The British summer is beautiful. Trees, flowers, birds and butterflies make the whole country look like a big garden. However, many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this nice scenery during the past several years. What has happened to them?

Butterfly Conservation, a charity in the UK, is running a survey to help answer this question. The result is more serious than people expected. According to the survey, among 59 butterfly species (物种) found in the British Isles, more than three-quarters of them are suffering a declining (衰弱) population, including the most popular Meadow Brown. Moreover, half of all butterfly species are dying out.

Some common species such as the small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the Wall butterfly are dropping sharply. The Wall butterfly cannot even be seen in many parts of central and southern England. And the Blue butterfly, which was commonly seen in the south, has started settling in Edinburgh in the past few years.

The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years because the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their living conditions are also degrading.

Luckily, Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers. Scientists believe the warm weather will be good news to the butterflies.

Sir David Attenborough, president of Butterfly Conservation, said, “A great number of butterflies around us is a signal that all is well with nature. But when they decline, it’s a warning that other wildlife will be soon heading the same way.”

The survey is still going on. The public is also encouraged to focus on the UK’s butterfly population. The organizers hope the survey will help more and more people realize the value of butterflies in the UK. Butterflies give a symbol of the well-being of nature and the environment.

1What has the survey taken by Butterfly Conservation found?

A. The UK butterflies enjoy a cool climate.

B. The UK butterflies prefer settling in the north.

C. The number of the UK butterflies is getting smaller.

D. Butterflies make the British summer more attractive.

2How does the writer support the findings of the survey in Paragraph 3?

A. By listing examples (举例子). B. By providing data (列数据).

C. By giving explanations (作解释). D. By making comments (作评价).

3What does the underlined word “degrading” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Turning better. B. Getting worse.

C. Keeping the same. D. Becoming different.

4Butterfly Conservation expects their survey to ______.

A. warn people to care more about the change of weather

B. keep the charity running more smoothly than ever before

C. help the British government protect nature and the environment

D. help the British better understand how important the butterflies are

Do you want to control equipments with your mind? Do you want to power your home with the energy of your own activities? These are two of the developments that engineers at International Business Machines Company (IBM) think will come true within the next five years. The technology company has announced its latest “5 in 5” report.

The engineers at IBM think people will soon be able to control many electronic equipments simply by using their minds. They say people will soon have a way to just think about calling or emailing someone in order to make it happen.

Another thing that will happen is a way for people to power their homes and offices using energy from activities like walking or running. Bemie Meyerson, IBM’S President, says this is known as micro-electronic times.

Also, passwords could soon become a thing of the past. IBM says technology developments could soon make passwords unnecessary. Some of the most common ways used to tell people are fingerprints, face and voice differences, and iris scans. The iris is the colored part of the eye. Bemie Meyerson says this technology will soon be more widely used by money machines and other designs.

The fourth possibility on IBM’s “5 in 5” list is an end to the digital designs “between those who have technology and those who do not”.

1According to Paragraph 2, you can control an electronic equipments by .

A. writing an English email to it B. giving it a telephone call

C. thinking about your thoughts D. ordering it in your voice

2We know if micro-electronic times come true, people .

A. will need to run in the house all day

B. will live a much more relaxing life

C. will no longer need to go to their offices

D. can produce electricity through activities

3If you use iris scans to tell a person, you .

A. have to use passwords at first

B. should show your fingerprints

C. need to look straight at the machine

D. ought to speak to the machine aloud

4What does the underlined word “password” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. 指纹 B. 密码 C. 声控 D. 拍照

5What will most probably be talked about next after reading the passage?

A. Inventions created by IBM in the past.

B. People’s opinions on the developments.

C. Something that will happen in the future.

D. More information on the fourth possibility.

Do you know some great inventors and their inventions?

What factors (因素) are needed for their success?

Well, good timing for a start. You can have a great idea which the public simply doesn’t want … yet. The Italian Giovanni Caselli invented the first fax(传真)machine in the 1860s. Although the quality is excellent, his invention quickly died a commercial(商业的) death. It was not until the 1980s that the fax became very common in every office… too late for Giovanni Caselli.

Money also helps. The Frenchman Denis Papin (1647-1712) had the idea for a steam engine (蒸汽机)almost a hundred years before the better-remembered Scotsman James Watt was even born… but he never had enough money to build one.

You also need to be patient (it took scientists nearly eighty years to develop a light bulb which actually worked)… but not too patient. In the 1870s, Elisha Gray, a professional inventor from Chicago, developed plans for a telephone. Gray saw it as no more than “a beautiful toy”. However, when he finally sent details of his invention to the Patent Office(专利局) in February,1876, it was too late. Almost the same invention had arrived two hours earlier and the young man who sent it , Alexander Graham Bell, will always be remembered as the inventor of the telephone.

Of course what you really need is a great idea—but if you haven’t got one, a walk in the country and a careful look at nature can help. The Swiss scientist, George de Mestral, had the idea for Velcro(魔术贴) when he found his clothes covered in sticky seed pods after a walk in the country. During a similar walk in the French countryside some 250 years earlier, Rene Antoine Ferchault de Reaumur had the idea that paper could be made from wood when he found an abandoned wasps’ nest(蜂巢).

You also need good commercial sense. Willy Higinbotham was a scientist doing nuclear (核能的)research in the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, USA. In 1958 the public were invited to an exhibition in the Laboratory to see their work, but both parents and children were more interested in a tiny 120cm screen with a white dot which could be hit back and forth over a “net” using a button and a knob. Soon hundreds of people were ignoring the other exhibits to play the first ever computer game—made from a simple laboratory instrument called an “oscilloscope”. Higinbotham, however, never made money from his invention: he thought people were only interested in the game because the other exhibits were so boring!

1How many factors do inventors need?

A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6.

2The word “ignoring” in last paragraph probably mean?

A. having no idea of B. making no sense to

B. Denis Papin afforded to build a steam engine a hundred years ago.

C. Elisha Gray missed the chance to be the inventor of the telephone.

D. George de Mestral got the idea from a walk in a French countryside.

4What is the best title for the passage?

A. How to be a successful inventor.

B. How to get a great idea from nature.

C. How to have good commercial sense.

D. How to make money from inventions.
