There, right in front of me, was a small piece of wood eating a green leaf. I looked again. It was still eati
23、ng the leaf. Was I seeing things? Had the hot sun gotten to me? After all, it was summer in Costa Rica, a country in Central America.I paused, wiping sweat from my eyes. Then I moved the wood with my finger. It stopped. It looked up at me with big triangular eyes. Surprise! It was a mantid, a kind o
24、f insect, instead of a piece of wood.The mantid was hanging upside down on a branch. Its wings made it look like a piece of tree bark. Then I noticed something else. The leaf wasnt a leaf at all. The hungry mantid was really eating another insect-a katydid. By now, all that was left of the katydid w
25、as a pair of wings. A few moments later, the wings dropped to the ground. The mantid folded its long legs. It sat still. Now it looked even more like a piece of wood than when I had first seen it.I thought about how I had been fooled by these clever animals. Then I thought about how the two insects
26、go about trying to trick each other. Both mantids and Katydids are masters of disguise. Katydids are particularly good at it. Many look like something they are not. Katydids often look like plants. Many seem to be leaves. Others look like blades of grass. All day, the bugs try to stay perfectly stil
27、l. Because their bodies look like plants, most predators dont bother them while katydids eat plants.51. What is the passage mainly about?A. An experience of watching insects. B. The fighting between mantids and katydids. C. The disguise of mantids and katydids. D. The living habits of mantids and ka

30、Among all the malignancies, lung cancer is the biggest killer; more than 100,000 Americans a year die of the disease. Giving up smoking is one of the obvious ways to reduce the risk, but another answer may lie in the kitchen. According to a new report, even heavy smokers may be protected from develo
31、ping lung cancer by a simple dietary measure: a daily portion of carrots, spinach or any other vegetable or fruit containing a form of vitamin A called carotene(胡萝卜素).The finding, published in the British medical journal The Lancet is a part of a long-range investigation of diet and disease. Since 1
32、957 a team of American researchers has monitored the dietary habits and medical histories of 2,000 middle-aged men employed by the Western Electric Co, in Chicago. Led by Dr. Richard Shekelle of Chicagos Rush-Preshyterian-St. Lukes Medical Center, the researchers recently began to sort out the links
33、 between the subjects dietary patterns and cancer. Other studies of animals and humans have suggested that vitamin A offers some protection against lung cancer. The correlation seemed logical, explains Shekelle, since vitamin A is essential for the growth of the epithelia(上皮的) tissue(组织) that lines
34、the airways of the lungs.Vegetables: But the earlier research did not distinguish between two different forms of the vitamin. “Preformed” vitamin A known as retinol is found mainly in liver and dairy products like milk, cheese, butter and eggs. But vitamin A is also made in the body from carotene, w
35、hich is abundant in a variety of vegetables and fruits, including carrots, spinach, squash, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and apples.In the Western Electric study, Shekelle and his colleagues found little correlation between the incidence of lung cancer and the consumption of foods containing preformed v
36、itamin A. But when they examined the data on carotene intake, they discovered a significant relationship. Among the 488 men who had the lowest level of carotene consumption, there were fourteen cases of lung cancer, in a group of the same size that ate the most carotene, only two cases developed. Th
37、e apparent protective effect of carotene helps up even for longtime smokers-but to a lesser degree.Further studies will be necessary before the link between lung cancer and carotene can be firmly established. In the meantime, researchers warn against large numbers of vitamin A pills, because the tab
38、lets contain a form of the chemical that can be extremely toxic in high doses. Instead, they advise a well-balanced diet that includes foods rich in carotene. For a smoker, a half-cup of carrots every day might possibly make the difference between life and death.55. Which of the following is the clo
39、sest in the meaning of “malignance” in the text?A. CancerB. SicknessC. VitaminsD. Disease56. Why did Dr. Shekelle think the correlation between vitamin A and lung cancer protection was logical?A. Vitamin A causes lung cancer.B. Vitamin A cures lung cancer.C. Vitamin A is necessary for the growth of
40、the tissue lining the lungsD. Vitamin A is a molecule that prevents smoke from being inhaled.57. Carotene is present in all of the following except_.A. tomatoesB. carrotsC. squashD. butter58. Among the groups studied, who had the most cases of lung cancer?A. Those with the lowest level of carotene i
41、ntake.B. Those with the highest level of carotene intake.C. Those who ate only foods containing carotene.D. Those with the lowest intake of carrots.CChinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools
42、or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education i
43、s, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter. However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.Parents can see that th
44、eir childrens skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that todays children lack self-respect and self-confidence.The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but
45、 parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing or doing other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking d
46、emands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.Some old mac
47、hines, such as a broken radio or a TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not merely teaching a child to read a boo
48、k, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.59.Parents in China, according to this passage, _A. are too strict with their children B. are too rich to educate their childrenC. have some problems in educating their children correctlyD. are too poor to educate their children60.
49、Doing some cooking at home helps children_ A. learn how to serve their parents B. learn how to become strong and fat C. benefit from it and prepare themselves for the future D. make their parents believe that they are clever61. According to the last paragraph, we can conclude that _. A. broken radio
50、s and television sets are useful B. ones curiosity may be useful for his later life C. an engineer must fix many broken radios D. a good student should spend much time repairing radiosDThe worlds greatest basketball player walked away from the game eighteen months ago. And now he takes to air once a
51、gain.Michael Jordan was the greatest player in the basketball game, and after he retired at the top of his game he vowed. “Im never coming back to play basketball. Now in this lifetime. Never unless I change my mind.” Sometimes in February this year, Jordan did change his mind.For the league, the ti
52、ming couldnt be better. Without Jordan ratings for the last seasons play off finals dropped 31 percent. This season, things have only got worse. Despite the coming out of nice new stars like Shaquille ONeal and Dctrots Grant Hi, the games image has been full of something bad with the cries of spoil
53、sports and dissatisfaction.For the Bulls , the question is whether Jordan is in shape. According to reports, Jordan has in recent months worked out with the same personal trainer as he used to during his basketball career. And even in his retirement, he occasionally dropped by train with the team. B
54、ut that still doesnt mean hes in the same shape. In workouts last month, Jordan shot was off, but a teammate said his intensity was there. The Bulls players all say unhesitatingly they want him back.But to another audience, Jordans career and coming back means more than baskets and championships and
55、 market share. Now all across America, kids in struggling neighborhoods are talking about what Jordan means to them. They talk about his life off the court; about his career, his family and especially about his relationship with his father, James Jordan, who was murdered in 1993. Out here, to “be li
56、ke Mike” can mean a lot more than knowing how to handle a basketball.62. Which title gives the idea of the passage?A. Michael Jordan, A Big Star and Hero B. Basketball in the United StatesC. Jordan Is Coming Back to the Court D. Jordan Changed His Mind63. When did Jordan retire from the basketball c
57、ourt?A. He retired eighteen months before he vowed. B. After his father died, he was too sad to continue playing basketballC. After a game, he walked away. D.

58、 the game. B. In workouts last month, Jordans shot was off. C. The trainer didnt agree to accept him. D. The Bulls players hesitating want him back.65. The word “intensity” is closest in meaning to _. A. force to doB. increase in strength C. strong-minded D. smart and skillful66. We can infer from t
59、he passage that _ A. children are talking about Jordan B. Jordan has a good relationship with his father C. Jordan means much more to children than playing basketball D. Jordans return made sure that the Bulls would winEDisposing(处理)of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As m
60、ore and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult.During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dumpsite. Residents or trash haulers(垃圾托运者) would transport h
61、ousehold rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically(定期的) some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. The
62、first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅区的) neighborhoods. Long-distance trash hauling has been a common prac
63、tice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people
64、 can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.Recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a citys reusable wa
65、ste.67. The most suitable title for this passage would be _.A. Places for Disposing WasteB. Waste Pollution DangersC. Ways of Getting Rid of WasteD. Waste Disposal Problem68. During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways EXPECT for _.A. burying itB. recycling itC. burning itD. th
66、rowing it into rivers69. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A. Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society.B. There is cheap land to bury waste in modern society.C. It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modern society.D. Ways to deal with waste in modern society stay
67、 the same.70.
