Can you imagine living in the desert for a whole year, watching the activities of a group of busy ants? Deborah Gordon did exactly that. She finally found out that there were four main groups of workers in the ant team: cleaners, haulers(搬运工), gatherers and security (安全) ants. Each group did their own job to finish the task of the whole team.
Cleaner ants carried waste food from inside the nest to outside. Hauler ants walked on the top of the nest and cleared rubbish. Gatherer ants went out to find food for the whole team and security ants fought against anyone who wanted to hurt the members of the team.
While she was watching the ants in the desert, Deborah found that the most interesting part was watching the ants dealing with difficulties, such as fighting against other insects that wanted to destroy their nest, or a big fire. At those moments, they would all stop what they were doing and go to help security ants to protect their home.
What do we do when people around us meet difficulties? What have we done to turn our world into a better place? It’s time to think.
小题1: If there was a fire near their home, the groups of ants would________.

A．just do their own job

B．run away at once

C．help to fight against the fire

D．go back into their nest

小题2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Cleaner ants carried waste food from outside the nest to the inside.

B．Gatherer ants went out to find food for themselves.

C．Each group did their own job when meeting difficulties.

D．There were some other insects that wanted to destroy their nest.

小题3:The writer mainly wants to tell us____________.

A．everyone should help others when they meet difficulties

B．there were four groups of workers in the ant team

C．how Deborah Gordon lived in the desert

D．Deborah Gordon is a brave woman

答案

小题1:C
小题2:D
小题3:A

解析

试题分析：你能想象生活在沙漠中待一年，在一年中都在观察蚂蚁的活动吗？黛博拉·戈登做到了。她发现蚂蚁团队有四个团队：清洁工、搬运工、采集和安全，每组做他们自己的工作来完成整个团队的任务。通过几个实例说明蚂蚁是一个团结互助的集体。
小题1:细节理解题。问题：如果大火在蚂蚁家的附近，他们将会做什么？分析原文：At those moments, they would all stop what they were doing and go to help security ants to protect their home.句意：在那个时刻，他们将会停下他们正在做的事，并且去帮助负责安全的蚂蚁共同保护他们的家。分析与第三项符合。故选C
小题2:细节理解题。问题：通过短文，下列描述正确的是哪一项？分析原文：fighting against other insects that wanted to destroy their nest.句意：他们与破坏他们巢穴的昆虫斗争。因此说明还是有一些昆虫想破坏蚂蚁的家园。故选D
小题3:细节理解题。问题：作者主要想告诉我们什么？分析短文的最后一段，作者用两个问句的形式来总结全文，当我们遇到我们周围的人有困难，我们应该怎么做？如何让我们的环境变得更好？其实答案就在描述蚂蚁的团队精神。从而充分的说明，当我们遇到某人有困难的时候，我们应该互相帮助。故选A

举一反三

If you’re ready to add more physical activity(体育运动) to your life, here are some tips(建议).
Make physical activity part of your routine, like brushing your teeth or going to work. Try biking to work at least once a week, using the stairs more often, or walking to some places near home. But talk to your doctor before you start an exercise routine, especially if you haven’t been very active or have health problems.
Walking is one of the best fitness(健康) activities. To keep up a routine, you can walk with family members, friends or pets. Count your steps with a step counter(计数器). You can buy one at a sporting goods store. If you don’t have time for one 30-minute walk, break it into three 10-minute walks.
Find an activity that you enjoy, and stay with it. Change it with other activities so you don’t get bored. For example, walk three days a week, and swim or bike on the other days. Join a volleyball or basketball club for fun and exercise. By finding more activities you enjoy, you’ll have a greater chance for success.

Butterflies are common all over the world，but butterflies in hotter countries are usually bigger and more brightly colored than those in coo1er countries，and there are more different kinds．
Usually the male(雄性的)butterflies are more brightly colored than the females．The females have bigger and heavier bodies since they carry the eggs．The bright colors of the males help to attract the females，and the duller(较暗淡的)colors of the females make them less likely(可能的)to be caught by enemies before they have laid their eggs．

When you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory (记忆 ) works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault (过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed (责备 ) , and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write but they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is being exercised the whole time.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.
小题1: Someone can’t have a good memory if _

A．his parents don"t have a good memory

B．he can"t read or write

C．he doesn’t use his memory

D．he doesn"t use his arms or legs for some time

小题2: If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, _

A．they become weak and wont become strong until you use them again

B．they will become stronger

C．they become weak but they slowly become strong again

D．you cant use them any more

小题3: Which of the following is true?

A．Your memory works in the different way as your arms or legs.

B．Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance
to practice.

C． Don"t learn how to read or write if you want to have a better memory.

D．A good memory comes from less practice.

小题4: Few people know that it is only _ if a friend has a poor memory.

A．his grandmother"s fault	B．his parents fault
C．his teachers’ fault	D．his own fault

小题5: The writer wants to tell us________ .
