They do this very stubbornly, so the females sometimes try to get away - or prefer to stay unobserved, he added.Ide and his colleagues brought a model of a male butterfly near the females to test their reactions and found that young females that had yet to mate kept their wings open, but those that had already mated closed them.Not only can the persistent attentions of unwanted suitors harm the delicate females, fleeing from them - with the male often in pursuit - uses up strength and can even shorten their lives, he added.Closing their wings makes them less visible, helping them avoid communication with their own species. We figured they were trying to avoid harassment by males, Ide said.59.What does the word “harassment”mean in the paragraph？A.sexual invasion B.embarassment C.attack D.threat 60.Why some some females closed their wings when males flew by？A.because the female butterfly mates only once in its life. B. because they close their wings to avoid harassment when pursued by persistent and unwanted males.C. because they dont like the male butterfly at all.D. because they are afraid of the male butterfly.61.According the the passage, which is correct?A.The females closed their wings when males flew by.B.The female butterfly mates only once in its life.C. Only the model of a male butterfly can make the young female butterflies to keep their wings open.D. Not only can the persistent attentions of wanted suitors harm the delicate females, fleeing from them - with the male often in pursuit - uses up strength and can even shorten their lives.C ( 原创, 文章选自中国日报)2011 Top Education NewsTiger Mother became well known both in the US and China after the publication of the Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua, a professor of Yale University and a Chinese immigrant mother.

American researchers have put together a 700-year record of the rainy seasons, which is expected to provide guidance for experts making weather predictions.Every year, moist （潮湿的）air masses，known as monsoon，produce large amounts of rainfall in India, East Asia, Northern Australia and East Africa. All this wet air is pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to the south.According to Edward Cook , a weather expert at Columbia University in New York., the complex nature of the climate systems across Asia makes monsoons hard to predict. In addition, climate records for the area are too recent and not detailed enough to be of much use. Therefore, he and a team of researchers spent more than fifteen years traveling across Asia, looking for trees old enough to provide long-term records. They measured the rings, or circles, inside thousands of ancient trees in more than 300 places.Rainfall has a direct link to the growth and width of rings on some kinds of trees. The researchers developed a document they are calling a Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas. It shows the effect of monsoons over seven centuries, beginning in the 1300s.Professor Cook says the tree-ring records show periods of wet and dry weather. “If the monsoon basically fails or is a very weak one, the trees affected by monsoons at that location might put on a very narrow ring. But if the monsoon is very strong, the trees affected by that monsoon might put on a wide ring for that year. So, the wide and narrow ring widths of the chronology that we developed in Asia provide us with a measure of monsoon variability.” With all this information, researchers say they can begin to improve computer climate models for predicting the behavior of monsoons.“There has been widespread famine and starvation and human dying in the past in large droughts. And on the other hand, if the monsoon is particularly heavy, it can cause extensive flooding.” said Eugene Wahl, a scientist with Americas National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “So, to get a sense of what the regional moisture patterns have been, dryness and wetness over such a long period of time in great detail, I would call it a kind of victory for climate science.”66.Whatsthe passage mainly about？A. The effects of Asian monsoons. B. The necessity of weather forecast.C. The achievements of Edward cook. D. A breakthrough in monsoon prediction.67. It is difficult for experts to predict Asian monsoons because_A. it is hard to keep long-term climate records
