　　Ⅱ.阅读理解insects？A businessman named Milton Levine did. He created the Uncle Milton Ant Farm more than half a century ago. Today, grandchildren of the first ant colony owners are watching ants working hard on the farm.Milton Levine was not trained in the study of insects, also known as entomology. But he knew a lot about ants, and he designed an appealing way to share his knowledge.

　　Mr Levine began his career as a maker of unusual toys after World War Ⅱ. He had returned to his birthplace in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania，after serving in the United States military.He got the idea for his future career from a business newsletter, which suggested that the best chances for jobs at the time were in toys. He decided to make toys. They understood that American society was about to change. The huge population increase known as the Baby Boom was beginning. There would be a huge demand for children's toys.

　　One day, he saw ants parading around a swimming pool.The sight made Mr Levine remember how much he had liked watching ants as a boy on his uncle's farm. Those thoughts gave him the idea for the Uncle Milton Ant Farm.

　　Milton Levine developed a narrow, green plastic container. The top looked like a farm, showing a farmhouse, a barn, a bridge and a windmill(风车)．Under those images was a divider that separated the ants' underground and above­ground areas.Under that was the sand where people could watch the ants digging passageways.

　　The first Uncle Milton Ant Farms were an immediate success.They were sold in 1956.Two years later，two million of the educational toys had been sold.Mr Levine saw the sale of more than twenty million of his ant colonies.

　　The Uncle Milton Ant Farm tells far more than how to care for the ants. For example, people receiving an Uncle Milton Ant Farm learn that the little insects are strong. Some can carry loads fifty times heavier than they are. A writer remembers owning an Uncle Milton Ant Farm when he was about five years old.He says he became very good at numbers by counting the ants.

　　16．Which of the following words can best describe Milton Levine?

　　A．Strong.

　　B．Creative.

　　C．Loyal.

　　D．Humorous.

　　17．________ may be studied in the science of entomology.

　　A．Roses

　　B．Butterflies

　　C．Tigers

　　D．Sharks

　　18．Milton Levine got his idea from the following EXCEPT ________．

　　A．a business newsletter

　　B．the Baby Boom

　　C．ants parading

　　D．a farmhouse

　　19．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

　　A．How to care for the ants.

　　B．Ants are strong and diligent.

　　C．The Uncle Milton Ant Farm is more than a toy.

　　D．The Uncle Milton Ant Farm is very popular.

　　B[2016·杭州萧山区五校高三期中联考] ntries is the fact that, with a few important exceptions, mother­tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states.” said Neville Alexander, Director of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa at the University of Cape Town.

　　In response to the spread of English and the increased multi璴anguage trends arising from immigration, nmany countries have introduced language laws in the last decade. In some, the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising posters. One of the first such legal provisions was the 1994 “Toubon law” in France, and the idea has been copied in many countries since then. Such efforts to govern language use are often considered as futile by language experts, who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process.

　　It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the “purity” of a language by law. Since the time of Shakespeare, English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language. English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world, but that has not been a barrier to acquiring superiority and power. Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of the state regulation is that it has never been the Anglo­Saxon way of doing things. English has never had a state­controlled authority for the language, similar, for example, to the Academic Francaise in France.

　　The need to protect national languages is, for most western Europeans, a recent phenomenon—especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields. Public communication, education and new ways of communication promoted by technology, may be key fields to defend.

　　20．Neville Alexander believes that ________.

　　A．mother­tongue education is not practiced in all African countries

　　B．globalization has resulted in the economic failure of Africa

　　C．globalization has led to the rise of multi­language trend

　　D．lack of mother­tongue education can lead to economic failure

　　21．The underlined word “futile” (in Paragraph 2) most probably means “________”.

　　A．workable

　　B．practical

　　C．useless

　　D．unnecessary

　　22．Why do many English­speaking countries not support the language protection efforts described in the passage?

　　A．They have a long history of taking words from other languages.

　　B．They want their language to spread to other countries.

　　C．They think language protection laws are ineffective.

　　D．It reduces a language's ability to acquire international importance.

　　23．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

　　A．English has taken over fields like public communication and education.

　　B．Many aspects of national culture are threatened by the spread of English.

　　C．Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language.

　　D．Europeans have long realized the need to protect a national language.

　　24．The best title for the passage is “________”.

　　A．Fighting against the rule of English

　　B．Protecting local languages and identities

　　C．Globalization and multi­language trend

　　D．To maintain the purity of language by law
