46、he island of New Zealand, there is a (蚂蚱)grasshopper-like species of insect that is found nowhere else on earth. New Zealanders have given it the nickname weta, which is a native Maori word meaning “god of bad looks”. Its easy to see why anyone would call this insect a bad-looking bug. Most people f
47、eel disgusted at the sight of these bulky(笨重的)，slow-moving creatures.Wetas are natural creatures; they come out of their caves and holes only after dark. A giant weta can grow to over three inches long and weigh as much as 1.5 ounces. Giant wetas can hop up to two feet at a time. Some of them live i
48、n trees, and others live in caves. They are very long-lived for insects, and some adult wetas can live as long as two years. Just like their cousins grasshoppers and crickets, wetas are able to “sing” by rubbing their leg parts together, or against their lower bodies.Most people probably dont feel s
49、ympathy for these endangered creatures, but they do need protecting. The slow and clumsy wetas have been around on the island since the times of the dinosaurs, and have evolved and survived in an environment where they had no enemies until rats came to the island with European immigrants. Since rats
50、 love to hunt and eat wetas, the rat population on the island has grown into a real problem for many of the native species that are unaccustomed to its presence, and poses a serious threat to the native weta population.66.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The weta

They are very active in the daytime.D. They have a short lifespan for insects.69The underlined word “its” in the la
53、st paragraph is the closest in meaning to “_”.A. The dinosaurs B. The wetas C. The islands D. The rats70From which of the following is the passage LEAST likely to be taken?A. A science magazine. B. A travel guide. C. A business journal. D. biology textbook.PART WRITING (45 marks)SECTION A (10 marks)
54、 Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. The history of Mothers Day is pretty interesting. An early form of the idea may have originated in the 17th century England as “Mothering S
55、unday”, on which the servants, who generally lived with their employers, were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers. A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along to provide a festive touch.Mothers Day, first suggested in 1872, is linked to the anti-war efforts of Ju
56、lia Ward Howe. She hoped a day set aside to honour mothers would be a way to promote peace. In 1907 a woman by the name of Anna Jarvis took Howes idea a step further and began a campaign for a nationally recognized Mothers Day.After considerable effort, Anna Jarvis finally saw her dream realized. On
57、 May 9, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson made the official proclamation(宣布) that Mothers Day would be an annual holiday on the second Sunday in May. And so it is to this day.For those of us whose lives have been shaped and nurtured by loving moms, the day is a wonderful opportunity to say thank you. U
58、nfortunately not everyones experience of family life evokes （唤起）gratitude. In the complicated maze of human existence, not all mother/child relationships are positive. Evoking the image of Mom for some can be an invitation down a painful memory lane.There is also the reality that not all mothering f
59、igures are actually mothers. Hundreds of thousands of children have been raised by foster moms （养母）who never had children of their own, but who gave maternal （母亲般的）love to children that needed them. Aunts and older sisters have filled this role as well.All I am saying is that it is complicated. We m
60、ight wish that every family had an ideal balance of motherly and fatherly love, but that is simply not the case. There are many different ways that mothering happens. We may as well celebrate the ups and downs of our common life. For those whose childhood evokes praise and thanksgiving, let us give
61、thanks. But for those whose childhood was marked by fear and loss, then let us offer healing.In our world, theres no reason why all experiences of family life, good and bad, cant be included.Title: 71._SECTION B (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the
62、 information given in the passage. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is one of the most famous American novels. Published in 1884, it was one of the first novels in the USA written in common, everyday language. For example, using non-standard English, Twain wrote, I havent got any mon
63、ey, to mean I do not have any money. In this way, Twain made his characters very true to life.The story is told by Huckleberry Finn, called Huck for short, who runs away to escape his abusive father. At first, Huck goes to a small island in the middle of the Mississippi River. There, he finds Jim, a
64、 black slave who has run away to escape slavery. The two of them stay on the island for a few weeks and become friends, but they must leave because Huck learns that people are looking for Jim. They decide to travel on a raft on the Mississippi River to reach the Ohio River, which will take them nort
65、h to a state that does not allow slavery.75.73.72.During their journey, Huck and Jim visit many places along the river and meet many different people. Unfortunately, most of the people they meet are not good. For instance, Huck and Jim meet a family, the Grangerfords, who have been fighting with ano
66、ther family, the Shepherdsons, for so many years that nobody remembers how the fight began. While Huck stays with the Grangerfords, the fighting starts again, and several members of both families are killed. Later, Huck and Jim meet the King and the Duke, two men who take control of their raft and m
67、ake money by tricking people. During the confusion following one of these tricks, Huck and Jim escape with their raft.74.Although the people Huck and Jim meet are bad, they are also funny. Mark Twain used humor to show readers the problems of American society in the 1800s. More importantly, despite
68、all of the bad things that happen to Huck and Jim, the novel has a happy ending for both of them. Jim gets his freedom because his owner has died and set him free in her will, and Huck learns that his father has died, so he is also safe.76.lives.The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an adventurous a
