阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2.5分,满分20分)
A
Sylvester Stallone had been a struggling actor before he achieved his great success as an actor and screenwriter, starting in 1976 with his role as boxer Rocky Balboa, in the first film of the successful Rocky series.
Stallone was so poor at one point that he sold his wife's jewellery (珠宝). He ended up becoming homeless, sleeping in a bus station, and struggled to afford food. He even managed to get a small amount of money in his pocket by selling his dog for $25.
Soon after, Stallone decided to take his career into his own hands and write a movie role for himself. After watching a boxing match, Stallone wrote the script (脚本) for Rocky very quickly, and soon a studio wanted to buy the screenplay to make.
Stallone was offered $125,000 for the Rocky script, but the trouble for the studio was that Stallone wanted to star in the movie. Stallone was penniless, but he still turned down $125,000 in order to chase his dream.
After being refused on the idea that he “looked and talked funny”, Stallone was then offered $250,000 for the screenplay. He refused unless he could star. He was then offered $350,000. Again he refused.
The studio wanted this screenplay so badly, but was not willing to risk the money on this unknown actor. Stallone stayed strong, and eventually the studio gave him a small amount for the script and let him star.
With his fortunes up, Stallone went to buy back his dog, but the guy he sold it to would not sell him back. Stallone offered the man $1,000 for the dog, but the man refused. Eventually, the man accepted $15,000 for the dog.
And this is why Stallone has deserved his success and why he is on this list of the best inspiring stories—because he was willing to do whatever it takes to get his dream.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Stallone的成功之路。

答案:D

C.Determined. D.Creative.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段“And this is why Stallone has deserved his success and why he is on this list of the best inspiring stories—because he was willing to do whatever it takes to get his dream.”,可推知,Stallone是一个非常有决心、意志坚定的人。故选C项。

B
For years, David James, who studies insects at Washington State University, had wanted to look at the migration patterns of monarch butterflies. The route the butterflies travel has been hardly known because the populations are too small to follow. For every 200 monarchs tagged by a researcher, only one is usually recovered at the end of its trip, James says, and finding even 200 monarchs in the wild is unlikely. Knowing the route is important to conservation efforts, but James had no way to figure it out—until he got a phone call from Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla.
The prison (监狱) was looking for new activities to improve the mental health of those serving longterm sentences. So James began working with prisoners to raise monarchs through the whole process of their transformation (变化). The adult insects were then tagged and released (放出) from the prison. Over five years, several thousand monarchs flew from the prison. Elsewhere in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, researchers released another few thousand butterflies.
The tags included email addresses, and soon after the first butterflies flew away, James started receiving messages from people who had spotted them. The butterflies, the reports stated, wintered in coastal California. Twelve of them landed at Lighthouse Field State Beach in Santa Cruz. Several more headed to Bolinas and Morro Bay.
The work helps researchers discover ideal places to plant milkweed (a kind of plant) and other plants that are important to the life cycle of monarch butterflies. It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners. “They were very worried that they may harm these butterflies,” James says. Watching the monarchs change their form also touched the men. “These butterflies changed,” James recalls prisoners telling him, “and maybe we can too.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了戴维·詹姆斯在华盛顿州立监狱的囚犯的帮助下研究黑脉金斑蝶的迁徙情况,这项工作有助于确定种植马利筋和其他植物的理想地点,也激发了一些囚犯内心较为温情的一面。
5.What was hard for James to do in his study?( )
A.Raising money for research.
B.Hiring experienced workers.
C.Building a new laboratory.
D.Finding enough monarchs.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知,黑脉金斑蝶的飞行路线几乎不为人知,因为它们的数量太少,无法追踪。每200只被研究人员标记的黑脉金斑蝶,通常只有一只在旅行结束时被找到,而在野外找到200只黑脉金斑蝶不大可能。由此可知,对于James来说,研究中困难的是找到足够的黑脉金斑蝶。
6.Why are the butterflies tagged before being released?( )
A.To ensure their safety.
B.To track their travel routes.
C.To tell them from other species.
D.To enable them to fly longer distances.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,这些标签包括电子邮件地址,在第一批蝴蝶飞走后不久,James就开始收到发现它们的人发来的信息。通过这些信息,James知道了蝴蝶的几处落脚点。由此可推断,在释放蝴蝶之前给它们贴上标签是为了追踪它们的迁徙路径。
7.What makes the prisoners feel that they can change?( )
A.The patience the butterflies showed.
B.The transformation of the butterflies.
C.The hardship the butterflies experienced.
D.James' devotion to the butterflies.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知,蝴蝶的改变触动了这些囚犯,他们觉得蝴蝶能够变化,他们也可以改变,因此可知是蝴蝶的变化让囚犯感觉自己也可以改变。故B项正确。
8.What is the last paragraph mainly about?( )
A.The impact of the research.
B.The findings of James' study.
C.The release of the prisoners.
D.The life cycle of the butterflies.
答案:A
解析:段落大意题。根据最后一段第一句可知,这项工作帮助研究人员发现了理想的种植马利筋和其他植物的地方,这些植物对黑脉金斑蝶的生命周期很重要。这项工作也使一些囚犯展现出温情的一面。因此本段主要讲述了这项研究工作的影响。
