                                                         Call on a Ladybug
      There are lots of insects that farmers hate. But there also are some they like. These protect crops
against damage from other insects. A good example is the lady beetle,also known as the ladybug
      Lady beetles are a natural control for aphids (蚜虫). Lady beetles are red,orange or black. They
often have black spots,though some have light colored spots. Different kinds of lady beetles have
different numbers of spots. There are lady beetles with four,five, seven and fourteen spots.
      Many of the well-known kinds of lady beetles come from Asia or Europe. They are now common
throughout the United States.
      American scientists imported one kind of lady beetle,the multicolored Asian lady beetle,as early as
1916. They released them as an attempt to control some kinds of insects. Over the years,the beetle has
become established,possibly helped by some that arrived with imported plants on ships.
       Experts say over 450 kinds of lady beetles are found in North America. Some are native to the area. Others have been brought from other places. Almost all are helpful to farmers.
      The Asian lady beetles now in the United States probably came from Japan. The Asian lady beetle
eats aphids that damage crops like soybeans,fruits and berries.
     In the southern United States,Asian lady beetles have reduced the need for farmers to use pest-killing
poisons on pecan trees. This popular tree nut suffers from aphids and other pests that the
beetles eat.
      But some people say the Asian lady beetle has itself become a pest. They worry that the beetles may
eat their late-autumn fruit crops.
        Experts say Asian lady beetles may appear in large numbers in some years. But they say the insects
are too helpful to be considered pests.1. What do ladybugs look like?     A. All kinds of ladybugs are of the same color.
B. Most of them are red,orange and black.
C. They each have the same number of spots on them.
D. The farms like them.2. Asian ladybugs have been in the United States for___．     A. nine decades
B. hundreds of years
C. half a century
D. a century3. Which of the following is NOT supported in the passage?   A. There are more than 450 kinds of ladybugs in North America,including native ones.
B. Only some imported ladybugs are helpful to the local plants.
C. Soybeans,fruits and berries are favorites of Aphids.
D. Pecan trees are common in the south of America.4. According to the experts,ladybugs are _____   .    A. more helpful than considered as pests.
B. more pests than helpful insects.
C. helpful as well as destructive.
D. are more destructive than helpful.

阅读理解。     In Texas, there was once a prairie dog town that housed about 400 million of the small,fat rodents
(啮齿动物) in its network of tunnels and burrows (穴). But it was not crowded in this town. There was
sunlight and fresh air for all. There was enough grass to furnish food.
    Scientists have leamed that the prairie dogs found in many parts of the West can live together in huge
numbers without being crowded. Scientists know that each prairie dog town is divided into separate
territories. Each section belongs to a family group,or clan.
      The animals cooperate in many ways. One of the prairie dogs who sense danger will wam the others. All the animals take cover. Still,the animals stay within their own sections of the town and eat only the
plants that grow there. Young prairie dogs are taught the clan boundaries,and they later teach the
boundaries to their own young.
       What happens when one clan becomes too large for the food in its territory? Is there any war with
the next-door clan to win more land? Not at all. The territory is turned over to the younger members
of the clan. The older animals move out to the edge of the town. They stake out a new territory and dig
a new network of tunnels. Before long, another clan will form a new territory beyond them. In this way,
a prairie dog town grows and grows,but the number of animals in each section stays about the same.1. What does the underlined word"furnish" mean in Paragraph 1?A. grow
B. provide
C. cook
D. furniture2. In what way do the prairie dogs live together?A. They live in a small but cooperative family.
B. They live in a crowded and cooperative family.
C. They live in a big but united family.
D. They live in a large family without cooperation.3. Young prairie dogs are taught the clan boundaries. The most probable reason is that ____    .  A. young prairie dogs shouldn"t move to other place
B. young prairie dogs must find a new territory
C. young prairie dogs should fight to gain more land
D. young prairie dogs shouldn"t get food from other territories4.The following facts can make you believe prairie dogs do not fight one another EXCEPT
   the one that___． A. they stay in their own sections of the town and eat only the plants that grow there
B. the older animals move out of the town when they become too large for the food
C. prairie dogs build the network of tunnels and burrows to form a territory in the town
D. there was sunlight,fresh air and enough grass for all
