20.There are about 15,000-20,000 species of butterflies all over the world.They can be found on every continent except Antarctica.
To go to sleep,butterflies look for a safe place like the underside of a leaf or a branch,for example.Most butterflies sleep alone,but there are also species sleeping in groups.Poisonous butterflies have a particular smell that probably protects them better when they sleep together.It is also useful not to change the group'S sleeping place because a predator(食肉動物)who attacked a poisonous butterfly one time won't do this again.There is only a limited number of predators in an area so there is only a limited number to"educate"if the sleeping place stays the same.
One species from Costa Rica whose scientific name is Marpesia berania sleeps in groups on a leaf.If one butterfly of the group is disturbed,it opens its wings and touches its neighbors.Being touched,they open their wings as well and so the whole group is informed about the danger and Can escape together.
The speed of their flight depends on the way the butterfly flies:Blues and Whites normally have speeds under 8 km/h,the speed of Fritillaries is between 16 to 40 km/h and some Skippers reach speeds up to 60 km/h.
Besides warning and scaring predators with colors butterflies fly in a special way.The direction of their amazing flight is hard to predict.When they hear the sounds of a bat,the ones flying at night start a zigzag(之字形)flight in all directions:up and down,left and right.So it gets hard for the bat to catch them.
In the dark when colors don't function,some poisonous butterflies make clicking noises to warn bats that they are poisonous.Of course other species copy this sound to produce the protective effect,too.
56.The reason why butterflies don't change the group'S sleeping place is thatB
A.a(chǎn) predator would attack them again in the same place
B.few other predators would attack them in this fixed area
C.the predators would know they are poisonous
D.there are more predators in other places
57.The author takes Marpesia berania for example in order toC.
A.introduce where butterflies sleep at night
B.tell us how butterflies work together to defeat predators
C.introduce how butterflies sleeping in groups escape from danger
D.tell us that Marpesia berania is the most clever butterflies
58.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?D
A.The different flight speeds of the butterfly.
B.Which butterfly flies at the highest speed.
C.Most butterflies fly at a low speed.
D.The different way the butterfly flies.
59.It'S hard for bats to catch butterflies because butterflies flyD.
A.much faster than bats   
B.a(chǎn)imlessly
C.a(chǎn)t different speeds
D.in a zigzag way
60.Some poisonous butterflies warn predators in the dark byC.
A.scaring predators with colors
B.touching their neighbors with their wings
C.making clicking noises
D.copying bats'sound to confuse predators.

17.Born in Amherst,Massachusetts,to a successful family,Elizabeth Dickinson was an American poet.She studied at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before (61)returning(return) to her family's house in Amherst where she lived (62)a peaceful life.She kept in touch with her friends by writing letters and was (63)unwilling(willing) to greet guests or,later in life,even leave her room.
Dickinson's poems are unique(獨一無二的) for the time she lived in; they contain short lines,typically lack titles,and often use half rhyme.Many of her poems deal (64)with themes(主題) of death and immortality(永生).Dickinson wrote about 1,800poems during her lifetime,but few of (65)them were published.Although most of her friends probably knew about Dickinson's writing,they didn't know (66)that she had produced so many poems until after her death in 1886,when her younger sister Lavinia discovered the place where the poems were hidden.(67)If her sister had not discovered them,the broadness of Dickinson's work wouldn't have become known.
Dickinson's first collection of poetry was published in 1890,the content(內(nèi)容) of (68)whichwas heavily edited(編輯) by the publishers (69)to fit (fit) the conventional poetic rules of the time.A complete and mostly unedited collection of her poetry became available for the first time in 1955.Now Dickinson (70)is considered (consider) to be one of the most important American poets.

9.Beijing-Premier Wen Jiabao has urged the leadership of all countries to deepen their political will in tackling climate change woes (災難) as uncertainties mount in the months before the United Nation's conference in Cancun,Mexico,at the end of this year.
Wen made the remarks on Friday when he met with nearly 20politicians,climate change and environmental ministers worldwide,who are in Beijing this weekend to attend an international forum on green economy and climate change.
Based on the achievements made at the Copenhagen Summit last December,Wen urged the rich countries to further clarify their compulsory carbon reduction targets."At the same time,we developing countries should make clear our voluntary goal of slowing down climate change,"Wen said.
Wen also urged the developed countries to transfer climate change friendly technologies to the developing countries,especially the poorest countries and island nations.
During the meeting,Wen said China will redouble its efforts in reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency during the coming years after it finishes its 2006-2010goal of cutting energy consumption per unit of economic output by 20percent.
While praising China for its green efforts,former Australian Prime Minister Robert J.Lee Hawke asked China to share its experiences and lessons on energy savings and pollution reduction to the rest of the world to tackle global environmental woes and climate change.
Wen responded:"China,together with the rest of the world,is willing to make its due contribution in coping with global warming and climate change."At a banquet for the foreign guests on Friday night,former vice-premier Zeng Peiyan said mounting uncertainties are ahead for the climate change negotiations.The world needs more dialogue and cooperation,Zeng said.
"Climate change woes are our shared challenges but the root lies in the historical emissions by the developed countries,"said Zeng,as president of the China Center for International Economic Exchanges,which organized the weekend climate change summit.
Zeng expected the forum to work as a platform for different countries to communicate their positions freely before the Bonn climate change negotiation in June and the Cancun conference at the end of this year.

51.Which title suits this passage best?A
A.We must work on climate change.
B.We should share our‘green'technology.
C.We need to clarify our action targets.
D.We ought to cooperate to control the climate.
52.Why did Wen Jiabao urge the developed countries to clarify their carbon reduction targets?C
A.Because the developed countries are not willing to deal with global environmental woes.
B.Because the developing countries have not set any goal of slowing down climate change.
C.Because there are mounting uncertainties ahead for the climate change negotiations.
D.Because agreements were already made at the Copenhagen Summit last December.
53.What kind of goal should a developing country have to slow down climate change?B
A.A less important goal.
B.A self-assessed goal.
C.A negotiation-based goal
D.A more compulsory goal.
54.The underlined part in the last paragraph but one impliesD.
A.Air pollution just existed in the developed countries in the past.
B.In the past,the developed countries slowed down the development of the world.
C.Climate change woes were originally caused by the developed countries.
D.The rich countries should be more responsible since they polluted most.
55.It can be inferred from the passage thatD.
A.The Chinese government intends to be regarded as a developed country.
B.The whole world has got the same opinion about the measures to take.
