50、 come from nature，protecting wild plant species is quite important，scientists say.There are already many other seed banks safeguarding food crops，which only account for 0.6 percent of plant diversity.For Kews next goalto collect a quarter of wild varieties by 2020the botanists need 10 million pounds

57、o many earthquakes in this area.Scientists can do nothing to control earthquakes or volcanoes.This was shown clearly on May 10,1980.At 8：32 that morning，Mount St.Helens in Washington state erupted. The top of the mountain was blown off.Over 60 peoplecampers，scientists，journalists，and forest workers
58、were killed.Hundreds of square miles of forests were knocked down.In towns over 100 miles away，day suddenly became night. An ash cloud hid the sun for many hours.Towns and fields in Washington，Oregon，and Idaho were covered with dirty gray ash.Scientists knew that Mount St.Helens might erupt soon.But
59、 no one could say when. Scientists had asked people to move away because the volcano was becoming dangerous.But Harry Truman would not leave his home.Now it is covered with many feet of dirty ash.But slowly，life is returning to the dead area around the mountain.Grass and small plants are becoming to
60、 grow again.Deer and birds have been seen.The land will never be the same as it once was.

Athe body of old HarryBthe location(place)of Harrys homeCthe opening on the top of Mount St.HelensDthe place where Harry probably died答案B词义猜测题。该段提到“But Harry R. Truman. would not leave his ho
64、me”，接下来文章说“Now it is covered with many feet of dirty ash”，因此it在这里指Harrys home。 CThe ground we walk on seems firm, but deep under the earth and under the sea the rocks change and move. In some parts of the world there are“fire mountains”， which we call volcanoes. From time to time they burst open and
65、 throw out fire and burning ash. These volcanoes are very dangerous.Hong Kong does not have any volcanoes but there are many in Indonesia and Philippines. There is also a famous mountain near Tokyo, Japan, which is a volcano too. Its name is Mount Fuji. For much of the year, it is covered with snow.
66、One of the most famous volcanoes which erupted(喷发)in recent times was Krakatoa, on an island in Indonesia. The first explosions(爆发)took place on 20th May, 1883, but the big eruption did not come until the 26th and 27th August of that year. The people on the island were used to the explosions by that
67、 time, and so they were completely unprepared for this terrible happening. Almost all the people on the island died and the explosion also made huge waves in the sea, which drowned(淹死)many people on the other island nearby. After the eruption was over, people saw that the whole northern part of the
68、island had completely disappeared. Scientists say that 15 cubic(立方)kilometers of rocks and ash were thrown up in the explosion. The noise of the explosion was heard nearly 5,000 kilometers away in the middle of the Indian Ocean, and the city of Jakarta was completely dark for about two and a half ho
69、urs.【语篇解读】 本文以日本的富士山为重点，介绍了世界火山的一些情况。64There are many volcanoes_.

70、ndonesia and Philippines. ”看出火山并不是到处都有，排除A项和B项，香港没有火山，排除C项，故选D项。 65Mount Fuji is famous just because_.Ait is covered with snow for much of the year Bit is a volcanoCit is near Tokyo Dit is in Japan答案B从“There is also a famous mountain near Tokyo，Japan，which is a volcano too. Its name is Mount Fuji. F
71、or much of the year，it is covered with snow.”看出富士山出名主要是因为它是一座火山。 66The people near Krakatoa were unprepared when it had its biggest explosion because people there_.Ahad never met any explosions of the volcano beforeBwere used to the explosions of the volcanoes by that timeCdidnt want to leave their
72、islandDcould do nothing but wait答案B从“The people on the island were used to the explosions by that time，and so they were completely unprepared for this terrible happening.”看出当地的人们已经习惯了它的爆发，因此，当最大的爆发发生时，人们没有准备。 67People who lived 5,000 kilometers away from Krakatoa could_.Asee that 15 cubic kilometers
73、 of rocks and ash were thrown upBhear the noise of explosionCsee the huge waves Dsee that Krakatoa was dark答案B从“The noise of the explosion was heard nearly 5,000 kilometers away in the middle of the Indian Ocean.”看出几乎5 000千米远的人们都能够听到它的声音，故选B项，并不一定能够看到岩石和灰烬，排除A项。 DAs they migrate(迁移)，butterflies and
74、moths choose the winds they want to fly with，and they change their body positions if they start floating in the wrong direction.This new finding suggests that insects may employ some of the same methods that birds use for traveling long distances.Scientists have long thought that insects were simply
75、 at the mercy of the wind.Fascinating as their skills of flight are，migrating behavior has been difficult to study in insects because many long distant trips happen thousands of feet above ground. Only recently have scientists developed technologies that can detect such little creatures at such grea
76、t heights.To their surprise，though，the insects werent passive travelers on the winds.In autumn，for example，most light winds blew from the east，but the insects somehow sought out ones that carried them south and they positioned themselves to navigate directly to their winter homes.Even in the spring，
77、when most winds flowed northward，the insects didnt always go with the flow.If breezes werent blowing in the exact direction they wanted to go，the insects changed their body positions to compensate.Many migrating birds do the same thing.The study also found，butterflies and moths actively flew within
78、the air streams that pushed them along.By adding flight speeds to wind speeds，the scientists calculated that butterflies and moths can travel as fast as 100 kilometers an hour.The findings may have realworld applications.With climate warming，migrating insects are growing in number.Knowing how and wh
79、en these pests move could help when farmers decide when to spray their crops.【语篇解读】 随着它们的迁徙，蝴蝶和飞蛾在飞行中会选择风向，并且如果它们走错了方向，它们会改变身体的位置。68Whats the main idea of the text?

80、ouble in observing insects.答案C主旨大意题。通读尤其从文章第一句：“随着它们的迁徙，蝴蝶和飞蛾在飞行中会选择风向，并且如果它们走错了方向，它们会改变身体的位置”可知：蝴蝶和飞蛾有自己的方向。69Scientists originally thought that_.Ainsects always waited for their favourable windsBinsects chose the winds they wanted to rideCinsects were just blown about by the windDinsects positione
