These large orange and black insects brighten parks and gardens as they fly lightly among the flowers. What makes monarchs particularly interesting is that they migrate(迁徙) —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 Mexico（墨西哥湾）into Texas. Once in Mexico, they settle themselves in one of about fifteen places in a mountain forest filled with fir trees（杉树）. Each place provides a winter home for millions of monarchs. The butterflies are so many that they often cover entiretrees. When spring comes, they begin their long journey 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 of 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 and making marks on the insects. By recatching a monarch with such a mark and noticing where it came from, the next scientist can get to know things like the butterfly’s age and its routing（路线）.36. One of the places where monarchs spend the winter is ________ .A. the Gulf of MexicoB. an area in MississippiC. a forest in MexicoD. a plain in Texas37. The routing of monarchs’ migration can be learned ________ .A. by examining the marks made on themB. by collecting their eggs in the mountainsC. by comparing their different agesD. by counting the dead ones in the forests38. What is the subject discussed in the passage?A. Migration of monarchsB. Scientists’ interest in monarchsC. Winter home of monarchsD. Life and death of monarchsBI fell in love with England because it was quaint（古雅）—all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners —people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.I regret that th ere are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb（花了许多钱）on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p.m. I used to use it , but now I’m afraid.The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex（英国一郡名）I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I look him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.39. The writer doesn’t like London because she ________ .A. is not used to the life there nowB. has lived there for seventeen yearsC. prefers to live in an old-fashioned houseD. has to be polite to everyone she meets there40. Where do people usually meet their friends in England?A. In a cafeB. In a restaurantC. In a nightclubD. In a pub41. The underlined part “it” (in Para.4) refers to ________ .A. a taxiB. the moneyC. a bombD. public transport42. The writer took her neighbour to France for Christmas because he ________ .A.felt lonely in EnglandB.had never been to FranceC.was from a typical French familyD.didn’t like the British idea of familyCIt seemed that some people go out of their way（特地）to get into trouble. That’s more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.“I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirens（警笛）going, I fell in behind（在后面排成一行）a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder.”But Hyde couldn’t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in（介入）and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination. At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn’t needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about.“Just about that time,” Hyde says, “I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He’d blown his engine. Now he had to stop.”“After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn’t have a driver’s license.”That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty—a thousand dollars for the new engine—not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.43. The meaning of “panicked” in Paragraph 2 is related to ________ .A. shameB. hateC. angerD. fear44. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road.B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene.C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.D. Because he wanted to overtake（赶超）other cars on the shoulder.45. Which of the following statements is true?A. Someone else was taking care of the injured person.B. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene.C. Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car.D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40.46. The driver of the Firebird ________.A.took a wrong turn on the wayB. had some trouble with his carC.was stopped by the police officerD.paid for the expenses of the accident47. What is probably the best title for the article?A. Losing His Way?B. Going My Way?C. Fun All the Way?D. Help on the Way?DShopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand（品牌）of product on the shelf.Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged（包装）in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually（最后）, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package —blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears Soap, who for 25 year has used pretty little girls to promote（促销）their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.”48. Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to thetext?A. The cost of its packageB. The price of the productC. The colour of its packageD. The brand name of the product49. The underlined part “the colours turned the customers off” (in Para.3) means thatthe colours ________ .A.attracted the customers stronglyB. had weak effects on the customersC. tricked the customers into shoppingD. caused the customers to lose interest50. Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?A. The way to promote goods.B. The discovery of a genius.C. The team to produce a good productD. The brand name used by successful producers.51. Which of the following would be the best title for this text?A.Choice of Good Products.B.Disadvantages of Products.C.Effect of Packaging on Shopping.D. Brand Name and Shopping Tricks.EJules Verne was a Frenchman who was born in 1828 and died in 1905. He read a great many scientific books and wrote a number of exciting books about the things which he thought that scientists and inventors would one day be able to do. Years later, many of the things really happened. At that time, however, his stories seemed like fairy tales.Jules Verne’s most famous book is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.（A league is an old word meaning a distance of about three miles）. In those days submarines had not been invented but he described an underwater ship very like a modern one.Many of the things Jules wrote about in his books more than a hundred years ago to look into the future, however, were surprisingly exact. In his book From the Earth to the Moon he wrote at the age of about forty, three men and a dog made a journey around the moon in a hollow ship fired from a gun. After going around the moon, they returned to the earth and splashed down into the sea not far from where the first real moon traveler landed in July, 1969.52.
