Sight Butterflies have large, compound (mult
27、ifaceted) eyes, which allow them to see in all directions without turning their heads. Like most insects, butterflies a re very nearsighted, so they are more attracted to a large stand of flowers rather than individual plants. Butterflies do not see colors such as red, green, and yellow, but sense p
28、olarized（偏振的） light, which indicates the direction the sun is shining, as well as ultraviolet light, which is present on many flowers and guides butterflies to nectar （花蜜） sources. Smell Butterflies have a very well-developed sense of smell, but its not in their nose (since they dont have one). Sens
29、e receptors located in their antennae, feet, and many other parts of the body help butterflies find food (usually flower nectar), and mates (the female smells the males pheromones). Taste Butterflys feet have sense organs that can taste the sugar in nectar, letting the butterfly know if something is
30、 good to eat or not. Some females also taste host plants in order to find appropriate places to lay their eggs. Adult butterflies and moths feed using a probo scis, a long, coiled tube. Butterflies force blood into the tube to straighten it out, allowing them to feed. Butterflies get all their food
31、from this tube. Hearing Butterflies dont have ears. Instead they hear sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations.

A group of res
35、earchers reported in the journal Science that when the Moon was created, some 4.5 billion years ago, there was not much hydrogen(氢气 ) on it, and therefore no water. The researchers surveyed and evaluated this by analyzing chlorine isotopes（氯同位素） found in lunar rock samples from Apollo missions. The
36、range of chlorine isotopes in lunar samples was 25 times that found in samples from Earth. If the Moon had significant levels of hydrogen, as Earth did, this range would have been far less, said Zachary D Sharp, a scientist in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of new M
37、exico and the studys lead authour. The chlorine would have stuck together with hydrogen, forming compounds like hydrogen chloride, and escaped from the Moons surface, he said. The abundance of chlorine indicates a lack of hydrogen and water. “ The amount of water on the Moon was too low for life to
38、possibly have existed there,” he said. Most scientists believe the Moon was formed when a large object stuck Earth, breaking off a chunk(a vast piece) that has since orbited Earth. On Earth, goes one theory, water was released as steam form molten basalts(玄武岩 ) over time, eventually forming bodies o
39、f water. “An understading of whether the Moon was dry or wet will help us understand how water appeared on Earth,” Dr Sharp said. 【小题 1】 A new study indicates that _ on the moorn. A there is plenty of water B water is unlikely to exist C water existed in the past D there is a little water now 【小题 2】
40、 The author would like to tell us _ through the sixth paragraph. A why there is no water on the Moon B how the Moon was formed C when the Earth struck the Moon D where the Moon orbited 【小题 3】 Which is NOT true according to the passage A. Zachary D. Sharp, a scientist of New Mexico was in charge of t
41、he new study. B. Chlorine isotopes in lunar samples are 25 time larger than those on the Earth. C. The more aboundant chloride, the shorter hydrogen and water. D. The new study is benificial to understand how water appeared on Earth. 【小题 4】 What can we learn from the passage A There is enough water
42、on the Earth. B Hydrogen chloride easily escaped from the Moons surface. C The Earth had significant levels of hydrogen. D Water on the Earth is directly from molten basalts. 答案：【小题 1】 B【小题 1】 B【小题 1】 B【小题 1】 C They leap from helicopters or speeding boats, bringing aid to swimmers who get into troub
43、le off Italys popular beaches. For these dog lifeguards, the doggie paddle （狗刨式游法） does just fine. These “lifedogs” tow a buoy(救生衣 ) that victims can grab, or a raft they can sit on to be towed back to shore, and unlike their human counterparts(与对方地位相当的人 ), they can easily jump from helicopters and
44、speeding boats to reach swimmers in trouble. With millions flocking(人群 ) to Italys crowded beaches each summer, the Italian Coast Guard says it rescues about 3,000 people every year and their dog helpers are credited with saving several lives. It takes three years for the canines to reach expert res

46、se the speed at which casualties（遇难者） are retrieved（找到并衔回） , to increase the security of both the casualty and of the lifeguard,” Gasbarri said.

47、o Pilenga, whose first trainee was his own Newfoundland. The school will train any breed（品种） , as long as they weigh at least 30 kilograms, but Labradors, Newfoundlands and golden retrievers are most commonly used because of their natural instinct for swimming. Each dog works in tandem with（同 合作） a
48、human lifeguard, who also acts as the animals trainer. 【小题 1】 Which of the following can act as the best title fo the passage A Dogs to the Rescue B Dogs Are Good at Doggie Paddle C The Wonderful Performance of Dogs D Dogs: Our Loyal Friends 【小题 2】 What advantage do these life-dogs have over human lifeguards in a rescue A Dog can swim ver
