They weigh only about eighty pounds each.In spite of their small size, they are the best hunters among all the jungle people. Even the great elephant can be caught by them.Since they do not plant any crops, Pygmies are constantly moving around. They seldom sleep in one camp for more than a few days. In their camps there is not furniture at all except for some weapons such as spears, bows and arrows. There are no cooking pots either. Food is eaten uncooked or smoked over a lire. So when the tribe moves to a new camp there is nothing to carry except these weapons and babies too small to walk.Pymies can move on the tree tops almost as skillfully as monkeys. Often they travel great distances through the branches without touching the ground.One of the surprising facts about these small men and women is their great appetite（食欲）. A Pygmy can eat up sixty bananas at a single meal besides quantities of meat. After eating, they will lie on their hard earth bed and groan（呻吟）in all night. But in the morning, they are ready to eat the same amount of food or fight among themselves.51Pygmies are small in size, but they are brave in _.Ahunting Bshooting Ceating Dfighting with their enemies52Pygmies are so skillful that _.Athey never walk on the ground Bthey can move on the top of treesCthey always walk with sticks Dthey can hang from the branches53The writer wrote this article so as to _Aask people to learn from Pygmies Bhelp Pygmies go out of the forestsClet us know the local condition and customs of the PygmiesDtell us the world is big and wide54Why do Pygmies move from place to place continuously? The main reason is that _.Athat want to look after wild animals Bthey always walk with sticksCthey plant no crops Dthey dont sleep in one campBThis is a great truth, one of the greatest truths.It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend（超越） it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, those things that hurt, instruct. It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.55. From the passage, it can be inferred that _.A. everybody has problemsB. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of lifeC. life is difficult because our problems bring us painD. people like to complain about their problems56. The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _.A. save space B. persuade readersC. get readers attention D. make readers laugh57. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to_.A. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problem B. encourage them to learnC. help them learn to deal with pain D. teach them how to respect from problems58. The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that _.A. most people feel life is easy B. most people complain about how hard their lives areC. the writer feels life is easy D. the writer likes to complain about his problemsCWalking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasnt 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 wouldnt 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 wasnt sure what to do. After all, its 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. Thats when I discovered why my attacker was charging 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 mates 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, should I have been careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mates safety seemed admirable. I couldnt 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, Ive used that butterflys courage as an inspiration and to remind myself that good things are worth fighting for.59. The writer changed his direction while walking down a path because he want_.A. To get close to a butterfly. B. To escape a sudden attack.C. To look over the bad situation. D. To avoid getting his shoes dirty.60. What made the man feel funny?A. Making the attacker pause. B. Being stepped on by his mate.C. Discovering the angry butterfly. D. Being attacked by a butterfly.61. Which of the following words can best describe the butterfly?A. careless B. amusing D. aggressive D. courageous62. From this experience the man learned_.A. how he should deal with attacks B. how to deal with challenges in his lifeC. people should protect butterflies D. people should show sympathy to the weakDAs you grow older, youll be faced with some challenging decisionslike whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers(同龄人). When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, its called peer pressure.Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyones reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.Youve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely.” Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who dont cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably wont do these things either, even if other kids do.If you continue to face peer pressure and youre finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Dont feel guilty if youve made a mistake or two.63. What is the topic of the passage?A. Friendship. B. Self-confidence C. Peer pressure D. Making decisions64. In the last three paragraphs, the author mainly_.A. explains why friendship is so important B. discusses how peers influence usC. shows how to make more good friendsD. gives advice on how to deal with peer pressure65. Which of following may help handle peer pressure?A. Spending more time with classmates. B. Choosing friends with no bad habits.C. Taking up more relaxing hobbies. D. Helping others who are in trouble.VI、单词拼写：（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）66. Mikesfamilyusedtoliveina_(欧洲)country.67 Take the _ (伞)with you, Tom. Its raining outside.68. What Tom did during the sports mee
