It’s only an insect.”“It isn’t an insect, though it might look like one．Actually, it is very useful．The program I watched last night has completely changed my views on spiders．Do you want to hear about it?”“Not really,” she sighed, “but I suppose you’re going to tell me anyway.”“Spiders,” he said, ignoring her remarks, “are the enemies of insects and the friends of humans．That’s something that Chinese farmers realized years ago and scientists are only beginning to understand today.”“Do you know in parts of China, in autumn, farm ers build shelters for spiders and put them all over their fields? They are like little cone-shaped（锥形的）tents made of straw and they can survive the winter in them．When spring comes, they come out, healthy and hungry, at the same time as millions of inse cts arrive to attack the farmers’ crops.”“So the spiders fill their empty stomachs, and the farmers whose fields are protected are happy．They’ve saved their crops and their money．Because of the spiders, their cost on insecticides（杀虫剂）is zero.”“So everyone is happy except insects.” she said.“Right, and now this natural method of pest control is being copied all over the world.”“Interesting,” she said, “But now I really must go and ……”“Wait,” he cried．“There’s more．Do you know what is stronger than steel, lighter than a feather, and as elastic（弹性的）as a rubber band?”“No．What is it?”“It’s the silk that spiders make their webs with．And scientists are trying to develop a material with similar properties．They plan to use it in spacecraft, artificial organs like hearts and to make really bullet-proof vests．Doctor think spiders’ poison might be used to treat brain disorders in humans.”“That’s good news for you then,” she laughed, “But seriously, I get your point.”56．Cone-shaped tents are built and put over the fields for spiders to ____.A．go through the winter safely B．protect farmers’ crops from being eaten C．attack their enemies in nature D．become very healthy and hungry57．From the passage we learn that without spiders, the farmers _____.A．would also save their crops B．could do nothing to protect their crops C．would spend more money on insecticide D．could control insects in the fields withoutdifficulty58．Which is the best way to kill insects according to this passage?A．Spraying（喷射）insecticides over fields. B．Making use of their enemy in nature.C．Building shelters for spiders. D．Making more artificial webs.BIs there anything the latest cell phone can’t do? It can record movies, surf the net, and download the newest MP3 songs, but don’t let those fancy features fool you.After all, chances are that phones have a Global Positioning System (GPS) chip. GPS lets phone companies determine the location of your phone at all times. If you are hurt and call 911, rescuers can find you by using your phone’s GPS.But emergency officials aren’t the only people interested in knowing where you are. Several new companies are using cell phones equipped with GPS to monitor teen drivers for inquisitive parents.The programs vary, but most of them allow parents to use the Internet to monitor their kids’locations, driving habits and speed. Some programs even let parents set speed and location limits so that they are alerted（警觉的）if their kids drive too fast or go beyond a predetermined boundary.Supporters of monitoring（监视）say that the programs also help if a teen is kidnapped(绑架) or lost. Andrea Gutierrez uses a driving program to help her daughter get home. “I give her directions by looking at an online map, which shows me where she is”.Jean Nichols, 17, says that parents are forgetting one very important thing: trust. “I don’t like the idea of someone using a device that keeps tabs on me.”Others say the information could be misused. “If everyone can find out exactly where your 17-year-old girl is at all times, it will present a potentially dangerous problem,”Hohn Lawford told the Ottawa Citizen.Alana Watenpuhl, 19, says that teens can easily outsmart the programs. “Teens can always leave their cell phones somewhere and then go out with their friends. It’s not likely that the chips are attached to their bodies,”she told reporters. “But who knows?”she added. “That might be what’s coming next.”59. What is the text mainly about?A. The recent development in the Global Positioning SystemB. The latest kind of cell phone equipped with GPSC. How to use GPS in the cell phone to follow kidsD. The danger of GPS in the cell phone to kids60. From the text, we can infer that _________.A. parents must have a cell phone equipped with GPS to find their kids.B. parents can’t find their kids without the InternetC. children will be safe thanks to GPSD. children can easily fool their parents even with GPS61. The underlined word “inquisitive” in the third paragraph has a similar meaning to _________.A. disabledB. curiousC. surprisedD. tired62. What Alana Watenpuhl says suggests that _________.A. no matter how powerful a new technology is, it can never outsmart humans.B. GPS will be replaced by more advanced technology in the future.C. chips have been attached to people’s bodies to make GPS work even better.D. some new technology is likely to be brought into use in the future.CWhy Organic Food Is Better For YouWhen it comes to organic foods, it is important to know that not just anyone can make organic foods. There are strict standards. Foods and organic food companies that are certified by the Quality Assurance International group(QAI) must undergo tests and meet very high standards. When this is done, all foods should be stamped with a Certified Organic by QAI sticker or label.It has also been said that organic foods can help to lower the risk of cancer. Although some pesticides that farmers use are considered safe, there are still a number of risks, including a risk of cancer. This is alarming, but it is also something that many individuals are not aware of . Although the EPA(环境保护局)does consider many chemicals, including weed killers and insect killers to be dangerous, they are still used on many of the foods, namely fruits and vegetables, that are sold today. This is not something that you have to worry about when buying organic foods. That is why many claim that organic foods can reduce your chances of cancer.Another one of the many reasons why organic food is better for you is that it usually tastes better. This means that you and other eaters are more likely to eat more organic foods, as well as stick with organic foods or start a fully organic diet. These steps can help to improve your health. This is mostly due on part because vegetables and fruits are grown without the assistance of pesticides and other potentially harmful chemicals.Although there are a number of benefits to eating organic foods, especially where health and wellness is concerned, many individuals are concerned with the cost. Yes, organic food does cost more money, but many still consider it to be well worth the cost.63.All the followings are the advantages of Organic foods EXCEPT_________.A.harmful substances can be removed easily.B.they do good to people's health.C.they taste very good.D.they are not polluted.64.When having an organic diet people are most likely to be worried about its_________.A.safetyB.weightC.qualityD.expense65.Which of the followings may be the main idea of this passage?A.People usually can't afford to buy organic foods.B.There are all kinds of organic foods in our daily life.anic food is really better for all of us.D.Polluted fruits and vegetables are worrying.DMary Jane Seacole was a Jamaican（牙买加）nurse and a heroine of the Crimean War.She was born in 1805 inKingston, Jamaica. Her father was a Scottish military officer and her mother was a healer（医治者）. Mary's mother was a Jamaican mulatto(黑白混血儿) and ran a boardinghouse.In 1836, Mary married Edward Seacole.

She then applied to Elizabeth Herbert, the wife of the secretary of state for war who was recruiting nurses for the war effort, but was again denied （拒绝）an interview and after some time received a letter of rejection. Britain, apparently,was not ready to welcome a black nurse.Mary decided to depend on herself and in 1856 established the British Hotel near Balaclava at her own expense in order to provide "a comfortable quarters for sick and convalescent officers".She often went to the battlefield to attend to the wounded there. After the war, Mary Seacole was bankrupt, but her story was carried by the British press and money was raised by donations to pay off her debts.In 1857, she published The Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands. The book was a great success and Mary Seacole became a popular figure. She spent the rest of her life traveling and working between London and Kingston. She was awarded the Crimean Medal, the French Legion of Honour and a Turkish medal.
