26、

The British summer is beautiful. Trees, flowers, birds and butterflies make the whole country look like a big garden. However, many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this nice scenery during the past several years. What has happened to them?

Butterfly Conservation, a charity in the UK, is running a survey to help answer this question. The result is more serious than people expected. According to the survey, among 59 butterfly species (物种) found in the British Isles, more than three-quarters of them are suffering a declining (衰弱) population, including the most popular Meadow Brown. Moreover, half of all butterfly species are dying out.

Some common species such as the small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the Wall butterfly are dropping sharply. The Wall butterfly cannot even be seen in many parts of central and southern England. And the Blue butterfly, which was commonly seen in the south, has started settling in Edinburgh in the past few years.

The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years because the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their living conditions are also degrading.

Luckily, Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers. Scientists believe the warm weather will be good news to the butterflies.

Sir David Attenborough, president of Butterfly Conservation, said, “A great number of butterflies around us is a signal that all is well with nature. But when they decline, it’s a warning that other wildlife will be soon heading the same way.”

The survey is still going on. The public is also encouraged to focus on the UK’s butterfly population. The organizers hope the survey will help more and more people realize the value of butterflies in the UK. Butterflies give a symbol of the well-being of nature and the environment.

【1】What has the survey taken by Butterfly Conservation found?

A．The UK butterflies enjoy a cool climate.

B．The UK butterflies prefer settling in the north.

C．The number of the UK butterflies is getting smaller.

D．Butterflies make the British summer more attractive.

【2】How does the writer support the findings of the survey in Paragraph 3?

A．By listing examples (举例子).

B．By providing data (列数据).

C．By giving explanations (作解释).

D．By making comments (作评价).

【3】What does the underlined word “degrading” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Turning better.

B．Getting worse.

C．Keeping the same.

D．Becoming different.

【4】Butterfly Conservation expects their survey to ______.

A．warn people to care more about the change of weather

B．keep the charity running more smoothly than ever before

C．help the British government protect nature and the environment

D．help the British better understand how important the butterflies are

27、Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said, “The British are the only people who like to be told how bad things are.” This is definitely true of British comedy. Most people think humor is about happy things, but not for the British. We love to use our cruel sense of humor to complain and be negative(消极的).

British comedy, for example, draws a fine line between comedy and tragedy. BBC’s The Office is a TV show, famous for its dry humor. The main character, David Brent, is a foolish man, and the show’s comedy comes from his delusions(错觉的). For example, he often tells himself that he is loved by everyone but the viewer can see that everyone hates him.

Stupid characters for the audience to laugh at are an old tradition in Britain. In Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night, the character Malvolio is an old man whom people play tricks on. The audience will laugh away, although the reality is that this man is a truly poor person.

This side of British humor is reflected(反映) in friendships as-well. At university, my friends and I would always laugh at one another. I had an American friend who actually found this sarcasm(挖苦) quite upsetting. She didn’t realize that in Britain, the better friends you are with someone, the more you laugh at them.

This way—laughing at everything—may sound rather depressing(沮丧), but our strange humor played a big part in British history. There is a saying in English: “________.” If you are ever on the receiving end of British sarcasm, you may feel like crying, but it’s best to just laugh it off!

【1】Which of the following can be put in the ________?

A．Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone.

B．It never rains, it pours.

C．A friend in need is a friend indeed.

D．Don’t trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.

【2】How is British comedy different from other types?

A．It is often meaningless and boring.

B．It often laughs at human nature.

C．It is often about negative things.

D．It often makes people feel upset.

【3】How does the writer advise people to react(反应) to British humor?

A．Learn from it.

B．Don’t take it seriously.

C．Reply angrily.

D．Be careful not to make stupid mistakes.

【4】________ best shows the structure of the passage.

(①＝Paragraph 1 ②＝Paragraph 2 ③＝Paragraph 3 ④＝Paragraph 4 ⑤＝Paragraph 5)

A．

B．

C．

D．

28、When people are born, they begin to be taught about manners. They are taught how to hold 【1】 knife and fork and not to talk with their 【2】 full. They are also taught when to stand and when to sit. Sometimes【3】 manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else. Almost everywhere, eating together means that people are very close to each other, but in parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to 【4】 beside each other.

When you go to visit someone, you often 【5】 him or her with "Hello!" or "How are you?". But 【6】 you visit an East African village, everyone will be very careful not to talk to you. The polite thing to do is to go 【7】, saying nothing. You should wait until he has finished 【8】 he is doing. Once he finishes, he will begin talking to you.

In a village in the Middle East, a visitor will walk 【9】 all the tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passes by other villagers' front doors, he will be invited into 【10】 tents and asked to eat. It is rude to say no to the invitation.

29、完形填空

Scientists study the world and learn about things using a process called the scientific method. By asking important questions and the answers, it is possible to make amazing discoveries! Sometimes a scientist is to answer his own questions, but if he has taken good notes ,another scientist may come along later who is able to use new knowledge to answer it.

When you use the scientific method to an experiment, you start by making observations(观察) about something that  you. Based on your observations, you make a hypothesis(假设）.

Based on what you have learned, you make a final statement about    your hypothesis was correct or not. You have to have reasons and evidence to support what you are saying.
