From the earliest times men seem to have noticed the habits of insects, and to have learnt lessons from them. Ants and bees work very hard during the summer, 31 enough food to last during the winter. They give us a good
example to 32 . If we waste time when the conditions are good for work, we shall probably 33 later; when we really want to work, we are unable to do so.
Moths, and some other insects, cannot help flying towards a light of any kind. The attraction seems to be too strong for them. As a result, they often 34 themselves by flying into something that is burning, such as a lighted candle. In some countries, when such insects as flying ants become a nuisance(讨厌的东西), people 35 themselves by lighting fires at the doors of their cottages. Sometimes the insects fly into the fire in such large numbers that they put it out. In literature we often find poets warning us of the danger of being attacked by 36 or beautiful things that will destroy us.
Butterflies are admired for their 37 , though they receive very little praise for anything else. They fly 38 in the sunshine, going from flower to flower, happy all day long, leading a life of 39 . They are beautiful, but it seems that they are not of much 40 use to anybody. Some human beings lead very much the same sort of life 41 they are butterflies of society.
Locusts are 42 .They are active enough, too active. They spend their time eating the food of others. Unfortunately there are men like this, destroying things wherever they go, taking for themselves 43 belongs to others, using up everything and 44 nothing. They are human 45 .
Perhaps it may be said that even the worst insects have one use: they warn us not to be like them.

四、阅读理解(30%)
阅读短文，根据短文内容选择最佳选项填空。
(A)
Almost five hundred years ago, a man stood alone on the coast of Spain, looked out across the water towards the west and said to himself, "The earth cannot be flat. If I sail to the west sooner or later I shall hit land, India, perhaps. And the Queen will have a new and shorter way to the riches of that country." The man was Christopher Columbus.
He asked Queen Isabella of Spain to help him. The Queen agreed and gave him men and ships. So Columbus sailed west for many weeks through rough seas. At last he saw land, it was a group of islands, now called the west Indies. Columbus was sure that the land was India and he called the natives Indos.
Columbus's story quickly spread across Europe. The English changed his word Indos to Indians. It was soon learned that Columbus had made a mistake, that he had not sai1ed to India.
The first European settlers (定居者) who arrived in North Carolina and Virginia in the early 1600s called the natives Indians. Today the word Indian is used to describe(描述) the families of the first peoples of North and South America. In the far north in Alaska and Canada, they are called Patagonians.
The word Indian is used in a number of American expressions. One of these expressions is Indian summer. Indian summer is the short time of warm sunny weather that usually returns after the first cold days of autumn. An Indian giver is someone who gives you a gift and then wants you to return it. Indian corn is dried corn with yellow, red and green cobs (穗轴) In some parts of the United Sates, Indian corn is tied to doors as a sign that autumn has arrived.
46. Christopher Columbus thought he would help the Queen of Spain become
richer if ______.
A. the earth was round B. he could sail on the sea
C. he could discover the land of so-called India
D. the land was exactly India
47. Why are the group of islands now called the West Indies?
A. The second paragraph doesn't tell us why. B. They are west of India.
C. They are west of Spain. D. Colun1bus sailed west across sea.
48. What mistake did Columbus make in the land naming?
A. He named the land North and South America.
B. He named the land India. C. He changed his word Indos into Indians.
D. He spread the word Indians across
49. Which of the following statements is Not true?
A. The first European settlers were called Indians.
B. It was in the early l600s that the European settlers arrived at North America.
C. The first European settlers called the natives Indians.
D. Eskimoes live in the north of Alaska and Canada.
50. The first peoples of North and South America were ________.
A. the first European settlers B. those who had lived there earliest
C. are called Eskimoes D. are called Patagonians
(B)
It is true that a smile means the same thing in any 1anguage. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of clear similarities in the way different animals show the same feeling. Dogs and tigers, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because such behavior patterns are inherited (遗传) rather than learned.
Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the word. In Chinese and in English fiction, a sentence like "He went pale and began to tremble (颤抖)." suggests that the man is either very afraid or has just had a very terrible shock. However "He opened his eyes wide." is used to suggest anger in Chinese while in English it expresses surprise. In Chinese, surprise can be described in a phrase like "they stuck out (伸出) their tongues". Sticking out your tongue in English is insulting (侮辱) or expresses disgust.
Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to understand clearly and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness in people's faces. Disgust, contempt (蔑视) and suffering seem to be the most difficult emotions for people everywhere either to recognize or to express. Other studies have shown that older people usually find it easier to recognize body language than younger people do. And psychologists (心理学家) such as E.G..Beier have also shown that some people often give the completely impression of how they feel. For example, they try to show love but in fact communicate dislike. Or when they want to show interest, they give the impression that they don't care. This can happen even among close friends and members of the same family. In other words, what we think we are communicating through language, voice, face and body movements may be the exact opposite of what for people understand.
51. According to the passage, even in different cultures the most easily
recognized emotion is ________.
A. anger B. dislike C. happiness D. surprise
52. Experiments show that easier understanding of words and gestures has
something to do with your ________.
A. age and sex B. love and cultural differences
C. impressions about the speaker D. emotional state
53. When we communicate with people, ________.
A. we know exactly what they mean while they express their emotions
B. we sometimes misunderstand each other
C we usually mislead them by expressing the opposite of our feeling
D. it seems much mere difficult to understand body language than language
54. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. When we communicate our real emotions, we may cause
misunderstanding to others.
B. Different people in different cultures may have different ways to
understand one gesture.
C. Some people are likely to hide their real feelings and express them in the
opposite way.
D. What we say does always mean the same thing as the gestures we make.
55. The underlined word “disgust” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____” in
this passage.
A. strong dislike B. friendliness C. love D. sickness

Waterland, Califormia, USA June 26, 2001 —— two cars dropped from sight, falling into the bottom of a 40-foot deep sinkhole which appeared suddenly. At a town 12 miles from Waterland, two bedrooms of one house dropped into a hole 60 feet across and 35 feet deep, part of the next house hung dangerously over the hole. Sinkholes have been happening without warning in this part of the world for years. So far there is no way to predict (预告) when or where one will appear. But when one does, others usually follow in the same area, usually along a straight line.
The worst sinkhole in recent years appeared in l996. It was 70 feet across and l50 feet deep. It destroyed one house, damaged several others and broke the walls of a city block. One hole, l5 feet deep, opened up this year in the middle of a highway l9 seconds after a car had been driven by. Others in the same area took place at night, damaging houses, swallowing up trees and parts of streets and making 23 frightened persons run away from their homes in night clothes.
Sinkholes happen when the weather is dry. The earth at the surface begins to drop into empty space under the ground, like sand falling in a huge hourglass (沙漏). This is how a sinkhole is formed.
71. From the passage we know that sinkholes seldom happen ________.
A. in a straight line B. during a period of wet weather
C. at night D. in the dry season
72. When one sinkhole appears, others usually fol1ow ________.
A. everywhere B. on straight highways only
C. nearby D. in the places far away
73. The reason why sinkholes happen is that ________.
A. dry earth moves and fills underground holes
B. there are large holes under houses
C. Waterland has an underground lake
D. there are too many heavy things such as cars and houses on the
surface of the earth
74. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Why a sinkhole happens and how its name was formed.
B. Even drivers cannot keep away from sinkholes.
C. Sinkholes always happen without any warning.
