covering climate zones throughout the country.butterfly gardens can range in size from a few containers placed in a sunny spot to several acres.nectarproducing (产蜜的) plants will attract butterflies to your garden.in order to support a full butterfly life cycle，host plants (for laying eggs and used as a caterpillar food source) must also be present.throughout the country，the general requirements for butterfly gardening are the same：full sun，nectar source plants，larval (幼虫的) host plants，a pesticidefree environment，and knowledge of the local butterfly species.many butterflyattracting plants are natives and require little attention，as they are naturally adapted to the region in which they live.butterfly gardens are best planted in spring with younger plants or in fall with mature plants that will become dormant quickly and reemerge in spring.it is best not to plant in the heat of summer or the cold of winter.one of the most common mistakes in butterfly gardening is planting only one nectar source.adult butterflies have a very short lifespan.planting a variety of nectar sources will encourage more butterflies to visit the garden.planting an adequate supply of host plants gives butterflies a place to lay their eggs，which will successfully hatch (孵化) and result in butterflies that will continue to visit the garden.butterflies typically lay their eggs in late spring and hatch 36 days after they are laid.it takes 34 weeks for a caterpillar to pupate (化蛹) and 914 days to emerge as an adult.good resources for learning more about butterfly gardening include zoos，botanical gardens，butterfly houses，garden centers and nurseries，libraries and the internet.there are many good websites dedicated to butterflies and butterfly gardening.5which of the following is true，according to the passage?abutterfly gardens can be grown only in some parts of the us.bbutterfly gardens must be large in size.cbutterfly gardens should be in a sunny place.dbutterfly gardens need to plant butterflyattracting plants only.6native butterflyattracting plants are better because_. athey smell better to butterfliesbthey can adapt to the local regioncthey can grow faster and tallerdthey can be planted in a container7which seasons are suitable for planting butterfly gardens?aspring and summer. bsummer and fall.csummer and winter. dspring and fall.8which of the following is the correct order of a butterfly life cycle?ait is born as an egg.bit emerges as an adult.ca caterpillar hatches out.da caterpillar pupates.aacdb badcbcdacb ddcabb australia, the last continent, was discovered by ships belonging to some european nations in the seventeenth century. these nations were less interested in changing it into a colony (殖民地) than in exploring (勘探) it. as in the early history of the united states, it was the english who set up the settlements (新拓居者) in australia. this history and the geography of these two british colonies have some other things in common as well. australia and the united states are about the same in size, and their western lands are both not rich in soil. it was the eastern coast of australia and american that the english first settled, and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west. however, this westward movement took place more because the english were searching for better land than because the population was increasing. settlements of the western part of both countries developed quickly after gold was discovered in america in 1849 and in australia two years later. although the development of these two countries has a lot in common, there are some striking differences as well. the united states gained its independence from england by revolution while australis won its independence without having to go to war. australia, unlike the united states, was firstly truned into a colony by english prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising. by 1922, for example, australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people, or almost half as many sheep as there are people today in the united states. yet, in spite of these and other main differences, australia and the united states have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world.1. who turned australia into a colony? a.britain. b.several european countries. c.the united states of america. d.none of the above.2. in the early history of america and australia, both colonies developed towards the west firstly for her reaon that_. a. the population was increasing rapidly in the east b. the english thought there might be richer land there c. gold was discovered there d. fewer people lived there3. in the early 1920s, _. a. australia had one fifteenth as many people as sheep b. there were more sheep in australia than in the united states c. the population in australia was greater than that of the untied states d. the untied states had twice as many sheep as people4. australia, unlike the unted states,_. a. won its independence by peaceful means b. did not discover gold until the late 1840s c. was the last and biggest continent to be discovered d. was not rich in gold in its western part5. the last sentence in the last paragraph . australia and the united states have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world means _. a. the united states and australia do not have any main difference b. the united states and australia have much more in common than they have with other countries c. the untied states and australia have nothing in common with the rest of the world d. in common with the rest of the world, the united states and australia have a lot of differencescmachines in the home have a short history. sewing machines, washing machines and tumble dries are common enough today, but a hundred years ago few people could even imagine such things. however, inventors have designed and built a wide range of household machines since then. in most cases the inventor tried to patent（申请专利）his machine, to stop anyone copying it. then he tried to produce a lot of them. if the machine became popular, the inventor could make a lot of money. in 1790 the first sewing machine was patented. the inventor was an englishman called thomas saint. there was nothing to match his machine for forty years, and then someone built a similar device. he was a frenchman, bartelemy thimonier. neither of these early machines worked very well, however. it wasnt until 1846 that an inventor came up with a really efficient sewing machine. he was an american, elias howe and his machine was good enough to beat five skilled sewing women. he didnt make much money from it, however. the first commercially successful sewing machine was patented by isaac singer five years later. today, we take washing machines for granted, but there was none before 1869. the revolving drum（旋转桶）of that first machine set a pattern for the future, but it was crude by todays standards. the drum was turned by hand, and needed a lot of effort. eight years passed before someone produced an electric washing machine. the world had to wait even longer for a machine to dry clothes. the first spin-drier was another american invention, patented in 1924; but it was 20 years before such machines were widely used. it was yet another american, called bissell, who introduced the carpet sweeper. he patented the original machine back in 1876. it didnt pick up dirt very well, but it was quicker than a dustpan and brush. thirty-six years later, even the carpet sweeper was old-fashioned: modern homes now have a vacuum cleaner（吸尘器）with an electric motor to suck the dust. 60. whose sewing machine could do far more than the work that was done by five skilled sewing women? a. thomas saints. b. bartelemy thimoniers. c. elias howes. d. isaac singers. 61. according to the article, modern inventors _ . a. follow the pattern of the first revolving drum but improve it much b. only imitate the first washing machine c. power the first ever-made washing machine by electricity d. have to wait for the first spin-drier for a long time 62. the underlined word “crude” in the sentence “but it was crude by todays standards”probably means _ . a. useless b. ugly-looking c. rough d. not skillfully made 63. the article mainly tells us about _ . a. the great inventors in the world b. the important inventions in the world c. the short history of household machines d. the importance of the machines used in the home dcmichael fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by something truly fishier-the shark(鲨鱼).research by a british biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms. lauren smith, 24, is close to completing her study on sharks ability to sense pressure.if her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behaviour of sharks to predict bad weather.miss smith had previously studied the behaviour of lemon sharks in the bahamas.she then used their close relatives, lesser spotted dogfish, for further research at aberdeen university.her work-thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory - resulted from the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks off florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001.miss smith said: “ive always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks.”“i was delighted to have been able to research in the area for my degree. i know theres so much more we need to understand - but it certainly opens the way to more research.”it has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system.at the bimini shark lab in the bahamas, miss smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature, while also tracking them using gps (global positioning system) technology.in aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal(潮汐的) and temperature changes on dogfish-none of which were harmed. she also used a special lab which can mimic(模拟) oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts.she is due to complete her study and graduate later this year. she says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research.44. the passage is most probably taken from _.a. a short-story collectionb. a popular science magazinec. a research paperd. a personal diary45. what do we learn from the first four paragraph of the passage?a. sharks may be used to predict bad weather.b. sharks behaviour can be controlled.c. michael fish is not qualified for his job.d. lauren smith will become a weather forecaster.46. lauren smith conducted her research by _. a. removing hair cells from a sharks balance system b. measuring the air pressure of weather fronts c. recording sharks body temperature d. monitoring sharks reaction to weather changes47. what is the passage mainly about? a. a popular way of forecasting weather. b. a new research effort in predicting storms. c. biologists interest in the secrets of sharks. d. lauren smiths devotion to scientific research.四 、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共25分）假如你叫王丽,是一位高中生。请你用英语给报社写一封信，反映如下情况并谈谈你的想法：a. 现在有很多学生使用手机一是认为这是种时髦二是认为便于跟家人和朋友联系。b. 一些学生把手机带进教室，在课堂上经常听见手机的铃声。破坏课堂纪律。c. 有的同学还在课堂上发短信息，浪费宝贵的时间。d.
