16.Butterflies(蝴蝶) are some of the most fascinating (迷人的) and beautiful insects in the world.Adult butterflies will live about two to four weeks.They use their senses of sight,touch,hearing,smell and taste to survive in the world,find food and mates,lay eggs in a proper place,migrate (迁移) and avoid hungry enemies.
Butterflies have large compound eyes (复眼),which allow them to see in all directions without turning their heads.Like most insects,butterflies are very near-sighted,so they are more attracted to many flowers.Butterflies do not"see"colors such as red,green and yellow,but they can sense sunlight,which shows the direction in which the sun is shining,as well as ultraviolet light (紫外线),which is present on many flowers and guides butterflies to find 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 (感受器) are in their antennae (触角),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 proper 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 ears.Instead they"hear"sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations (振动).
Butterflies may possess senses we haven't known about till today,because their body structure (结构) is very different and difficult to understand,when observed through our own human senses.(325words)
66.What can we learn from the second paragraph?B
A.Butterflies have good eyesight.
B.Butterflies can see in all directions and don't need to turn heads.
C.Butterflies are sensitive (敏感的)to bright colors including red and yellow.
D.Butterflies cannot sense the ultraviolet light.
67.How do butterflies hear sounds?C
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
68.Why do female adult butterflies carefully choose the host plants?D
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.
69.What does the last paragraph imply?A
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
70.The text mainly focuses onD.
A.butterflies'living habits               B.butterflies'beauty
C.butterflies'daily activities             D.butterflies'senses.

分析 本文是一篇说明文,主要写了美丽的生物--蝴蝶的特殊的生理结构.蝴蝶的生理结构十分难理解,仅仅通过人的感知能力来了解还远远不够.

解答 66.B.细节理解题.根据第二段have large compound eyes (复眼),which allow them to see in all directions without turning their heads.蝴蝶拥有很大的复眼,这使得它们可以不用转头就能看到各个方向的事物,故选B.
67.C.细节理解题.根据倒数第二段don't have ears.Instead they"hear"sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations (振动).蝴蝶没有耳朵,取代她们的耳朵,声音是根据震动的变化通过它们的翅膀传达的.故选C.
68.D.细节理解题.根据倒数第三段females also carefully choose host plants by tasting to find proper places to lay their eggs.一些雌性蝴蝶也非常关注找到好的寄宿植物,通过品尝来找到适合的地方产卵.故选D.
69.A.推理判断题.根据最后一段:Butterflies may possess senses we haven't known about till today,because their body structure (结构) is very different and difficult to understand可知我们对蝴蝶的认识还不够还有很长一段路;故选A.
70.D.主旨大意题.通读全文,可知文章主要写了蝴蝶的生理结构十分难理解,仅仅通过人的感知能力来了解还远远不够;故选D.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

People in the United States feel that they can choose their lifestyles and even shape their own identities.In newspapers,lifestyle issues are discussed in the features or style section.In the Chicago Tribune this section is called"Tempo".People turn to this section for lively discussion on lifestyle choices they face with regard to their personal identities,their families,and their social lives.
Many American people believe that they can make their lives happy and satisfying despite their problems.If they lack confidence or tend to feel anxious,shy,angry,or depressed,they believe that they can change themselves.Self-help books,magazines,and feature articles are filled with advice from experts about steps to take to become a happier or more satisfied person and to improve one's self-respect.Part of this research for self-improvement is a belief that even one's own appearance can be controlled.

Not only are experts such as psychologists consulted,but stars from the political and entertainment worlds are held up as lifestyle leaders as well.In the newspaper,some articles discuss in detail the personal lives or public work of famous movie stars,authors and artists.The lifestyle choices these people make contribute to the public discussion of all the issues that people think about.
A well-known advertising slogan is"Just do it."In the culture of the United States,people believe that they can take action and become the kind of people they want to be and live the way they want to live.

11.Children who read for pleasure at the age of 10have far higher vocabulary scores by the age of 42.
Researchers at the Institute of Education(IOE)have found that the most crazy childhood readers score far higher on vocabulary tests 30years later.The new study suggests that children who read for pleasure carry the intellectual(智力的)benefits with them far into adulthood.
"The long-term influence of reading for pleasure on vocabulary that we have identified may be because the frequent childhood readers continued to read throughout their twenties and thirties,"says lead author Professor Alice Sullivan at the IOE.Researchers followed 9,400British people from the age of 10up to 42.Their vocabulary was tested using a simple quiz which asked participants to match up words to the most similar meaning.
Those who had regularly read for pleasure at 10scored 67percent in the age 42vocabulary test,while infrequent childhood readers scored only 51percent.
The IOE study also found that what people chose to read as adults mattered as much as how often they read.The greatest improvements between ages 16and 42were made by readers of‘elegant'fictions such as Booker Prize winning novels.And they found that readers of quality newspapers,including online versions,made more progress in vocabulary throughout their lives than those who read tabloids.
In addition,generally speaking,the adult readers who especially read broadsheets(宽幅印刷品)scored 76percent on the assessment compared to 57percent amongst those who didn't.

21.Why did frequent childhood readers have higher vocabulary scores?B
A.Because they are born intelligent.
B.Because they formed the consistent reading habit.
C.Because they were crazy about pleasure.
D.Because they had a comfortable childhood.
22.What may not affect the adult readers'vocabulary scores?C
A.The contents of reading.  B.The designs of the page.
C.Versions online or not.   D.The frequency of reading.
23.What does the underlined word"tabloids"mean in the text?A
A.Newspapers of low quality.    B.Newspapers of high quality.
C.Elegant fictions.             D.Large vocabulary.
24.What does the text mainly tell us?D
A.Intelligence has a great influence on vocabulary.
B.Reading materials matter much for children.
C.Broadsheet newspapers are best for boosting vocabulary.

8.When people want to know about the weather,they usually go to their radios,TVs,newspapers,or to the Internet.However,you can also find many weather signs among wildlife,because of their highly developed senses.Drops in air pressure produce an effect on small animals in many ways.Mice and deer are good weather indicators.People who spend a lot of time outdoors have observed that,before a storm,field mice come out of their holes and run around.Deer leave high ground and come down from the mountains.
Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways.For example,some birds become irritable(急躁的) and quarrelsome and will fight over a piece of bread.Other birds chirp(叽叽喳喳) and sing just before a storm.It seems they know they won't get another chance for an hour or two.Birds also look for safe places before a storm.You will sometimes see birds settling in trees or gathering together on a wire close to a building.Pre-storm low pressure make the air so thin that birds have difficulty flying.
It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime,rather than during the periods in the spring or autumn.Watch for other weather signs if you see this.If they fly in the wrong direction,they may be flying ahead of a storm.
By paying closer attention to some important signs in nature,we can become better prepared for any kind of weather.
55.The word"indicators"in paragraph 1probably meansD.
A.maps                  B.services              C.stations           D.signs
56.There will be a storm if birdsC.
A.come down from tall trees
B.share a piece of bread
C.make more noise than usual
D.fly in different directions
57.How can birds sense the coming of a storm?B
A.By noticing the movements of other animals
B.By feeling a drop in air temperature.
C.By noticing the change of wind directions
D.By feeling a drop in air pressure.
58.The best title for the text would beC.
A.Drops in Air Pressure                            
B.Animals'Sharp Senses
C.Nature's Weather Signs                           
D.Signs of a Storm.
5.Economists usually study markets.Now,two Americans have won the Nobel Prize in economics in 2009 for not studying markets.They shared almost one and a half million dollars for their analysis of economic governance.This is the study of how economic activity is governed within companies,communities and other groups.
 The winners are Elinor Ostrom of Indiana University in Bloomington and Oliver Williamson of the University of California,Berkeley.The prize in economic sciences has gone to sixty-three men since it was first awarded forty years ago.Elinor Ostrom is the first woman.And,like other winners over the years,her training is not limited to economics.She is a professor of political science and of public and environmental affairs.
 Today,economic theory suggests that good resource management requires ownership,either private or public.If not,as the thinking goes,then self-interest will lead to overuse and destruction of shared resources.Garrett Hardin described this idea in 1986 as"the tragedy of the commons".
 Elinor Ostrom showed how local decision making can reduce the tragedy.Her research has deepened understanding of how people balance their needs with those of others who depend on the same resources.She studied communities,like fanners in Southern California who depended on a common water supply.She documented how people who use resources often develop ways to share them.One example is forest management.
 Oliver WUliamson has studied big companies and found that they often are better than markets at doing complex jobs.Under his theory,businesses act as structures for conflict resolution (解决) For example,companies that own their suppliers can avoid long-term contracts and quarrel over prices.This can make production more efficient and make better use of limited resources.But businesses can also overuse their power.Professor Williamson says the best way to deal with this is not by limiting the size of companies,but through industry regulation.
 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said economists need to do more than study markets and prices.The Nobel judges urged more research like the kind they recognized with this year's award.
68.The two people.who won the Nobel Prize in economics in 2009.D
 A.have studied markets for a long time
 B.got a prize of about 1.5 million dollars each
 C.are famous for studying how economic activity is monitored
 D.are well-known for their economic governance in groups
69.Which of the following may Elinor Ostrom agree with?D
 A.Excellent resource management needs both private and public ownership.
 B.Shared resources will be likely to lead to self-interest.
 C.Garrett Hardin's opinion of"the tragedy of the commons".
 D.Local decision is good for people to share resources.
70.In Oliver Williamsion's opinion,big companies.C
 A.can balance people's needs
 B.will lead to overuse of shared resources
 C.will make better use of resources
 D.will make price higher
71.It can be inferred frim the text that.A
 A.not all economic Nobel Prize receivers are good at studying prices
 B.doing complex jobs is a difficult problem for big companies
 C.in the author's opinion,Garrett Hardin's theory is out of date completely
 D.Nobel judges think more research should be done to prove Oliver Williamsin's theory.
