These large orange
15、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 th
16、eir 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 milli
17、ons 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
18、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. Scien
19、tists learn about monarchs migration by catching and making marks on the insects.

20、A. the Gulf of Mexico B. an area in MississippiC. a forest in Mexico D. a plain in Texas57.

BSYDNEY: As they sat sharing sweets beside a swimming pool in 1999, Shane Gould and Jessicah Schipper were simply getting alo
22、ng 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
23、 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 years United States Masters championships. Her comeback comes 32 years after she won three golds at the Munich Olympics. Schi
24、pper, 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
25、 if we had long been good friends. I dont 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 its like to be on an Australian team. It was really interesting.
26、”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 years national championships with second places in the 100m and 200m

30、 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
31、 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 th
32、at gives him a dislike for them. There was a time when I really did love booksloved the sight and smell and feel of themif 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
33、the unexpected books you pick 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 bedthere is nothing as good as a very old picture story-book. But as
34、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 cant borrow, and I never buy rubbish. 64. According to the
35、 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-stores65.

37、expectation D. geography ones from the eighteenth century67.

38、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, occur
39、ring 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. O
40、nly 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 prob
41、lems 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. Co
42、mmunications between pilots and ground controllers are extremely important to air safety. It is worth pointing out that the mishearing or misunderstanding of instructions in English, and the use of another language, in an international conversation, have led to two recent aircraft accidents. A new t
43、ype 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 skyB. there is no empty space for aids to aviation controlC. piloti
44、ng and controlling planes is getting more difficult D. the pressure on the ground becomes greater69. There is uncertainty about air safety because .A. planes become bigger for the increasing number of passengersB. money spent on electronic equipment is far from enoughC. suitable electronic equipment
45、 hasnt been invented yetD. it is dangerous for planes to take off or land70. The underlined word “collisions” probably means .A. accidents in which two planes hit each other B. misunderstandings between pilots and ground controllersC. quarrels among passengersD. breakdowns of new types of instrument71. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. governments and officials have paid great attention to air safetyB. there should be more companies to sell new safety aidsC. English should be used in an international conversationD. understanding between pilots and ground controllers shoul
