【題目】Butterflies are some of the most fascinating and beautiful insects in the world. Adult butterflies will live about 2 to 4 weeks. They use their senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste to survive in the world, find food and mates, lay eggs in an appropriate place, migrate, and avoid hungry enemies.

Butterflies have large compound eyes(復(fù)眼), which allow them to see in all directions without turning their heads. Like most insects, butterflies are very nearsighted, so they are more attracted to a sea of flowers than individual plants. Butterflies do not “see” colors such as red, green, and yellow, but they can sense sunlight, which indicates the direction the sun is shining, as well as ultraviolet light(紫外線), which is present on many flowers and guides butterflies to honey sources.

Butterflies have a very well-developed sense of smell, but it is not in their nose, since they don't have one. Sense receptors are located in their antennae(觸角), feet, and many other parts of the body. They can help butterflies find their favorite flower honey food, and mates.

Butterflies' feet have sense organs that can taste the sugar in flower honey, letting the butterflies know if something is good to eat or not. Some females also carefully choose host plants by tasting to find appropriate places to lay their eggs. Adult butterflies feed their babies using a long tube. Butterflies force blood into the tube to straighten it out, allowing them to feed. Butterflies get all their food from this tube.

Butterflies don't have ars. Instead they “hear” sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations(振動).

Butterflies may possess senses we don't even know about yet, because their body structure is very different from ours, and therefore difficult to understand, when observed through our own human senses.

【1What can we learn from the 2nd paragraph?

A. Butterflies have good eyesight.

B. Butterflies can see in all directions and don't need to turn heads.

C. Butterflies are sensitive to bright colors including red and yellow.

D. Butterflies cannot sense the ultraviolet light.

【2How do butterflies hear sounds?

A. Using their feet to sense the vibration of things

B. Using their ears to listen directly

C. Using their wings to sense the sound vibrations

D. Using their antennae to judge the sound

【3Why do female adult butterflies carefully choose the host plants?

A. To find high-qualified honey.

B. To have a good place for living.

C. To make it easier for them to hide from the enemies.

D. To find a proper place for their eggs.

【4What does the last paragraph imply?

A. There’s a long way to understand butterflies well

B. Butterflies give great help to human beings

C. Butterflies are the most beautiful insects in the world

D. Butterflies possess more senses than humans

【5The text mainly focuses on ________.

A. butterflies' living habits B. butterflies' beauty

C. butterflies' daily activities D. butterflies' senses

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】D

【4】A

【5】D

【解析】試題分析:本文主要介紹了蝴蝶的幾種感覺:視覺,嗅覺,聽覺和觸覺。在作比較中將幾種感覺說得生動而明晰。雖然人類了解了蝴蝶的大致構(gòu)造,但是由于蝴蝶與人類身體結(jié)構(gòu)很不一樣,故目前階段的了解還是淺顯的。對于蝴蝶的研究還有很長一段路要走。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。由第二段第一句話“Butterflies have large compound eyes, which allow them to see in all directions without turning their heads.”可知,蝴蝶有很大的復(fù)眼,所以它們能夠不轉(zhuǎn)頭就看到所有方向。故選B。

【2】推理判斷題。定位到第三段第一、二句。第一句說蝴蝶的嗅覺很靈敏,但是它們沒有感觸器官,因此觸覺很不發(fā)達。Sense receptors are located in their antennae, feet, and many other parts of the body.第二句說明感覺受體很多,有觸角、腳和身體的其他部位。而蝴蝶的翅膀也差不多就是整個身體。故選C,它們用翅膀感覺事物的震動。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。定位到第四段的第二句話Some females also carefully choose host plants by tasting to find appropriate places to lay their eggs.“一些雌性蝴蝶為了找到一個合適的地方產(chǎn)卵會通過仔細品嘗來挑選寄主植物”易知雌性蝴蝶品嘗寄主植物的目的就是為了找個合適的地方產(chǎn)卵。故選D。

【4】概括歸納題。最后一段開頭談到Butterflies may possess senses we don't even know about yet, because their body structure is very different from ours“蝴蝶也許還擁有我們不知道的感覺,因為他們的身體結(jié)構(gòu)與我們?nèi)祟惖暮懿灰粯!笨芍覀冞不是很了解蝴蝶,對蝴蝶還需要很多的研究。故選A。

【5】主旨大意題。本文主要介紹了蝴蝶的幾種感覺:觸覺,聽覺,視覺,嗅覺。同時又在這幾種感覺中展開比較,說明因為有復(fù)眼,她們的視覺很廣;嗅覺也很靈敏。但是聽覺和觸覺則其次。故選D。

【題目】It was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for "Six days shall you labor and do all your work" was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning. Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the kitchen for more string(線). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.

My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she cast a look toward the window. "Come on, girls! Let's take string to the boys and watch them fly the kites a minute."

On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.

There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys' kites and they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down in the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.

Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. "Perhaps it's like this in the kingdom of heaven," I thought confusedly.

It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the house. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn't mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed. Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep "the things that cannot be and yet they are."

The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to "go park, see duck."

"I can't go!" I said. "I have this and this to do, and when I'm through I'll be too tired to walk that far."

My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling(去皮). "It's a wonderful day," she offered, "really warm, yet there's a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites?"

I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The locked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. "Come on," I told my little girl. "You're right, it's too good a day to miss."

Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath (余波) of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of what dark and horrible things?

"Say!" A smile sipped out from his lips. "Do you remember no, of course you wouldn't. It probably didn't make the impression on you as it did on me."

I hardly dared speak. "Remember what?"

"I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp (戰(zhàn)俘營), when things weren't too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?"

【1Mrs. Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought_________.

A. she was too old to fly kites

B. she should have been doing her housework then

C. her husband would make fun of her

D. her girls weren’t supposed to play the boy’s game

【2By "we were all beside ourselves," the writer means that they all _________.

A. felt confused B. looked on

C. went wild with joy D. forgot their fights

【3What did the writer think after the kite-flying?

A. The boys must have had more fun than the girls.

B. All the others must have forgotten that day.

C. Her parents should spend more time with them.

D. They should have finished their work before playing.

【4Why did the writer finally agree to take her little girl for an outing?

A. She suddenly remembered her duty as a mother.

B. She thought it was a great day to play outside.

C. She had finished her work in the kitchen.

D. She was reminded of the day they flew kites.

【5】The youngest Patrick boy is mentioned to show that _________.

A. the writer was not alone in treasuring her fond memories

B. his experience in POW camp threw a shadow over his life

C. childhood friendship means so much to the writer

D. people like him really changed a lot after the war

【題目】The Internet of Things (IoT) aims to get everything and everyone talking. Attaching sensors to “things”, such as cows, cars and refrigerator, and then assigning them unique IP addresses allow them to “talk” to the Internet. Of course, the IoT will involve much more than a handful of sensors. Networking company Cisco estimates that 50 billion Internet-connected devices and objects will

be sending over data by 2020.

Specific Benefits
The IoT will allow people to track things and processes like never before. Airplane manufacturers will be able to continuously track the condition of airplane parts, allowing them to do preventive maintenance and avoid costly downtime. Consumers could install smart meters in their homes to monitor energy usage and observe energy price changes in real time. That would allow people to adjust their habits and use electrical appliances during lower-priced hours.

Some Fears
Some critics fear that the IoT could end up being a fashion that people lose interest in over time. Having Twitter feeds on refrigerator doors may sound cool at first, but the attraction could fade as quickly as the excitement over last year’s smartphone! Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internet-connected appliances will provide long-term software updates. If that happens, a refrigerator or washing machine that should last 10 years or more could last two or three due to software that’s outdated.

A Positive Example
Early this year, owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice alerting them to a charger plug needing to be fixed. Amazingly, owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an “over the air” wireless update. Customers confirmed the update by tapping on the car’s touchscreen console to see that the Model S was running the latest software version. No trip to the dealer was required!
Perhaps Tesla’s remote fix is a sign of things to come. Someday soon, people’s lives might become a lot more efficient and convenient thanks to the IoT.

1How do researchers get everything and everyone talking?

A. By establishing the IoT and launching a handful of sensors.

B. By connecting sensors with them and appointing them unique IP addresses.

C. By communicating with them all the time through the IoT.

D. By sending people to track them day and night and collect useful data.

2According to the article, which of the following is NOT TRUE?

A. IoT can help people do preventive maintenance and save money.

B. IoT can help people monitor energy usage and observe price changes timely.

C. IoT can help people adjust their habits and use electrical appliances more smartly.

D. IoT can help people investigate things and update a lot of important data.

3What else do critics worry about the IoT besides its probably ending up being a fashion?

A. People will lose interest in it as quickly as the thrill over last year’s smartphone.

B. Refrigerators and washing machines will be replaced by other devices in a few years.

C. Whether related companies will provide long-term software updates or not.

D. The software provided by companies will be outdated easily and quickly.

4According to the passage, when owners of the Tesla Model S electric received a recall notice, they ______.

A. just waited in the car while the maintenance is being done through wireless update

B. were required to go to the nearest 4s store to make some adjustments or repairs

C. could definitely depend on the IoT to send them the charger plug to be fixed

D. had to confirm the update with the help of the equipment provided by the company

【題目】 “The U.S.Food and Drug Administration(FDA)is considering to put stricter limits over tanning salons(曬黑廊)and wants to ban anyone younger than 18 years of age from using a tanning bed,”an advisory panel(專家團)announced last week.

The panel is calling for tighter controls on the industry such as requiring teenagers to get the approval from their parents before using tanning beds or limiting the use of artificial tanning to a certain age.“Given the absence of any demonstrated benefits,I think it is an obligation for us to ban artificial tanning for those under 18,”said panelist Dr.Michael Olding.

Along with a possible ban for teenagers,the panel also recommended that visible warning labels should be placed either on the tanning machines or in the salons in order to caution tanners of the possible dangers.In addition,the committee decided that stricter regulations and classifications were critical to make the machines safer.At this time the machines are categorized as FDA Class 1 devices,the ones that are least likely to cause harm.In case the FDA decided to change their classification from Class 1 to Class 2,as advised by the panel,the FDA could limit the levels of radiation the machines emit.Class 2 devices include Xray machines and powered wheelchairs.

Getting a tan,whether from a tanning bed or the sun,increases the risk of developing skin cancer.Last year,the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)declared tanning beds as “carcinogenic(致癌的)to humans”.It was discovered that young individuals in their teens and 20s who use tanning beds on a regular basis have a 75per cent higher risk of suffering from melanoma(黑素瘤),the deadliest form of skin cancer.According to the American Cancer Society,melanoma accounted for nearly 69,000 cases of skin cancer in 2009 and will account for most (about 8,650)of the 11,590 mortality cases due to skin cancer each year.

【1】According to the passage,what measures will U.S.FDA most probably take?

A.Banning tanning salons.

B.Posing heavier tax over tanning salons.

C.Having tighter controls over tanning salons.

D.Limiting the number of tanning salons in every state.

【2】Which of the following suggestions for making tanning salons safer is NOT mentioned?

A.Visible caution.

B.Setting age limit.

C.Professional personnel.

D.Parental approval for teenagers.

【3】What does the writer want to express in the last paragraph?

A.Tanning in one's youth may mean death.

B.Tanning in the sun is safer than on the tanning bed.

C.People should get tanned without getting melanoma.

D.Getting tanned is only a good idea for those above thirty years old.

【4】What will most probably happen,if the advisory panel's suggestions are adopted and put into practice?

A.Fewer people will suffer from skin cancer.

B.Tanning salons will have more customers.

C.Getting a tan in a tanning salon will cost less.

D.Parents will be more anxious about their tanning children.
