            • 1． There are about 15，000-20，000 species of butterflies all over the world．They can be found on every continent except Antarctica．
              To go to sleep，butterflies look for a safe place like the underside of a leaf or a branch，for example．Most butterflies sleep alone，but there are also species sleeping in groups．Poisonous butterflies have a particular smell that probably protects them better when they sleep together．It is also useful not to change the group'S sleeping place because a predator（食肉动物）who attacked a poisonous butterfly one time won't do this again．There is only a limited number of predators in an area so there is only a limited number to"educate"if the sleeping place stays the same．
              One species from Costa Rica whose scientific name is Marpesia berania sleeps in groups on a leaf．If one butterfly of the group is disturbed，it opens its wings and touches its neighbors．Being touched，they open their wings as well and so the whole group is informed about the danger and Can escape together．
              The speed of their flight depends on the way the butterfly flies：Blues and Whites normally have speeds under 8 km/h，the speed of Fritillaries is between 16 to 40 km/h and some Skippers reach speeds up to 60 km/h．
              Besides warning and scaring predators with colors butterflies fly in a special way．The direction of their amazing flight is hard to predict．When they hear the sounds of a bat，the ones flying at night start a zigzag（之字形）flight in all directions：up and down，left and right．So it gets hard for the bat to catch them．
              In the dark when colors don't function，some poisonous butterflies make clicking noises to warn bats that they are poisonous．Of course other species copy this sound to produce the protective effect，too．
              56．The reason why butterflies don't change the group'S sleeping place is that    
              A．a predator would attack them again in the same place
              B．few other predators would attack them in this fixed area
              C．the predators would know they are poisonous
              D．there are more predators in other places
              57．The author takes Marpesia berania for example in order to    ．
              A．introduce where butterflies sleep at night
              B．tell us how butterflies work together to defeat predators
              C．introduce how butterflies sleeping in groups escape from danger
              D．tell us that Marpesia berania is the most clever butterflies
              58．What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us？    
              A．The different flight speeds of the butterfly．
              B．Which butterfly flies at the highest speed．
              C．Most butterflies fly at a low speed．
              D．The different way the butterfly flies．
              59．It'S hard for bats to catch butterflies because butterflies fly    ．
              A．much faster than bats   
              B．aimlessly
              C．at different speeds
              D．in a zigzag way
              60．Some poisonous butterflies warn predators in the dark by    ．
              A．scaring predators with colors
              B．touching their neighbors with their wings
              C．making clicking noises
              D．copying bats'sound to confuse predators．

            • 2． The towers，called the Bosco Verticale，are under construction in Milan．Towering over the city skyline，these are the world'S first forest in the sky apartments．
              With trees equal to 10，000 square meters of forest covering 27 floors，the twin towers will be home to an astonishing 730 trees，5，000 bushes and 11，000 ground plants．
              Michele Brunello，director of Boeri Studios，explained，"The idea of a vertical forest came when we were involved in a local tree planting project．We imagined the building that allowed the landscape（景观）to enter it．"
              Brunello'S concept is designed to save on land，which is a precious resource in the centre of a major city．"We can provide the quality of life of expensive housing without consuming the resources that conventional housing would demand．"he said．
              Bosco Verticale has been designed as a home to a variety of plants，which planners hope will act as a filter（过滤器）to pollution from traffic，shade people from the sun and will change its appearance each season．
              "People live with the trees but they don't own them-they are communal，"said Brunello．"All the plants have been picked by the designers to be suitable to the height and correct side of the building．So the people aren't just choosing an apartment based on the size and view，but also they need to consider which trees and plants they will be living with．"
              Safety is also a major factor．If a tree Was blown down in the wind from a great height，this could be a huge problem．So we tested various trees to make sure we had the right ones．
              When the sky forest is completed by the end of 2012，the structure will house the same amount of people as 50，000 square meters of conventional urban area．What'S more，it will be home to insects，birds and animals that usually live in the parks of Milan．
              61．By saying"allowed the landscape to enter it"Brunello means that    ．
              A．trees will be planted inside the building
              B．the towers are part of the tree planting project
              C．the landscape of trees and plants is part of the towers
              D．the landscape of trees can be moved into the building freely
              62．What does the underlined word"communal"probably mean？    
              A．Expensive．    B．Public．    C．Dangerous．     D．Unaffordable．
              63．Which of the following may not be considered when buying an apartment in Bosco Verticale？    
              A．The size of the apartment．
              B．The view of the apartment．
              C．The different trees on the towers．
              D．The amount of birds living with the trees．
              64．Which isn't the benefit that the Bosco Verticale can bring to Milan？    
              A．Cleaning the polluted air by traffic．
              B．Lowering the conventional houses'price．
              C．Changing its appearance with seasons．
              D．Shading people from the sun．
              65．Which of the following would be the best title for the text？    
              A．Brunello creates a special park   
              B．Bosco Verticale consumes less land
              C．Italy will plant a variety oftrees  
              D．Milan constructs towers of trees．

            • 4． The name of Macau comes from the word Magao （A-Ma Temple），which were shrines （圣地） dedicated to Mazu，a holy sea goddess worshiped by Macau people．It was said that when the Portuguese people first came here in the middle of sixteenth century，one of the officers asked a fisherman the name of the land．The man misunderstood the officer's question，and answered"Magao"-the name of A-Ma Temple in front them．
              Many people wonder how Macau is spelled．Is it"Macao"or"Macau"？Both are actually correct．Macao is Portuguese，and this is the official spelling backed by Macau SAR Government．Macau is English，that's how they spell it in the U．S．and other parts of the world．However，most publications use"Macau"as the preferred spelling
              Members of the Southern Song Dynasty and some 50，000followers were the first recorded inhabitants （居民） of the area，seeking shelter in Macau from invading Mongols in 1277．They were able to defend their settlements and establish themselves there．
              The Hoklo Boat people were the first to show commercial interest in Macau as a trading center for the southern provinces．During the Ming Dynasty （1368-1643），fishermen migrated to Macau from various parts of Guangdong and Fujian provinces and built the A-Ma Temple in which they prayed for safety on the sea
              Chinese fishermen have been living and working in the Pearl River Delta for more than four thousand years．The small peninsula and islands that came to be called Macau were first settled by the Portuguese in the sixteenth century
              In 1998，Chinese （Cantonese） was given official status and the same legal power as Portuguese，the official language．The Chinese government assumed sovereignty over Macau on December 20，1999，ending 329years of Portuguese rule

              68．We can learn from the text that the name"Macau"    
              A．is named after a sea goddess
              B．is first called by the Portuguese
              C．is only used in publications
              D．is given by a fisherman

            • 5． The Channel is the name given to the stretch of water which separates England and France．Ferries operate all year round to carry people across the Channel，and they are busy most of the year．January is the only quiet month nowadays．As well as summer holiday-makers，there are day trippers and coach traffic，not to mention lorries and other commercial vehicles．Some ferries carry cars and their passengers，while others also connect train passengers with the Continental rail network．
              The biggest hazard for the ferry is the wind．The crew listens to BBC weather reports four times a day．Or they sometimes get gale warnings from local radio station．
              Crossing the Channel by ferry is a bit like trying to cross Oxford Street on a busy afternoon，according to one ferryboat captain．The ferries from Folkstone and Dover to Calais and Boulogne have to cross the main flow of traffic．This consists of ships traveling through the Channel to and from Northern Europe．There may be four hundred ships making the journey at any one time，and they all pass through a"choke point"which is only fifteen miles （twenty-five kilometers） wide．The cross-channel ferries have to sail right through the middle of all this traffic．
              68．The passage is mainly concerned with    ．
              A．the English Channel                 
              B．the weather on the Channel
              C．cross-channel ferries                   
              D．what crossing the Channel by ferry is like
              69．The word hazard is closest in meaning to    ．
              A．trouble              B．danger           C．enemy            D．problem
              70．We can infer from the passage that    ．
              A．if there is a gale warning from the BBC，the ferries will stop operating．
              B．the traffic on the Channel is very busy only in winter
              C．ferries are busiest in the afternoon
              D．the crew of the ferry listens to the weather reports four times a day
              71．Where does this passage most probably appear？    
              A．In a dictionary．
              B．In a novel．
              C．In a transportation magazine．
              D．In a geography textbook．
