第二部分阅读(共两节, 满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分37. 5分)
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
High-tech cars
Continuing with efforts to deliver a zero-carbon event, Olympic organizers have partnered with a company to create several new vehicles to transport athletes between the Olympic Villge and their events using renewable energy sources. Such vehicles are battery-powered, which use LiDAR technology to map out its surroundings and drive autonomously. The company has also developed cell-powered buses and each can carry at most 38 passengers and transport them while releasing no carbon.
Robotic assistants
Meet the Human Support Robot (HSR)and Delivery Support Robot (DSR), both supporting the various activities of Olympic viewers. From guiding people to their seats to delivering food, these handy robots have been designed under the concept of providing viewers with support, including those with disabilities.
Remote communication
Near life-size displays have been combined with a set of wheels to create the T-TR1. These machines allow remote viewers to have two-way communication with people at the events using a built-in 360-degree camera.
Remote viewers
If there was ever a need for creating more innovative ways to virtually attend events, that time is now. An Olympic partner has developed the T-HR3 robot for remote viewers. This machine is controlled via a system that allows a person to move the entire body of the T-HR3 through wearable controls. However, the 5G wireless connection between the system and the robot can only support a physical distance of up to six miles.
21. What is the main advantage of High-tech cars?
A. Their safety. B. Their eco-friendliness.
C. Their surroundings. D. Their capacity.
22. What can a DSR do?
A. It can bring food to viewers.
B. It can function as a player.
C. It can serve as a viewer's seat.
D. It can help disabled players.
23. To experience the games virtually, which might a non-athlete turn to?
A. LiDAR. B. HSR. C. DSR. D. T-HR3
B
Looking like something from a sci-fi movie, the SeaOrbiter was designed to tower above the waves as it made its way through some of the most unexplored parts of the world's oceans. It is a breathtaking ship, featuring its underwater platform and advanced science labs. It can host a crew of up to 22 for long-term scientific missions lasting over six months.
Its scale when seen on the horizon (地平线) would have been great. While modern ships usually sit flat to the surface and have most of their mass laid out, the SeaOrbiter was to resemble a floating tower, rising to a total height of 51 meres, the height of Nelson's Column in London — with over half below the ocean.
Designed not just to move in the seas, but also to explore their depths, six of the SeaOrbiter's twelve decks were to sit below sea level, bringing the undersea kingdom to life and providing uninterrupted underwater observation for the scientists and explorers aboard. Its goal was to pullback the curtain on one of nature's most unexplored habitats.
Despite covering 70 per cent of our planet, with only 5 per cent explored and less than 20 per cent mapped, our oceans are still largely a mystery. What's more, humans have explored less than 1 per cent of the deep ocean. In fact, we know less about the ocean floor than we do about the surface of the Moon.
Construction of the 1, 000-ton ship had been due to start in 2014, but by May 2015 only the first part of the construction was successfully completed. Construction was made possible by a crowd-funding campaign.
24. What is the unique feature of the SeaOrbiter according to paragraph 1?
A. Being specially designed based on a sci-fi film.
B. Being shaped exactly like an unexplored tower.
C. Possessing underwater platform and advanced science labs.
D. Enabling 22 people to carry out long-term scientific tasks.
25. Why does the author mention Nelson's Column?
A. To introduce the distant origin of the ship.
B. To stress the underwater part of the ship.
C. To illustrate the amazing height of the ship.
D. To highlight the floating ability of the ship.
26. What do the data in paragraph 4 imply?
A. Over 20 per cent of the oceans has been charted.
B. There is much for us to explore about the ocean floor.
C. Humans have explored only 5 per cent of the deep sea.
D. The ocean floor is easier to reach than the surface of the Moon.
27. Why was the SeaOrbiter designed?
A. To move in space in a usual way.
B. To compete with space exploration.
C. To uncover the mysteries of deep seas.
D. To complete a crowd-funding campaign.
C
Worrying news stories about people with cancer seem never-ending. The physical condition is often cruel. It also has some psychological characteristics that make it fearsome. We are more frightened by threats over which we feel we have no control. More than any other diseases, cancer causes various worries, which helps explain why it has been the most horrible in richer nations with longer lifespans for decades.
One overlooked effect of this fear has been the creation of cancerphobia, which George called in 1955. He wrote:“In terms of the total number of people affected, fear of cancer is causing more suffering than cancer itself.” In important ways, our deep fear of it is outdated, a phobia that no longer matches the evidence and causes huge harm.
Most people believe a diagnosis (诊断) of cancer means death. Slow but steady progress in the past few decades has made roughly two-thirds of all cancers completely curable.
Many people believe cancer screening is beneficial because it is always best to find cancer as early as possible. Screening helps, certainly, but it also harms. There is much evidence that these worries can leave lasting psychological scars. Worse still screening inappropriately finds “overdiagnosed” cancers. They are found early when small and meet the sick criteria of cancer under a microscope, but grow slowly or never cause any symptoms.
Some people believe most cancers are caused by environmental carcinogens (致癌物). We now know cancer is primarily caused by naturally occurring mutations (变异) to DNA as we age. Cancers only became common in the early 1900s, as average lifespans in richer nations reached into the 50s.
We can’t entirely cure cancer. Nor can we entirely “cure” cancerphobia. But we must work to reduce the harm they both cause to our health and to society in general. Research into fighting cancer has come a long way. The work on our cancerphobia is just beginning.
28. What can be known about cancer in paragraph 1?
A. Cancer puts rich people at greater risk.
B. Cancer spreads quickly throughout the world.
C. Cancer goes beyond the control of humans.
D. Cancer threatens people physically and mentally.
29. What does the author think of cancer screening?
A. It is a double-edged sword.
B. It proves an effective measure.
C. It leaves patients with physical scars.
D. It sets the standard for early diagnosis.
30. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A There’s no need to worry too much about cancer.
B. The environment has nothing to do with cancer.
C. People over fifty are certain to develop cancer.
D. Research on cancerphobia has made big progress.
31. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To reveal secrets.
B. To show sympathy.
C. To modernize beliefs.
D. To gain recognition.
D
Making the world safer for butterflies can be as easy as doing a bit of nothing. Ecologist Richard Fox suggests a surprising yet effective way to protect butterflies: allowing some part of one’s yard unmanaged. This a bit “wild” grassland can significantly boost butterfly populations. The key, Richard Fox explains, lies in providing safe space for caterpillars (毛毛虫), who often fall victim to lawn mowers(割草机). This approach emphasizes the importance of resisting the urge to tidy up everything, allowing nature to take its course.
Richard Fox and his colleague analyzed data from their organization’s Great Butterfly Survey to investigate the impact of unmowed yards on butterfly populations. They found that in yards surrounded by other houses, long grass could increase butterfly abundance by up to 18 percent. In yards surrounded entirely by farms, the increase could be as high as 93 percent. This suggests that even if individual yards don’t see huge increases, the total area of safe space could add up if a lot of yards went a little wild.
The practice of leaving yards unmowed would not only help butterflies but could also be more beneficial for moths. Their caterpillars are more likely to feed on grass than butterfly larvae (幼虫), making unmanaged yards a perfect habitat for them. Moths, which are more numerous than butterflies and tend to fly at night, are a “key cog in the ecosystem, ”Richard Fox says. “They’re supporting and maintaining food chains for many of our garden birds and many small mammals like bats. ”
Whether for butterflies or moths, the study highlights an underappreciated diet. “So often gardeners think about plants and nectar (花蜜) when planting butterfly gardens, ” said Matthew Shepherd. “That’s great, but it’s not supporting all the life stages of insects. Often nectar is a grownup food. What caterpillars need is baby food. ”
32. What does Richard Fox suggest to protect butterflies?
A. Planting colorful flowers. B. Leaving part of yards wild.
C. Keeping yards neat and tidy. D. Creating all-native grasslands.
33. Unmanaged yards can benefit butterfly populations most when they are________.
A. located within some farms B. surrounded by houses
C. filled with wild animals D. maintained regularly
34. What does the underlined word “cog” in paragraph 3 possibly mean?
A. Sign. B. Tool. C. Part. D. Rate.
35. Which of the following may Matthew Shepherd agree with?
A. Gardeners should pay more attention to grownup insects.
B. There are sufficient plants for different insects in gardens.
C. More flowers are needed to attract more butterflies.
D. Baby insects are supposed to be well fed in gardens.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was shy when I was young — everyone made me nervous. I was also what most teachers and parents would call a “good kid”, following the rules, and rarely questioning authority. But then one day, one single ride on a school bus changed all that.
The school bus that day was smelly and crowded. The windows were all rolled up by the bus driver’s orders — it was raining too hard outside. Most of the other kids were engaged in conversations and games. I sat alone as usual, speaking to no one. Over and over, I carefully wiped a small circle on my window so that I could watch outside.
The bus stopped, waiting for an accident to be cleared. The driver, Mrs. Foster, was particularly tense that day and had yelled at several kids who had been standing up in their seats.
As I sat quietly, I saw a little cat on the other side of the road. It was all wet and didn’t seem to know where to go. I wanted to help the cat, but the bus driver would never allow me off the bus. I would get into big trouble for trying to rescue a cat across a busy, rainy street. I also thought that if I pointed out the miserable cat, the other kids would probably think I was strange. I couldn’t bear that.
My window was cloudy again, and when I wiped the window clear, I could see the cat was now struggling in running water and shaking. I saw absolute terror in its dark, round eyes.
I felt like I was drowning along with the little cat, tears rolling down my cheeks. I wanted to rush off the bus without asking for permission to save the cat. But I also pictured the other kids staring at me. I sat still, unable to act. The bus began to move forward. I could see the cat panicked. I glanced around, but no one else seemed to have noticed. I hadn’t even realized that I was standing up.
When Mrs. Foster yelled at me to sit down, I was shocked.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“No one is to leave this bus!” Mrs. Foster said seriously, rushing into the rain.

【原文】M: Good morning, my topic is what can new technology bring us? As we all know, we are now in the twenty first century which is the new technology century. In my opinion there are three advantages that new technology can bring us. Firstly, most countries are developing faster and faster with the help of new technology. The Internet is a new technology. What does that bring us? It makes the world smaller and smaller. Secondly, human beings can benefit greatly from new technology. Some people are suffering from strange diseases and they cannot help themselves and even the doctors around them cannot help them. But people can talk about their problems on the Internet and then famous doctors and some warm hearted people from all over the world may help them. The third advantage I think. Is that new technology helps to protect our earth and save it from being polluted more and more seriously. All in all, we must do our best to develop new technology and make full use of it.

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
High-tech cars
Continuing with efforts to deliver a zero-carbon event, Olympic organizers have partnered with a company to create several new vehicles to transport athletes between the Olympic Villge and their events using renewable energy sources. Such vehicles are battery-powered, which use LiDAR technology to map out its surroundings and drive autonomously. The company has also developed cell-powered buses and each can carry at most 38 passengers and transport them while releasing no carbon.
Robotic assistants
Meet the Human Support Robot (HSR)and Delivery Support Robot (DSR), both supporting the various activities of Olympic viewers. From guiding people to their seats to delivering food, these handy robots have been designed under the concept of providing viewers with support, including those with disabilities.
Remote communication
Near life-size displays have been combined with a set of wheels to create the T-TR1. These machines allow remote viewers to have two-way communication with people at the events using a built-in 360-degree camera.
Remote viewers
If there was ever a need for creating more innovative ways to virtually attend events, that time is now. An Olympic partner has developed the T-HR3 robot for remote viewers. This machine is controlled via a system that allows a person to move the entire body of the T-HR3 through wearable controls. However, the 5G wireless connection between the system and the robot can only support a physical distance of up to six miles.
21. What is the main advantage of High-tech cars?
A. Their safety. B. Their eco-friendliness.
C. Their surroundings. D. Their capacity.
22. What can a DSR do?
A. It can bring food to viewers.
B. It can function as a player.
C. It can serve as a viewer's seat.
D. It can help disabled players.
23. To experience the games virtually, which might a non-athlete turn to?
A LiDAR. B. HSR. C. DSR. D. T-HR3

Looking like something from a sci-fi movie, the SeaOrbiter was designed to tower above the waves as it made its way through some of the most unexplored parts of the world's oceans. It is a breathtaking ship, featuring its underwater platform and advanced science labs. It can host a crew of up to 22 for long-term scientific missions lasting over six months.
Its scale when seen on the horizon (地平线) would have been great. While modern ships usually sit flat to the surface and have most of their mass laid out, the SeaOrbiter was to resemble a floating tower, rising to a total height of 51 meres, the height of Nelson's Column in London — with over half below the ocean.
Designed not just to move in the seas, but also to explore their depths, six of the SeaOrbiter's twelve decks were to sit below sea level, bringing the undersea kingdom to life and providing uninterrupted underwater observation for the scientists and explorers aboard. Its goal was to pullback the curtain on one of nature's most unexplored habitats.
Despite covering 70 per cent of our planet, with only 5 per cent explored and less than 20 per cent mapped, our oceans are still largely a mystery. What's more, humans have explored less than 1 per cent of the deep ocean. In fact, we know less about the ocean floor than we do about the surface of the Moon.
Construction of the 1, 000-ton ship had been due to start in 2014, but by May 2015 only the first part of the construction was successfully completed. Construction was made possible by a crowd-funding campaign.
24. What is the unique feature of the SeaOrbiter according to paragraph 1?
A. Being specially designed based on a sci-fi film.
B. Being shaped exactly like an unexplored tower.
C. Possessing underwater platform and advanced science labs.
D. Enabling 22 people to carry out long-term scientific tasks.
25. Why does the author mention Nelson's Column?
A. To introduce the distant origin of the ship.
B. To stress the underwater part of the ship.
C. To illustrate the amazing height of the ship.
D. To highlight the floating ability of the ship.
26. What do the data in paragraph 4 imply?
A. Over 20 per cent of the oceans has been charted.
B. There is much for us to explore about the ocean floor.
C. Humans have explored only 5 per cent of the deep sea.
D. The ocean floor is easier to reach than the surface of the Moon.
27. Why was the SeaOrbiter designed?
A. To move in space in a usual way.
B. To compete with space exploration.
C. To uncover the mysteries of deep seas.
D. To complete a crowd-funding campaign.
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. B 27. C
【解析】

【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Despite covering 70 per cent of our planet, with only 5 per cent explored and less than 20 per cent mapped, our oceans are still largely a mystery. What's more, humans have explored less than 1 per cent of the deep ocean. In fact, we know less about the ocean floor than we do about the surface of the Moon.”(尽管海洋覆盖了地球表面的70%,但只有5%被探索过,不到20%被绘制成地图,我们的海洋仍然在很大程度上是一个谜。更重要的是,人类对深海的探索还不到1%。事实上,我们对海底的了解比对月球表面的了解还少。) 可知,这一段数据暗示了海洋,特别是其深海部分,仍然有许多未知等待我们去探索。故选B。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Its goal was to pullback the curtain on one of nature's most unexplored habitats.”(它的目标是揭开大自然最未被探索的栖息地之一的面纱。)可知,SeaOrbiter的设计目的是探索海洋的深处,特别是那些尚未被人类充分探索的区域。故选C。
C
Worrying news stories about people with cancer seem never-ending. The physical condition is often cruel. It also has some psychological characteristics that make it fearsome. We are more frightened by threats over which we feel we have no control. More than any other diseases, cancer causes various worries, which helps explain why it has been the most horrible in richer nations with longer lifespans for decades.
One overlooked effect of this fear has been the creation of cancerphobia, which George called in 1955. He wrote:“In terms of the total number of people affected, fear of cancer is causing more suffering than cancer itself.” In important ways, our deep fear of it is outdated, a phobia that no longer matches the evidence and causes huge harm.
Most people believe a diagnosis (诊断) of cancer means death. Slow but steady progress in the past few decades has made roughly two-thirds of all cancers completely curable.
Many people believe cancer screening is beneficial because it is always best to find cancer as early as possible. Screening helps, certainly, but it also harms. There is much evidence that these worries can leave lasting psychological scars. Worse still screening inappropriately finds “overdiagnosed” cancers. They are found early when small and meet the sick criteria of cancer under a microscope, but grow slowly or never cause any symptoms.
Some people believe most cancers are caused by environmental carcinogens (致癌物). We now know cancer is primarily caused by naturally occurring mutations (变异) to DNA as we age. Cancers only became common in the early 1900s, as average lifespans in richer nations reached into the 50s.
We can’t entirely cure cancer. Nor can we entirely “cure” cancerphobia. But we must work to reduce the harm they both cause to our health and to society in general. Research into fighting cancer has come a long way. The work on our cancerphobia is just beginning.
28. What can be known about cancer in paragraph 1?
A. Cancer puts rich people at greater risk.
B. Cancer spreads quickly throughout the world.
C. Cancer goes beyond the control of humans.
D. Cancer threatens people physically and mentally.
29. What does the author think of cancer screening?
A. It is a double-edged sword.
B. It proves an effective measure.
C. It leaves patients with physical scars.
D. It sets the standard for early diagnosis.
30. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. There’s no need to worry too much about cancer.
B. The environment has nothing to do with cancer.
C. People over fifty are certain to develop cancer.
D. Research on cancerphobia has made big progress.
31. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To reveal secrets.
B. To show sympathy.
C. To modernize beliefs.
D. To gain recognition.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. A 31. C

细节理解题。根据第一段“The physical condition is often cruel. It also has some psychological characteristics that make it fearsome.(身体状况往往很残酷。它也有一些心理特征,使它变得可怕)”可知,癌症在身体和心理上都对人构成威胁。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Many people believe cancer screening is beneficial because it is always best to find cancer as early as possible. Screening helps, certainly, but it also harms. There is much evidence that these worries can leave lasting psychological scars.(许多人认为癌症筛查是有益的,因为尽早发现癌症总是最好的。筛查当然有帮助,但也有害处。有很多证据表明,这些担忧会留下持久的心理创伤)”可知,作者认为癌症筛查是一把双刃剑,既有帮助也有害处。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We now know cancer is primarily caused by naturally occurring mutations (变异) to DNA as we age. Cancers only became common in the early 1900s, as average lifespans in richer nations reached into the 50s.(我们现在知道癌症主要是由随着年龄的增长自然发生的DNA突变引起的。癌症在20世纪初才变得普遍,随着富裕国家的平均寿命达到了50多岁)”以及最后一段“We can’t entirely cure cancer. Nor can we entirely “cure” cancerphobia. But we must work to reduce the harm they both cause to our health and to society in general.(我们不能完全治愈癌症。我们也不能完全“治愈”癌症恐惧症。但我们必须努力减少它们对我们的健康和整个社会造成的危害)”可知,虽然我们不能完全消除对癌症的恐惧,但也不必过分担心,因为研究已有很大进展并且很多癌症是可以治愈的。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Worrying news stories about people with cancer seem never-ending. The physical condition is often cruel. It also has some psychological characteristics that make it fearsome. (关于癌症患者的令人担忧的新闻报道似乎永无止境。身体状况往往很残酷。它也有一些心理特征,使它变得可怕)”、最后一段“We can’t entirely cure cancer. Nor can we entirely “cure” cancerphobia. But we must work to reduce the harm they both cause to our health and to society in general. Research into fighting cancer has come a long way. The work on our cancerphobia is just beginning.(我们不能完全治愈癌症。我们也不能完全“治愈”癌症恐惧症。但我们必须努力减少它们对我们的健康和整个社会造成的危害。对抗癌症的研究已经走过了漫长的道路。治疗癌症恐惧症的工作才刚刚开始)”可知,本文主要介绍了癌症恐惧源于其身心威胁,但多数癌症已可治愈,筛查利弊并存,环境并不是主因,人们需要更新认识,减少不必要的恐惧,推动健康和社会福祉,由此可知,作者写作的目的是更新观念,减轻人们对于癌症的不必要的恐惧。故选C。
D
Making the world safer for butterflies can be as easy as doing a bit of nothing. Ecologist Richard Fox suggests a surprising yet effective way to protect butterflies: allowing some part of one’s yard unmanaged. This a bit “wild” grassland can significantly boost butterfly populations. The key, Richard Fox explains, lies in providing safe space for caterpillars (毛毛虫), who often fall victim to lawn mowers(割草机). This approach emphasizes the importance of resisting the urge to tidy up everything, allowing nature to take its course.
Richard Fox and his colleague analyzed data from their organization’s Great Butterfly Survey to investigate the impact of unmowed yards on butterfly populations. They found that in yards surrounded by other houses, long grass could increase butterfly abundance by up to 18 percent. In yards surrounded entirely by farms, the increase could be as high as 93 percent. This suggests that even if individual yards don’t see huge increases, the total area of safe space could add up if a lot of yards went a little wild.
The practice of leaving yards unmowed would not only help butterflies but could also be more beneficial for moths. Their caterpillars are more likely to feed on grass than butterfly larvae (幼虫), making unmanaged yards a perfect habitat for them. Moths, which are more numerous than butterflies and tend to fly at night, are a “key cog in the ecosystem, ”Richard Fox says. “They’re supporting and maintaining food chains for many of our garden birds and many small mammals like bats. ”
Whether for butterflies or moths, the study highlights an underappreciated diet. “So often gardeners think about plants and nectar (花蜜) when planting butterfly gardens, ” said Matthew Shepherd. “That’s great, but it’s not supporting all the life stages of insects. Often nectar is a grownup food. What caterpillars need is baby food. ”
32. What does Richard Fox suggest to protect butterflies?
A. Planting colorful flowers. B. Leaving part of yards wild.
C. Keeping yards neat and tidy. D. Creating all-native grasslands.
33. Unmanaged yards can benefit butterfly populations most when they are________.
A. located within some farms B. surrounded by houses
C. filled with wild animals D. maintained regularly
34. What does the underlined word “cog” in paragraph 3 possibly mean?
A. Sign. B. Tool. C. Part. D. Rate.
35. Which of the following may Matthew Shepherd agree with?
A. Gardeners should pay more attention to grownup insects.
B. There are sufficient plants for different insects in gardens.
C. More flowers are needed to attract more butterflies.
D. Baby insects are supposed to be well fed in gardens.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了生态学家Richard Fox提出的一种简单有效的保护蝴蝶的方法:让院子的一部分保持未修剪的自然状态,这样可以显著提高蝴蝶的数量。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Ecologist Richard Fox suggests a surprising yet effective way to protect butterflies: allowing some part of one’s yard unmanaged. This a bit “wild” grassland can significantly boost butterfly populations. (生态学家Richard Fox提出了一个令人惊讶但却有效的保护蝴蝶的方法:让院子的一部分无人管理。这一点“野生”草原可以显著增加蝴蝶的数量。)”可知,Richard Fox建议的保护蝴蝶的方法是让院子的一部分保持野生状态。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“They found that in yards surrounded by other houses, long grass could increase butterfly abundance by up to 18 percent. In yards surrounded entirely by farms, the increase could be as high as 93 percent. (他们发现,在被其他房屋包围的院子里,长草可以使蝴蝶的数量增加18%。在完全被农场包围的院子里,增幅可能高达93%。)”可知,可知当未管理的院子位于农场中时,对蝴蝶种群的好处最大。故选A。
【34题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据划线词后面的内容“They’re supporting and maintaining food chains for many of our garden birds and many small mammals like bats.(它们支持和维持着许多花园鸟类和许多小型哺乳动物(如蝙蝠)的食物链。)”可知,此处的“they”指代前文的飞蛾,飞蛾支持和维持着许多花园鸟类和许多小型哺乳动物(如蝙蝠)的食物链,因此飞蛾在生态系统中是一个关键的部分。故划线词与C选项“Part.(部分)”为同义词。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Whether for butterflies or moths, the study highlights an underappreciated diet. “So often gardeners think about plants and nectar(花蜜) when planting butterfly gardens, ” said Matthew Shepherd. “That’s great, but it’s not supporting all the life stages of insects. Often nectar is a grownup food. What caterpillars need is baby food. ( 无论是蝴蝶还是飞蛾,这项研究都强调了一种被低估的饮食。Matthew Shepherd说:“园丁们在种植蝴蝶园时经常会想到植物和花蜜。”“这很好,但它并不能支持昆虫的所有生命阶段。花蜜通常是成年昆虫的食物。毛毛虫需要的是婴儿食品。)” 可知,Matthew Shepherd认为园丁在种植蝴蝶花园时对于昆虫的饮食来源确实考虑到了植物和花蜜,但是这种植物形式不能支持昆虫的所有生命阶段,而是应该考虑到昆虫的早期阶段,为幼虫提供充足的食物即在花园里,小昆虫应该有充足的食物来源。故选D。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was shy when I was young — everyone made me nervous. I was also what most teachers and parents would call a “good kid”, following the rules, and rarely questioning authority. But then one day, one single ride on a school bus changed all that.
The school bus that day was smelly and crowded. The windows were all rolled up by the bus driver’s orders — it was raining too hard outside. Most of the other kids were engaged in conversations and games. I sat alone as usual, speaking to no one. Over and over, I carefully wiped a small circle on my window so that I could watch outside.
The bus stopped, waiting for an accident to be cleared. The driver, Mrs. Foster, was particularly tense that day and had yelled at several kids who had been standing up in their seats.
As I sat quietly, I saw a little cat on the other side of the road. It was all wet and didn’t seem to know where to go. I wanted to help the cat, but the bus driver would never allow me off the bus. I would get into big trouble for trying to rescue a cat across a busy, rainy street. I also thought that if I pointed out the miserable cat, the other kids would probably think I was strange. I couldn’t bear that.
My window was cloudy again, and when I wiped the window clear, I could see the cat was now struggling in running water and shaking. I saw absolute terror in its dark, round eyes.
I felt like I was drowning along with the little cat, tears rolling down my cheeks. I wanted to rush off the bus without asking for permission to save the cat. But I also pictured the other kids staring at me. I sat still, unable to act. The bus began to move forward. I could see the cat panicked. I glanced around, but no one else seemed to have noticed. I hadn’t even realized that I was standing up.
When Mrs. Foster yelled at me to sit down, I was shocked.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“No one is to leave this bus!” Mrs. Foster said seriously, rushing into the rain.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
When Mrs. Foster yelled at me to sit down, I was shocked. I immediately sat back down. Although I did not break rules, my heart was racing. I prayed that someone else would notice and rescue the pity cat. Realizing it was less likely for the cat to be noticed in such a busy and rainy street, I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. I gathered my courage and rushed towards the driver. “Mrs. Foster. I have to help that cat in trouble, and I can’t just leave it there.” I said firmly. Her eyes met mine, surprise quickly replaced by a look of understanding. She pulled over.
“No one is to leave this bus.” Mrs. Foster said seriously, rushing into rain. Without grabbing an umbrella, Mrs. Foster quickly pulled the cat into the safety of her arms. As we all. watched in silence, she tightly held the terrified creature, removed her own coat to wrap the cat in it, and then raced back to the bus. We all cheered until she gestured us to be quiet. The cat was rescued, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I was still a pretty good kid after that day, but I learned to speak up to overcome my shyness.
