Ⅵ. 阅读理解
When autumn arrives in the United States and Canada, you can see one of nature’s greatest scenes — the yearly migration(迁徙) of the monarch butterflies(帝王蝶).
No other butterfly in the world migrates like the orange and black monarch of North America. They can not live for long periods in cold weather. So each autumn around October, the butterflies travel up to 3,000 kilometers south to spend winter. Some even fly to the mountains of Mexico.
It usually takes the butterflies two months to reach Mexico. When it is warm, they start to back north in the spring. But not one butterfly finishes the whole trip. They lay eggs along the way and die. It might take the monarchs as many as four to five generations(代) to complete the journey all the way back up to Canada, says Sarina Jepsen, who directs the endangered species program for the Xerces Society.
The most amazing thing about these butterflies is that they return to the very same trees. in Mexico that their great-great-grandparents used the winter before.
However, the number of these colorful butterflies has dropped in recent years. The US Fish and Wildlife Sen ice said that nearly a billion monarchs have disappeared from overwintering sites(越冬地点) since 1990, the Washington Post reported, one of the main reasons, experts say, is that farmers have used herbicides(除草剂) on the milk weed(马利筋) plants that these butterflies feed on.
31. What color are the monarch butterflies
A. Orange and black.
B. Pink and black.
C. Orange and white.
32. How long does it take the monarch butterflies to reach Mexico
A. One month. B. Two months. C. Four to five generations.
33. What is the most amazing thing about the monarch butterflies
A. They migrate to visit their friends.
B. They are protected by their family members.
C. They can return to the same trees that their ancestors lived in.
34. From the passage, we know that the number of the monarchs has dropped mainly because of ______.
A. less food B. bad weather C. air pollution
35. What might the writer talk about next after the passage
A. How to plant more trees.
B. How to research these butterflies.
C. What we can do to protect these butterflies.

Dear Editor,
I’ve just read an article in a newspaper about saving tigers. As we all know, tigers are national protected animals. It says that the number of tigers is becoming smaller in our country. It’s terrible. I saw a few people sell bones of tigers by the roadside the other day. I also learned that some people killed tigers in order to make money. And too many trees have been cut down. The places where tigers used to live have been destroyed. Tigers are in danger of dying out.
Our government should punish the hunters. We should try our best to make our earth pleasant and peaceful, not only for human beings but also for animals.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
