All over the world, people admire the beauty and grace of butterflies. Butterflies come in every color imaginable, and their 50 display an incredible variety of patterns. The largest butterfly, Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing, has a wingspan (翼展) of up to 280 millimeters and lives in Papua New Guinea. The smallest, the Western Pygmy Blue in the southern U.S., has a wingspan of only 12 millimeters. Sadly, some of these beautiful creatures are now 51 . Estimates indicate that between 15 and 20 thousand species of butterflies exist around the world. A number of these species are endangered, over 20 in Japan 52 . Although that number may seem small, losing even one species would be 53 . Nowadays scientists even look to butterflies as a 54 of the environment’s health, since they are 55 to environmental changes. Many environmentalists around the world are eager to protect the endangered butterflies from extinction. The American Museum of Natural History in New York, for example, has an unusual butterfly exhibit. This exhibit 56 the important role that butterflies play in our environment. In recent years, environmental groups have made significant progress in 57 endangered butterfly populations. Governments throughout Asia have passed laws to help protect endangered wildlife, including butterflies. An area called Butterfly Valley in Assam, India, has become the focus of conscious 58 to protect the butterflies’ habitat (栖息地). Other projects in Serbia, Japan, and Canada are also hoping to 59 . Some of these efforts are already starting to work. The population of the El Segundo Blue Butterfly in California, for instance, has increased by 8 percent since 2010. Finding a cure for the butterfly crisis is, 60 , not just for environmental groups. 61 citizens can plant butterfly gardens to support and enjoy these gentle creatures. A group of female prisoners in Belfair, Washington, are helping to rescue an endangered species called Taylor’s Checkerspot. They recognize how 62 seemingly insignificant creatures can be. The world cannot afford to lose any butterflies. As environmentalist John Muir once 63 , “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it 64 to everything else in the Universe.”

According to the card, if you are unable to go, you can .A. return the cardB. visit the MuseumC. ignore the messageD. contact Alice’s motherBNothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.And every w eek he cleaned Old Man McColgin’s chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. I t didn’t look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose so much, either. I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a cooking competition, but it was surprisingly edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup.34. Why did Dad clean Old Man MoC olgin’s chicken house regularly?A. To earn some money for the family.B. To collect manure for his crops.C. To get rid of the terrible smell.D. To set a good example to us.35. What can we infer about Dad’s stew?A. It is popular among the neighbors.B. It contains honey and vegetables.C. It looks very wonderful.D. It tastes quite delicious.36. What does the underlined word “offend” in the last paragraph mean?A. To attractB. To upsetC. To airD. To shut37. What can we learn about Dad form the text?A. He is an experienced cook.B. He is a troublesome father.C. He has a positive attitude to life.D. He suffers a lot from his disability.CAcross Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver theirsupermarket bunches of flowers. But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as£172,000 a year.The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income £30，000 more than the Prime Minister earns.By analysing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18,it found that ,on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm.To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at £48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jibs”, with psychologist（心理学家）a close second.It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional（情感的）demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing（投入）in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.38. How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?A.￡30,000.B.￡142,000.C.￡172,000.D.￡202,000.39. The biggest challenge for most mothers is from .A. emotional demandB. low pay for workC. heavy workloadD. lack of training40. What is stressed in the last paragraph?A. Mothers’ importance shows in family all year long.B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.C. Mothers’ devotion to children can hardly be calculated.D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.41. What can we conclude from the study?A. Mothers’ working hours should be largely reduced.B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.C. Mothers’ labour is of a higher value than it is realised.D. Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.DTheir cheery song brightens many a winter's day. But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much. Robins are singing all night—as well as during the day, British-based researchers say.David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clocks, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds' health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night.He told people at a conference, “There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy.”And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackoiids and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, “In Glasgow where I live, gulls are a serious problem. I have people coming to me saying ‘You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gu lls?’. During the breeding(繁殖)season, between April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep.”Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.However, some birds thrive(兴旺)in noisy environments. A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery. It is thought that they are capitalizing on their predators(天敌)fleeing to quieter areas.42. According to Dr Dominoni’ s study, what causes robins to sing so much?A. The breeding season.B. The light in modem lifeC. The dangerous environment.D. The noise from heavy machinery.43. What is the researchers' concern over the increase of birds' song output?A. The environment might be polluted.B. The birds' health might be damaged.C. The industry cost might be increased.D. The people's hearing might be affected.44. What does the underlined word “nocturnal” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Active at night.B. Inactive at night.C. Active during the day.D. Inactive during the day.45. Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments?A. Because there are fewer dangers.B. Because there is more food to eat.C. Because there is less light pollutionD. Because there are more places to take shelter.ENo one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study sugg ests they used a little rock‘n’roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden pole s to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.“Technically, I think what they’re proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And th ere’s no obvious answer. On average, each ofthe two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way, who led the new study . West said, “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction. I thought, ‘Why don’t they just try rolling the things?’“A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realized. That, he notes, should make a block of stone “a lot easier to roll than a square”.So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocks,but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wou ldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.46. It’s widely be lieved that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by ______.A. rolling them on roadsB. pushing them over the sandC. sliding them on smooth pathsD. dragging them on some poles47. The underlined part “lubricated the paths” in Paragraph 4 means____.A. made the paths wetB. made the paths hardC. made the paths wideD. made the paths slippery48. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A. Rolling the blocks with poles attached.B. Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.C. Rolling poles to move the blocks.D. Rolling the blocks with fat.49. Why is rolling better than sliding according to West ?A. Because more force is needed for sliding.B. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.C. Because sliding on smooth roads is more dangerous.D. Because less preparation on paths is needed for rolling.50. What is the text mainly about?A. An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.B. An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.C. An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.D. An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.短文改错（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分）Hi, Janice,It's been a month since I came to this new school and I really want share with you some of the problems I have been experiencing.As I tell you last time, I made three new friend here.

He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears.

Tears came to his eyes, too. 16 without another word, he 17 my cell (牢房) and silently led me out．Out of the jail，quietly and by back routes，out of the town.

It was Tuesday, February 18．When the 1 rang in the kitchen of my Los Angeles, the 2 was Marty Banderas, a literary agent to whom I had sent a draft of my novel three weeks earlier. “I have a couple of 3 .” Banderas said．“First, how old are you?” “I'm 48,” I replied．“Are you in good 4 ?” “Yes, excellent. What’s this about? ” “I’ve sold your novels 5 one and a half million dollars.” I sat down in 6 . I had written fourteen novels in twenty years, but each one had been 7 by the publishers.

From the first day he entered my junior-high classroom, Willard P. Franklin existed in his own world, 1 himself from his classmates and me, his teacher. My attempts at 2 up a friendly relationship with him were met with complete indifference. I came to know that Willard was 3 a loner who seemed to have no desire or need to 4 his barrier of silence.Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday, we received word of the 5 Christmas collection of money for the less 6 people in our school district.“Christmas is a season of giving,” I told my students. “There are a few students in the school who 7 not have a happy holiday season. By 8 our Christmas collection, you will help buy food, clothing and toys for these 9 people. We’ll start the collection tomorrow.”When I 10 the donation the next day, I discovered that almost everyone had 11 except Willard P. Franklin. The boy dug deep into his pockets as he walked up to my desk. Carefully, he 12 two quarters into the small container.“I don’t need any milk for lunch,” he said in a low voice. For a moment, just a moment, he 13 . Then he turned and walked back to his desk.That night, after school, I took our small contributions to the school principal. I couldn’t help sharing the 14 that had taken place.“I may be wrong, 15 I believe Willard might be getting ready to become a part of the world around him,” I told the principal.“Yes, I believe it sounds 16 ,” he nodded. “And I have a hunch(直觉) we might do well to have him 17 a bit of his world with us. I just 18 a list of the poor families in our school who most need help 19 the Christmas collection. Here, take a look at it.” I discovered Willard P.
