35、recommendationPassage Three One of the greatest mysteries in biology-how the monarch butterfly (帝王蝶) travels thousands of kilometers on its yearly migration -has just been solved.Monarch butterflies use the sun to set their body clocks and make their journeys, according to US scientists. No other bu

36、tterfly in the world migrates like the orange and black monarchs of North America. They cannot live for long periods in cold weather. Each autumn, thousands travel up to 3,000 km to spend the winter in the mountains of Mexico. It usually takes the butterflies two months to reach Mexico. After stayin

37、g five months, they head back up north in the spring. But not one butterfly finishes the whole round-trip. They lay eggs along the way and die. Three generations of butterflies will live and die during the spring journey alone. The fourth and final generation of the year is born in early autumn and

38、will reach the north. But it hardly gets to rest before starting the long journey south to Mexico. The most amazing thing about these butterflies is that they return to the very same tree in Mexico that their great-great-grandparents used the winter before. Past studies have shown that the insects u

39、se the sun as a compass to show them the way. But experts are unsure how the butterflies change their direction as the sun moves in the sky. This new study now shows that the insects use a “circadian (生理节奏的)” clock in their bodies as part of their sun compass. In laboratory tests, monarch butterflie

40、s were found to fly in the right direction under normal daylight hours. But those flying in 24-hour light headed straight towards the sun. That is, they no longer had any sense of time. Scientist Steven Reppert, who led the research, said: “We have shown the need for the circadian clock for monarch

41、butterfly migration. When the clock is interrupted, monarchs are unable to fly towards Mexico.”46.

44、s used the winter before49. What can we learn from the passage about past studies and the new discovery?A. The new discovery throws light on an old mystery.B. The new study discovers the use of the sun as a compass.C. Past studies discovered the new function of a body clock.D. Past studies showed ho

45、w the butterflies could change direction.50. What was found about monarch butterflies in the laboratory?A. They lost their sense of time easily.B. The sun was not important in their migration.C.

48、ak down.G. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them into his or her own electronic grade book.Imagine a classroom missing the one thing thats long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing: paper. 51 And there are no pencils or pens, which,

49、 after all, always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.A “paperless classroom” is what more and more schools are trying to achieve. Students dont do any handwriting in this class. 52 The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every students personal computer. Hav

50、ing computers also means that students can search the Web. 53 And exams can go online too. At a high school in Tennessee, students take tests on their own computers. 54 A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. Stephanie Sorrell, a school teacher in Kentucky, said she

51、used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to the students. “Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers,” she said. 55 So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi-tech students.机密启用前2013年天津市高等院校“高职升本科”招生统一考
