(B) When autumn arrives in the United States and Canada,you can see one of nature's greatest scene-the yearly migration of the monarch butterflies ) No other butterfly in the world migrates like the orange and black monarchs of North America.They cannot live for long periods in cold weather.For.this reason,each autumn around October,the butterflies from Canada travel up to 3,000 kilometers south to spend the winter in warmer locations.Some even fly to the mountains of Mexico.There are so many of them that they almost block out the sky.You can even hear their wings beating. 2025学年第一学期期中初二英语练习卷第5页共12页 It usually takes the butterflies two months to reach the south of Mexico.After spending five months there,they head back north in the spring.But not one butterfly finishes the whole round-trip.They lay eggs along the way and die.Three generations of butterflies will live and die during the spring journey alone.The fourth and final generation of the year is born in early autumn and will reach the north.But the butterflies hardly get to rest before starting the long jourey south again to Mexico. The most amazing thing about these butterflies is that they return to the'very same trees in Mexico that their great-great-grandparents used the winter before. However,the populations of this colorful butterfly have dropped in recent years.In 2015,the US Fish and Wildlife Service said that nearly a billion monarchs have disappeared from the overwintering sites(越冬地点)since 19g0,reported the Washington Post.One of the main reasons,experts say,is that farmers have used herbicides ( on plants that the monarchs'larvae (live and feed on. 29.How often do the monarch butterflies migratet A.Twice a year B.Once a year C.Once a month D.Twice a month 30.Why do monarch butterflies fly to the south every autumn!

(c) Have you ever wondered how numbers first came about? 529過 And why are there 10 of them? 41○2 Early humans in the Old Stone Age likely counted animals and other objects by carving tally marks on walls,bones or stone.Tally marks were grouped by 5.Each tally mark stood for 1 and each fifth mark was scored through to help keep track.This system was fine for small numbers,but it didn't really work with large numbers. As society developed,people came up with different ways of writing down numbers. Many of these systems,though appearing in different countries,were mainly based on tally marks.They created new symbols for each larger number.But even with these systems,it was still cumbersome to write large numbers. By the 7th century,Indians had perfected the decimal posiuonal (system, which could describe any number with only ten unique symbols.A key breakthrough of this system was the number"0".Older systems,which didn't have "0",would leave a blank in its place,making it hard to distinguish between 63 and 603 or 12 and 120.Having and using "0"helped make writing down numbers clearer and easier for everyone to understand. But why were the numbers known as"Arabic"since they were born in India?Here's an interesting story behind it.Sometime in the year 771,Arab businessmen took some Indian scholars to Baghdad to help teach them the new set of numbers.After learning the numbers,the Arabs translated the new numbers into their own script that is Arabic. Sometime later,the Arab traders carried a book of these numerals to Europe,where the numbers were translated into Latin.As the world got these numbers from Arabia,these came to be known as Arabic numerals 2025学年第一学期期中初二英语练习卷第7页共12页 33.What do we know about the early counting systems?
