Monarch butterflies(黑脉金斑蝶)are a common summer sight in the northern United States and
第 2 页 共 12 页
Canada. These large orange and black insects brighten parks and gardens as they fly lightly among
the flowers. What makes monarchs particularly interesting is that they migrate(迁飞)—all the
way to California or Mexico and back. They are thought to be the only insect that does this.
Every year in the late summer monarchs begin their journey to the south. Those heading for
Mexico go first for the Louisiana-Mississippi area, then fly across the Gulf of Mexico into Texas.
Once in Mexico, they settle themselves in one of about fifteen places in a mountain forest filled
with fir trees. Each place provides a winter home for millions of monarchs. The butterflies are
so many that they often cover entire trees. When spring comes, they begin their long journey north.
The question is often asked whether every butterfly makes the round-trip journey every year.
And the answer is no. The average monarch lives about nine months. So one flying north might lay
eggs in Louisiana and then die. The eggs of that generation may be found in Kentucky; the eggs
of the next generation may end up in Wisconsin or Michigan. The last generation of the season,
about the fourth, will make their way back to Mexico and restart the journey.
Scientists learn about monarchs’ migration by catching and making marks on the insects. By
recatching a monarch with such a mark and noticing where it came from, the next scientist can
get to know things like the butterfly’s age and its routing(路线).
56. One of the places where monarchs spend the winter is
.
A. the Gulf of Mexico
C. a forest in Mexico
B. an area in Mississippi
D. a plain in Texas
57. The routing of monarchs’ migration can be learned
.
A. by examining the marks made on them
B. by collecting their eggs in the mountains
C. by comparing their different ages
D. by counting the dead ones in the forests
58. What is the subject discussed in the passage ?
A. Migration of monarchs.
C. Winter home of monarchs.
B. Scientists’ interest in monarchs.
D. Life and death of monarchs.

SYDNEY: As they sat sharing sweets beside a swimming pool in 1999, Shane Gould and Jessicah
Schipper were simply getting along well, chatting about sport, life and “anything else that came
up.”
Yet in Sydney next month, they will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends
will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly(蝶泳)in the Australian championships
at Homebush Bay.
Gould, now a 47-year-old mother of four, has announced she will be making a return to elite
competition(顶级赛事)to swim the one event, having set a qualifying(合格的)time of 30.32 seconds
in winning gold at last year’s United States Masters championships. Her comeback comes 32 years
after she won three golds at the Munich Olympics.
Schipper, now a 17-year-old from Brisbane with a bright future of going to Athens for her
first Olympics, yesterday recalled her time with Gould five years ago.
“I was at a national youth came on the Gold Coast and Shane had come along to talk to us
and watch us train,” Schipper explained. “It seemed as if we had long been good friends. I don’t
know why. We just started talking and it went from there.”
第 3 页 共 12 页
“She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp. She told us stories about what it was
like at big meets like the Olympics and what it’s like to be on an Australian team. It was really
interesting.”
Next time, things will be more serious. “I will still be swimming in the 50m butterfly at
the nationals, so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould,”
said Schipper, who burst onto the scene at last year’s national championships with second places
in the 100m and 200m butterfly.
59. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Stories happening in swimming competitions.
B. Two women swimmers winning Olympic golds.
C. Lessons learned from international swimming championships.
D. Friendship and competition between two swimmers.
60. Gould and Schipper are going to
.
A. talk about sport and life
C. set a qualifying time and win gold
B. go back to elite competition
D. take part in the same sports event
61. Gould won her three Olympic golds when she was
A. 15
B. 17
C. 22
.
D. 30
62. The underlined word “it” in the fifth paragraph probably refers to
.
A. the Olympics
C. the friendship
B. the youth camp
D. the Australian team
63. What Schipper said showed that she
.
A. was no longer Gould’s friend
B. had learned a lot from Gould
C. was not interested in Gould’s stories
D. would not like to compete against Gould
C
With a good shopping position and the right amount(数量)of money, any educated person ought
to be able to make a living out of a bookshop. It is not a difficult trade to learn and the large
chain-stores can never force the small bookseller out of existence as they have done to the corner
shop. But the hours of work are very long. I was only doing a part-time job, but my boss put in
a seventy-hour week, besides regular journeys out of shopping hours to buy books.
The real reason why I should not like to be back in the book trade for life, however, is that
while I was in it I lost my love of books. A bookseller cannot always tell the truth about his
books, and that gives him a dislike for them. There was a time when I really did love books—
loved the sight and smell and feel of them—if they were fifty or more years old, that is. Nothing
pleased me quite so much as to buy a bargain lot of them on sale for several pounds. There is
a peculiar flavour(独特的味道)about the unexpected books you pick up in that kind of collection:
little-known eighteenth-century poets, or out-of-date geography books. For occasional reading
— in your bath, for example, or late at night when you are too tired to go to bed—there is nothing
as good as a very old picture story-book.
But as soon as I went to work in the bookshop I stopped buying books. Seen in a mass of five
or ten thousand at a time, books were dull and even a little tiresome. Nowadays I do buy one
occasionally, but only if it is a book that I want to read and can’t borrow, and I never buy

rubbish.
64. According to the passage,
A. an educated shop-owner
C. a regular journey out of the shop
is one of the necessary conditions to run a bookshop.
B. a good position at a street corner
D. the force of large chain-stores
65. The author should not like to be back as a bookseller for life because
.
A. he hated his job of selling books
B. selling books was only a part-time job
C. the books in the shop gave him a dislike
D. he was unable to be honest about the books he sold
66. The books preferred by the author should be those
.
A. stories making readers sleepless
B. valuable ones bought on sale
C. peculiar ones with great expectation
D. geography ones from the eighteenth century
67. The author will only buy new books
.
A. if he feels dull and tired
B. after he gives up his job as a bookseller
C. which are interesting but hard to borrow
D. when he throws away old ones
D
Millions of aircraft take off around the world every year. The skies they fly in seem limitless
— miles of empty space. But, with the number of flights increasing each year, this emptiness
no longer exists. Researchers in the world of aviation(航空)are worried about the increasing
pressure on pilots and ground controllers. And increasing collisions, occurring at or near an
airport, have called attention to the need for more aids(辅助设备)to aviation control.
People who travel the skies are not certain about air safety. A great deal of money is spent
on new and bigger aircraft and airports to deal with the vast increase in passengers travelling
by air. Only a small percentage of this money is spent on navigation(导航)and other aids. Actually,
suitable electronic equipment has long existed, and many companies market safety aids designed
to make it safer for aircraft to take off, fly any distance, and land, whatever the weather. Yet,
there are two problems to be solved. The first is to get governments, airlines and airport officials
to agree to basic levels of safety aids. The second problem is to find a way of meeting these
basic requirements.
But no matter how well the equipment works, operators of the equipment still play an important
role. Communications between pilots and ground controllers are extremely important to air safety.
It is worth pointing out that the mishearing or misunderstanding of instructions in English, and
the use of another language, in an international conversation, have led to two recent aircraft
accidents. A new type of instrument(仪器)called FLIGHTWATCH would help pilots prevent airport
collisions. It would be particularly helpful near airports.
68. The increasing number of flights leads to the fact that
.
A. flying is no longer limited in the sky
B. there is no empty space for aids to aviation control
C. piloting and controlling planes is getting more difficult
第 5 页 共 12 页
D. the pressure on the ground becomes greater
69. There is uncertainty about air safety because
.
A. planes become bigger for the increasing number of passengers
B. money spent on electronic equipment is far from enough
C. suitable electronic equipment hasn’t been invented yet
D. it is dangerous for planes to take off or land
70. The underlined word “collisions” probably means
.
A. accidents in which two planes hit each other
B. misunderstandings between pilots and ground controllers
C. quarrels among passengers
D. breakdowns of new types of instrument
71. It can be inferred from the passage that
.
A. governments and officials have paid great attention to air safety
B. there should be more companies to sell new safety aids
C. English should be used in an international conversation
D. understanding between pilots and ground controllers should be improved
E
Art museums are places where people can learn about various cultures(文化). The
increasingly popular “design museums” that are opening today, however, perform quite a different
role. Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general
public. These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center
of the hall.
People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new
industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales-it is the honoring of
excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the
showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells
you the success of a sale.
One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the
exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened
or puzzled(困惑). This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced
products work and look as they do, and how design has improved the quality of our lives. Art museum
exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is
something beyond their understanding.
In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of
these museums has tried to satisfy the public’s growing interest in the field with new ideas.
London’s Design Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from Zippo
lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums
seem far less strict than those to art museums, and visitors may also sense the humorous(幽
默的)part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive
toys collected in our everyday life.
72. Showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they
.
A. show more technologically advanced products
B. help increase the sales of products
第 6 页 共 12 页
C. show why the products have sold well
D. attract more people than store windows do
73. The author believes that most design museum visitors
.
A. do not admire mass-produced products
B. are puzzled with technological exhibits
C. dislike exhibits in art museums
D. know the exhibits very well
74. The choices open to design museums
.
A. are not as strict as those to art museums
B. are not aimed to interest the public
C. may fail to bring some pleasure to visitors
D. often contain precious exhibits
75. The best title for this passage is
.
A. The forms of design museums
B. The exhibits of design museums
C. The nature of design museums
D. The choices open to design museums

I still remember my middle school life in Tianjin yet. I was then
in a school for students from Tibet. As we were all left home
at early age, we met lots of problems in our daily life. We
had to do the washing, cleaning and shopping by us. However,
we seldom felt lonely or helplessly. We enjoyed our happy life.
At weekends, we would play basketball, swimming in the pool
or go for a picnic. We were living in a big family. We treat
each other as brothers and sisters. If any one of us had any
difficulty in our life and study, the other would help him out.
