They look like bright spots of light dancing on the breeze. Catching them in a jar for a few minutes can be fun. Fireflies are not really flies, though. They are winged beetles. Scientists are using these special beetles to learn more about our world.The reason a firefly flashed its light is to find a mate. There are around two thousand species, or kinds, of fireflies. Fireflies mate only with their own species. Each kind of firefly has its own flash pattern. It is important that fireflies recognize this pattern. That way they can find bugs of their own kind. The male firefly flies around in the sky while the female firefly stays close to the ground.For many years, how a firefly flashes its light was a mystery. Scientists now know that a fireflys light is a cold light. It gives off all of its power as light. It does not produce heat. A normal light bulb gives off only ten percent of its power as light. The rest of the power is wasted as heat. That is why a light bulb that has been on for a while is very hot. The fireflys light does not feel hot like a light bulb.Scientists have also learned that fireflies have a small built-in lantern. This special lantern is located inside a fireflys body. To create light, a gas flows through tiny tubes. This causes the firefly to light up. A firefly can also turn its light on and off quickly. This puzzled scientists. They learned that short bursts of this gas make the firefly glow. When the gas fades, the light goes out. This process happens very quickly.Scientists know that what they learn from fireflies will be important. Medical studies using fireflies are helping scientists fight illnesses in human beings. They have made new medicines from the chemicals used by fireflies to make light. Fireflies have also helped with new discoveries. New flashlights and flares have been made based on fireflies. These new flashlights and flares produce a cold light like a firefly. This way all the power makes the light shine. This little bug may be a pleasure to watch, but it is also an important part of our lives.1Why did the author most likely include Paragraph 4?A. To explain how fireflies make light. B. To describe different kinds of fireflies.C. To show how much power fireflies use. D. To describe why fireflies make light.2 Which of these is the best choice for a heading for Paragraph 5?A. The Cool Light of Fireflies B. Watching Fireflies FlashC. Understanding the Patterns D. Learning from Fireflies3 According to the passage, a fireflys light is different from a light bulbs light because the fireflys light _.A. shines brighter B. does not fade C. lasts longer D. is not hot4A reader asks this question about the passage: “ How many different kinds of fireflies are there? Which paragraph from the passage answers the question?A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 55 The author most likely wrote this passage in order to _.A. tell why fireflies light up B. give facts about firefliesC. show how fireflies help doctors D. compare a firefly to a light bulbCLife Is Difficult. It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.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(代表) 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 in 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 the human spirit, we encourage the human ability(能力) 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.1From the passage, it can be inferred that _.A. everybody has problems B. we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of lifeC. life is difficult because our problems bring us painD. people like to complain about their problems2The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _.A. save space B. persuade readers C. make readers laugh D. get reader's attention3The main idea of paragraph 3 is that _.A. most people feel life is easy B. the writer feels life is easyC. the writer likes to complain about his problemsD. most people complain about how hard their lives are4According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to _.A. encourage them to learn B. teach them to fear the pain of solving problemsC. help them learn to deal with painD. teach them how to respect for problemsDDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false pictureFor example，someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars! This guy's a winner，right? Maybe，maybe notWe then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets，and only one was a winnerHes really a big loser! He didnt say anything that was false，but he left out important information on purposeThats called a half-truthHalf truths are not technically lies，but they are just as dishonest Some politicians often use this trickLets say that during Governor Smiths last term，her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobsThen she seeks an other termOne of her opponents(对手)says，“During Governor Smiths term，the state lost one million jobs! Thats trueHowever，an honest statement would have been，“During Governor Smith's term，the state had a net gain of two million jobs Advertisers will sometimes use halftruthsIts against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truthAn advertisement might say，“Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothacheIt fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky CompanyThis kind of deception happens too oftenIts a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can 1ie as well1How much did the lottery winner lose?Aone hundred dollars BTwo hundred dollarsCThree hundred dollars DFour hundred dollars2We may infer that the author believes people should _.Abuy lottery tickets if possible Bmake use of halftruthsCbe careful about what they are told Dnot trust the Yucky Company3 How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?AOne BTwo CThree DFour4Which of the following is true according to the passage?AUsing half truths is against the lawBTechnically，half truths are in fact liesCYucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothacheDGovernor Smith did a good job during her last term5Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?AHes really a big loser!BSometimes the truth can lie as wellCAdvertisers will sometimes use half truthsDIts against the law to make false statements第II卷非选择题四、阅读填空 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，
