12、ned about life from an ant farm. When I was seven years old, my family created one. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box and put the ants into it. Soon they got to work making tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. With my moms help, I kept a record of what happened eac
13、h day and named the ants.One day when I had put my face close to the structure (building), accidentally I knocked it over, and all the tunnels fell in. Although the ants survived their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was frightened as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry
14、 the bodies to a corner of the farm. My mother reported that the ants were dying of “frustration (挫折)”. They simply could not stand the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed.Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Over the years, I came to realize the ants have the spi
15、rit of teamwork. Working together, they were able to create an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work. Day in and day out, each worked at their task. The ant farm showed that teamwork and perseverance (毅力) are indeed the keys to success. But ther
16、e was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, humans cannot give up when they face disappointment.So I try to live my life like those hardworking ants. But, unlike them, I try not to let frustration
17、defeat (击败) me. I will have to keep building my tunnels.（1）The family created an ant farm in a glass box because it was easy _.A . for the ants to live inB . to get sunlight inC . to keep the sand cleanD . for the boy to watch（2）Which of the following is NOT the lesson from the ant farm?A . The ants
18、 have the spirit of teamwork.B . The ants give up when they face frustration.C . The ants should be admired for their hard work.D . Teamwork and perseverance are indeed the keys to success.（3）Whats the writers purpose of writing the passage?A . To share a personal experience.B . To tell readers a st
19、ory about antsC . To warn readers not to build an ant farm.D . To call on readers to learn from the ants.（4）What did the writer think of the ants?A . Persistent (执着) and friendly.B . Selfish and foolishC . Clumsy (愚笨的) and lazy.D . Hard-working but pessimistic (悲观).18. （6分） Is learning a foreign lan
20、guage ever easy? Yes. If you are five and move to another country, you will quickly pick up the language. But what about for the rest of us who are no longer five, and need to be polite when traveling for business or for pleasure? I think that answer is also yes. Language learning can be easy if you
21、 dont want or need to learn too much.The key to successful language learning in my mind is not to set the goal too high. It is rather like running. Even if you run twice a week, you dont necessarily want to be able to run a marathon (马拉松). You might just want to keep a level of fitness. I think the
22、same can be true for language learning.Lets get back to the goal. If you decide to learn ten words in a foreign language before visiting the country, you know that you will be sure to do this. However, if you decide to talk to people with great fluency (流利), unless you are quite a talented person, y
23、ou will probably fail and give up in half-way.It is also far easier to start learning a foreign language than to finish. In other words, the better you are, the slower it can be to improve, because you will not be able to move further because of grammar, making sentences, learning less common words,
24、 etc. If you are only trying to learn a few foreign words and sentences, you will enjoy faster progress, have more fun, and wont have to spend too much time.The idea of learning only a few hundred words in a language, and then stopping, isnt the usual way to language learning, but it can be a very m
25、eaningful and enjoyable activity.（1）In the writers opinion, it is easy for adults to learn English if _.A . they are especially talented peopleB . they dont want or need to learn too muchC . they have to spend a lot of time on itD . they have a chance to go abroad（2）The writer believes that if you w
26、ant to be good at a foreign language, you will probably _.A . forget your own goalsB . become a talented language learnerC . get tired of learning itD . reach your learning goal（3）The best title of this passage would be _.A . Easy Language LearningB . Hard Language LearningC . Fluency in a Foreign L

28、e was preparing for a quilt show on TV. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out.Whats this? I asked.Oh?
