These large orange and black insects(昆虫 ) brighten parks and gardens as they fly lightly among the flowers. What makes monarchs particularly interesti
16、ng is that they migrate(迁飞 ) all the way to California or Mexico and back. They are thought to be the only insect that does this. Every year in the late summer monarchs begin their journey to the south. Those heading for Mexico go first for the Louisiana-Mississippi area, then fly across the Gulf of
17、 Mexico into Texas. Once in Mexico, they settle themselves in one of about fifteen places in a mountain forest filled with fir trees. Each place provides a winter home for millions of monarchs. The butterflies are so many that they often cover entire trees. When spring comes, they begin their long j
18、ourney north. The question is often asked whether every butterfly makes the round-trip journey every year. And the answer is no. The average monarch lives about nine months. So one flying north might lay eggs in Louisiana and then die. The eggs of that generation may be found in Kentucky; the eggs o
19、f the next generation may end up in Wisconsin or Michigan. The last generation of the season, about the fourth, will make their way back to Mexico and restart the journey. Scientists learn about monarchs migration by catching the making marks on the insects. By recatching a monarch with such a mark
20、and noticing where it came from, the next scientist can get to know get to know things like the butterflys age and its routing(路线 ). 56. One of the places where monarchs spend the winter is _. A. the Gulf of Mexico B. an area in Mississippi C. a forest in Mexico D. a plain in Texas 57. The routing o
21、f monarchs migration can be learned _. A. by examining the marks made on them B. by collecting their eggs in the mountains C. by comparing their different ages D. by counting the dead ones in the forests 58. What is the subject discussed in the passage? A. Migration of monarchs. B. Scientists intere
22、st in monarchs. C. Winter home of monarchs. D. Life and death of monarchs. B SYDNEY: As they sat sharing sweets beside a swimming pool in 1999, Shane Gould and Jessicah Schipper were simply getting along well, chatting about sport, life and “anything else that came up.” Yet in Sydney next month, the
23、y will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly(蝶泳 ) in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay. Gould, now a 47-year-old mother of four, has announced she will be making a return to elite competition(顶级赛事 ) to swim the one
24、event, having set a qualifying(合格的 ) time of 30.32 seconds in winning gold at last years United States Masters championships. Her comeback comes 32 years after she won three golds at the Munich Olympics. Schipper, now a 17-year-old from Brisbane with a bright future of going to Athens for her first
25、Olympics, yesterday recalled(回忆 ) her time with Gould five years ago. “I was at a national youth camp on the Gold Coast and Shane had come along to talk to us and watch us train,” Schipper explained. “It seemed as if we had long been good friends. I dont know why. We just started talking and it went
26、 from there.” “She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp. She told us stories about what it was like at big meets like the Olympics and what its like to be on an Australian team. It was really interesting.” Next time, things will be more serious. “I will still be swimming in the 50m butterf
27、ly at the nationals, so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould,” said Schipper, who burst onto the scene at last years national championships with second places in the 100m and 200m butterfly. 59. What is the passage mainly about? A. Stories happening in swimming co
28、mpetitions. B. Two women swimmers winning Olympic golds. C. Lessons learned from international swimming championships. D. Friendship and competition between two swimmers. 60. Gould and Schipper are going to _. A. talk about sport and life B. go back to elite competition C. set a qualifying time and
29、win gold D. take part in the same sports event 61. Gould won her three Olympic golds when she was _. A. 15 B. 17 C. 22 D. 30 62. The underlined word “it” in the fifth paragraph probably refers to _. A. the Olympics B. the youth camp C. the friendship D. the Australian team 63. What Schipper said sho
30、wed that she _. A. was no longer Goulds friend B. had learned a lot from Gould C. was not interested in Goulds stories D. would not like to compete against Gould C With a good shopping position and the right amount(数量 ) of money, any educated person ought to be able to make a living out of a booksho
31、p. It is not a difficult trade to learn and the large chain-stores can never force the small bookseller out of existence as they have done to the corner shop. But the hours of work are very long I was only doing a part-time job, but my boss put in a seventy-hour week, besides regular journeys out of
32、 shopping hours to buy books. The real reason why I should not like to be back in the book trade for life, however, is that while I was in it I lost my love of books. A bookseller cannot always tell the truth about his books, and that gives him a dislike for them. There was a time when I really did
33、love books loved the sight and smell and feel of them if they were fifty or more years old, that is. Nothing pleased me quite so much as to buy a bargain lot of them on sale for several pounds. There is a peculiar flavour(独特的味道 ) about the unexpected books you pick up in that kind of collection: lit
34、tle-known eighteenth-century poets, or out-of-date geography books. For occasional(偶尔的 ) reading in your bath, for example, or late at night when you are too tired to go to bed there is nothing as good as a very old picture story-book. But as soon as I went to work in the bookshop I stopped buying b
35、ooks. Seen in a mass, five or ten thousand at a time, books were dull and even a little tiresome. Nowadays I do buy one occasionally, but only if it is a book that I want to read and cant borrow, and I never buy rubbish. 64. According to the passage, _ is one of the necessary conditions to run a boo
36、kshop. A. an educated shop-owner B. a good position at a street corner C. a regular journey out of the shop D. the force of large chain-stores 65. The author should not like to be back as a bookseller for life because_. A. he hated his job of selling books B. selling books was only a part-time job C
37、. the books in the shop gave him a dislike D. he was unable to be honest about the books he sold 66. The books preferred by the author should be those _. A. stories making readers sleepless B. valuable ones bought on sale C. peculiar ones with great expectation D. geography ones from the eighteenth
38、century 67. The author will only buy new books _. A. if he feels dull and tired B. after he gives up his job as a bookseller C. which are interesting but hard to borrow D. when he throws away old ones D Millions of aircraft take off around the world every year. The skies they fly in seem limitless m
39、iles of empty space. But, with the number of flights increasing each year, this emptiness no longer exists. Researchers in the world of aviation(航空 ) are worried about the increasing pressure on pilots and ground controllers. And increasing collisions, occurring at or near an airport, have called at
40、tention to the need for more aids(辅助设备 ) to aviation control. People who travel the skies are not certain about air safety. A great deal of money is spent on new and bigger aircraft and airports to deal with the vast increase in passengers travelling by air. Only a small percentage of this money is
41、spent on navigation(导航 ) and other aids. Actually, suitable electronic equipment has long existed, and many companies market safety aids designed to make it safer for aircraft to take off, fly any distance, and land, whatever the weather. Yet, there are two problems to be solved. The first is to get
42、 governments, airlines and airport officials to agree to basic levels of safety aids. The second problem is to find a way of meeting these basic requirements. But no matter how well the equipment works, operators of the equipment still play an important role. Communications between pilots and ground
43、 controllers are extremely important to air safety. It is worth pointing out that the mishearing or misunderstanding of instructions in English, and the use of another language, in an international conversation, have led to two recent aircraft accidents. A new type of instrument(仪器 ) called FLIGHTWA
44、TCH would help pilots prevent airport collisions. It would be particularly helpful near airports. 68. The increasing number of flights leads to the fact that _. A. flying is no longer limited in the sky B. there is no empty space for aids to aviation control C. piloting and controlling planes is get
45、ting more difficult D. the pressure on the ground becomes greater 69. There is uncertainty about air safety because _. A. planes become bigger for the increasing number of passengers B. money spent on electronic equipment is far from enough C. suitable electronic equipment hasnt been invented yet D.
46、 it is dangerous for planes to take off or land 70. The underlined word “collisions” probably means _. A. accidents in which two planes hit each other B. misunderstandings between pilots and ground controllers C. quarrels among passengers D. breakdowns of new types of instrument 71. It can be inferr
47、ed from the passage that _. A. governments and officials have paid great attention to air safety B. there should be more companies to sell new safety aids C. English should be used in an international conversation D. understanding between pilots and ground controllers should be improved E Art museum
48、s are places where people can learn about various cultures(文化 ). The increasingly popular “design museums” that are opening today, however, perform quite a different role. Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes ev
49、en place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall. People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales it is the honoring of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the sho
