32、go to find a village in which I could live and write, but it was many months before I settled down.I wasted a lot of time looking for the “typical“ village. Yet no such thing exists. Often the villagers themselves were puzzled. Why had I come? I had put aside my work as a newspaper reporter because
33、my ideas had changed. I had come to believe that what was happening in the developing countries was more important than anything else. But to understand how three-quarters of the worlds people live, and how their future might affect ours, I felt that I first had to try and share their way of life.In
34、 the end I chose a mountain village because it was a little cooler than those in the plains. I took the bus from town along a rough road. Then came a rough walk down a path to the river. After this I began the climb into the hills. Every time I stopped to catch my breath, there was a wonderful sight

38、 had more pleasant weather than those in the plainsB. was not far from the riverC. had a great view sight of the plainsD. was at the end of a rough road（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.CInsects live in bushes and grass and trees, in fields and houses and in the ground. Some even live on other animals.Did you know t
39、hat there are more insects in the world than any other kind of animal? They fly and hop and crawl and dig. Some insects, the ants, build hills and cities of their own. Insects called silk worms spin silk. Bees make honey. And crickets(蟋蟀) make music with their feet.Lots of insects grow up in a curio
40、us way. When they are little, they look like tiny worms, and most of their lives are spent in just growing. Mosquitoes(蚊子) start this way, and so do beetles(甲虫) and flies, ants and bees. Some caterpillars (毛虫) grow into butterflies. Other wormlike wriggling (蠕动) things become moths (蛾). So all insec
41、ts do not look the same. Worms in fruit are insects. So are caterpillars and potato beetles, flies and moths.The things that some insects do are helpful to people. They spin silk and make honey and help the flowers to make seeds. Some insects are pests. They bite and sting (叮) and eat our plants and
42、 clothes, food and even furniture. Insects are everywhere.（分数：4.00）(1).Insects live _.A. in bushes B. in the groundC. on some animals D. all of the above（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the following is not true?A.

44、 shapes.D. Not all insects look the same.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Silk worms and bees are _ , while flies and mosquitoes are _.A. beneficial insects. pestsB. pests. beneficial insectsC. harmful to people. helpful to peopleD. helpful to people. helpful to people too（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.DMuseums have changed
45、a lot. They are no longer places that people “should go“ but places people enjoy. At a science museum in Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the childrens museum in New York, you can play an African drum. There are no “Do Not Touch“ signs
46、in many museums in the USA.More and more museum directors have realized that people can learn best when they become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, visitors are encouraged to touch, listen, operate and experiment so that they can discover scientific rules for themselves.The pu
47、rpose is not only to interest the visitors, but also help them feel at home in the world of science. If people dont understand science, they will be afraid of it; and if they are afraid of science, they will not make the best use of it.One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and spa
48、re time. Another cause is the growing number of young people in the population. Many of them are college students or college graduates. They see things in quite a new different way. They want art in which they can take part. The same is true of science and history.The old museums have been changing
49、and the government is encouraging the building of new, modern museums. There are more than 6 000 museums in the United States and Canada, almost twice as many as there were 25 years ago.（分数：4.00）(1).The directors of the museum have realizedA. visitors prefer to learn from museumsB. people learn best when they look at somethingC. people can learn better if they take a partD. the importance of scientific roles（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Why has growing populat
