In a mountainous area of Brazil, there is a kind of beautiful butterfly which can kill men. If people meet them, they will come down in great quantities to bite and kill, sucking blood and flesh through the wounds they cause.

In June, 1966, a boy named Marl Andre who went into the mountains in search of butterfly specimens (標(biāo)本) was killed by these butterflies. A country boy saw him when he was just about to catch a butterfly. Suddenly thousands of butterflies came down upon him, covering him all over. The boy struggled and cried as he tried to free himself from their attack. Finally he fell senseless to the ground. Police examined his body and proved that he had died of bites by butterflies.

In New Guinea, there is a kind of needlefish which also kills men. Needlefish likes light. At night, it will swim near the lights of fishing boats, then suddenly shoot out of water like an arrow to its target, and force its 3-inch sharp mouth into a human body. Of-ten people are thrust in the eye, or through the chest or stomach, resulting in death. Sometimes it will even attack the people in a fishing boat in broad daylight.

About 10 persons in the world are killed by sharks every year, yet more than 240 people are killed by needlefish every year.

1.From the passage, we know that ______.

A.butterflies are living in the mountains

B.a(chǎn)ll butterflies like sucking blood and eating fish

Last week my parents and I took a two-days trip to Mount Emei in Sichuan. As everyone knows, it’s famous mountain with all kinds of plants and animals. The weather was fine. It was almost noon we arrived at the foot of the mountain. The three of them were very excited. As we climbed the mountain, we fed monkeys, visiting temples and told stories. On the way up I was busy taking picture since the scenery was so beautiful. Time passes quickly. Evening came down. We spent the night in a hotel at the top of the mountain. The food was expensive and the service was good. I was so tired that I fell asleep at the moment my head touched the pillow.

科目:高中英語 來源:2012-2013學(xué)年北京市豐臺區(qū)高三下學(xué)期統(tǒng)一練習(xí)英語卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

Crowd controls could soon become an important skill for climbers on Mount Everest, as important as physical strength or watching the weather. In a single day last week, nearly 40 people reached the top of the world --- a record. Reports from base camp spoke of queues at dangerous ridges and crowds as people passed each other in the final dash for the 8, 848 meters top.

More traditional mountaineers tease about the circus atmosphere surrounding Everest in re­cent years, and there are warnings that the crowds are making the mountain more dangerous. In 1996, 14 died on the mountain when the members of several groups were trapped at high altitudes by sudden snowstorms. Bad weather in early May led to this year’s jam on the summit ridge, but the loss, luckily, was light. Just four climbers died, in­cluding a Nepali Sherpa who had made 11 previous successful climbing.

Traditionalists are also worried about the growing tendency of climbers to set records and achieve “firsts”, rather than simply climb the mountain. This year’s crop of mountaineers included the oldest man, 64-year-old Sherman Bull from Connecticut, and the youngest, 16-year-old Temba Tsheri Sherpa of Nepal. An American with only one arm was on the mountain this year; an Indian with no legs also tried but failed. Erik Weihennieyer, an Ameri­can, became the first blind person to reach the top of the world. His fellow climbers stayed in front of him on the way up, describing the type of land and ringing bells.

Nepal(尼泊爾)views Mount Everest as something of a cash cow. The government charges journeys a minimum of $ 70,000. That is probably why officials in Katmandu are ignoring concerns about overcrowding and talking about even more climbers coming next year. But a celebration of the 48th anniversary of the first conquest of Everest, by Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, was cancelled after violent strikes. Tumultuous(動亂的)Nepali politics, it seems, could be just the crowd-control mea­sure that Everest needs.

1.What is the problem that the climbers have to face in recent years?

A.Bad Weather.      B.Technology.        C.Overcrowding.     D.Physical strength.

2.What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

A.The risks of mountain climbing.

B.The consequence of overcrowding.

C.The challenge that climbers have to face.

D.The damage that snowstorms have caused.

3.Several climbers are mentioned in Paragraph 3 to show ______.

A.their great courage                      B.their common motivation

C.their different identity                   D.their outstanding achievements

4.What is the attitude of the Nepali government towards overcrowding?

A.Unconcerned.      B.Doubtful.          C.Disapproving.      D.Worried.
