解析

【主旨大意】本篇讲述了感人的故事，一个小男孩和一个女孩都失去了双手，两个人都能勇敢的面对生活。
小题1: D 由全文的第一句可知一个小男孩失去了双手和他父亲丢失了生命。根据意思，他必须“依靠”他弟弟的双手。故选D。
小题1:A 考查不定代词。根据he could hardly中的hardly，它是否定词，排除B和C，再结合该句意思，故选A。
小题1: C 根据they often argued，他们有许多“问题”，排除B和D；questions一般与ask, answer搭配，相对容易解决；problems为难题。故选C。
小题1: B 根据上下文意思，他们两兄弟经常争吵，有一天，他兄弟“离开”了他，他很伤心。故选B。
小题1: C 疑问词加动词不定式做宾语。由句意他很伤心，不知道“做什么”，可知what to do。故选C。
小题1: B 句意：但她决定完全独立，虽然她姐姐想照顾她。由though引导的让步状语从句，只有C答案符合句意。
小题1: B 根据Though I lost my hands, I still have legs，可以推出，女孩感到还是很幸运。
小题1: A 考查介词。句意：他们两个人都被邀请到一个电视采访节目。用to表示方向。
小题1: C 辨析as, while 和when“当……时”。 as重在表示动作同时发生、伴随进行；when 在绝大多数情况下，所引导的从句中，应该使用非延续性动词；while只指“时间段”，不指“时间点”，从句的动词只限于持续性动词，while 可以表示“对比”。根据句意，这里应是“对比”，故选C。
小题1: D 根据第三段的最后一句：Though my wings are broken, my heart can still fly。可以推出是flying heart, 故选D。

Venice is an attractive city in Italy. Tourists throughout the world love traveling to Venice. But sometimes you’ll have such strange experiences. One moment you walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there’s nothing special. Unfortunately, when you come back to the bridge an hour later, it’s underwater and everyone’s wearing rain boots.
That’s just the way it has always been, which may be considered seriously by Italian government. Before the sea comes to Venice, the government has decided to build the MOSE gates. Actually(实际上), there were many kinds of gates that were built to stop the floods, but all the gates were just built on the ground. Besides, the flooding was becoming worse. Industrial(工业的)factories built nearby on the mainland also made the condition get worse, causing the city to sink about 0.75 feet in the 20th century.
So the Italian government asked some of Italy’s biggest construction and engineering companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be built under the sea water to stop floods. Now the government are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion euros(欧元) on it. The MOSE gates are being built at the inlets(海湾).Each MOST gate is 197 feet long ,28.5 to 37 feel tall, and weight up to 22 tons. It’s nearly the size of a 20-story building. Before the gates are in use, under the sea full of water. When the flood comes, the water in the gates will be poured out, and then the gates will be filled with air. So the gates can go up with the sea water. Once they’re in the right place, they will stop the sea water pouring into Venice. These gates will be able to deal with floods up to 10feet,and as long as the sea level(平面)rises no more than two feet in the next 100 years, the MOSE will work as expected.
The MOSE project is now two-thirds done. The head engineer, Giovanni Cecconi, said, “This is a war. During the war, it’s not important that you win. It’s important that you’re alive. We’ve alive.” Anyway, this project is saving Venice from falling.

In 1961, a man found a strange cat on his farm in Scotland. The cat’s ears were folded, bent forward, on its head. In fact, this was a new kind of cat. People named it the "Scottish Fold(苏格兰折耳猫)".
The Scottish Fold has a round head and large eyes. Its neck and legs are short, which makes it look very cute. Interestingly, all the Scottish Folds are born with straight and unfolded ears. And when they are growing up day by day, some cats’ ears will begin to fold. So, the Scottish Fold comes in two types: folded ears and straight ears.
Besides, there is a nickname for the Scottish Fold. It is the " Messenger of Peace". Why?
Because the Folds are sweet and friendly animals. They can get along well with other cats. And
unlike some other cats, they can even get along well with dogs! In many different environments, such as at a noisy house, or in a cat show, you can see them playing with other animals happily.
Well, when you come to a new school, do you think it’s difficult to adapt to the new environment? Perhaps you can learn from the Scottish Fold. That is: always be sweet and friendly to others.
