Unit5-1 The monarch’s journey
一、阅读理解题
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year. This annual movement is called migration. They migrate to find food, seek a partner, or in search of warmer weather. One of the most wonderful migrations in nature is that of the North American monarch butterfly.
Every autumn, millions of these beautiful insects with fine black and orange wings begin a long and difficult journey. Somehow they manage to travel around 4,000 kilometres south and find their way to California or Mexico. However, until recently no one knew how they did this.
A team of scientists led by Professor Eli Shlizerman at the University of Washington has now found the answer. They have found out that the monarch is able to tell the time of day. It uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun. These two pieces of information -the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky - allow the butterfly to determine the way to go. Eventually, it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.
The solution to the mystery of the monarch's amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble. Its population has crashed by as much as 90 per cent in the last few years. Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling. In many of the places where the butterfly can be found, people are destroying the natural environment. They cut down trees and use chemicals that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars eat.
The research on the monarch's behaviour has however led to a greater awareness of this creature. People have been working together to record its migration and make sure that there are enough plants for it to feed on. If this works, there may come a time when the number of monarch butterflies increases once again. The more we know about this lovely creature, the greater the chance it will survive and keep its place in the natural world for a long time to come.
1. What is migration according to the passage?
A. The daily movement of animals to find food.
B. The annual movement of animals from one place to another.
C. The seasonal change of animals' appearance.
D. The long journey of butterflies to lay eggs.
2. Why do monarch butterflies migrate south every autumn?
A. To find their partners.
B. To lay eggs in warmer places.
C. To spend the winter in warmer areas.
D. To search for plants that caterpillars eat.
3. How do monarch butterflies find their way during migration?
A. By using their eyes to measure the sun's position and telling the time of day.
B. By following other butterflies in the group.
C. By remembering the route they took the year before.
D. By sensing the changes of the weather.
4. What is the main reason for the sharp drop in the number of monarch butterflies?
A. Natural disasters.
B. Human activities that destroy their environment.
C. Lack of food in their winter homes.
D. Difficulties during their migration journey.
5. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Monarch butterflies will disappear soon if we do nothing.
B. Research on monarch butterflies helps protect them.
C. Scientists have fully solved all mysteries of monarch butterflies.
D. Migration is the most dangerous time for monarch butterflies.

Unit5-2 An encounter with nature
一、阅读理解题
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
As a nature photographer, I have to brave the elements. But despite the wind and the rain, I still enjoy working outside in the wild. One of the best things about this job is that you can observe animals in their natural environment. My favourite place to take photos is Yellowstone National Park. As the world's first national park, Yellowstone is famous for the variety of its wildlife, but it is probably best known for its bears. These huge, strong animals can live for 30 years. Despite a weight of up to 300 kilograms, they can run at a speed of around 64 kilometres per hour and are also excellent swimmers.
Last spring in Yellowstone, I followed a path that took me through a dark forest. When I finally stepped out of the trees, the view was breathtaking. An eagle flew over the snow-capped mountains, which were reflected in the still lake below. While I was concentrating on photographing this amazing scene, I suddenly had a feeling that I was being watched. Slowly, and with the camera still held to my eye, I turned... and froze.
Only metres away from me was a bear. With water falling off its thick, brown hair, the bear stared back at me. Time stood still as the bear and I both waited to see who would move first. My legs started shaking.
Somehow, I forced my finger to press the button. A second later, the bear turned and ran back into the forest. When I recovered from the shock, I looked at my camera. My most frightening but magical experience was now captured forever in a single image.
From time to time I look at the photo as a reminder to show respect to all animals. It is after all we who are the visitors to their world.

B. He fell over a stone on the path.
C. He saw a bear only metres away from him.
D. He was shocked by the breathtaking view.
