【題目】閱讀理解。
According to a national study, in the summer of 2013, the long-term(長期的) warm weather in the UK has made the number of butterflies increase.
Around 46,000 volunteers(志愿者) took part in the year's Big Butterfly Count(統(tǒng)計), and they found 830,000 butterflies.Volunteers were asked to make a record.They would record how many times they found one of 21 different kinds of butterflies.
Later, the scientists used the records to find out how many butterflies of different kinds were found across the country.Then, they compared the results to the year before.They found that there was a rise in the number of 15 kinds of butterflies, and some of them went up by 50% compared to recent years.They said the increase in butterfly numbers was a result of warm weather.
However, scientists also said that the number of butterflies was in decline(下降) as a whole, and that we might not see the same result the next year.
Richard Fox, who works for Butterfly Conservation, said, “UK butterflies are in long-term decline.Studies have been done since the 1970s.They show that UK butterflies have declined in type and number.”
He added, “We must halt the long-term decline of these beautiful creatures(生物).The only way is by stopping the damage that has been done to the butterflies' habitats(棲息地) across the UK.”

【解析】文章大意：本文敘述了根據(jù)一項全國性調(diào)查，在英國由于天氣變暖和了，蝴蝶的數(shù)量增加了，告誡我們?yōu)榱吮ＷC這些生物的數(shù)量。唯一的辦法是不能破壞它們的棲息地。
（1）細節(jié)理解題。題意：要求志愿者們做什么？A.study 830,000 butterflies研究830，000只蝴蝶；B.help scientists take notes幫助科學(xué)家作筆記；C.record the number of each kind of butterfly記錄每種蝴蝶的數(shù)量；D.find how many kinds of butterflies there are找出有多少種蝴蝶。由第二段Volunteers were asked to make a record.They would record how many times they found one of 21 different kinds of butterflies.可知志愿者被要求記錄每種蝴蝶的數(shù)目。故選C。
（2）推理判斷題。題意：從研究中我們知道什么？A.There were 20 kinds of UK butterflies.有20種英國蝴蝶；B.50% more UK butterflies were found in 2013.在2013年發(fā)現(xiàn)了50%以上的英國蝴蝶；C.The number of 15 kinds of UK butterflies increased.增加了15種英國蝴蝶；D.There was a long-term increase in UK butterfly number.在英國蝴蝶數(shù)量有一個長期的增長。由第三段里的：They found that there was a rise in the number of 15 kinds of butterflies可知發(fā)現(xiàn)增加了15種蝴蝶。故選C。
（3）詞義猜測題。題意：第四段里有下劃線的“the same result” 是什么意思？A.The weather is cold.天氣冷；B.The weather is warm.天氣暖和；C.UK butterfly numbers decline.英國蝴蝶下降；D.UK butterfly numbers increase.英國蝴蝶增加。由短文However, scientists also said that the number of butterflies was in decline(下降) as a whole, and that we might not see the same result the next year.可知指代英國蝴蝶數(shù)量會增加。故選D。
（4） 詞義猜測題。題意：最后一段里有下劃線的 “halt” 意思是人？A.stop停止；B.study學(xué)習(xí)；C.make使，制造；D.plan計劃。句意：We must halt the long-term decline of these beautiful creatures我們必須halt這些美麗的生物的長期下降。可以推測出其含義是停止，故選A。
（5） 題目推斷題。題意：短文最好的標題是什么？A.Different kinds of butterflies in the UK英國不同各類的蝴蝶；B.Big Butterfly Count in the UK in 2013.在2013年英國的大蝴蝶數(shù)數(shù)；C.UK Scientists made butterfly numbers increase.英國科學(xué)家使蝴蝶數(shù)量增加；D.Warm weather made UK butterfly numbers increase.暖和的天氣使英國蝴蝶數(shù)量增長。本文主要是講天氣變暖、蝴蝶的數(shù)量增加，故選D。
