The problem was its 6 habitat: I could only watch these lovely insects 7 gracefully. No matter how high I climbed, these creatures were always just 8 my reach. With only a couple of days before we were to leave, I began to 9 hope of finding my great orange tip.
One morning I was at leave to wander the bush keeping a 10 eye out for my beauty. In the heat, butterflies of all sorts floated above the wildflowers on the hillsides. 11 ,the great orange tips remained high above the treetops. But then, I caught a flash of brilliant white out of the 12 of my eye. I looked up and there it was, about a meter away, 13 on a big red flower. I 14 in my tracks.

There was the brilliant bloom of orange on the tips of its glowing white wings, and I could feel the creature’s 18 between my fingers.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.
6. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.
A. we can not live without water B. plants cannot grow without air
C. there are many plants in the world D. plants are important for life
7. Plants can make food from______.
A. flower, water and air B. water, sunlight and air
C. air, water and soil D. air, sun and light
8. What can we infer(推断) from the passage ?
A. Of all living things animals are most important
B. Spores are seeds
C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds
D. Without plants, man will die out
9. This passage may be taken from______.
A. a medicine book B. a novel
C. a science magazine D. an experiment report
10. The underlined word “protected” in the third paragraph can be replaced by ______.
A. damaged B. polluted C. guarded D. prevented

阅读下面短文，把握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have experienced an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.
One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock (家畜) to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for pig producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farms depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.
Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand”that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make shocking changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear (修剪)sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete change of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.
