13.We bet that on cold wintry days,many of you love to stay in your warm home and,every now and then,come out into the kitchen for a snack.Unfortunately,plenty of creepy-crawly critters (爬行生物) like to do the same thing!
    Winter is the time when bugs (蟲子) invade your house without an invitation.The season can be tough for such creatures.In winter the air is cold,the ground is hard and many trees have no leaves.So bugs do what they have to do to survive.
    Monarch butterflies head south to warmer climates.Ants crowd in deep underground colonies and eat food they have been storing all year.Many insects go into a deep sleep called diapause.There're different kinds of diapause,but all are similar to hibernation,a time when bigger animals become inactive in the cold.Insects go into an inactive period,too,but it often isn't when the temperature drops.
    They rely on more dependable signals in the environment.For example,many insects can tell how much sunlight there's each day.They use that to tell them when to shut down.Bugs are cold-blooded,meaning that their inside temperature is the same as the outside.They can't move much when it gets below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.So they search for any warm place.
    They're looking for protection.These guys have been doing this for 300 million years,so they don't really know they're coming into your house.The home is a recent event in terms of their evolutionary behavior.They enter through tiny cracks or come in unnoticed on your clothes or shoes.Remember that they may be invading your homes for warmth and food,but they don't care about humans.
31.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?C
A.To point out that humans like to stay at home in winter.
B.To mean that humans and bugs have the same living habits.
C.To mean that bugs will invade the house for their winter.
D.To put forward the idea that bugs are not welcome in winter.
32.According to the text,what is diapause?D
A.It is the same as the animals'hibernation.
B.It often appears in warm areas all the year.
C.It is done to keep bugs active in winter.
D.It is a deep sleep similar to hibernation.
33.What often decides bugs'diapause?C
A.The lower local temperatures.
B.The amounts of sunlight.
C.Kinds of environmental signals.
D.The insects'inside temperature.
34.According to the text,bugs invade humans'homes toC.
A.a(chǎn)ttack humans                
B.look for enough food
C.seek for protection              
D.show their evolutionary results
35.What would be the best title for the text?B
A.Bugs'life on cold wintry days     
B.Why bugs invade your home in winter?
C.Good relations between humans and bugs  
D.What does diapause mean?

分析 本文主要介紹的是:為什么蟲子在冬天會入侵人類住所?

解答 31--35.CDCCB
31.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第一段可知,蟲子和人類一樣,也會喜歡待在溫暖的屋里,再結(jié)合文章的后面幾段可知,本段暗示蟲子在冬天會入侵人類住所.故選C.
32.D 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段Many insects go into a deep sleep called diapause.There're different kinds of diapause,but all are similar to hibernation,a time when bigger animals become inactive in the cold可知,蟲子經(jīng)過"diapause"的目的是度過缺少光照等條件的冬季,類似于冬眠的長時間睡覺,但并不是冬眠,更不是為了確保冬天的活躍狀態(tài).故選D.
33.C 細節(jié)判斷題.根據(jù)文章第四段的"They rely on more dependable signals in the environment"可知,蟲子的"diapause"是由它們的多種依賴因素的變化所決定的,不一定全靠溫度或者光照.故選C.
34.C 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)最后一段They're looking for protection可知,蟲子進屋是為了尋求保護,把自己置身于安全形勢之下,而不僅僅是為了尋求食物.故選C.
35.B 主旨大意題.整篇文章主要告訴讀者的是:在冬天里,為什么蟲子會入侵人類的住所.

點評 高考中選用的科技文往往反映的是當(dāng)今人類最先進的科技水平和最新的科研成果.我們閱讀它的過程其實就是學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)知識,掌握科技信息的過程.然后,理解文章,分析文章,以閱讀材料所提供的科學(xué)事實為依據(jù),同時得出的結(jié)論還應(yīng)符合基本的科普常識,對照時要特別注意范圍大小、程度高低、數(shù)量多少、條件與結(jié)果、方法與目的、成就與問題、可能性與現(xiàn)實性.在細心對照基礎(chǔ)上,經(jīng)過一番分析、綜合,然后就要根據(jù)題目要求對選項作出正確判斷了,這些判斷包括選項的表達是否符合原文的意思,對概念,文句的理解是否正確,對要點歸納是否全面等,從而排除錯誤選項,選擇最合適的答案.

20.There is a disease sweeping the world today that is killing far more people than any other,including AIDS or SARS.(31)G The World Health Organization(WHO) has stated that of the 56.5million deaths per year around the world,over 50percent are caused by diseases associated with unhealthy diet and lack of exercise.(32)B
In the face of these shocking statistics,the WHO announced in 2004,a plan to fight obesity(肥胖癥)and invited governments around the world to join the campaign to encourage its citizens to adopt a sensible diet and to take up some form of physical activity.(33)C In Australia,which has the highest number of food advertisements in children's television in the world,there are an average of 12food ads per hour.0n the other hand,in Sweden and Austria there are strict laws about advertising during children's programmes.(34)D
There is much debate,however,about whether television advertisements are in any way responsible for childhood obesity.In Sweden,and Quebec in Canada,for example,the government ban food ads on children's television.(35)E  However,Holland,where there are no bans on food advertising,has one of the lowest rates of obesity in Europe.

A.The government also appoints a committee to decide on suitable punishment for food ads•
B.The WHO also said that many of these deaths connected with obesity could be prevented•
C.Governments should consider the role of food ads in children's television programmes•
D.In these two countries,there is an average of only one food ad per hour•
E.Therefore there is no great difference in the number of obese children•
F.Food ads have no effect on obesity.
G.That disease is obesity.

18.I was born and raised in Minnesota,the USA,but as an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa.I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris.For the last 15years,I've studied how people in different parts of the world build trust,communicate,and make decisions especially in the workplace.
While traveling in Tokyo recently with Japanese colleague,I gave a short talk to a group of 20managers.At the end,I asked whether there were any questions or comments.No hands went up,so I went to sit down.My colleague whispered to me,"I think there actually were some comments,Erin.Do you mind if I try?"I agreed,but I guessed it a waste of breath.He asked the group again,"Any comments or questions?"
Still,no one raised a hand,but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience.Gesturing to one of them,he said,"Do you have something to add?"To my amazement,she responded"Yes,thank you."and asked me a very interesting question.My colleague repeated this several times,looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.
After the session,I asked my colleague,"how do you know that those people had questions?"He hesitated,not sure how to explain it,and then said,"It has to do with how bright their eyes are."
He continued,"In Japan,we don't make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West.So when you asked if there were any comments,most people were not looking directly at you.But a few people in the group were looking right at you,and their eyes were bright.That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them."
I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota.Sinc then,I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter,and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.

28.What can we conclude from the first paragraph?C

B.The author enjoys traveling around the world.

5.Our environment isn't as green and beautiful as it should be.There are steel(鋼鐵) monsters blocking out the sun,blowing out dangerous smoke,and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers,cars producing harmful waste gas,people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet.Facing current environmental problems,people need to do their best to save the earth.
You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets.They're not there for a show,but for you to drop your waste.We should realize that what we do does count.So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window,or"accidentally"drop as you walk down the street,ask yourself how much waste you've been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.
At home,the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps(水龍頭)are not leaky(漏的),which would help greatly in scrimping.Another is to use energy-saving lights,and turn them off before you leave the rooms.It is not only energy-saving,but also cuts down electricity costs.
Recycling is a method to make items reusable.Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process.Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again.
Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids.Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives,in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.
With environmental protection awareness in mind,we can do what we can,for the results are to have a big effect on the planet.As long as we do our part,the world is one small step closer to being saved.

29.In the first paragraph the author uses"steel monsters"to describeC.
A.huge buildings      B.high mountains
C.big factories       D.characters in fairy stories
30.From the fifth paragraph,we can know thatB.
A.protecting the environment begins with small chores
B.protecting the environment should start from childhood.
C.wonderful life comes from environmental protection
D.protecting the environment benefits the country and the people
31.Which of the following is NOT true?D
A.The more people do their part,the greener the environment will be.
B.Selling what you don't want any more is a kind of recycling.
C.To protect the environment may help you save some money.
D.Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution.
32.The passage is mainly aboutC.
A.the use of garbage dustbins 
B.how to save water and electricity
C.how to save the environment 
D.our current environmental problems.

2.Amusement parks make most of their money from admission fees paid by guests attending the park.Other sources include parking fees,food and drink sales and souvenirs.Practically all amusement parks operate using one of two admission principles:
Pay-as-you-go.In this form,a guest enters the park at little or no charge.The guest must then buy rides one by one,either at the attraction's entrance or by buying ride tickets.The cost of the attraction is often based on its complexity (復(fù)雜性) or popularity.The park may allow guests t o buy unlimited admissions to all attractions within the park.A pass is then shown at the attraction entrance to gain admission.
Disneyland opened in 1955 using t he pay-as-you-go form.Initially,guests paid the ride admission fees at the attractions.Soon,the problems of dealing with so many coins led to the development of a ticket system that,while now out of use,is still part of the amusement-park vocabulary.In this new form,guests bought ticket books that contained a number of tickets,with"A,""B"and"C."Rides and attractions using an"A-ticket"were generally simple,with"B-tickets"and"C-tickets"used for the larger,more popular rides.Later,the"D-ticket"was added,then finally the now-famous"E-ticket,"which was used for the biggest rides,like Space Mountain.Smaller tickets could be traded up for use on larger rides.Disneyland,as well as the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World,gave up this practice in 1982.
●The advantages include:
●guests pay for only what they choose to experience
●attraction costs can be changed easily
●The disadvantages include:
●guests may get tired of spending money almost continuously
       guests may not spend as much on food or souvenirs

24.What is the passage mainly about?C
A.Attractions of amusement parks.
B.Admission fees of amusement parks.
C.Admission principles of amusement parks.
D.Sources of income of amusement parks.
25.According to the pay-as-you-go principle,guestsB.
A.don't pay at the gate of the park  
B.must pay for each ride they take
C.have to pay for all rides in the park  
D.needn't pay after entering the park
26.According to the passage,what is the meaning of the underlined word"Initially"in Paragraph 3?B
A.Gradually.
B.At the beginning.
C.At last.
D.Commonly.
27.What would be introduced following the passage?A   
A.The other admission principle.
B.Amusement parks'earnings.
C.Some other admission principles.
D.Users of the pay-as-you-go principle.
