    Honeybees are disappearing for unknown reasons around the United States．Last winter, bees disappeared from 23 percent of American beekeeping businesses．Causes of the phenomenon, however, have remained a mystery．
    Now, scientists from several universities and the United States Department of Agriculture say they have a possible explanation for the bee decline（数量下降）．It is a little known virus called Israeli acute--paralysis virus （IAPV）．The virus kills bees．Researchers in Israel first described it in 2004 , but until now, bee experts hadn’t paid much attention to it．
    When trying to find out why the bees were disappearing, a research team at Columbia University studied bee colonies （群体）, some with and the others without decline．The research turned up large numbers of two types of fungi （真菌） once suspected of causing the bee decline．The research results, however, showed that the fungi were almost as common in colonies without a decline as they were in colonies with a decline．The researchers concluded that the two fungi probably weren’t the cause．
    Studies of the presence of IAPV, however, showed more interesting information．In those studies, done by a team at Pennsylvania State University in University Park, the virus showed up in 83 percent of samples from colonies with symptoms （症状）．Only five percent of samples from symptomless colonies had it．
    Scientists still don’t know whether IAPIV can single--handedly cause the bee decline．They believe that even if the virus is making colonies sick , it could have a partner in crime．It’s possible, for instance, that insects or chemicals in the environment weaken bees, making them more likely to catch IAPV．
    Scientists are still trying to figure out how IAPV came to the United States．The United States currently allows bee products to be imported from Canada, Australia, and New Zealand．If it turns out that this trade is spreading disease, the rules might eventually change．
    小题1:According to the passage ，IAPV is a virus that ______．
    A．hasn’t attracted much attention
    B．well-known to doctors and scientist
    C．was first found by Austrian researchers
    D．is dangerous to animals and human beings
    小题2:The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph probably means______．
    A．the virus could also cause other damages
    B．there must be something that is the real cause
    C．IAPV is not the only cause for the bee decline
    D．the virus may be caused by the polluted environment
    小题3:From the third and fourth paragraphs, we know researchers draw their conclusions by means of _______．
    A．calculating B．comparingC．examiningD．investigating
    小题4:What still remains unknown to American scientists according to the passage?
    A．How and why to kill IAPV．
    B．How IAPV came to America．
    C．Whether bee products should be imported．
    D．How to change the rules of the bee products trade．
    小题5:The best title for this passage would be _____．
    A．Bee DiseaseB．How to Kill IAPV
    C．A Virus—IAPVD．Two Types of Fungi

    There is a brown female(母的) Canadian duck that weighs only four hundred fifty grams. The duck had flown to the southern state of Florida for the winter．A hunter shot it on January fifteenth and  took it to his home in the city of Tallahassee．He put it in the refrigerator(冰箱)．Two days later the man’s wife opened the refrigerator door．The duck lifted its head and looked at her．It was alive!
    The family took the duck to a doctor who treats animals．The doctor gave the duck to the Goose Creek Animal Sanctuary(动物保护区)．Animal sanctuaries provide homes for animals and teach people about their care．
    The doctor said it was easy to understand why people thought the duck was dead. He said ducks generally do not move a 1ot，especially after being shot．And he said its low body temperature helped it survive in the refrigerator．
    That was enough to make the duck famous around the world．The Tallahassee newspaper published the story that was re-printed in many different countries．But that was not the end of the story．
    Workers at the wildlife sanctuary named the duck Perky．And they got the doctor to give an operation to repair the duck’s damaged wing．During the operation，Perky stopped breathing--not just once but two times．The doctor tried to save Perky by giving her oxygen．But he finally said the duck had died．A few seconds later, however, Perky began to move．Reports say the people in the operating room were so happy that they cried.

    Experts say the American state of Hawaii has been invaded (入侵)by a small frog called the coqui (ko--kee). There may be millions of the small frogs in Hawaii. However, they do not belong there. They are normally found in the southeastern United States. The coqui frogs are harming Hawaii’s environment. And the extremely loud noise they make is causing problems for Hawaiian citizens and visitors.
    The coqui invaders arrived in Hawaii about ten years ago. They were believed to have been brought in accidentally in shipments of plants from Florida. Their number has sharply increased. They have quickly spread around the Hawaii Islands hidden in plants.
    The coqui is a brown frog about five centimeters long. During the day, the frogs hide in wet protected areas, such as under plant leaves. At night, the frogs move onto trees to feed, call to females and mates. The call of the male coqui sounds like. Ko kee! Ko kee!
    In the southeastern United States, local people celebrate coqui frogs. But in Hawaii, the foreign frog has been considered as a harmful animal. The coqui frogs are a major danger to Hawaii’s environmental system. The frogs eat thousands of insects (昆虫)every night. These insects are important for the reproduction of plants. The insects also are important food for Hawaii’s native rare birds. The frogs also are affecting the tourism industry in Hawaii. Increasing numbers of hotels, visitors and local people have been annoyed by the loud calls made by male coqui frogs to female frogs. At night, the noise often makes it difficult for people to sleep.
    The frogs do not have any natural enemies in Hawaii to reduce their population size. The warm weather permits them to lay eggs all year long. There are many efforts in Hawaii designed to stop the spread of the coqui. It is a crime to transport ,sell or release(释放)the frogs there.
    The Hawaii Department of Agriculture is trying to find an effective chemical that can be safely used to kill the frogs. For now, the frogs may only be caught by hand. The Hawaii Department of Agriculture says the greatest danger to the economy and environment of the state is from harmful species, like the coqui.
    小题1:The statement that can best summarize the main idea of the passage is         .
    A．the coqui invaders have seriously affected the tourism industry in Hawaii
    B．it is not permitted to transport, sell or release the coqui frogs in Hawaii
    C．the coqui invasion has serious effects on the economy and environment in Hawaii
    D．great efforts have been made by the Hawaii people to kill the coqui
    小题2:The coqui frogs originally arrived in Hawaii            .
    A．by chanceB．at the request of all the local citizens
    C．as a giftD．as goods demanded in the local market
    小题3:Visitors to Hawaii don’t like the coqui frogs mainly because                 .
    A．they are a big danger to the environmental system there
    B．the loud noise made by the frogs bother their rest at night
    C．they affect the reproduction of the local plants and insects
    D．visitors could no longer see the native rare birds because of them
    小题4:The two factors leading to the rapid spread of coqui frogs in Hawaii are           .
    A．the frogs’ habit and the environment in Hawaii
    B．the large number of the insects and the plants in Hawaii
    C．the geographic location of Hawaii and its tourism industry
    D．the warm weather there and the frogs’ lack of natural enemies

    Cloning is suggested as a means of bringing back a relative, usually a child, killed tragically. Some parents can understand that wish, but it must first be recognized that the copy would be a new baby and not the lost child. Here lies the difficulty, for the sad parents are seeking not a new baby but a return of the dead one. Since the original would be fondly remembered as having particular talents and interests, would not the parents expect the copy to be the same? It is possible, however, that the copy would develop quite differently. Is it fair to the new child to be placed in a family with such unnatural expectations?
    Copying is also suggested as a means by which parents can have the child of their dreams. Couples might choose to have a copy of a film star, baseball player or scientist, depending on their interest. But because personality is only partly the result of genetic inheritance(遗传), conflicts would be sure to arise if the cloned child failed to develop the same interests as the original. What if the copy of Einstein shows no interest in science? Or the baseball player turns to acting? Success also depends upon fortune. What if the child does not live up to the hopes and dreams of the parents simply because of bad luck?
    Every child should be wanted for itself, as an individual. In making a copy of oneself or some famous person, a parent is deliberately（深思熟虑地） specifying(详细说明) the way he or she wishes that child to develop. In recent years, particularly in the U.S., much importance has been placed on the right of individuals to reproduce in ways that they wish. So I suggest there is a greater need to consider the interests of the child and to reject these proposed uses of cloning.
    40. What happens to parents in cloning a lost child?
    A. Parents expect too much from the copy.
    B. Parents may get a quite different copy.
    C. Parents are sure to have an identical copy.
    D. Parents lose the talents of the lost child.
    41. What,  in  the  author’s  opinion,  affects  the success of parents’ dreams?
    A. The cloned child’s interest in Einstein.
    B. The cloned child’s natural talent.
    C. The cloned child’s personality.
    D. The efforts of the parents.
    42. In the third paragraph, the author implies that ______.
    A. the cloned child is viewed as independent
    B. the right of growing in his own way is taken away from the cloned child
    C. parents carefully protect the rights of the cloned child
    D. parents are eager to wish the cloned child to be somebody.
    43. In this passage, the author is mainly concerned about ______.            
    A. the future of a cloned child
    B. the possibility of cloning people
    C. the importance of cloning a lost child
    D. the problems of cloning life

    The story of "Who Moved My Cheese?" was created by Dr.  Spencer. Johnson to help him deal with a difficult change in his life.  It showed him how to take his changing situation seriously but not take himself so seriously.
    When his friends noticed how much better life had become for him, and asked why, Dr. Johnson shared his  "Cheese"  story.  Many later said how greatly the story had helped them to keep their sense of humor, to change, and to gain something better, too.
    Twenty years after the story was created,  "Who Moved My Cheese?" was finally published. It soon became a No.1 international best seller,  with one million hardcover copies in print within the first sixteen months and over ten million copies within the next two years.

    Yoga（瑜伽）is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. After a long time of practice yoga, you no longer just practice it — you love it.
    Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned（有弹性的）, and more flexible as you move from one pose to another. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat, and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. “Rather than building muscles, yoga builds muscle tone,” says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of KISS Guide to Yoga. “Because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism（新陈代谢）, and it also helps to control weight. Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat around the cells disappear, thus losing weight.”
    I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need an increase in energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative（恢复体力的）poses.
    Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves（使消除）stress and anxiety. I use yogic breathing on the tennis court, in the dentist’s chair, and when I’m stuck in traffic.
    You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, but not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “surrender” to the poses by letting go of the tension.
    64. What will be talked about if this passage continues?
    A. Yoga is becoming part of your spiritual life.
    B. Yoga is becoming popular all over the world.
    C. The disadvantages of yoga.
    D. Encouraging people to do yoga.
    65. According to the second paragraph, yoga can help people ___.
    A. grow tall             B. lose weight C. be flexible in thinking     D. make friends
    66. Why does a person feel tired after yoga?
    A. Because when practicing yoga, people will consume a lot of energy.
    B. Because he or she surrenders to the poses by letting go of the tension.
    C. Because yoga doesn’t benefit all the people.
    D. Because he or she doesn’t do yoga poses naturally.
    67. What would be the best title for this passage?
    A. What’s yoga?                                         B. How do I do yoga poses?
    C. The benefits of yoga.                           C. The varieties of yoga.

    The Vienna-based researchers showed that dogs will stop doing a simple task when not rewarded if another dog, which continues to be rewarded, is present．
    The experiment consisted of taking pairs of dogs and getting them to present a paw for a reward．On giving this “handshake” the dogs received a piece of food．One of the dogs was then asked to shake hands, but received no food．The other dog continued to get the food when it was asked to perform the task．
    The dog without the reward quickly stopped doing the task, and showed signs of anger or stress when its partner was rewarded．
    To make sure that the experiment was really showing the interaction between the dogs rather than just the frustration of not being rewarded, a similar experiment was conducted where the dogs performed the task without the partner．Here they continued to present the paw for much longer．
    Dr Frederike Range from the University of Vienna says this shows that it was the presence of the rewarded partner that was the greater influence on their behaviour．
    “The only difference is one gets food and the other doesn’t, they are responding to being unequally rewarded．” she said．
    The researchers say this kind of behaviour, where one animal gets frustrated with what is happening with another, has only been observed in primates(灵长类) before．
    Studies with various types of monkeys and chimpanzees show they react not only to seeing their partners receiving rewards when they are not, but also to the type of reward．
    The dog study also looked at whether the type of reward made a difference．Dogs were given either bread or sausage, but seemed to react equally to either．Dr Range says this may be because they have been trained．
    57．The dogs refused to give the paw when they_______．
    A．found another dog was given nothing
    B．felt they were not treated equally
    C．were aware they received less food
    D．were given too much reward
    58．What would the dogs do if they presented their paw alone?
    A．They would go on with the performance much longer．
    B．They would be too shy to present their paw．
    C．They would miss their partners．
    D．They would compare what they got with that of others．
    59．According to the passage, compared with dogs, monkeys and chimpanzees ______．
    A．pay no attention to the type of reward
    B．only like to play interesting games
    C．pay attention to the type of reward as well as whether they are rewarded
    D．care more about how they are rewarded
    60．Which of the following can best summerise the passage?
    A．Animals’ various ways to show anger
    B．Dogs are more envious than man
    C．Most animals want to be be rewarded for their work
    D．Animals also have a sense of fairplay
