Volunteers were asked to make a record. They would record how many times they found one of 21 different kinds of butterflies.Later, the scientists used the records to find out how many butterflies of different kinds were found across the country. Then, they compared the results to the year before. They found that there was a rise in the number of 15 kinds of butterflies, and some of them went up by 50% compared to recent years. They said the increase in butterfly numbers was a result of warm weather.However, scientists also said that the number of butterflies was in decline(下降) as a whole, and that we might not see_the next year.Richard Fox, who works for Butterfly Conservation, said, “UK butterflies are in long-term decline. Studies have been done since the 1970s. They show that UK butterflies have declined in type and number.”He added, “We musthaltthe long-term decline of these beautiful creatures(生物). The only way is by stopping the damage that has been done to the butterflies habitats(栖息地) across the UK.”26 . The volunteers were asked to _.Astudy 830,000 butterfliesBhelp scientists take notesCrecord the number of each kind of butterflyDfind how many kinds of butterflies there are27 . What can we learn from the study?AThere were 20 kinds of UK butterflies.B50% more UK butterflies were found in 2013.CThe number of 15 kinds of UK butterflies increased.DThere was a long-term increase in UK butterfly number.28 .

The underlined word “halt” in the last paragraph means “_”.AstopBstudyCmakeDplan30 . What would be the best headline of the passage?ADifferent kinds of butterflies in the UK.BBig Butterfly Count in the UK in 2013.CUK Scientists made butterfly numbers increase.DWarm weather made UK butterfly numbers increase.“The world has never been a better place to live in” says science writer Matt Ridley, “and it will keep on getting better.” Read on to see how Ridley makes his case. Right or wrong? You decide.Compared with 50 years ago, when I was just four years old, people now make nearly three times as much money, eat one third more food and expect to live one third longer. In fact, its hard to find any areas of the world thats worse off now than it was then, even though the world population has more than doubled over that period.One reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needsfood, clothing, fuel and shelterhave grown much cheaper. Take one example: In 1800, a candle providing one hours light cost six hours work. In the 1880s, the same light from a lamp took 15 minutes work to pay for. In 1950, it was eight seconds. Today, its half a second. In these terms, we are 43,200 times better off than in1800.In the United States, rivers, lakes, seas and air are getting cleaner all the time. A car today produces less pollution traveling at full speed than a parked car did from leaks (泄漏) in 1970.Although the world population is growing, the rate (率) of increase has been falling for 50 years. Across the world, national birth rates are lower now than in 1960, and in the less developed world, the birth rate has almost halved. According to a research report from the United Nations, population will start falling once it reaches 9.2 billion in 2075. After all, there are already seven billion people on earth, and they are eating better and better.In 1970s, there were 550 billion barrels (桶) of oil reserves (储存) in the world, and in the 20 years that followed the world used up 600 billion. So by 1990, reserves should have been overused by 50 billion barrels. Instead, it is reported there are 900 billion today. They will last for many years and people will find something in place of oil long before they run out.The more we develop, the more we can develop. The more we invent, the more inventions become possible. For 200 years, pessimists (people who believe that terrible things will happen in future) have had all the headlineseven thoughoptimistshave far more often been right. There are some reasons for pessimists. No charity (慈善机构) ever raised money by saying things are getting better. No journalist ever got the front page writing a story about how terrible things wont happen. Dont be a pessimistdare to be an optimist!31 . Today, providing one hours light costs _.A6 hours workB15 minutes workC8 seconds workD0.5 seconds work32 . Which of the following is true, according to the passage?AThings we used to need were much cheaper than they are today.BThe pollution today is much more serious than it was long ago.CPopulation problem has nearly made the world stop developing.DIts not necessary to be worried about oil reserves in the world.33 . What does the word “optimists” in the last paragraph mean?APeople who are brave enough to face anything terrible.BPeople who can always tell good things from bad ones.CPeople who have hopeful and happy feelings about life.DPeople who dont easily believe what theyre told about.34 . Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?ANever Give UpBCheer UpCDont Be SadDThink OutThe Worlds Longest RiversRiverLengthLocationNile4,132 miles (6,650 km)AfricaAmazon4,000 miles (6,400 km)South AmericaChang Jiang(Yangtze) 3,915 miles (6,300 km)ChinaMississippi-Missouri-Red Rock3,902 miles (6,275 km)United StatesOb3,364 miles (5,410 km)RussiaFast Facts The Nile River passes through 9 countries: Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo,Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda.
