18、rom its humble beginnings.In its early years, the book set its sights on (24) (satisfy) man's inborn curiosity about thenatural world around him. Its two principal fact finders, twins Norris and Ross McWhirter, moved wildly around the globe to collect facts. It was their task to find and documen

19、t aspects of life that can be sensed or observed, things that can be quantified or measured. But not just any things. They were only interested in superlatives: the biggest and the best. It was during this period (25) some of the remarkable Guinness Records were documented, answering such questions

20、as "What is the brightest star?" and "What is the biggest spider?"Once aware of the public's thirst for such knowledge, the book's authors began to branch out to cover increasingly doubtful, little-known facts. They started documenting human achievements as well. A foreru

21、nner for reality television, the Guinness Book gave people (26)chance to become famous for accomplishing odd, often pointless tasks. Records were set in 1955 for consuming 24 raw eggs in 14 minutes and in 1981 for the fastest solving of a Rubik's Cube (which took a mere 38 seconds). In 1979 a ma

He ploughed the soil, he planted the seeds, and he even set up a fence to keep out the deer. Eduardo did everything right. Or so it seems. However, w

27、hen (31)time has come, he has not one tomato, bean, or leaf of lettuce to show for his hard work. How did this happen? The answer comes in the form of a small, brown, particularly smelly insect: the stink bug.Unlike their picky cousins, stink bugs feed on some 300 species of plants, including figs,

28、blueberries, corn, and kiwi fruits as well as soybeans, peas, and weeds. Although they do little damage to the plant itself, they make the fruits and vegetables (32). For this reason, stink bugs pose the most serious threat to the big agriculturalists and macro farm operators. Macro farmers have mor

29、e (33) in their produce, and therefore have more to lose. While hobbyists like Eduardo are left to face the disappointment of an unsuccessful garden, macro farmers are forced to live with the loss of entire tracts of cash cropsafact that has left many (34) able to clothe their children or put food o

Pennsylvania lost half of its peach population, and, according to the US Apple Association, apple farmers in the mid-Atlantic states lost $37 million. This year could be worse. As a result of this (35) i

31、n thesupply of fresh fruits and vegetables, shoppers have seen (36) sometimes quite dramatic inprices at the grocery store. Prices of apples in Maryland are up 8%. In the north-Atlantic states, prices for peppers shot up an astonishing 14%. Not only are these items becoming more expensive, but they

32、are also getting harder to find. Last week, Marge Jenkins of Athens, Georgia reported having to check three different stores before encountering a decent batch of peas. And this, she assures us, is a regular (37) . Accidentally brought from Asia, the stink bug has no natural (38) in America, and thu

33、s its population is rising sharply. Reported sightings of stink bugs are becoming increasingly numerous, as the dried, brown, trapezoidal( 不规则四边形)shells of the dead bugs are everywhere in some areas. Thishas farmers and scientists alike (39) their heads in search of a remedy. Hope, they believe, may

But the (40)of such a solution is still several years away, as scientists must first determine if it is safe for the wasp to be introduced i

35、nto America. Until then, some farmers are resorting to homemade traps. Others have even contemplated the use of peacocks and praying mantises, which, they imagine, will gulp down the little stinkers.III.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of

48、them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Being able to land safely is a critically important skill for all flying animals. Whereas terrestrial animals face no particular challenge when they ne

49、ed to stop running or crawling, flying animals move at much higher speeds, and they must be careful about how they land. Hitting the ground, or even water, at full flight speed would be quite dangerous. Before touching down, they must decrease their speed in order to land safely. Both bats and birds

50、 have mastered the skill of landing, but these two types of flyers go about it quite differently.In the past it was believed that, in terms of flying mechanics, there was little difference between bats and birds. This belief was based only on assumption, however, because for years nobody had actuall

51、y studied in detail how bats move their wings. In recent years, though, researchers have discovered a number of/ '“一interesting facts about bat flight. Bats are built differently:?品_from birds, and their wings incorporate （结合） both their front and hind limbs（后肢）.This makes their limbsworking tog

52、ether more difficult for bats and, as a result, they are not very good at flying over longer distances. However, a bat can quickly change its direction of flight or completely reverse it, something a bird cannot easily do.Another interesting characteristic of bat flight is the way in which bats land

53、 upside down! Unlike birds, which touch down on the ground or on tree branches, bats can be observed flying around and then suddenly hanging upside down from an object overhead. How do they do it? A group of researchers recently used video cameras to film bats landing on nets suspended from the ceil

54、ing of their laboratory and studied the recordings in slow motion. They painted spots on the bats' wings to see in detail what hato the wings in flight and during touchdown. It turns out that the bats flew in a straight line up to the net and then quickly flipped over and attached themselves to

55、it upside down. One disadvantage to this landing routine is that the bats often slam into their landing spot with some force, which probably causes pain. However, not all bats hit their landing spots with the same speed and force; these will vary depending on the area where a bat species makes its h

56、ome. For example, a cave bat, which regularly rests on a hard stone ceiling, is more careful about its landing preparation than a bat more accustomed to landing in leafy treetops.56.
