the 3,000-meter run.

Monarch butterflies（黑脉金斑蝶）are a common summer sight in the northern United States
and 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 B. an area in Mississippi
C. a forest in Mexico 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. B. Scientists’ interest in monarchs.
C. Winter home of monarchs. D. Life and death of monarchs.
B
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.
第3页 | 共12页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.”
“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 B. go back to elite competition
C. set a qualifying time and win gold 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 B. the youth camp
C. the friendship 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
第4页 | 共12页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, is one of the necessary conditions to run a bookshop.
A. an educated shop-owner B. a good position at a street corner
C. a regular journey out of the shop 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
第5页 | 共12页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
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
第6页 | 共12页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
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
