閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（Ａ、Ｂ、Ｃ、Ｄ）中，選出最佳選項。
Get a reward for every bug you bring to live in new science museum exhibit.
In a city with trillions of American cockroaches(蟑螂), the Houston Museum of Natural Science has agreed to pay a quarter per bug－up to 1,000－as it seeks to populate a new insect exhibit alongside its Cockrell Butterfly Center.
Nancy Greig, the museum’s director insists the public payday for roaches isn’t just a marketing ploy(炒作).
“Absolutely, this wasn’t devised as a joke,” Greig said. “We needed more roaches for the exhibit, so I sent this message out to everyone in the museum asking people to bring them in. Well, someone decided to tell the press, and all hell has broken loose.”
“But we really do need cockroaches.”
“One might be forgiven for never considering how to catch a live cockroach. But it’s simple enough to fool them,” Greig said, “and even easier to catch them.” American cockroaches are the most common kind in Texas, measuring up to 2 inches long and invading homes.
Despite their less-than-attractive reputation, cockroaches actually aren’t that dirty. Greig even went so far as to call them “fastidious” saying they don’t enjoy rooting(用嘴拱食) in waste. They’re only dirty if, say, they used a sewer(下水道)line to gain access into a home.
The roaches collected by the museum will become part of a display in a new exhibit that showcases insects such as cockroaches, dung beetles and termites.
There’s more to like about roaches, too. They don’t bite, and they don’t carry diseases like a mosquito, so they’re generally safe to handle.
56．For what does the museum pay for cockroaches?
A．For a marketing ploy.                     B． It’s devised to make fun.
C．People really need them.                   D． For a new exhibit.
57．The underlined word “fastidious” probably means extremely ________.
A．clean              B．dirty               C．unpleasant      D．fast      
58．What do we know about American roaches?
A．It’s not easy for people in Houston to collect roaches.
B．They all measure 2 inches and are often found in homes
C．They don’t bite and they are free of disease.
D．We have reasons to like them.
59．Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?
A．The Houston Museum of Natural Science
B．A new exhibit
C．Quarters for cockroaches                       
D．A cockroach is lovely

The snow has paralysed(使癱瘓) transport in China during the country’s most important vacation period, the celebration of the Chinese New Year. Not only have transport delays hindered personal trips, but they have also slowed the delivery of fresh produce to markets. Consequently, in Zhengzhou, the capital city of the Henan province, tomato prices have doubled, and the cost of 47 other vegetables has increased by 36%, as reported by local media at the end of January.
According to an inside PR source, “wholesalers in Beijing were quoted as saying that only about 20% of the usual fresh vegetable supplies were reaching the city.” As an Asian country with a diet based on fresh produce, the shortage of vegetables and the rise in prices is not only affecting fresh food producers, but also the final consumers.
In terms of production, this is the worst snow disaster to hit China in the last 50 years, affecting a total of 9.4 million hectares of farmland in the country, according to a report published on 4 February 2008 by Feng Tao of Xinhua News, at the Chinese government website. Most of the crops devastated（毀壞）by the frost are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the traditional natural border between North and South China.
Chen Xiwen, Director of the Office of the Central Leading Group on Rural Work, pointed out at the end of last week that “the blizzard disaster in the south has had a severe impact on winter crops, and the impact on fresh vegetables could be catastrophic in certain areas”, as stated in the Xinhua News report.
The Chinese government has been quick to take extreme measures. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) has sent 13 teams of experts to 8 of the areas most seriously affected by the harsh weather. The aim of this initiative is to provide farmers with technical assistance to minimize their losses.
小題1:From this passage, we can know that the snow happened _____.
A．During the Spring Festival
B．In the coldest days of the winter
C．In the North of China.
D．It’s not mentioned here.
小題2:What’s the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph four?
A．worstB．snowstormC．cold weatherD．biggest
小題3:This passage mainly tells us _____ .
A．The snow in the south of China caused many problems.
B．The effect of the snow in the south of China on the fresh food
C．The snow in the south of China slowed the delivery of fresh produce to markets.
D．The Chinese government has taken extreme measures to help the suffered farmers.
小題4:The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) has sent 13 teams of experts to 8 of the areas to _____ .
A. help the farmers plant crops          B. give money to the farmers
C. give directions to the farmers with their technic（技術(shù)；技巧）.

A teddy bear from Cumbria is launching into space to raise cash for charity(慈善).
Terence, an experienced traveller who has been to Iraq, will be the guest of honour on aviation(航行) legend Burt Rutan’s Spaceship One when it flies above Earth. The mission takes off from California on September 29, and on his return the cuddly toy will be auctioned off(拍賣) in aid of the North Air Ambulance Appeal(北部空中救護服務(wù)中心).
Spaceship One is the world’s first private spacecraft, and is competing for a prestigious space travel prize. Chief executive of the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS), Graham Pickering, said “flying officer” Terence had been handed over to the RAF six months ago and staff had been receiving postcards from him ever since.
He said, “Terence was a fundraising idea that really took off. We have received pictures of him in a U2 craft, trying parachuting and even looking drunk and disorderly. When the RAF finally discharge him he will be a very rare bear indeed—we just hope he does not burn up on re-entry to Earth.”
GNAAS, which needs charitable donations of more than ￡2m a year, has three air ambulances(空中救護機).
Peter Bond, spokesman for the Royal Astronomical Society, said Terence’s safety was not guaranteed. He said, “This is a new and experimental craft and this will only be the second time it has flown. During its first voyage it developed technical problems but hopefully they have now been resolved.”
Since May, Terence has spent time with members of 100 Squadron(空軍中隊) based at RAF Leeming in Basra, Iraq, and at air shows with performing fighter planes.
Spaceship One will fly 100km (62 miles) above the Earth’s surface, just breaking through the planet’s atmosphere.
If it repeats the feat(技藝) inside two weeks, it will claim the $10m Ansari X-Prize set up to encourage the private space flight business.
小題1:Terence is ________.
A．a(chǎn) real bear living in EnglandB．a(chǎn)n experienced astronaut
C．a(chǎn)n air force officerD．a(chǎn) toy bear
小題2:We can infer that________.
A．a(chǎn)fter this space flight, Spaceship One will get the $10m Ansari X-Prize
B．it is dangerous for a spaceship to re-enter the earth atmosphere
C．Terence will be very safe on the flight
D．Spaceship One is just an ordinary plane
小題3:Which of the following is true of Spaceship One?
A．Spaceship One is the world’s first spacecraft.
B．The purpose of its flight is to collect money for the charity.
C．The purpose of its flight is to compete for a prestigious space travel prize.
D．Spaceship One has never flown.
小題4:Which of the following is the best title?
A．Teddy bear astronaut to lift off B．Spaceship One to lift off
C．Space flightD．The toy bear will be auctioned off

BRISBANE—Australian Olympic chief John Coates has said Greek athlete Katerina Thanou should not be awarded the Sydney Olympics 100 metres gold medal handed back by Marion Jones.
Jones, who this week admitted to steroid（類固醇）use in the build up to the Sydney Games, has returned the three gold medals and two bronzes she won in 2000.
But Thanou, the silver medalist in Sydney, was herself banned for two years after she failed to appear for a drug test at the 2004 Athens Olympics.
“I’d like to think that Katerina Thanou would not be awarded the gold medal,” Coates told the Australian Associated Press on Tuesday, “but there may be some legal difficulties for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to overcome in order to reach that conclusion.”
Jamaica’s Tayna Lawrence won the 100m bronze medal in Sydney behind Jones and Thanou.
Coates also said he expected the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) to hand back the medals won by the women's 4x100m and 4x400m relay teams.
Two of Jones’s team mates in the 4x100m team which finished third in Sydney, Torri Edwards and Chryste Gaines, have also served doping（興奮劑）bans.
The U.S. women’s 4x100m relay team won the gold medal ahead of Jamaica and Russia.
“On the relays, it’s my expectation that the United States Olympic Committee will be required to also hand back the medals won by the other ladies who competed with Jones in the two relays,” Coates said.
“That is normal practice.”
The United States Olympic Committee (USCO) has publicly apologized to the organizers and competitors of the 2000 Sydney Games and the Australian public for Jones’s actions.
As part of the USOC’s apology, president Peter Ueberroth promised that the U.S. would send a clean team to next year’s Beijing Olympics.
1. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Jones has returned the Sydney medals
B. Thanou should not receive Sydney gold
C. Steroid use at Sydney Olympics
D. The U.S would send a clean team to Beijing Olympics.
2. Thanou should not get the Sydney gold medal because________.
A. she didn’t pass the drug test.
B. she served doping ban at Sydney Olympics.
C. she didn’t take the drug test at Sydney Olympics.
D. she ran second at Sydney Olympics.
3. Which of the following statements is True?
A. Jones has got five gold medals at Sydney Olympics.
B. The USCO has returned medals in the two relays.
C. Thanou should receive Sydney gold medal.
D. Jones also took part in the women’s 4x100m relay race.
4. Why did Coates expect the USOC to hand back the medals won in the relay races?
A. Because the IOC required them to do so.
B. Because they didn’t take the first place in the relay races.
C. Because some of the runners of the U.S served doping bans.
D. Because they felt sorry for Jones’s actions.
5. What would probably happen next according to the passage?
A. Thanou would receive Sydney gold.
B. Jamaica’s Tayna Lawrence would receive Sydney gold.
C. Thanou wouldn’t be allowed to take part in the Beijing Olympics.
D. Fewer or no American athletes will serve doping drugs in Beijing Olympics.
