Bats often appear in movies and literature as frightening creatures. The animals have even been linked in some cultures to vampires, seeking to attack humans and drink the blood of them. In reality, bats are usually not harmful to people. They can do good things for people and the environment. For example, bats eat a lot of different insects that can harm our environment. They can also spread seeds.

But a serious disease is currently threatening the bat population in many parts of the United States. The disease is called white-nose syndrome. It has killed more than 6 million bats across the United States since 2007. Bats catch the disease through their skin while resting on the walls of mountain caves. Biologist Lindsay Rohrbaugh says that the disease spreads quickly and can lead to strange behavior in bats.

In Washington D. C, researchers are studying how white-nose syndrome is affecting the area's nine species of bats. Some scientists are trapping bats on an island in the middle of the Anacostia River to test for the disease. The group is receiving money to help carry out their studies.

Marco Carvello is with the Washington D. C Government's Department of Energy and Environment. "Scientists are concerned that the disease is continuing to greatly reduce the bat population. The bat deaths are affecting the quality of human life in many ways. Without bats, there is an increase of many insects. And that's only going to get worse over time if some ways can't be found," he said.

One theory is that some bats are no longer returning to caves to avoid getting, sick. This means more of them are now making their way into cities, where contact with humans is more likely Experts advise people to keep away from bats in case they have the disease. And animal control officers should safely remove the animals.

1.According to Paragraph I people tend to think bats __________.

A.should be protected

B.can help spread seeds

C.do harm to human beings

D.may damage the environment

2.Which of the following might Marco Carvello agree with?

A.The disease has led to people's strange behavior.

B.The-disease may cause the disappearance of bats.

C.The government should control the spread of the disease.

D.The decrease in the bat population can greatly affect humans' life.

3.What does the author mainly tell us in the passage?

A.A bat species is decreasing in number.

B.We have found ways to protect bats.

C.A disease-causes many deaths of bats.

D.We should have a high opinion of bats.

When another old cave is discovered in the south of France，it is not usual news．Rather，it is art ordinary event．Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them．However，when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940，the world was amazed．Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago．The scenes show people hunting animals，such as bison or wild cats．Other images show birds and，most noticeably，horses，which appear in more than 300 wall images，by far outnumbering all other animals．

Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task．They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex．

Unfortunately，the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes，which easily wear the images away．Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances，air movement has also damaged the images inside．

Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago，many of the images have been destroyed and are barely recognizable．To prevent further damage，the site was closed to tourists in 1963，23 years after it was discovered．

1.What can be the best title for the text?

A．Wild Animals in Art　　             B．Hidden Prehistoric Paintings

C．Exploring Caves Respectfully        D．Determining the Age of French Caves

2.The underlined phrase“pays heed to”in Paragraph 1 probably means _____________．

A．discovers　　 B．watches　　 C．notices　　 D．buys

3.According to the text，which animals appear most often on the cave walls?

A．It was completely dark inside．　　

B．The caves were full of wild animals．

C．Painting materials were hard to find．

A family in Edinburgh has discovered that an old chess piece they kept in a drawer for 55 years is a long-lost part of a medieval(中世纪的）chess set. The piece was bought by their grandfather for £5 from an antique dealer in Edinburgh in 1964. It is estimated that it could now sell for £ 1 million at auction(拍卖). It is one of five missing pieces from the Lewis Chessmen, a set of medieval chess pieces that were found in a sand hill on the Isle of Lewis, off Scotland’s west coast, in 1831.

The piece is 8.8 centimeters tall and made from walrus ivory, a rare material in those days. It is warder, which is a prison guard, with a helmet, shield and sword. This piece would be the same as a rook(车), or castle in a modern chess set.

The family, who don’t want to make their name public, explained how their grandfather was unaware of the piece’s importance when he bought it in 1964. After he died, it was looked after by his daughter, who believed that it had magical qualities. They finally realized how important the piece was when it was examined by Alexander Kader, an expert at Sotheby’s auction house in London.

The Lewis Chessmen are famous all over the world. The set is split between the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, and the British Museum in London, attracting lots of visitors. They are thought to have been made in Trondheim, Norway, between AD 1150 and 1200, and were probably buried on Lewis for safekeeping on their way to being sold in Ireland. Nobody really knows for sure why they were buried there or how they were discovered.

The piece will go on display in Edinburgh and then London before its auction on 2 July. It is expected to either be bought by, or loaned to, a museum. Kader says there are still four missing pieces out there, “However, it might take another 150 years for one to show up.”

1.Which of the following is TRUE about the Lewis Chessmen?

A.It has a history of 55 years. B.It consists of 5 missing chesses.

C.It is made from walrus ivory. D.It is the equivalent of a rook.

2.People are most likely to see the Lewis Chessmen _________ .

A.in a sand hill B.in the museums

C.in a family drawer D.at an auction house

3.Why did the daughter keep the chess piece for so many years?

A.She was honoring her late grandfather’s wish.

B.She knew it had certain historical value.

C.She didn’t want to make its existence public.

D.She thought it had some mysterious power-

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.Where the chess piece will end up remains to be seen.

B.The other four missing pieces will eventually surface.

C.The family expects the piece to be sold to the museum.

D.The auction will attract many private collectors in Scotland.

The royal family is filled with rules, and one in particular might explain why Princess Charlotte is a princess, but her kids likely won't be.

When it comes to the British royal family, one thing is almost always true: they have a pretty confusing set of official rules and protocols. For instance, the royal family doesn't have a last name. And don't forget the fact that Queen Elizabeth celebrates two birthdays every year.

If your head isn't swimming yet, consider the tradition of royal titles. As a British custom, only the daughter of a prince or a prince's wife may be considered a formal “princess”. The latter applies to Kate, who is both a princess and the Duchess of Cambridge thanks to her marriage to Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge. And their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, also bear official royal titles because their father is Prince William.

However, while Prince George's future children will also carry their father's royal status, any children that Princess Charlotte has will not automatically be considered princes or princesses. Why? Royal custom dictates that royal titles are passed down via sons, but not daughters.

However, while Prince George's future children will also carry their father's royal status, any children that Princess Charlotte has will not automatically be considered princes or princesses. Why? Royal custom dictates that royal titles are passed down via sons, but not daughters.

"Royal titles are inherited through sons, so if Princess Charlotte has children they would not automatically inherit the titles (his or her royal highness) HRH, Prince, or Princess,” Lucy Hume, associate director of etiquette experts Debrett's, told Town& Country.

Of course, exceptions can (and will!) be made. (Learn about every time the British royal family broke their own protocol.) The Queen has offered HRH status to other royal offspring in the past, including the children of Queen Elizabeth's daughter, Anne. Although Princess Anne and her husband, Captain Phillips, declined, perhaps Princess Charlotte will be extended the same offer when her own children are born.

1.What's the meaning of the underlined word "protocol" in the second paragraph?

A.Promise. B.Behavior. C.Manners. D.Connection.

2.What kind of child is regarded as "princess"?

A.The son of a princess. B.The daughter of a prince.

C.The daughter of a princess. D.The wife of a king.

3.Who is Charlotte's father?

A.Prince George. B.Elizabeth. C.Prince William. D.Captain Philips.

4.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?

A.Any person can break traditional rules.

B.Not every person must obey traditional rules.

C.Any British royal family member has their own title.

D.Maybe the British royal family will break their own rules.
