A
Monarch butterflies from eastern Canada make the most amazing journey in the insect world. Each year, this butterfly travels about 3,000 miles to its winter home in central Mexico(墨西哥). How can it fly so far And why does it make this long and dangerous trip Scientists still don't have an answer.
For many years, people in Mexico wondered where the orange-and-black butterflies came from every winter. Then, in 1937, a scientist started to follow and study the butterflies. For the next 20 years, he discovered that one butterfly started its journey in Canada. Four months later, it arrived in Mexico.
The length of the butterflies' trip is only one part of the mystery. Another amazing thing is that the butterflies always return to the same area in central Mexico.
How do the butterflies find their way back to the same place This is an interesting question because only every fourth generation(代) makes the trip south. In other words, the butterfly that travels to Mexico this year is the great-great-grandchild of the butterfly that traveled there last year.
Each year, four generations of a Monarch butterfly family are born. Each generation of the family has a very different life. The first generation is born in the south in late April. It slowly moves north, reproduces(繁衍), and then dies. On the trip north, two more generations are born, reproduce, and die. Each of these generations of butterflies lives for only two to five weeks. In autumn, the fourth generation of butterflies is born. This generation has a much longer life. It lives for about eight months. This generation of butterflies makes the amazing journey back to the winter home of its great-great-grandparents. The butterflies spend the winter there, and in spring they reproduce and then die. Their offspring will be the first generation of the next circle of life.
Today, people are still studying the Monarch butterfly. But they are not clear about everything.
1.It took the scientist to find out that Monarch butterflies came from Canada.
A.20 years B.4 months C.5 weeks D.8 months
2.We know that the generation of Monarch butterflies travels back to central Mexico.
A. first B. second C. third D. fourth
3.Which statement is TRUE according to the text
A. Monarch butterflies spend winter in eastern Canada.
B. The four generations have the same length of life.
C. Some generations die on the way north to Canada.
D. Scientists are clear about everything of the butterflies.
4.The best title of the passage can be “ ”.
A .Family of Monarch Butterflies
B. The Mystery of Monarch Butterflies
C. Monarch Butterflies' Birthplace
D. Monarch Butterflies' Winter Home
【答案】ADCB
【解析】1.A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“For the next 20 years, he discovered that one butterfly started its journey in Canada.”可知选A。
2.D 推断题。由第五段倒数第三句This generation of butterflies makes the amazing journey back to the winter home of its great-great-grandparents 可知，这一代王蝶创造了回到它高祖父母的冬季故乡的奇幻旅 行。同时根据上文内容可知，这一代为第四代王 蝶。所以fourth符合题意。
3.C 判断正误题。
A项，结合第一段第二句 Each year, this butterfly travels about 3000 miles to its winter home in central Mexico （墨西哥）可知，这种蝴蝶每年穿越 三千英里来到它们冬天的家乡墨西哥中部。所以A 项表述错误。
B项，结合第五段第七句This generation has a much longer life可知，这一代拥有更长的生命。 所以B项表述错误。
C项，结合第五段第四句It slowly moves north, reproduces （繁衍），and then dies 可知，第一代王 蝶缓慢地向北移动，繁殖，然后死亡。所以C项表述正确。
D项，结合最后一段最后一句But they are not clear about everything可知，科学家还不完全知悉 所有的事情。所以D项表述错误。题干要求选择正确的（true）选项，C项符合题
4.B 主旨题。A项，本文没有着重讲述王蝶的家族。故A项错误。
B项，本文主要讲述王蝶的特点和生活习性，以及王蝶的传奇旅行，即王蝶的奥秘。故B项正确。
C项，本文没有着重讲述王蝶的出生地。故C项错误。
D项，本文没有着重讲述王蝶的冬季故乡。故D项 错误。
B
Stonchenge is a famous place in England, one of the oldest and most mysterious（神秘的）places in the world. It was probably put up between 1800 B．C．and 1400 B．C．It lies in the city of Salisbury, which is about 13 km south of Stonchenge.
Stonehenge was a ring of standing stones, including upright（垂直的）stones with a horizontal（水平的）stone lying across the top. When it was completed, it was made up of a double circle of stones with two more groups of stones outside the circles. Over time, however, many of the stones have been broken by wind and rain, only a small number is still standing today.
It is unclear who built Stonchenge or even how it was built. Many of the stones must have been transported over 250 miles to Stonchenge. Single stones, some of them weighing about four tons, must have been sent on rivers and rolled over land on tree trunks（树干）. They can’t have been carried! The men who moved the stones didn’t have wheels or horses. Each stone had to be moved by hand.
The purpose of Stonchenge is just as mysteries. It has been called a place to honor ancestors, a sun temple, an ancient clock and a calendar. Some people think the stones have been built in a special way to mark sunrise and sunset at certain times during the year, because the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Others have even thought that it was an ancient generator, which is a machine to produce electricity, because it was built along energy lines in the earth and was used to make use of the earth’s natural energies.
1．The underlined word “generator” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.
A．发热机 B．发电机 C．发动机
2．Stonehenge was a ring of standing stones with ________.
A．upright stones lying across the top
B．two more groups of stones outside the circles
C．a double circle of horizontal stones

A．It has been a place to honor ancestors.
B．It was a special way to mark where the sun rises and sets at certain places.
C．It was used to gather the sun’s energy.
4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．Stonchenge lies about 13 km east from the city of Salisbury.
B．All single stones weigh four tons.
C．People used hands to move each stone.
5．What’s the best title of this passage
A．Stonchenge—a Mysterious Place
B．Stonehenge—a Cultural Place
C．Stonchenge—a Natural Place
【答案】BBACA
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了世界上最古老和最神秘的地方之一：英国的巨石阵。
1.词义猜测题。根据下文“which is a machine to produce electricity,”是一种发电的机器，可知其他人甚至认为它是一个古老的发电机，因此可知generator的 意思应是“发电机”，故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据“When it was completed, it was made up of a double circle of stones with two more groups of stones outside the circles.”当它完工时，它是由两个石头组成的圆圈，圆圈外还有两组石头。可知，巨石阵是一圈立着的石头，圆圈外还有两组石头。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据“The purpose of Stonchenge is just as mysteries. It has been called a place to honor ancestors,”建造石阵的目的也同样神秘。它被称为纪念祖先的地方。可知，巨石阵的目的可能是一个纪念祖先的地方，故选A。
4.细节理解题。根据“Each stone had to be moved by hand.”每块石头必须用手搬动。可知人们用手搬动每块石头，故选C。
5.标题归纳题。根据“Stonchenge is a famous place in England, one of the oldest and most mysterious（神秘的）places in the world.”巨石阵是英国一个著名的地方，是世界上最古老和最神秘的地方之一。结合文章内容，可知文章主要讲述的是巨石阵的神秘之处，因此A选项符合题意，故选A。

Monarch butterflies from eastern Canada make the most amazing journey in the insect world. Each year, this butterfly travels about 3,000 miles to its winter home in central Mexico(墨西哥). How can it fly so far And why does it make this long and dangerous trip Scientists still don't have an answer.
For many years, people in Mexico wondered where the orange-and-black butterflies came from every winter. Then, in 1937, a scientist started to follow and study the butterflies. For the next 20 years, he discovered that one butterfly started its journey in Canada. Four months later, it arrived in Mexico.
The length of the butterflies' trip is only one part of the mystery. Another amazing thing is that the butterflies always return to the same area in central Mexico.
How do the butterflies find their way back to the same place This is an interesting question because only every fourth generation(代) makes the trip south. In other words, the butterfly that travels to Mexico this year is the great-great-grandchild of the butterfly that traveled there last year.
Each year, four generations of a Monarch butterfly family are born. Each generation of the family has a very different life. The first generation is born in the south in late April. It slowly moves north, reproduces(繁衍), and then dies. On the trip north, two more generations are born, reproduce, and die. Each of these generations of butterflies lives for only two to five weeks. In autumn, the fourth generation of butterflies is born. This generation has a much longer life. It lives for about eight months. This generation of butterflies makes the amazing journey back to the winter home of its great-great-grandparents. The butterflies spend the winter there, and in spring they reproduce and then die. Their offspring will be the first generation of the next circle of life.
Today, people are still studying the Monarch butterfly. But they are not clear about everything.

A.20 years B.4 months C.5 weeks D.8 months

Stonchenge is a famous place in England, one of the oldest and most mysterious（神秘的）places in the world. It was probably put up between 1800 B．C．and 1400 B．C．It lies in the city of Salisbury, which is about 13 km south of Stonchenge.
Stonehenge was a ring of standing stones, including upright（垂直的）stones with a horizontal（水平的）stone lying across the top. When it was completed, it was made up of a double circle of stones with two more groups of stones outside the circles. Over time, however, many of the stones have been broken by wind and rain, only a small number is still standing today.
It is unclear who built Stonchenge or even how it was built. Many of the stones must have been transported over 250 miles to Stonchenge. Single stones, some of them weighing about four tons, must have been sent on rivers and rolled over land on tree trunks（树干）. They can’t have been carried! The men who moved the stones didn’t have wheels or horses. Each stone had to be moved by hand.
The purpose of Stonchenge is just as mysteries. It has been called a place to honor ancestors, a sun temple, an ancient clock and a calendar. Some people think the stones have been built in a special way to mark sunrise and sunset at certain times during the year, because the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Others have even thought that it was an ancient generator, which is a machine to produce electricity, because it was built along energy lines in the earth and was used to make use of the earth’s natural energies.

A．发热机 B．发电机 C．发动机
2．Stonehenge was a ring of standing stones with ________.
