It is famous for its yearly migration（迁徙）from the northern part of North America to Mexico, There, millions of monarchs spend the winter together in one small area. This migration is one of the greatest wonders of nature. Yet this behavior has now put the monarch at risk.Every September, millions of monarchs from the United States fly to Mexico. After about two months of flying time, they reach their sanctuary(庇护所)in central Mexico. Then, in the warm climate of private and quiet valleys, far from most human activity, the butterflies create one of natures great scenes. They cover every tree with bright color. The show lasts until spring, when the butterflies return north.While they are all crowded together, the monarchs are highly weak. If the environment in those valleys was disturbed, the whole species could be hurt or even die out. That is why for many years scientists who knew about the monarchs winter sanctuary kept the location a secret.In recent years, however, the monarchs secret has been discovered. Today, the butterflies winter sanctuary is crowded with tourists, who disturb the environment. Worse still, local farmers who need more land to farm have begun to take up the area. They are cutting down trees, making it difficult for the butterflies to survive. They should not farm in the monarchs sanctuary.People should act immediately to protect the species winter sanctuary. Local farmers must be helped so that they no longer need to take land from the butterflies. Tourist visits to the butterflies hidden valleys must also be limited. Unless these steps are taken soon, in a few years the monarch butterfly of North America may be just a beautiful memory.（1）What do we know about monarch butterflies? A . They fly to the US in autumn.B . They spend the winter together.C . They are the most beautiful butterflies.D . They have been known to human beings until recent years.（2）What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A . The monarchs diet.B . The monarchs colors.C . The monarchs life cycle.D . The monarchs migration.（3）Why did scientists keep the monarchs winter sanctuary a secret? A . To keep the valleys from being destroyed.B . To stop farmers from cutting down trees.C . To do their research secretlyD . To protect the monarchs.（4）What is the purpose of the text? A . To tell about a great place to watch monarch butterflies.B . To provide information about monarch butterflies.C . To ask people to protect monarch butterflies.D . To call on people to save the environment.18. （6分）（2015玉林）阅读理解AFast and Furious 7Time: April 3, 2015May 3, 2015Place: Golden CinemaPrice: ￥45An exciting movie is waiting for you!Star Clothes StoreTime: May 1, 2015May 7, 2015Place: 168 Center StreetPrice: 50% offCome and buy clothes at our store!Colorful PastoralTime: 8:00 am6:00 pm every dayPlace: Chaoyang DistrictPrice: ￥30(￥20 for students)Enjoy yourselves in our park!（1）When can we see the movie Fast and Furious 7 in Golden Cinema?

However, did you know that meat can also be made in a lab? American company Just has announced* that lab-grown meat could be on some restaurant menus in the United States and Asia by the end of 2018.Lab meat is sometimes referred to as clean meat. It is made using the stem* cells of living livestock. The cells need to be grown in a lab for a few weeks. For example, making a hamburger patty takes about nine weeks. This is faster than raising a cow, which usually takes over 20 weeks.The first clean meat was a beef burger that was produced in 2013. But its taste was described as quite dry. How does clean meat taste now? People who tried the latest clean meat said that it tasted just like traditional meat.Clean meat has other advantages. It is healthier than traditional meat. Meat producers can control what type of fat goes into the meat. They can produce clean meat that contains healthy fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids. This kind of fat is good for peoples hearts.Clean meat can also help to solve global warming. According to The Washington Post, about 14.5% of the planets greenhouse gas emissions come from raising livestock. Thats more than the emissions from every car, train, ship and airplane in the world combined. It is predicted that using clean meat could lower greenhouse gas emissions by 96%.However, the cost of making lab-grown meat is very high at present. With developing technology, scientists hope that they can make lab-grown meat in a cheap way and finally bring this kind of food to our plates.（1）According to the passage, lab meat is _.
