24、respect for their flag and every school day begins with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Stars and Stripes.

26、flag when they become eligible for citizenship.The American flag is also known as “Old Glory and over the years has evolved to its present form of fifty stars and thirteen stripes. The stars represent the fifty states and the stripes stand for the original thirteen colonies.The first version of the

27、flag with its stars and stripes appeared in 1777, but only had thirteen stars. As each new state joined the union, a new star was added. The last star to be added was in 1960 after Hawaii became the fiftieth state. In the future if another state joins the Union, another star will be added to the fie

28、ld of blue. The number of stripes, however, remains consistent and never changes.The design of the flag may have altered over the years, but the colors, red, white and blue, have remained constant. In 1782 the Congress of the United States proclaimed that red stood for hardiness and courage, white s

29、tood for purity and innocence, and blue for justice and perseverance.It was the flag which inspired the creation of the national anthem: “The Star Spangled Banner in 1812. President Wilson in 1916 and later President Coolidge in 1927 suggested in proclamations to fellow countrymen that a special day

30、 be set aside to honor the flag. In 1949 the American Congress gave official recognition of June 14 as Flag Day.51. According to the passage which of the following statements is NOT true?A.

Flag DayBThe Mystery of the Flashing FirefliesDuring summer nights fireflies flash in the darkness. They look li

34、ke 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. The

35、re 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

36、 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 lig

37、ht. 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

38、 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 quick

39、ly.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 flas

40、hlights 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.56. Why did the author most likely inclu

41、de 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.57. Which of these is the best choice for a heading for Paragraph 5?A. The Cool Light of Fireflies B. Watching Fireflies

42、 FlashC. Understanding the Patterns D. Learning from Fireflies58. 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 hot59. A reader asks this question about the passage: “ How ma

43、ny 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 560. The author most likely wrote this passage in order to _.A. tell why fireflies light up B. give facts about firefliesC. show how fireflies he

44、lp doctors D. compare a firefly to a light bulbCA metaphor is a poetic device that deals with comparison. It compares similar qualities of two dissimilar objects. With a simple metaphor, one object becomes the other: Love is a rose. Although this does not sound like a particularly rich image, a meta

45、phor can communicate so much about a particular image that poets use them more than any other type of figurative language(修辞). The reason for this is that poets compose their poetry to express what they are experiencing emotionally at that moment. Consequently, what the poet imagines love to be may

46、or may not be love we see it. Therefore, the poets job is to enable us to experience it, to feel it the same way as the poet does.Lets analyze this remarkably unsophisticated metaphor concerning love and the rose to see what it offers. Because the poet uses a comparison with a rose, first we must ex

47、amine the characteristics of that flower. A rose is spectacular in its beauty; its petals(花瓣) are nicely soft, and its smell is pleasing. Its possible to say that a rose is actually a feast to the senses of sight, touch, and smell. The roses appearance seems to border on(近似于)perfection, each petal seemingly symmetrical(对称的) in form. Isnt this the way ones love should be? A loved one should be a del
