A
Monarch Butterflies
One of the last West Coast homes of the Monarch butterfly,a type of insect,may soon disappear.Strangely,it is in a town that calls itself Butterfly U.S.A,Pacific Grove, California.
The town of Pacific Grove loves the butterflies.Every year they have a parade(游行)and hundreds of children dress up as butterflies.Monarch butterflies are the town mascot.Tourism is very important,and many people come to see the butterflies.The butterflies are good for the development of the town.
In 1981 there were so many butterflies it looked like it was raining butterflies.Tens of thousands of Monarchs stayed on tree branches near Pacific Grove.Now there are not so many.
The building goes on a little bit at a time,and you don’t notice it day by day.Over time,you can see that there has been a lot of development.As new buildings go up,many trees are cut down.This reduces the natural homes for the butterflies.
Monarchs travel hundreds of miles each year,returning to the same woods,often to the same trees.The female Monarchs need milkweed to lay their eggs;the males will follow the females.
Millions of Monarchs have traveled regularly along the same path for thousands of years.They start their trip in the mountains of Mexico and travel to the middle part of America.If the woods where the butterflies live are destroyed,the whole species could be lost.There have been Monarch butterflies along the coast of California for as long as man can remember,but no one is sure how much longer they will last.

My bookshelves are full of dust—and with good reason.When it comes to cleaning that part of my home,I suffer from the most serious case of avoidance(回避反应症).
The thing is this:When I do set out to clean and re-organize my books,which seldom happens,I place myself into a really bad situation.No sooner do I take a title from the shelf, blow off the dust,and wipe down the cover thanI find myself sitting on the floor with legs crossed and my back against the wall.Pretty soon books get piled up on my legs as I am reunited with old friends.
It is as if these books have voices,and each wants to say its piece.“Remember me?I was given to you when you went into the Navy , so that you would never lack for companionship,”one whispers.Another says,“I was your first book of poems,given to you before you learned to love poetry.”And a third,“I was the book that made history so attrctive to you.”
Perhaps the greatest pleasure of re-organizing my books is the surprise—or better said,reunions—that occur. During my latest book cleaning adventure,I found one that had fallen behind the shelf:“Tales of Edgar Allan Poe.”Not an unusual title,but the words written on the first page made it very special“With Love from Mom and Dad,Christmas 1965.” What’s this? A book on the physics of lasers(激光).It is filled with mathematical statements,and I had bought it at a library sale when I was 12,not long after the laser had been invented.I couldn’t understand a bit of it,but I did learn what “laser”meant.
What I end up with when I empty my bookshelves is a cross-section(横剖面)of my personal history. It’s like a road cut where one sees all the layers of rock going back through time to the beginning of the simplest life forms.The books I’ve read—and kept—are not just old fiends.They’ re my resume.
64.What could be said about the author?
A.He is too busy to tidy up his bookshelves.
B.He considers his books treasured possessions.
C.He has made a lot of notes in his book.
D.He is a lover of sclence books.

C.they say a lot about human history
D.they offer good topic for discussion
66.What does the author enjoy most from re-orgazining his books?

D.Rediscovering interesting stories behind some books.

A. personal history B. precious notes
C. good companion D. simple life forms

Spending beyond one’s means is becoming a national problem for Americans.Borrowing has become so easy that it takes great willpower for people to refuse it.“I received a number of gold MasterCard and gold Visa card offers in the mail during the past two months,”said one computer engineer at AT &T Bell Laboratories in Chicago.“I got three of them in one day last week.”
Lenders are providing easy credit(信贷)for borrowers.Many banks now offer every borrower a great variety of credit,a service once offered almost only to big companies.Norwest Bank Minneapolis offers lending programs for cars and boats that can cut monthly payments nearly in half .Carmakers,too,are lengthening easier terms.Ford Motor Credit states that 45 % of its recent lendings has been for sixty months,rather than the sixty-six-month period that was usual before.
The total consumer debt(债务)in the United States rose 73 percent between 1974 and 1984,as the debt for each man,woman,and child increased from $10,264 to $26,566.Huge debt now is present in our economy(经济)at all levels.As a nation,we are more than $7 trillion in debt,and the total keeps increasing astonishingly.
As we have overborrowed,so have we overspent.In late 1986,the share of after-tax income that Americans saved sank below 2 percent for a short time,less than half the figure at which we saved only 10 years ago.Americans now are buying from foreigners between about $50 and $100 billion more Mercedes and Toyotas, Paris fashions,and tours to Europe than the Boeing 747s, agriculture machinery , or Kansas wheat that the foreigners bought from America. The country could not produce and pay for all the things it wanted.
To make a long story short, we Americans have serious problems in keeping down spending and keeping up personal savings.It is high time for us American people to learn the basics of long-term money management.
68.According to the author, what is a main reason for Americans to overspend?
A.Americans buy a lot of foreign products.
B.It is easy for Americans to manage their debts.
C.Borrowing money has become a simple matter.
D.Americans have more extra money than before.
69.Ford Motor Credit lengthens 45%of its lending to 60 months in order to_______.
A.help more Americans to settle their debts
B.encourage people to buy foreign cars
C.make better use of its money
D.attract more customers
70.What does the author suggestas a way to deal with overborrowing?
A.Teaching people how to manage money.
B.Advising people on what to buy.
C.Limiting the use of credit cards.
D.Reducing average incomes.
71.Which of the following points does the author wish to make?
A.America should sell more of its products abroad.
B.A healthy society has to learn to 1ive within its means.
C.People’s income determines their money management.
D.Govemment should prevent people from overborrowing.

Every person leaves a footprint. That’s what I learnt when I started to work as a private investigator 10 years ago.People pay restaurant bills with their bank card,check into hotels or travel around. In every case,they leave a trace.And because of this,I’m able to track them down even when they don’t want to be found.
The first thing I do when I want to find out where someone is staying is to go to the neighbourhood where he used to live.It’s human nature to tell stories—which is why neighbours will tell me all they know when I ring at their houses.Sometimes,someone even talks about his friend’s dishonesty.Then I produce a pattern of my subject’s life:if he likes to have a holiday in Spain or in Italy,if he prefers two- or three- star hotels and where he might hide his assets(资产).When I’ve got this life pattern,I start my research.
Nine times out of l0,I find the people I’m looking for.I once investigated a lorry supplier who owed £500,000 to a subcontractor(分包商).The subcontractor wanted to find out if it was worth bringing charges against the supplier.I found out the supplier had moved assets to his son,who founded a new company offering the same product.It was a11 done within the law.There was no money to be got from that operation.
However, I asked the son if I could speak to his father and he told me that his parent was on a long holiday in Spain and wouldn’t be back for a while.It didn’t take me long to find out that the father wasn’t in Spain.
I went back to the son and this time he told me that his father might be in Bulgaria,and I found him doing winter sports in a beautiful mountain area.He was 1iving in a big house on a 1arge piece of land he had bought for£400,000.This was exactly the kind of asset my customer was loooking for.
72.We learn from the text that a private investigator is one who_______.
A.follows people reports on what they do
B.helps people start businesses
C.gives advice to people about the law
D.settles arguments between companies
73.Why does the author visit the place where his subject used to stay?
A.To find out his hidden assets.
B.To gather information about him.
C.To discover why he is dishonest.
D.To find out where he spends his holiday.
74.The lorry supplier moved his assets to his son in oder to______.
A.pass on his debt to his son
B.double the business of his company
C.le t his son take over his lorry business
D.prevent paying back the money he owed
75.We may infer from the text that the subcontractor might______.
A.bring charges against the lorry supplier’s son
B.give up hope of settling the debt
C.sell the big house in Bulgaria
D.get his money back
良好的开端等于成功的一半!
A good beginning is half done!
