Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village. As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains(锁链), no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well, ”the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free. ”

When my daughter was in primary school, she brought home four small twigs（嫩枝）one day. Her school gave these twigs to the students to plant. None of them looked very hardy, but with hope for the future, I planted them in our backyard. Over the years, because of an accident with the lawnmower（割草机）and poor soil, three of them died. Only one survived. It grew crooked（弯弯曲曲的）and very slowly. It never got very tall. In the end, it looked more like a fat bush than a tree. A few years ago, I noticed that it was starting to die. The lower branches were becoming bare（秃的）.Only the top third of the tree was still green. Last summer I did my best to save it by feeding it a lot of fertilizer（肥料), but it didn’t work.
Later one morning, I went out and looked at it again. I was wondering whether it would be better to just cut it down. It would make mowing the lawn easier. As I walked over to take a closer look at it, however, I noticed something moving within the leaves. It was a robin（知更鸟）patiently building a nest in the topmost branches. I smiled when I looked at it. I thought maybe this old tree was still useful. It might not be healthy or pretty, but it was still giving a bird a home. This tree made me know that all of our lives have purpose. It doesn’t matter if we are young and strong of old and sickly. Until our last breath, we have things to do, love to give, and joy to share.
We can help to make this world a better and more beautiful place.

参考答案：
1．C

考查介词。在树上结的果实，用介词on。外来物在树上用介词in。故选C。
2．A

A.Suddenly突然地； B.Actually 事实上；C. Luckily幸运地；D. Badly糟糕地。根据句意故选A。

【详解】句意: 妈妈在厨房做饭的时候,我正在做作业。
考查连词词义辨析。after在……之后；while当……时；if如果；until直到。根据“ I was doing my homework”和“my mother was cooking in the kitchen”可知，主从句都用过去进行时，且两个动作同时在进行，故用while引导的时间状语从句。故选B。
4．A
【详解】句意：我经常听见隔壁的女孩美妙的歌声。当我经过她的门时，我正在听她唱歌。
hear sb do sth表示听到某人做某事,强调动作的全过程,一般已经完成；hear sb doing sth表示听到某人正在做某事,强调动作正在进行。类似的省略to动词还有 see ,notice ,look at ,listen to等.因此，选A。

6．C
【详解】句意：当我遇到麻烦时，他帮助我，他是非常友好的。根据句型It is+表示性格品质的形容词+of sb to do sth“某人做某事，某人是……”，故选C。
点睛：1. 在It is +形容词 + of + sb.+ to do sth.中， 形容词是说明sb的。重点说明“sb is 形容词”某人是怎样。 sb + is + 形容词”逻辑上说得通”， 而“to do sth + is + 形容词” 逻辑上说不通。 若形容词是描述不定式行为者的性格、品质的，如kind，good，nice，right，wrong，clever，careless，polite，foolish等，用of sb.。
2. 在It is +形容词 + for + sb.+ to do sth.中， 形容词是用来说明to do sth的。重点说明“to do sth is 形容词” 做某事是怎样。 “to do sth + is + 形容词” 逻辑上说得通，而”sb + is + 形容词”逻辑上说不通”。若形容词仅仅是描述事物，不是对不定式行为者的品格进行评价，用for sb.，这类形容词有difficult，easy，hard，important，dangerous，（im）possible等。

19．句意：所有的兔子，甚至鱼都很快消失了。
returned返回；shouted叫；entered进入；disappeared消失。根据“The poor fox could not find anything to catch for food”这只可怜的狐狸抓不到任何东西来吃。可知，兔子大声叫喊，所有的兔子和鱼应该都消失了。故选D。
20．句意：可怜的狐狸找不到任何食物，最后吃了水果。
growing种植；eating吃；picking捡；selling卖。根据“The poor fox could not find anything to catch for food”以及空后的提示词“fruit”可知，狐狸没有抓到兔子和鱼，最后只能吃水果。故选B。
