12.For many Americans,monarch butterflies(黑脈金斑蝶) are a sign of changing seasons. In the late summer and early autumn,the butterflies fly south,from Canada and the United States' mainland to Mexico. But Darlene Burgess still keeps seeing the bright,colorful insects-and she lives in Canada. Burgess keeps a count of monarch butterflies at Point Pelee National Park in Ontario(安大略). "As nice as this (the large numbers of monarch butterflies) is to see,I really wish I wouldn't see it because they're running out of time," she said. "It's really not good for them." Monarch butterflies are not just staying in Canada.Groups of them have been seen north of the Mexican border,such as the American state of New Jersey.Their large numbers are not normal for late October. Monarch butterflies normally arrive in Mexico around November 1st.The number of "stragglers" in Canada and the US is "definitely new territory for us," said Chip Taylor,a biology professor at the University of Kansas.He is also the director of Monarch Watch,an organization that studies the butterflies. There are a few reasons why the monarch butterflies did not fly south when they should.Some monarch butterflies were born late.Some did not move south because of warm weather.Others could not fly south because of windy weather that lasted for weeks. Now,they may be stuck because temperatures are starting to fall.Elizabeth Howard is a biologist and director of a group called Journey North.She said monarch butterflies' muscles(肌肉) do not work well when temperatures go below 15 degrees Celsius.If the butterflies do not freeze,they are likely to starve(挨餓) to death because many of the plants they eat are gone for the season,Howard noted. In fact,monarch butterflies have faced a number of problems in recent years. "Losing home,climate change,pollution,and a decreasing food supply are making the number of the butterflies fall," said Lincoln Brower,a biology professor at Sweet Briar College.Lincoln Brower has been studying the butterflies since 1954. "They need legal(法律的) protection-not just 'on the book',but in practice," he added. (1)When did the writer finish this passage?

15.Travelling is not always happy,at least for the buddies in the movie Green Book.The popular film won Best Picture at the 91st Academy Awards on Feb.25. The movie was adapted from the true story of a road trip through the southern US in the early 1960s.In the film,the black pianist Don Shirley hires Italian-American Tony Vallelonga to drive him to performances,but they face problems because of Shirley's skin colour.These problems lead them to form a special friendship. "There's something so deeply right about this movie,so true to the time," wrote US film critic Mick LaSalle.The time LaSalle is talking about was between late1870s and 1960s,a very different period in US history.Many parts of the country had Jim Crow Laws(《吉姆?克勞法》) ,which allowed racial segregation (種族隔離).These laws made life and travel dangerous for African-Americans.They couldn't use certain hotels,restaurants,or even gas stations.They had to be indoors after sunset or they might be put into prison.Even black celebrities (名人) had to follow the laws. But in 1936,a black mail carrier named Victor H.Green had an idea.He made a list of friendly businesses in New York City.He published the list as a small book with a green cover.The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely.Then,in 1964,Jim Crow Laws went away.The book went away,too. Today many US people still remember the time of Jim Crow.But they probably don't know about the Green Book.It's a forgotten part of the story.Thanks to this movie,maybe people can remember it again.
(1)What was Don Shirley in the film?
A.A driver. B.A writer. C.A black pianist. D.A blackmail carrier. (2)How was the life and travel for African-Americans in 1900s?
A.Easy. B.Dangerous. C.Pleasant. D.Safe. (3)What can we know from Paragraph 4?
A.The book is still in use now. B.The list was sold in New York City. C.A black businessman made the list. D.Victor H.Green came up with the idea. (4)What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?
A.The Green Book. B.Jim Crow Laws. C.Racial segregation. D.The period between 1870s and 1960s. (5)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Jim Crow Laws disappeared in 1936. B.Black celebrities didn't need to follow the Jim Crow Laws. C.The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely. D.They met problems during their trip because of Shirley's bad behaviour.
B:She didn't eat anything.She only drank some milk.I tasted the milk just now and it was bad. A: (3)
B:What should I do? A:(4)
B:But my parents aren't at home now.Can you help me? A:(5)
Let's go now! B:Thank you very much.
A.Of course. B.Don't worry. C.What did she eat? D.What's the matter? E.That may be the reason. F.You should take her to the hospital. G.You should ask the teacher for help.
32.Almost every day,we discuss the topic of health.But what is health? "Health" means eating well,getting enough exercise and having a healthy lifestyle.Here are some useful rules. ★ Eat different kinds of food,especially fruit and vegetables.We all know that eating fruit and vegetables keeps us healthy,but many of us only eat our favorite food.Remember that we can only get what our body needs by eating all sorts (種類) of food. ★ Drink water and milk most often.Everyone knows that water is important.Besides water,kids also need plenty of calcium (鈣) to grow strong bones (骨頭),which is rich in milk.Every day,you should drink at least three cups of milk when you are 9 years old or older.You'd better try to have drinks with little sugar (糖). ★ Pay attention to your body.When you are eating,notice how your body feels.When your stomach is full,stop jye.ai.Eating too much makes you become fat and unhealthy. ★ Limit (限制) the amount (數(shù)量) of time you spend watching TV and playing computer games.Try to spend more time doing sports,like running,swimming and so on.
