From the passage we can say its _ for us to have a good hobby.AbadBuselessChelpfulDcarelessThere was once a young man who liked puppets (木偶) so much that he became an apprentice (学徒) to a master puppet-maker. Sadly, the young man was not so clever, and his teacher and the other apprentices were always telling him he had no talent for making puppets, and that he would achieve nothing in making puppets.Even so, he enjoyed it so much that he worked day after day to improve. Despite his efforts, they would always find something wrong with his puppets, and the poor puppets ended up being thrown out of the workshop.The young man wasnt going to give up, so he decided that from then on he would spend all his time making just one kind of puppet. Whenever he found a fault in his puppet he would throw it away and start again. Years passed, and with each new attempt his puppet became a little bit better. By that time, his puppet was much better than anything that the other apprentices could make, but he kept making improvements. Living like that, the man wasnt making any money, and many people laughed at how poor he was.By the time he was an old man, his puppet was truly wonderful. Finally, after so many years of work, he finished work on his puppet, and said, “I cant find anything wrong with it. This time it is perfect”. And for the first time in all those years, instead of throwing his puppet away, he put it up on the shelf, feeling truly satisfied and happy.It is well-known that perfect puppet, Pinocchio, came to life after that, had a thousand adventures, and gave that old man whose name was Geppetto more joy than any other famous puppet-maker had ever got from any of their creations.33 . Why did the young man want to learn to make puppets according to Paragraph One?ABecause he liked it.BBecause everyone thought he was talented.CBecause his teacher told him to do so.DBecause he was not clever, he had to make a living34 . What was the ending of the poor puppets made by the young man?AThey were kept by the young man.BThey were thrown by the young man.CThey were shared by others.DThey were collected by his teacher.35 . What can we learn about Geppetto from the third paragraph?AHe was laughed at by the others.BHe could only make one kind of puppet.CHe had collected all the puppets he made.DHe made a lot of money by selling puppets.36 . When the puppet, Pinocchio, was made, _. Geppetto was already an old man Geppetto was satisfied with it Geppetto was much happier Geppetto planned to throw it awayABCD37 . What is the main idea of this passage?AMany hands make light work.BNo one can do two things at once.CA good beginning makes a good ending.DNothing is impossible to a willing heart.If you put a buzzard(秃鹰) in a cage without a roof(顶棚), the bird will be a prisoner. Even though it can fly, it cant fly through the open roof. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of 3 or 4 meters. Without space to run, he will not even try to fly, but will stay in his small jail(监牢) for the rest of his life.The ordinary bat that flies around at night cannot take off from the ground. If it is placed on the ground, all it can do is shuffle(穿梭) about helplessly. If it reaches a higher place, it will be able to throw itself into the air. Then it takes off quickly. But on flat ground, it will never fly.A bee dropped into a cup will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but keeps trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will look for away where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bee. They are struggling with all their problems and frustrations(挫折)，not realizing that the answer is right there above them.38 . A buzzard cant fly through the open roof of a cage because.Ait is too big and heavy to fly upBit feels the space is too small to start the flightCit gets used to living in the cage without a roofDit would like to spend the rest of his life in the jail39 . Paragraph 2 mainly tells us that.Athe bat is a kind of smart birdBthe bat can take off quickly on flat groundCthe bat flies only at nightDthe bat can only take off from a higher place40 . Which is NOT true about the bee?AThe bee doesnt try to find a way to escape.BThe bee will die if it isnt taken out of the cup in time.CThe bee always wants to escape from the cup near the bottom.DThe bee doesnt see the way out at the top.41 . Whats the purpose of the story?AMany people are like the buzzard, the bat and the bee.BAnimals will also give up when in trouble.CWe should try new ways to deal with difficulties.DWe should solve problems by ourselves.四、用单词的正确形式完成短文阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用正确形式填空，使短文意思通顺完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。trouble pass excite enough hope while see sudden drink on Kim and Martin were both best friends.
