millions of people would buy a product containing living insects？a businessman named milton levine did. he created the uncle milton ant farm more than half a century ago. today, grandchildren of the first ant colony owners are watching ants working hard on the farm.milton levine was not trained in the study of insects, also known as entomology. but he knew a lot about ants, and he designed an appealing way to share his knowledge.mr. levine began his career as a maker of unusual toys after world war . he had returned to his birthplace in pittsburgh, pennsylvania，after serving in the united states military.he got the idea for his future career from a business newsletter, which suggested that the best chances for jobs at the time were in toys. he decided to make toys. they understood that american society was about to change. the huge population increase known as the baby boom was beginning. there would be a huge demand for childrens toys.one day, he saw ants parading around a swimming pool.the sight made mr. levine remember how much he had liked watching ants as a boy on his uncles farm. those thoughts gave him the idea for the uncle milton ant farm.milton levine developed a narrow, green plastic container. the top looked like a farm, showing a farmhouse, a barn, a bridge and a windmill (风车)under those images was a divider that separated the ants underground and aboveground areas.under that was the sand where people could watch the ants digging passageways.the first uncle milton ant farms were an immediate success.they were sold in 1956.two years later，two million of the educational toys had been sold.through the years the toys continued to attract antwatchers. people buy uncle milton ant farms from stores and order from websites. during his life, mr. levine saw the sale of more than twenty million of his ant colonies.the uncle milton ant farm tells far more than how to care for the ants. for example, people receiving an uncle milton ant farm learn that the little insects are strong. some can carry loads fifty times heavier than they are. a writer remembers owning an uncle milton ant farm when he was about five years old.he says he became very good at numbers by counting the ants.语篇解读：本文介绍了uncle milton ant farm(蚂蚁农场玩具)的发明者milton levine。1which of the following words can best describe milton levine?astrong. bcreative.cloyal. dhumorous.解析：推理判断题。从他设计玩具uncle milton ant farm的相关信息可以看出他极具创新精神。答案：b2_ may be studied in the science of entomology.aroses bbutterfliesctigers dsharks解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“milton levine was not trained in the study of insects，also known as entomology.”可知entomology是“昆虫学”之意。根据常识可知只有butterflies(蝴蝶)属于昆虫，会在昆虫学中学到，故b项正确。答案：b3milton levine got his idea from the following except _.aa business newsletterbthe baby boomcants paradingda farmhouse解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“he got the idea for his future career from a business newsletter.”“the huge population increase known as the baby boom was beginning.there would be a huge demand for childrens toys.”以及第三段中的“he saw ants parading around a swimming pool.”等信息可知，他从商务通讯、婴儿潮及蚂蚁搬家中得到启发，发明了这个蚂蚁农场玩具。d项没有提到。答案：d4what is the main idea of the last paragraph?ahow to care for the ants.bants are strong and diligent.cthe uncle milton ant farm is more than a toy.dthe uncle milton ant farm is very popular.解析：段落大意题。根据最后一段的中心句“the uncle milton ant farm tells far more than how to care for the ants.”可知，本段主要讲这个蚂蚁农场玩具除了告诉大家怎么去照顾蚂蚁外，还有更深层的教育功能。答案：cb(2012宁德市质量检测)donald had his own difficulties sleeping that night. not just because of the bright lights of the shelter or peoples constant voices, it was the happening repeatedly nightmare (噩梦) that caused him to stay awake, to fear sleep. donald was back in his small house. he did his best to ignore the howling winds outside his window. yet he couldnt turn out the fearful whimpers (呜咽声) of his little dog, or the uncomfortable sounds of his mother anxious in her room next door, unable to sleep through the storm despite her insistence they would be all right.donald didnt want his mother to be upset, but on some level，he was glad to hear she was awake. it meant he wasnt alone in the dark. though he was 12, until recently it was impossible for donald to fall asleep unless his mother lay down by his side.suddenly there was a crash. their living room window is shattered (打碎) by 125mileanhour winds. troy rushed to donald and sat anxiously on the edge of his bed. he did his best to calm his mother, and she to comfort him.soon water was seeping(渗透) into the singlefloor house.quickly it rose from ankle level to leg level. at donalds insistence, they pushed their way through the water now chest high toward the front door. when they fought their way into the living room, water rose to their chins.it was a struggle for the boy and mother to stay afloat. in a total panic, desperate to hold on to something, troy caught a curtain rod (杆). shes breathing hard, shouting that she couldnt swim.donald called out，“mom ! hold on！” just then donald also caught a floating wood board.语篇解读：本文是记叙文，主要介绍了一对经历暴风雨的母子的故事。5the passage is mainly about _.ahow a storm happened and caused damagebhow a mother and son experienced a stormchow a mother and son survived a stormdhow a son helped his mother in a storm解析：主旨大意题。第一、二、三段写暴风雨来临之初母子俩的焦虑心情，后文描写母子俩在雨水涌入房子后往外跑的情景，由此可知，全文主要围绕母子俩在暴风雨中的经历进行叙述，由此判断选b。答案：b6. which of the following is mentioned in the story?athe rising sun.bthe broken door.cthe lucky dog.dthe noisy environment.解析：细节理解题。由第一段中“peoples constant voices”“the howling winds”“the fearful whimpers (呜咽声) of his little dog”和“the uncomfortable sounds of his mother”可判断，环境是嘈杂的，故选d项。答案：d7which word can best describe troys feelings at the beginning of the storm?aexcited. bcalm.canxious. ddesperate.解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“the uncomfortable sounds of his mother anxious in her room next door”和第三段中的“troy rushed to donald and sat anxiously on the edge of his bed.he did his best to calm his mother”可知，暴风雨来临之初，troy (donald的母亲)是忧虑和害怕的。答案：c8. what will the author most probably talk about next?ahow the other people struggled in the storm.bwhy the storm happened.cwhat damage the storm caused.dhow donald and troy struggled to save themselves.解析：推理判断题。根据最后两段内容“母亲抓住了一根窗帘杆，儿子抓住了一块木板”可推知接下来作者极有可能写他们母子俩如何在暴风雨中自救，如果作者接着写a、b、c三个话题的内容，则显得太突兀，与上文内容衔接不上。答案：db卷.完形填空(2012临沂市质量检测)when i began teaching in a university, i

sat next to a man ill call clayton. clayton kept talking about himself all through the entire conversation: he had solved problems no one else could; only his views were right; other researchers work was inaccurate or unimportant. i could not put in a word. extremely annoyed, i planned to avoid clayton in that future. in fact, i decided never to have another conversation with him.a few days later i was in an education class. our professor explained how one child could become the target of the other students ridicule (讥笑)“usually its because the class sees their own weaknesses glaringly magnified (放大) in that student. they dont want to admit they have the same weakness, so they ridicule and exclude the student. the behavior of both the class and the excluded student is caused by personal insecurity.”as i took notes, suddenly i thought of clayton. it struck me that i have many of the same faults. how easily i rule a conversation and leave others out. i, too, sometimes feel that only my opinion is right. my concerns or work easily seems most important. as my professor had described, i reacted negatively to someone in whom i experienced my own weakness.i changed my mind. instead of avoiding clayton, ill try to listen patiently with the same kindness and acceptance that i need.语篇解读：古语说，“以人为鉴，可明得失”。教授的话使作者在clayton身上看到了自己的一些缺点，于是她改变了以前的想法，不回避clayton，而是耐心地听他说话。1the writer was extremely annoyed with clayton partly because _.ahe said not all his views were rightbhe wouldnt let her put in a wordche kept silent all through the dinnerdhe was too particular about the food解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的第二句话和第三句可知，由于clayton一直谈论着自己，作者插不上话，所以对
