Suddenly a small opening appeared, and the butterfly made its great effort to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.So the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly could come out easily. But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon.The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would become larger and be able to fly. But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling (爬) around with a heavy body and small wings. It was never able to fly.The man was in his kindness, but he did not understand the nature rules. Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid (流体) from its body must be forced into its wings, and then it would be ready for flying. It must have a hard struggle (拼搏) to get through the small opening to get its freedom from the cocoon.Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We would not be as strong as we could have been; we could never fly.（1） What was the butterfly doing at the beginning of the story? A . It was crawling around quietly on the ground.B .

We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means its okay to move forward. But why were those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place? For something we have to look at every day, why couldnt they have been prettier colors?Well, its import to know that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean warn. As you could imagine, trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpected happened. Because of that, railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. And its been that way ever since.Red has always been a color that mean danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because its the color with the longest wavelength(波长) so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colors.But, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Finally, highly reflective materials(高反射材料) were developed and red stop signs were born. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school zones, some traffic signs, and school buses continue to be printed yellow.So next time you are impatiently waiting at a traffic light, dont get so mad at them, theyve certainly come a long way.（1） What were traffic signals for before traffic lights for cars? A . Trains.B . Boats.C . Planes.D . Bicycles.（2） Why does red mean danger? A . Because its the brightest color.B . Because it can be seen far away.C . Because railway companies say so.D . Because it has the shortest wavelength.（3） Why are school buses painted yellow? A . Because yellow is a prettier color.B . Because yellow once meat danger.C . Because yellow can be seen well in daytime.D . Because yellow means its OK to go forward.（4） What does the text mainly tell us? A . How important traffic lights are.B . Which color has the longest wavelength.C . What red, yellow and green can be used for.D . Why traffic lights are red, yellow and green.二、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共10分)5. （10分） (2019达州) 根据短文内容，从下面方框中选择适当的选项补全短文。 Do you have a tail? Of course not, we know. But tails are like opinions, actually, everyone has them: fishes, birds, most reptiles, and even some of our closest relativesSince tails first evolved(进化) at least 500 million years ago. Geckos (壁虎)use them to store fat. birds use them to steer through the air, But for most mammals (哺乳动物)._Yet, as you get closer to humans on the evolutionary tree, tails disappear, Gorillas(大猩猩)don t have them, and neither do chimps(黑猩猩) or any other apes (类人猿) including us, of course, To understand why, take a look at how we walk._walking like this gives us a huge advantage because unlike fourlegged animals. which have to pour energy into every step they take, two legs take advantage of gravity(重力),which does some of the work for us. You see, each time we take a step, gravity pulls us forward. The end result is that when we walk, we use around 25% less energy than walking on all fours, and this way of getting around also totally eliminate (淘汰) the need for a tail.Its said that you can still see a reminder of a time when our ancient ancestors had one. Just look at a human spine(脊椎)._Thats your tailbone. Its all thats the rest of our tail.Now, babies are born with what looks like a tail, but thats not whats really going on. Most often, these tails are actually a parasitic twin(寄生虫). These types of tails usually form as a birth defect(瑕疵)._So the tail of humans has gone, its the result of evolution millions of years Will humans be much taller, stronger or smarter in the future?A. Nowadays, humans can walk completely upright.B. And in these situations, doctors will advise to remove the tails with no harm to the babiesC. they serve one major purposebalance.D. You can see how the last few bones are partly fused(融合) together三、 完形填空 (共1题；共15分)6. （15分） (2016菏泽) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。The book I read is A Picture to Remember by Sarah Scott-Malden.
