The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Darwin, was born on February 12, 1809. His family lived not far from the River Severn, England.
Darwin's father was a well-known doctor and the son of a still greater doctor and scientist. Darwin's father hoped that his son would also become a doctor.
As a boy, Darwin liked to go for walks in the fields and forests. He watched nature, and compared what he saw with everything he had read in science books. He also liked collecting very much. He collected many things, birds, eggs, stones and leaves. His father did not like that, and Darwin was not studying very well at school.
At the age of sixteen, Darwin was sent to Edinburgh University to study in order that he could become a doctor. But he was interested in the history of nature.
Then he was sent to study in Cambridge University. There he studied until 1831.
Some time later he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and needed a scientist. His professor advised him to go. He said the trip would be just for Darwin. So when the ship left England in December 1831, Darwin was on it. His research lasted almost five years. The Beagle studied the waters in the sea near South America. It also visited New Zealand, Australia and islands in the Pacific. Darwin saw many new plants and animals. He collected all kinds of plants.
In 1842 Darwin went to live in Kent, where he continued his studies of changes in nature. Darwin understood that plants and animals are not always the same, and that they really change.
By 1859 Darwin had finished his famous book "The Origin of Species"（《物种起源》）. It made a great hit in the world of science. He was opposed by the church and even by some scientists. But later, more and more scientists agreed with him.
5. Charles Darwin had so many hobbies except that ______.
A. he liked to go for walks in the forests
B. he liked watching nature

8. What can we learn from Charles Darwin
A. Don't care what parents say to us.
B. The trip can bring us wealth.
C. We should ask teachers for help when meeting problems.
D. Keep doing what we like and work hard, we'll succeed.
【答案】CACD

C
Have you ever seen chipmunks (花栗鼠) They look very much like squirrels (松鼠), but they spend much of their time on the ground. People name this animal chipmunk because they make the special chip-chip sound. There are as many as 25 kinds of chipmunks, and most live in North America. A wild chipmunk can live for 2 to 5 years.
Chipmunks are very small, and they enjoy living alone. When they are two months old, they leave their mothers to live by themselves. They build their own homes and start collecting food there all by themselves. They do not like living or making friends with other chipmunks much.
Unlike other hibernating (冬眠的) animals, chipmunks do not live on body fats during winters. They collect and keep food during summers and eat it during winters. In winter, they don’t sleep all the way through the winter. They are light sleepers and wake up every few days to eat food.
Chipmunks may not be as popular as pet dogs or pet cats, but they can be good ones. They can feed on many things from vegetables and fruits to nuts (坚果) and bird eggs. They sleep at night, so you don’t have to look after them during night time. But you have to remember one thing—chipmunks have trust problems, so it takes time for them to become close to you.
9. What can we learn about the chipmunks from the first paragraph
A. Some of their relatives. B. Their living place.
C. How they live in the wild. D. Their number in the wild.
10. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about
A. Where chipmunks keep their food. B. How chipmunks go through winter.
C. What chipmunks eat during winters. D. Why chipmunks are special animals.
11. If you want to have a pet chipmunk, you have to _______.
A. buy it lots of food B. look after it at night
C. give it time to trust you D. keep it away from your dog
12. Where can we read the text
A. In a student’s diary. B. In a movie advertisement.
C. In a noticeboard at school. D. In an encyclopaedia of animals.
【答案】9. B 10. B 11. C 12. D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了花栗鼠的生活习性。
9. 细节理解题。根据第一段“most live in North America”可知，花栗鼠大部分生活在北美，这是生存地点。故选B。
10. 主旨大意题。根据第三段可知，花栗鼠在冬天不以体内脂肪为生；它们在夏天收集和保存食物，在冬天吃；在冬天，他们整个冬天都睡不着，他们睡得很浅，每隔几天就会醒来吃点东西。由此可知，该段介绍了花栗鼠是如何过冬的。故选B。
11. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“But you have to remember one thing—chipmunks have trust problems, so it takes time for them to become close to you.”可知，花栗鼠有信任问题，它们需要时间才能与人亲近，即给花栗鼠时间来信任你。故选C。
12. 推理判断题。通过文章可知，本文主要介绍了花栗鼠的生活习性。由此推知可能出现在在动物百科全书中。故选D。
D
So far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species（物种）, but that is just a small number of what probably lives on Earth. With so many plants, animals, and other living things on the planet, it can be difficult to find out what kind of grass is growing by the roadside or what kind of birds just flew by.
A soon-to-be-started website might help. Some scientists set up a web-based Encyclopaedia of Life (EOL). It wants to name every species on Earth and be a good guide for people. To get the encyclopaedia started, the scientists will use information in the scientific databases（数据库）. And finally, non-scientists with specialized（专业的）knowledge will come to help in the site. Bird-watchers, for example, will be able to input what birds they see and where they live. To make sure the encyclopaedia is right, scientists will check much of the information added to it.
As the EOL develops, you might find it is useful for schools. The site will make some special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems（生态系统）in their neighborhoods. And the EOL is also helpful for you to choose whatever information you like.
It takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to analyze species now. The scientists of the Encyclopaedia of Life hope the EOL will speed up that process.
13. What does the web-based EOL aim to do
A. To save all the plants. B. To work out the number of birds.
C. To find out what covers the Earth. D. To name all the living things on Earth.
14. What is one of the characteristics（特点）of the EOL
A. It is set up by school students.
B. It has been open to the public.
C. It is about different types of grass and birds.
D. It produces different kinds of information about species.
15. What does the underlined part “that process” refer to
A. Collecting data. B. Studying ecosystems.
C. Creating a new way. D. Describing and analyzing species.
16. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. There are 1.8 million living species on earth.
B. There are no non-scientists helping in the site.
C. EOL is not useful for you to choose information.
D. As the EOL develops, students might find it’s useful for them.
【答案】13. D 14. D 15. A 16. D
【解析】本文讲了一些科学家建立了基于网络的生命百科全书，详细地介绍了它的目的和一些信息。
13. 细节理解题。根据“It wants to name every species on Earth and be a good guide for people.”可知EOL的目的是为地球上所有的生物命名。故选D。
14. 推理判断题。根据“So far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species, but that is just a small number of what probably lives on Earth. With so many plants, animals, and other living things on the planet, it can be difficult to find out what kind of grass is growing by the roadside or what kind of birds just flew by.”可知地球上有如此多的植物、动物和其他生物，很难知道路边长着什么样的草，或者刚刚飞过的是什么样的鸟，EOL可能会有所帮助，由此推出EOL提供了不同种类的物种信息。故选D。
15. 词义猜测题。根据“It takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to analyze species now. The scientists of the Encyclopaedia of Life hope that EOL will speed up that process.”可知现在，科学家需要数年时间来收集分析物种所需的所有数据。生命百科全书的科学家们希望EOL能加快收集数据这一进程。可推出that process指代“收集数据”。故选A。
16. 细节理解题。根据“As the EOL develops, you might find it is useful for schools.”可知随着EOL的发展，学生可能会发现它对他们很有用，D项正确。故选D。

The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Darwin, was born on February 12, 1809. His family lived not far from the River Severn, England.
Darwin's father was a well-known doctor and the son of a still greater doctor and scientist. Darwin's father hoped that his son would also become a doctor.
As a boy, Darwin liked to go for walks in the fields and forests. He watched nature, and compared what he saw with everything he had read in science books. He also liked collecting very much. He collected many things, birds, eggs, stones and leaves. His father did not like that, and Darwin was not studying very well at school.
At the age of sixteen, Darwin was sent to Edinburgh University to study in order that he could become a doctor. But he was interested in the history of nature.
Then he was sent to study in Cambridge University. There he studied until 1831.
Some time later he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and needed a scientist. His professor advised him to go. He said the trip would be just for Darwin. So when the ship left England in December 1831, Darwin was on it. His research lasted almost five years. The Beagle studied the waters in the sea near South America. It also visited New Zealand, Australia and islands in the Pacific. Darwin saw many new plants and animals. He collected all kinds of plants.
In 1842 Darwin went to live in Kent, where he continued his studies of changes in nature. Darwin understood that plants and animals are not always the same, and that they really change.
By 1859 Darwin had finished his famous book "The Origin of Species"（《物种起源》）. It made a great hit in the world of science. He was opposed by the church and even by some scientists. But later, more and more scientists agreed with him.

Have you ever seen chipmunks (花栗鼠) They look very much like squirrels (松鼠), but they spend much of their time on the ground. People name this animal chipmunk because they make the special chip-chip sound. There are as many as 25 kinds of chipmunks, and most live in North America. A wild chipmunk can live for 2 to 5 years.
Chipmunks are very small, and they enjoy living alone. When they are two months old, they leave their mothers to live by themselves. They build their own homes and start collecting food there all by themselves. They do not like living or making friends with other chipmunks much.
Unlike other hibernating (冬眠的) animals, chipmunks do not live on body fats during winters. They collect and keep food during summers and eat it during winters. In winter, they don’t sleep all the way through the winter. They are light sleepers and wake up every few days to eat food.
Chipmunks may not be as popular as pet dogs or pet cats, but they can be good ones. They can feed on many things from vegetables and fruits to nuts (坚果) and bird eggs. They sleep at night, so you don’t have to look after them during night time. But you have to remember one thing—chipmunks have trust problems, so it takes time for them to become close to you.
9. What can we learn about the chipmunks from the first paragraph
A. Some of their relatives. B. Their living place.
C. How they live in the wild. D. Their number in the wild.
10. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about
A. Where chipmunks keep their food. B. How chipmunks go through winter.
C. What chipmunks eat during winters. D. Why chipmunks are special animals.
11. If you want to have a pet chipmunk, you have to _______.
A. buy it lots of food B. look after it at night
C. give it time to trust you D. keep it away from your dog
12. Where can we read the text
A. In a student’s diary. B. In a movie advertisement.
C. In a noticeboard at school. D. In an encyclopaedia of animals.
D
So far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species（物种）, but that is just a small number of what probably lives on Earth. With so many plants, animals, and other living things on the planet, it can be difficult to find out what kind of grass is growing by the roadside or what kind of birds just flew by.
A soon-to-be-started website might help. Some scientists set up a web-based Encyclopaedia of Life (EOL). It wants to name every species on Earth and be a good guide for people. To get the encyclopaedia started, the scientists will use information in the scientific databases（数据库）. And finally, non-scientists with specialized（专业的）knowledge will come to help in the site. Bird-watchers, for example, will be able to input what birds they see and where they live. To make sure the encyclopaedia is right, scientists will check much of the information added to it.
As the EOL develops, you might find it is useful for schools. The site will make some special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems（生态系统）in their neighborhoods. And the EOL is also helpful for you to choose whatever information you like.
It takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to analyze species now. The scientists of the Encyclopaedia of Life hope the EOL will speed up that process.
13. What does the web-based EOL aim to do
A. To save all the plants. B. To work out the number of birds.
C. To find out what covers the Earth. D. To name all the living things on Earth.
14. What is one of the characteristics（特点）of the EOL
A. It is set up by school students.
B. It has been open to the public.
C. It is about different types of grass and birds.
D. It produces different kinds of information about species.
15. What does the underlined part “that process” refer to
A. Collecting data. B. Studying ecosystems.
C. Creating a new way. D. Describing and analyzing species.
16. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. There are 1.8 million living species on earth.
B. There are no non-scientists helping in the site.
C. EOL is not useful for you to choose information.
D. As the EOL develops, students might find it’s useful for them.

Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》) used to be the king of encyclopaedias. It hopes to become the most important encyclopaedia again.
17 It moved to Chicago in 1935. In 1990, the company sold more than 100,000 sets of books. This was Britannica’s best year. Book sales dropped during the time of the Internet because people stopped getting information only from books. 18

About half of Britannica’s articles are free while almost all of the articles on other online encyclopaedias are free.
Still, some readers believe that Britannica’s articles are more trustworthy (值得信任的). 20 They make sure the articles are correct. The president of Britannica has a plan. He wants to offer all of the encyclopaedia online for free. The company hopes more people will read it.
