10.The sun is setting on a summer night.At the entrance of a deep,dark cave,a few bats  fly out.Within a few minutes,millions and millions of bats are pouring out of the cave.
    Sounds like a scary horror movie?Believe it or not,this scene takes place all summer   long,at Bracken Cave in Texas,where 20 million bats come out to feed on insects every  night."It is magical,"says Jim Kennedy of Bat Conservation International in Texas."It is   one of the most impressive animal movements on the planet."
    Every March or April,Mexican free-tailed bats migrate up to 1,600 kilometers from  their winter home in Mexico to their American home in Texas,where they raise their  young.Soon after they arrive,each mother gives birth to one baby.As many as 500,baby  bats crowd into 30 cubic centimeters of space.a(chǎn)nd all those bodies create nice warm tem-peratures to keep them cozy and comfortable.
    If you have ever lost sight of your parents in a crowded playground,you may be won-dering how mother bats recorgnize their children.They use their sense of smell to tell which  baby is theirs when it is time for the babies to have milk.   
    When twenty million bats fly out of one cave opening,they make a column so thick  that they show up on the radar at the nearby airport.It can take three hours for all of them  to get out from the cave."You can feel the breeze from their wings,and see the plats wa-ving,"says Kennedy."The movement of all those wings makes a very relaxing soft sound.I've always thought it would make a great relaxation music to help you go to sleep.So much  for bats being scary!"
56.The scene described in the first paragraph takes place inD.   
A.a(chǎn) movie    B.a(chǎn) cave    C.Mexico    D.the US

58B主旨大意題.文章第三四 段 主要描述幼小蝙蝠是如何喂養(yǎng)的,故選B.
59A猜測詞義題.根據(jù)文章最后一段When twenty million bats fly out of one cave opening,they make a column so thick  可知蝙蝠飛出洞穴會像風(fēng)聲一樣,故選A.

1.Back in the early 1990s,I knew little about computers.But what I did know was that something huge was happening.It was changing imaginations and possibilities like nothing I had ever known.And I knew I had dreams that hadn't come true.But I didn't know how to realize them until I met with my old friend,Rolly Rouse,when we happened to move into the same neighborhood.
Rolly often called me with a lot of ideas.We talked about the Internet and about starting a new online company together.

18.There's a small town in the central part of England called Gotham.Some say it's a town of fools.Others say all the villagers are wise.Let me tell you about the people of Gotham so you can decide for yourself.
Long ago,England was ruled by a cruel king named John.One day,the people of Gotham heard  that King  John  and  his men would  soon be  riding  through  their  town.This worried  the villagers,for  they knew  the greedy king would demand  food and accommodation  for his men.
What's more,if he saw anything to his liking,he would surely take it.
A town meeting was called.After much discussion,the townspeople decided to cut down a number  of  huge  trees  to  block  the  roads  leading  into Gotham.When King  John  and  his men reached the outskirts of the village,they could not pass.Angry,King John ordered his men to go into the town and punish the villagers.
When the king's officers finally made their way over the trees,they found a village of fools.
Some say that was because the people of Gotham had a plan-they had decided to act like fools since they had never heard of anyone being punished for being a noodlehead.Others say that's just the way they were.
In  the village,the king's men encountered a man riding a donkey.The man was bent over because he carried a huge bag of grain on his own shoulders.He looked exhausted.One of the king's men approached him and asked,"Why,in heaven's name,are you carrying that bag?Why don't you just put it behind you on your donkey's back?"
"You  see,"replied  the  man  from  Gotham,"my  donkey  is  feeling  poor  today.It's  bad enough that she has to carry me,so I decided to lighten her burden by carrying the bag myself."
The king's men said,"But sir,don't you see that if you're riding on top of the donkey,she's still carrying the weight of the bag?"
The man didn't reply.He just looked at  the king's men as if  they were crazy and went on his way.
The king's officers giggled at the foolishness of the man.Before long,they passed a pond where  they  found  a  number  of  villagers  in  the midst  of  a  great  argument.Two  of  them were holding a big eel."Quiet down,"commanded one of the king's men."What's the problem here?"
One  of  the  villagers  stepped  forward  and  said,"Last  year we  took  all  the  extra  fish we caught and put them in this pond so they would multiply.But this year when we came back,all we  caught was  this  one  huge  eel.Obviously  it  has  eaten  all  of  our  fish!Since  then,we  have argued long and hard over how to punish this bad eel.But we have finally agreed on the perfect punishment.We are just about to drown the eel in this very pond!"The king's officers couldn't 
believe  their  ears.Drown  an  eel whose  home  is  in  the water?These men were  sillier  than  the first man they met!
Before long,they reached the center of the village,where they were in for another surprise.
There they found the rest of the townspeople building a towering stone wall.When the soldiers inquired what was going on,one of the villagers replied,"Every spring a cuckoo comes to live in our village.It always brings warm weather.When  it leaves,the cold weather returns.Last year we decided  that  if we could get  the cuckoo  to stay here  all year,we would always have warm weather.We  built  this  stone wall,but  it  obviously wasn't  high  enough  because  the  bird  flew away.This year we're determined to build it so high that the cuckoo can't escape."
The king's officers had heard enough.They couldn't bring themselves to punish such stupid people.They returned to King John and told him all about the fools of Gotham.Whether it's fair or not,the people of Gotham have been known as fools ever since.
What do you think?Were the villagers of Gotham wise or foolish?
41.This story is most likeB.
A.a(chǎn) news article      B.a(chǎn) folktale
