She mentioned how it sometimes felt like she was hanging on by a thread with no quick fix in sight. It reminded me that the monarch caterpillar（毛虫）that I cared for just changed into a butterfly that morning. After eating on milkweed leaves from our garden,the hungry caterpillar bund a comfortable spot at the top of the ner butterfly enclosure and spun a silken thread to attach itself there. The caterpillar hung upside-down in a J shape for a day or so. Then, in less than a-few hours of struggling, the caterpillar was a beautiful green butterfly!All the research I've done indicates that the change into a butterfly should take between 10-12 days. I can only imagine what is going on there, but I'm sure it's a huge struggle and reforming. Haven't we all been doing the same to some degree lately? These especially challenging times are presenting us with the unavoidable experiences needed for our inner selves to use as food for growth. Not easy? You bet! Worth it? Yes!Many thanks to our local library tor the loan of the butterfly enclosure. They raised and released painted butterflies as part of their children's summer reading program this year. I had no idea that planting a few milkweed plants would lead to such a fascinating study of caterpillars and butterflies. The caterpillar has kept me mindfully occupied and fascinated during our recent COVID-19 self-isolation. Hanging on by a thread as we transform, keep in mind the beautiful wings we are growing. We are all somewhere in the midst of that unbelievable process. Trust the process. Have faith. Know that you are becoming the most beautiful person that you can be.24. What did the author's friend and the caterpillar have in common?A. They lived comfortably. B. They suffered from hunger.C. They experienced a hard situation. D. They were well cared by the author.25. What does the author say about the struggle concerning us in paragraph 3?A. It is necessary. B. It is dangerous. C. It is avoidable. D. It is meaningless. 26. What does the author mainly want to encourage us to do in the last paragraph?A. Help friends in need timely. B. Learn from other creatures sincerely.C. Join in children's experimental projects D. Face the hardships of life optimistically.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Life Is Hanging on by a Thread B. Reinvent Yourself as a ButterflyC. Avoid Challenging Experiences D. We Are Fascinated by ButterfliesCA new study has found that elephant seals have to work very hard to stay corpulent. Scientists paid special attention to females of the species during difficult two-month trips, or migrations, in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. The seals were found to spend up to 20 hours every day and sometimes full 24 hours a continuous deep-diving to feed on fish. They fed 1,000 to 2,000 times daily to gain the body weight necessary for reproduction and warmth in the cold waters. Researchers studied 48 female elephant seals from Ano Nuevo State Park in California as they traveled large ocean distances. Their entire trip was around 6. 000 kilometers. Scientists based their findings on data collected in 2011 and 2018. They used three small movable devices. The first device, attached under the jaw, counted the number of times the seals fed and measured their depth. The second satellite-linked device on the head, followed the seals' ocean movements and sensed their food. The third device was a "smart" video camera with an infra-red LED light and another depth sensor. It was also placed on their heads. Elephant seals get their name from the large noses. These noses look like an elephant's trunk. There are two species—the northern elephant seal and the slightly larger southern elephant seal. The two are the world's biggest seals and the largest ocean mammals other than whales. The northern male elephant seals can grow up to 4 meters long and weigh up to 2,000 kilograms. The northern females are smaller, getting up to about 3 meters in length and 590 kilograms. The males feed only in coastal waters. Some large ocean mammals depend on deep dives to get enough food to support their large bodies. Sperm whales（抹香鲸）, for example, hunt for large prey like giant squid, Female elephant seals, which are large, but not as big as sperm whales, have a different solution. They eat huge amounts of small fish. But it is hard for them to catch enough small fish to meet the energy needs of their large bodies.28. What does the underlined word "corpulent" in paragraph 1 mean?A. Fat. B. Distant. C. Deep D. Cautious.29. What is the common feature of the three devices in paragraph 3?A. 'They sensed the seals' food. B. They were linked to the satellite.C. They followed the seals' movements. D. They were attached to the seals' body30. Where does elephant seals' name come from?A. Their behavior. B. Their appearance. C. Their weight. D. Their length.31. What does the author mainly try to do in the last paragraph?A. Introduce the similarities of mammals.B. Show the size of male and female elephant seals.C. Advocate the conservation of sperm whales' ocean food.D. Compare sperm whales' hunts and female elephant seals' hunts.DParents, teachers and caregivers have long believed in the magic of storytelling to calm and comfort kids. Researchers working in pediatric (儿科) have now quantified the physiological and emotional benefits of a well-told tale. “We know that narrative has the power to transport us to another world,” says Brockington, who studies emotions and learning at Brazil’s Federal University. He adds, “Earlier research suggested that stories help children process and regulate their emotions—but this was mostly conducted in a lab, with subjects answering questions while lying inside functional MRI machines. There’s little research on physiological and psychological effects of storytelling in a more commonplace hospital setting. So the investigators working in several Brazilian hospitals split a total of 81 patients aged 4 to 11 into two groups, matching them with storytellers who had a decade of hospital experience. In one group, the storyteller led each child in playing a riddle game. In the other, youngsters chose books and listened as the storyteller read them aloud. Before and after these sessions, the researchers took saliva (唾液) samples from each child, then asked them to report their pain levels and conducted a free-association word quiz and analyzed samples. Children in both groups benefited measurably from the interactions. Those who heard stories also reported pain levels dropping almost twice as much as those in the riddle group, and they used more positive and light words to describe their hospital stay. The study demonstrates that playing games or simply interacting with someone can relax kids and improve their outlook—but that hearing stories has an especially dramatic effect. “The researchers really tried to control the social interaction component of the storyteller, which I think was key,” says Mar, a psychologist at York University.32. What does Brockington say about stories?A. The effects of them are easy to show in labs. B. They have a positive effect on kids’ emotions.C. They cause children to become more emotional. D. The studies of them are often conducted in hospitals.33. How did the investigators carry out the research?A. By visiting and talking. B. By making assumptions.C. By grouping and comparing. D. By analyzing samples from earlier research.34. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about the research?A. Its finding. B. Its purpose. C. Its approach D. Its reason.35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Narrative skills play a role in storytelling.B. Listening to a story does benefit kids’ health.C. Storytelling is popular with kids and their parents.D. Stories help kids communicate better with their parents.第二节（共5小题；每小题 2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As we all know, more and more people are searching for jobs every day. ____36____ The rest keep searching and picking online, knowing very well that they are not going to get hired any time soon.

Researchers studied 48 female elephant seals from Ano Nuevo State Park in California as they traveled large ocean distances. Their entire trip was around 6. 000 kilometers. Scientists based their findings on data collected in 2011 and 2018. They used three small movable devices. The first device, attached under the jaw, counted the number of times the seals fed and measured their depth. The second satellite-linked device on the head, followed the seals' ocean movements and sensed their food. The third device was a "smart" video camera with an infra-red LED light and another depth sensor. It was also placed on their heads. Elephant seals get their name from the large noses. These noses look like an elephant's trunk. There are two species—the northern elephant seal and the slightly larger southern elephant seal. The two are the world's biggest seals and the largest ocean mammals other than whales. The northern male elephant seals can grow up to 4 meters long and weigh up to 2,000 kilograms. The northern females are smaller, getting up to about 3 meters in length and 590 kilograms. The males feed only in coastal waters. Some large ocean mammals depend on deep dives to get enough food to support their large bodies. Sperm whales（抹香鲸）, for example, hunt for large prey like giant squid, Female elephant seals, which are large, but not as big as sperm whales, have a different solution. They eat huge amounts of small fish. But it is hard for them to catch enough small fish to meet the energy needs of their large bodies.28.

Researchers working in pediatric (儿科) have now quantified the physiological and emotional benefits of a well-told tale. “We know that narrative has the power to transport us to another world,” says Brockington, who studies emotions and learning at Brazil’s Federal University. He adds, “Earlier research suggested that stories help children process and regulate their emotions—but this was mostly conducted in a lab, with subjects answering questions while lying inside functional MRI machines. There’s little research on physiological and psychological effects of storytelling in a more commonplace hospital setting. So the investigators working in several Brazilian hospitals split a total of 81 patients aged 4 to 11 into two groups, matching them with storytellers who had a decade of hospital experience. In one group, the storyteller led each child in playing a riddle game. In the other, youngsters chose books and listened as the storyteller read them aloud. Before and after these sessions, the researchers took saliva (唾液) samples from each child, then asked them to report their pain levels and conducted a free-association word quiz and analyzed samples. Children in both groups benefited measurably from the interactions. Those who heard stories also reported pain levels dropping almost twice as much as those in the riddle group, and they used more positive and light words to describe their hospital stay. The study demonstrates that playing games or simply interacting with someone can relax kids and improve their outlook—but that hearing stories has an especially dramatic effect. “The researchers really tried to control the social interaction component of the storyteller, which I think was key,” says Mar, a psychologist at York University.32. What does Brockington say about stories?A. The effects of them are easy to show in labs. B. They have a positive effect on kids’ emotions.C. They cause children to become more emotional. D. The studies of them are often conducted in hospitals.33. How did the investigators carry out the research?A. By visiting and talking. B. By making assumptions.C. By grouping and comparing. D. By analyzing samples from earlier research.34. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about the research?A. Its finding. B. Its purpose. C. Its approach D. Its reason.35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Narrative skills play a role in storytelling.B. Listening to a story does benefit kids’ health.C. Storytelling is popular with kids and their parents.D. Stories help kids communicate better with their parents.第二节（共5小题；每小题 2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As we all know, more and more people are searching for jobs every day. ____36____ The rest keep searching and picking online, knowing very well that they are not going to get hired any time soon.
