Question

【題目】Butterflies(蝴蝶) are some of the most fascinating (迷人的) and beautiful insects in the world. Adult butterflies will live about two to four weeks. They use their senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell and taste to survive in the world, find food and mates, lay eggs in a proper place, migrate (遷移) and avoid hungry enemies.

Butterflies have large compound eyes (復(fù)眼), which allow them to see in all directions without turning their heads. Like most insects, butterflies are very near-sighted, so they are more attracted to many flowers. Butterflies do not “see” colors such as red, green and yellow, but they can sense sunlight, which shows the direction in which the sun is shining, as well as ultraviolet light (紫外線), which is present on many flowers and guides butterflies to find honey sources.

Butterflies have a very well-developed sense of smell, but it is not in their nose, since they don’t have one. Sense receptors (感受器) are in their antennae (觸角), feet and many other parts of the body. They can help butterflies find their favorite flower honey, food and mates.

Butterflies’ feet have sense organs that can taste the sugar in flower honey, letting the butterflies know if something is good to eat or not. Some females also carefully choose host plants by tasting to find proper places to lay their eggs. Adult butterflies feed their babies using a long tube. Butterflies force blood into the tube to straighten it out, allowing them to feed. Butterflies get all their food from this tube.

Butterflies don’t have ears. Instead they “hear” sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations (振動).

Butterflies may possess senses we haven’t known about till today, because their body structure (結(jié)構(gòu)) is very different and difficult to understand, when observed through our own human senses. （325 words）

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】D

【4】A

【5】D

【解析】本文是一篇說明文，主要寫了美麗的生物——蝴蝶的特殊的生理結(jié)構(gòu)。蝴蝶的生理結(jié)構(gòu)十分難理解，僅僅通過人的感知能力來了解還遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠。

【1】考察分析歸納題。第二段第一句為中心句，Butterflies have large compound eyes (復(fù)眼), which allow them to see in all directions without turning their heads. 蝴蝶擁有很大的復(fù)眼，這使得它們可以不用轉(zhuǎn)頭就能看到各個方向的事物，故選B

【2】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段Butterflies don’t have ears. Instead they “hear” sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations (振動).蝴蝶沒有耳朵，取代她們的耳朵，聲音是根據(jù)震動的變化通過它們的翅膀傳達(dá)的。故選C

【3】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第三句Some females also carefully choose host plants by tasting to find proper places to lay their eggs.一些雌性蝴蝶也非常關(guān)注找到好的寄宿植物，通過品嘗來找到適合的地方產(chǎn)卵。故選D

【4】分析歸納題。最后一段寫蝴蝶有我們至今還不知道的感知能力，因為他們的身體結(jié)構(gòu)我們難以理解。故選A

【5】分析推斷題。本文是一篇說明文，作者描寫蝴蝶的生理結(jié)構(gòu)和生活習(xí)性，重點放在描寫蝴蝶的感知能力。故選D
