Warkentin made the surprising discovery while studying redeyed tree frogs in Costa Rica.In this species，female frogs attach jellylike clumps(果冻一样的块状物)of their eggs to the undersides of leaves.The leaves hang on branches that dangle(悬挂)over ponds.After they hatch from the eggs，the tadpoles(蝌蚪)then fall into the water，where they eventually grow intoadult frogs.Tree frog eggs usually grow for 6 days before hatching.If they sense that a hungry snake is about to attack，however，they can hatch up to 2 days ahead of schedule. As the snakes are unable to swim，by falling into the water early，the tadpoles can escape.If hatching early helps protect redeyed tree frogs from snakes，you might wonder why their eggs dont always hatch sooner.It turns out that hatching early brings its own danger.Once tadpoles land in the water，hungry fish and other animals like to eat them too.Staying in their eggs for a full 6 days，then，allows frog embryos(胚胎)to grow big and strong.This extra growth improves their chances of surviving in the water.68.It can be inferred from the passage that fears .A.help animals grow bigger and strongerB.are less common among young animalsC.help animals move a lot to fit the environmentD.are more or less important in order for animals to survive69.We are told in the passage that tree frogs .A.face danger both inside their eggs and in the waterB.will grow fast if they fall into the water laterC.are surprisingly clever when inside their eggsD.stay in their eggs longer if they are frightened70.What do you think would be discussed in the following paragraph?A.Further explanations as to why tree frogs hatch ahead of schedule.B.How the unborn frogs know when a snake is about to attack them.C.Another example of animals that responds to fear in an unexpected way.D.How tree frogs improve their chances of survival before falling into the water.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs. 71 Some people are compulsive(难以自制的)shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.72 Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day，but its more than a common hobby for some of them.They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it.They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they dont need.Even though they dont have enough money，they buy everything they want.The question is，why do they have this addiction? There isnt a specific answer.Some people go shopping when they are sad，worried，upset or lonely and they want to feel better.They use this activity as a way to forget their problems.Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. 73Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction，but it can bring out problems.Some of them can be psychological.If this is the case，people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit.However，the process，like for most addictions，is long，and they suffer a lot. 74 They just think about satisfying their feelings，so they spend money they dont have. 75A.Once you are addicted to alcohol or drugs，it is difficult to get rid of.B.Over the years，shopping has become a very common activity.C.They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.D.However in modernday society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions.E.People addicted to computer games consider the games as great ways to amuse themselves.F.They get deep in debt，and they can even go bankrupt(破产)and get sent to prison.G.It can also cause financial problems.第四部分：书面表达(共两节，35分)第一节情景作文(20分)请根据下列内容，在你校英语校刊上发表一篇稿件。1、目前中国西南部发生严重干旱。2、学生会将于5月6日中午12：30在餐厅门口举行用自己的零花钱为受灾地区孩子买水的活动。3、希望全校同学从我做起，节约水资源。参考词汇：干旱drought 词数不少于60。第二节 开放作文(15分)请根据下面提示，写一篇短文。词数不少于50。In your spok
