thought that millions of people would buy a product containing living 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 . 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 childrens 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 uncles 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.through the years the toys continued to attract antwatchers. people buy uncle milton ant farms from stores and order from websites. during his life, 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.16which of the following words can best describe milton levine?astrong. bcreative.cloyal. dhumorous.17_ may be studied in the science of entomology.aroses bbutterfliesctigers dsharks18milton levine got his idea from the following except _aa business newsletter bthe baby boomcants parading da farmhouse19what is the main idea of the last paragraph?ahow to care for the ants.bants are strong and diligent.cthe uncle milton ant farm is more than a toy.dthe uncle milton ant farm is very popular. b(2013年北京)does fame drive you crazy?although being famous might sound like a dream come true, todays star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. they are at the center of much of the worlds attention. paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. justimagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.according to psychologist christina villareal, celebrities famous people worry constantly about their public appearance. eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “over time,” villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”the phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. in the 4th century b.c., painters followedalexander the great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. when charles dickens visitedamerica in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨)about his lack of privacy. tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. when they say something silly or do somethingridiculous, there is always the internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.if fame is so troublesome, why arent all celebrities running away from it? the answer is there are still ways to deal with it. some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. they focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. they are tired of being famous already.20. it can be learned from the passage that stars today_.a. are often misunderstood by the publicb. can no longer have their privacy protectedc. spend too much on their public appearanced. care little about how they have come into fame21. what is the main idea of paragraph 3?a. great heroes of the past were generally admired.b. the problem faced by celebrities has a long history. c. well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.d. works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.22. what makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?a. availability of modern media. b. inadequate social recognition.c. lack of favorable chances.d. huge population of fans.23. what is the authors attitude toward modern celebrity?a. sincere.b. sceptical.c. disapproving.d. sympathetic.参考答案.1.d考查冠词。astronomy指学科，学科前不用冠词；space指“太空”，一般不与冠词连用，但有形容词修饰时，应使用定冠词。2a句意：我们完成设计后就该由公司来进行建设了。inonesturn固定搭配，意思是“轮到某人，接着”。3b句意：自这次灾难以来，所有的人，不管是年老的还是年轻的，富有的还是贫穷的，都在尽自己最大的努力去帮助那些需要帮助的人。whetheror是固定搭配，意为“无论是还是，不管是还是”。4c考查非谓语动词。句意：如果他们赢了今晚的决赛，队员们将会巡游全城，接受热心支持者的欢呼。a项beingcheered正在进行；b项becheered是谓语原形；d项werecheered也是谓语，但句中已有谓语aregoingto；c项tobecheered表示将来，同时也表示被动。根据语境，选c。5c考查固定词组搭配。preventsbfromdoingsth“阻止某人做某事”，本句中的fishingboats和attack是被动关系，所以选择c项，且此处不用完成时态。句意：中国最近加紧黄岩岛的水域控制来阻止中国渔船在中国南海被袭击。6a考查非谓语动词。findsmallgroupsofwordspuzzling，puzzling作宾语补足语，表示“让人迷惑的”。7c考查非谓语动词。topresentthemselvestotheemployers为动词不定式短语作目的状语。8c考查代词it的用法。此处it作形式宾语，whenandwherethemeetingwouldbeheld是真正的宾语。当复合宾语中的宾语是宾语从句时，往往把宾语放在它的补语的后面，而把代词it放在全句谓语动词和宾语补语的中间。宾语补语后面的宾语是真正的宾语，谓语动词和宾语补语中间的it是形式宾语。9c考查形容词辨析。句意：很明显，加强两国的战略伙伴关系与两国以及两国人民的根本利益是一致的。traditional传统的，惯例的；potential潜在的，可能的；fundamental基础的，根本的，十分重要的；secure安全的，牢固的。10b考查动词辨析。句意：获取更多有关如何使用这些工具的信息可以增加你的成功机会。raise举起，提高，筹集，养育；multiply乘，增加；add将相加，增加(to)；gain获得。11b考查状语从句的连接词。此处nowthat意为：既然。句意：因为当今大多数孩子是独生子，所以他们更加自我。12a考查倍数的表达法。此处结构为：倍数asadj./adv.。13c考查形容词辨析。句意：丈夫和妻子之间发生了一次激烈的争吵，之后，妻子离家出走，再也没回来。violent激烈的，暴力的。sensitive敏感的；serious严重的，严肃的；strict严格的。14b考查短语辨析。句意：多年来她一直想要封闭那段可怕的回忆，但这一点儿都不容易。liveon意为“靠过活，以为主食，继续存在”；blockout意为“挡住，遮住(光线或声音)；忘掉，抹去(不愉快的事)；塞住，封住(孔、洞)”；bringback意为“带回来，使记起，使恢复”；callup意为“给打电话，使想起”。根据句意可知b项正确。15d考查情景交际。thatdepends那依情况而定。.本文介
