds, they said. they seemed bent on their destinations.nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.12according to paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more .aanxious to do wondersbeager to explore the world around them clikely to develop unpleasant habits dsensitive to others feelings13what idea does the author convey in paragraph 3?ato stop complaining all the time. bto avoid jumping to conclusions. cto follow the teachers advice. dto admit mistakes honestly.14why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey? athe natural beauty isnt attractive to them.bthey are keen to see rare birds at the destination. cthe forest in the dark is dangerous for them. dthey focus on arriving at the camp in time.15in the passage, the author intends to tell us we should . aopen our mind to new things and ideas bget rid of some bad habits in our daily lifecfill our senses to feel the wonders of the world dtry our best to protect nature第二节 短文选句（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 how do students manage to complete a huge number of assignments and still find the time to have fun?
