　　As I grew older, my dad and I grew further apart．We always had totally different

　　A few months agoI heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health．When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him，I knew he was seriously ill．I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father’s requirement．

　　Two weeks after moving back，we bought a boat and started fishing again．Fishing was one of the few things that we did while l was young and that we both enjoyed．It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us．We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before．Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apart．

　　It is not important how many fish we catch．It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years．I’m 62 and he is 84．When we are on the lake fishing，it is like two kids enjoying life．It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind．I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years．Now my heart is filled with love．A smile always graces my lips．

　　Butterfly gardens can be grown throughout the United States.There is a wide variety of both butterfly­attracting (nectar) plants and host plants covering climate zones throughout the country.Butterfly gardens can range

　　in size from a few containers placed in a sunny spot to several acres.

　　Nectar­producing (产蜜的) plants will attract butterflies to your garden.In order to support a full butterfly life cycle，host plants (for laying eggs and used as a caterpillar food source) must also be present.

　　Throughout the country，the general requirements

　　for butterfly gardening are the same：full sun，nectar source plants，larval (幼虫的)

　　host plants，a pesticide­free environment，and knowledge of the local butterfly

　　species.Many butterfly­attracting plants are natives and require little attention，as they are naturally adapted to the region in which they live.

　　Butterfly gardens are best planted in spring with younger plants or in fall with mature plants that will become dormant quickly and re­emerge in

　　spring.It is best not to plant in the heat of summer or the cold of winter.

　　One of the most common mistakes in butterfly gardening is planting only one nectar source.Adult butterflies have a very short lifespan.Planting a variety of nectar sources will encourage more butterflies to visit the garden.Planting an adequate supply of host plants gives butterflies a place to lay their eggs，which will successfully hatch (孵化) and result in butterflies that will continue to visit the garden.

　　Butterflies typically lay their eggs in late spring and hatch 3－6 days after they are laid.It takes 3－4 weeks for a caterpillar to pupate (化蛹) and 9－14 days to emerge as an adult.

　　Good resources for learning more about butterfly gardening include zoos，botanical gardens，butterfly houses，garden centers and nurseries，libraries and the Internet.There are many good websites dedicated to butterflies and butterfly gardening.

　　5．Which of the following is true，according to the passage?

　　A．Butterfly gardens can be grown only in some parts of the US.

　　B．Butterfly gardens must be large in size.

　　C．Butterfly gardens should be in a sunny place.

　　D．Butterfly gardens need to plant butterfly­attracting plants only.

　　6．Native butterfly­attracting plants are better because________.

　　A．they smell better to butterflies

　　B．they can adapt to the local region

　　C．they can grow faster and taller

　　D．they can be planted in a container

　　7．Which seasons are suitable for planting butterfly gardens?

　　A．Spring and summer.

　　B．Summer and fall.

　　C．Summer and winter.

　　D．Spring and fall.

　　8．Which of the following is the correct order of a butterfly life cycle?

　　a．It is born as an egg.

　　b．It emerges as an adult.

　　c．A caterpillar hatches out.

　　d．A caterpillar pupates.

　　A．acdb

　　B．adcb

　　C．dacb

　　D．dcab

　　The idea of fighting a noise by making more noise sounds strange, but that's exactly what motor engineers are doing in Germany and some other countries.

　　Carmakers' research and development laboratories have already proved that mixing in more noise with the help of loudspeakers can reduce the unwanted noise.

　　Physicists have known about the technique for a long time. Sound is made up of pressure waves in the air. If two sound waves of the same frequency (频率) mix so that the highest point of one wave happens at the same time with the lowest point of the other wave, the result is no sound. Therefore, by producing a perfect copy of the noise and delaying it by half a wave cycle(周期), we can kill the unwanted noise. Using this technique many carmakers are racing to develop noise-killing systems both inside and outside the cars.

　　Another good thing about the use of noise-killing systems is that it saves the need for a silencer, which not only reduces the weight of a car, but also makes the motor burn less oil and work better.

　　Some engineers believe that the noise-killing system will be used in most cars in l996. But the carmakers haven't decided if they will put it into production because it would add several hundred dollars to the cost of their cars.

　　1. Which of the following gives a general idea of how the noise-killing system works?

　　A.By producing pressure waves going in the opposite direction.

　　B.By mising high frequency sound waves with low frequency sound waves.

　　C.By making copies of the unwanted sound waves and letting them out a little later.

　　D.By mixing new sound waves with the noise and sending them out together.

　　2. Besides its main function (功能) the noise-killing system can______.

　　A.make a car lighter

　　B.make a car quieter

　　C.reduce the cost of a silencer

　　D.improve the performance of a silencer

　　3. The noise-killing system is not yet popular mainly because______.

　　A.it increases the cost of car production

　　B.carmakers are no sure if it is necessary

　　C.it is still being tried out

　　D.people still have their doubts

　　【答案解析】

　　2.【分析】同上，这也是一道细节题。在第四自然段中有：… which not only reduces the weigut of a car，but also makes the motor burn less oil and work better一句便能得出A为最佳答案。

　　3.【分析】本题仍属于细节题。文章最后一句提示A为最佳答案。

　　E（2017福建卷）

　　A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth. Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.

　　Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said; "We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.

　　"We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.

　　"At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. " Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).

　　The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. " Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop, it was amazing," he said, " We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon. "

　　The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.

　　Kieran said: " It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August. "

　　The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury. For details visit www.younginspirations.com.

　　71. The Young Inspirations mentoring program aims to _____.

　　A. train staff for world-famous firms B. offer job opportunities to young adults

　　C. provide youth with unique experiences D. equip the unemployed with different skills

　　72. According to Alex Goldberg, it is difficult for schools to offer the mentoring due to _____.

　　A. the lack of support from firms B. the cultural differences

　　73. According to the passage, the forum focused on how youth can ____.

　　A. build up their confidence at school B. find work experience opportunities

　　C. improve their social skills for the future D. play an active role in the change of society

　　74. We can learn from the passage that _____.

　　A. the visit to the United Kingdom was amazing

　　B. Kieran has made great progress in many aspects

　　C. the youth have found a way to solve their problems

　　D. the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday

　　【答案解析】E

　　Do you always understand the directions on a bottle of medicine? Do you know what is meant by "Take only as directed"? Read the following directions and see if you understand them.

　　"To reduce pain, take two tablets(药片)with water,followed by one tablet every eight hours, as required. For night time and early morning relief(缓解疼痛)take two tablets at bedtime. Do not take more than six tablets in twenty-four hours.

　　For childen six to twelve years old, give half the amount(量). For children under six years old, ask your doctor's advice.

　　Reduce the amount if you suffer from restlessness or sleeplessness after taking the medicine.

　　1. How many tablets at most can a person over 12 have in 24 hours?

　　A. Three.

　　B. Four.

　　C. Six.

　　D. Eight.

　　2. How many tablets should a nine-year-old child normally take in 24 hours?

　　5. This text is most probably taken from a______.

　　A. textbook

　　B. newsreel

　　C. doctor's notebook

　　D. bottle of medicine

　　【答案解析】

　　1.【分析】这是一道细节题。从文中For children six to twelve yours old，give half the amount.可以看出6～12岁的孩子服药应该减半，那么题干中over 12就该用成人量，并且从第二段的最后一句Do not take more than six tablets in twenty－four hours.可以推断出C为正确答案。

　　2.【分析】这是一道计算题。C为本题的最佳答案。注意题干中normally与文中as required同义，成人首量为 2片，随后8小时服一片，即正常情况成人服4片，而小孩自然是2片了，至于为缓解疼痛成人所服的2片，并非属于正常之内。此题通过率为48％，区分度为O.496。

　　3.【分析】这是一道细节题。正确答案为D。文中的信息句是：Reduce the amount if you suffer from restlessness or sleep lessness。

　　4.【分析】这是一道判断题。从说明书上的For children under six years old，ask your doctor's advice.一句话中可以领悟出其言外之意。这种药对六岁以下儿童很危险。况且成人服药量24小时都不得超6片，足以可以判断B为该题的最佳答案。此题难度适宜，通过率为5l％。

　　5.【分析】这是一道综合判断题。考生须将药品说明书和文章开头的自然段联系在一起才能得出正确答案。从考卷分析结果看，当年相当部分考生忽视文章的开头一段，而误选D为答案。所以A为本题答案。
