24、

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

25、   During holidays, more and more people like traveling. Many of today’s travelers are trying to find an unusual experience or adventure. Hiking may be a good choice.

Hiking is a great way to travel. You will get close to nature and take exercise at the same time. Hiking is easy to do and doesn’t have to be very expensive. You can hike close to home or travel to other places. The basic equipment you need for hiking is simple: good shoes, clothes and a backpack.

You can hike in the mountain , in a forest or along a river. You can also go for a hike in the city.

Hiking is fun and exciting, but you shouldn’t forget safety. Here are some basic tips for successful hiking:

Hike in a group. Always have at least one other person with you.

Drink often. Carry enough water for the day and your pack will get lighter as the day wears on.

Small snacks will often keep your energy level up rather than waiting for a big lunch meal.

Leave your hike plan with someone back home and call them when you get off the trail(小路).

Bring and use sunscreen and a hat to prevent sunburn, even on cloudy or cold days.

You may see rock cairns, piles of stones, along the trail. Don’t destroy them. They are useful and can help you find your way.

Short hair is much easier to manage in the wild and it is less inviting for bugs and critters（小动物）looking for a place to live.

26、Do as the Romans Do

The customs in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plates as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I don’t want to, because it is considered bad manners in the West to leave one’s food on the plate. I have already noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he very often refuses the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in China, but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on his accepting something. Americans have a direct way of speaking. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, “No, thanks.” When an American is fed with beer by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks. I’ll take some diet, Pepsi-Cola（百事可乐）if you have it. ”That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States, you had better remember the famous saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

【1】From the passage, we can know that the Chinese are usually ________ to the guests.

A. very hot    B. rude

C. impolite D. cold

【2】When a foreigner has dinner with a Chinese host, he often feels _______.

A. pleasant B. uncomfortable

C. satisfied     D. happy

【3】Why does a Chinese often refuse the offer of food or drink at a dinner party?

A. He has had enough.

B. He is shy.

C. He is afraid that others will laugh at him.

D. He thinks it’s polite to do that.

【4】When an American wants something to eat or drink at a dinner, he will _______.

A. ask for it boldly

B. refuse the offer

C. ask for it directly

D. express himself indirectly

【5】“When in Rome, do as the Romans do “means “________”.

A. When you got to Rome, you should act as the Romans do

B. When you stay in Rome, you should do as the Romans do

C. When you are in a new country, you should do as the locals do

D. Romans can be an example for you

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）

Most of you have found the game in newspapers. Usually it has 15 letters and starts with C. Now that you have all these hints (提示), can you tell what it is? The answer is a "crossword puzzle(纵横字谜) ".

You may not be familiar with it, but the game is certainly p【1】 in the US. First invented in 1913 by a newspaper journalist named Arthur Wynne, crossword puzzles soon became part of the country's well-known culture. Books and video games were made about crossword puzzles. D【2】 were even put on trains for players to look up the words. And over 100 years later, crossword puzzles are still loved by American people.

At the end of last month. The New York Times published its 1【3】 puzzle in its history: a 50x50 square with 728 hints that was five times the size of the newspaper's usual puzzles. It may take even skilled puzzle solvers days to finish it.

This kind of love for a game may be hard to understand, but Merl Reagle, one of the most famous crossword creators in the US, explained it, “Crosswords are a dream e【4】 that no one's been able to take." he once told 1 he Washington Post. "The human mind wants a hint".

Hints are the most important part of a puzzle. They lead you r【5】 to the words. In a basic Christmas-themed puzzle, for example, one of the hints could be, “Santa fills it with presents for the children. The word here is “stocking. There can be difficult cultural questions about subjects like Native American history. In order to c【6】 the puzzles, you have to be familiar with the names of places, people, foods and even farming tools. But the puzzle is not just there to frighten players with hard-to-get hints and difficult words. It’s a game after all so fun comes first.

"You want to come up with an idea that's fresh and interesting. And then you want to fill the crossword with as many good, lively, colorful words as you can," Will Shortz, the crossword puzzle editor for I lie New York Times, told Business Insider.

This is why crossword puzzles are not meant to be finished in a rush. put a lot of work into these jokes in the puzzle. I don't want someone to get through it too f【7】 Reagle once told Wired magazine.

29、   If a friend helps you a lot, what do you do in return? You could just say “thanks”, or you could write a(an) ______ note which is more polite. But most people don’t do this. Why don’t people like ______ thank-you notes? And how do most people react (反应) when they ______ one? Kumar from University of Texas made a study of it. He asked each student to write a thank-you note to another person ______ email. Then, they questioned both the writer and the recipient (接受者) about the note and how it made them feel. They found there were several ______ for people not to write thank-you notes. They feel like they have to think too much about it. They ______ what to say and how to say it. They also overthink the “correctness” of what they are writing. But people ______ like receiving thank-you notes. “As recipients, they pay attention to the ______ of the thank,” Kumar says. “Besides, they (recipients) feel positive (积极的) ______ they were receiving these expressions.” If people knew that writing a thank-you note can have such a big influence on the recipient, they would do it more ______. Kumar adds.

Kumar says this study told us that “simple, small changes in our everyday lives can make a big difference in how we treat other people and how we feel.”
