32、in the world, Yet much of Africa has not been developed by man into farms and cities. One of the reasons is that a dangerous and unpleasant insect called the tsetse fly(采采蝇 )is found there. This fly makes its home in the heart of Africa. The tsetse fly is a little larger than the housefly. Its name
33、means “fly that destroys cattle“. It lives by sucking blood from animals. It attacks man, as well as his herds of cattle. The tsetse fly carries sleeping sickness to those men it bites. Sleeping sickness makes men veryill, and some forms of it cause death. The tsetse fly also causes diseases in anim
34、als. In some places in Africa, it has destroyed whole cattle herds. It is hard for man and his cattle to live with the tsetse fly. Some experts even think that it has kept 400 million square miles of Africa a wilderness. This wilderness is a place as large as the whole United States. Without the tse
35、tse fly, more land could be used by man. Without it, many more cattle could be raised. People are working to get rid of the fly. However, it is a hard job and will take a long time. 60 On the whole, the passage is mainly about _. （ A） the second largest continent in the world （ B） a dangerous and un
36、pleasant insect （ C） farmland in the heart of Africa （ D） a kind of illness that can destroy cattle 61 Why is the tsetse fly a problem in Africa? （ A） People do not like the sound it makes. （ B） It eats food that people need. （ C） It has killed many cattle herds. （ D） It can destroy the crop there.
37、62 Which statement does this passage lead you to believe? （ A） It wont be easy to get rid of the tsetse flies in Africa. （ B） Sleeping sickness is unknown to Africans. （ C） People did not know sleeping sickness could cause deaths. （ D） The people there did not know the tsetse carried a kind of disea
38、se to man. 63 Which of the following is true? （ A） People have done nothing to get rid of the tsetse flies. （ B） People are trying to find out ways to get rid of the tsetse flies. （ C） No ways can be found to get rid of the tsetse flies. （ D） It wont be long before people get rid of all the tsetse f
39、lies in Africa. 64 Most of the animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership (伙伴关系 )which is good for both of them. You may see some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is
40、 not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫 )on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they move the cause of discomfort. So although they can live without each other, they do better together. Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationsh
41、ip develops until the two partners can not live without each other. This is so in the corals(珊瑚 )of the sea. In their skins there are tiny plants which act as “dustmen“, taking some of the waste products from the corals and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are
42、 killed, or are even prevented from receiving light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die. 64 Some birds like to sit on a sheep because _. （ A） they can eat its parasites. （ B） they enjoy travelling with the sheep （ C） they depend on the sheep for existence （ D） they find the positi

45、edtime was always my favourite part of the day. Wearing soft pajamas and with Tom, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I left no pressure at all. I named Tom after my uncle when I compared Toms long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up to Uncle Tom at a family party and told him I had named my monkey
46、 after him. His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle(咯咯笑 )escaped his lips. I guessed he didnt understand how important it was to me. Even if Uncle Tom didnt think my monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown. My mother thought that Tom was the best-dress
47、ed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne(科隆香水 )I used on him years ago made him still smell“ pretty“. For a long time, Tom went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too
48、 old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again. It took me several years to realize that it was Ok to mis
