The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco，California is one of the world's most beautiful bridges. It is also one of the most visited places in the world. More than 1800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since it opened more than 70 years ago.

The bridge was painted “International Orange” because that color went well with the natural surroundings. The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area. But the Golden Gate Bridge was not named for its orange color. It was named for the body of water that it crosses, the Golden Gate Strait, which is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean

Planning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area around San Francisco was growing. People living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries. Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer for the project. Work began in 1934.Mr.Strauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history of bridge building. These included the first use of “hard hats” to protect the workers' heads and special glasses to protect their eyes. A special safety net was suspended under the bridge. This net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction.

The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937.It extends 1280 meters across the water. The total length is 2737 meters. It was the largest suspension bridge(吊桥)in the world until 1964.That is when the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in New York City. Today, the Golden Gate Bridge is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world.

1.What was the Golden Gate Bridge named after?

A. The Strait it crosses　　 B. The color of a paint

C. The local climate　　 D. Its natural surroundings

2.How did people cross the Golden Gate Strait before the bridge was built?

A. By plane.　　 B. By train.

C. By road.　　 D. By boat.

3.Why was a special safety net suspended under the bridge?

A. Because it can protect the environment

B. Because it can prevent workers from falling

C. Because it can make construction easier

D. Because it can save building materials from falling

4.What do we know about Joseph Strauss?

A. He built the first suspension bridge in the world.

B. His safety measures were not of practical value.

C. He attached importance to the workers' safety.

D. He demanded strong measures to ensure the safety of the bridge.

Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. We go fishing, sit in the garden, have a picnic, live in the suburbs or go to the seaside. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. When joggers jog, they don't run the streets. Every one of them tend to go to the park or the river.

But despite this, our children are growing up nature­deprived(剥夺). I spent my boyhood climbing trees. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.

The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.

ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood. One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.

The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.

We need the wild world. It is essential to our well­being, our health and our happiness.

1.According to the author, people enjoy ________ to seek nature.

A．jogging on the street

B．sitting in the garden

C．shopping in the supermarket

D．running in the gym

2.From the second paragraph, we can see that ________.

A．adults deprive the children of their rights to approach nature

B．climbing trees will certainly do good to the children

C．children probably spend less time in nature nowadays

D．children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction

3.In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature?

A．Children with ADHD can be cured.

B．A garden nearby improves the quality of old people's life.

C．Problems with crime and violent behaviour will easily be solved.

D．Children's performance at school is greatly improved.

4.What is the main idea of this passage?

A．Access to nature improves our life.

B．Nature treats children for ADHD.

C．Getting close to nature reduces crime.

D．Man can't live without natural areas.

Butterflies are some of the most fascinating and beautiful insects in the world. Adult butterflies will live about 2 to 4 weeks. They use their senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste to survive in the world, find food and mates, lay eggs in an appropriate place, migrate, and avoid hungry enemies.

Butterflies have large compound eyes(复眼), which allow them to see in all directions without turning their heads. Like most insects, butterflies are very near­sighted, so they are more attracted to a sea of flowers than individual plants. Butterflies do not “see” colors such as red, green, and yellow, but they can sense sunlight, which indicates the direction the sun is shining, as well as ultraviolet light（紫外线）, which is present on many flowers and guides butterflies to honey sources.

Butterflies have a very well-developed sense of smell, but it is not in their nose, since they don't have one. Sense receptors are located in their antennae（触角）, feet, and many other parts of the body. They can help butterflies find their favorite flower honey food, and mates.

Butterflies' feet have sense organs that can taste the sugar in flower honey, letting the butterflies know if something is good to eat or not. Some females also carefully choose host plants by tasting to find appropriate places to lay their eggs. Adult butterflies feed their babies using a long tube. Butterflies force blood into the tube to straighten it out, allowing them to feed. Butterflies get all their food from this tube.

Butterflies don't have ears. Instead they “hear” sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations（振动）.

Butterflies may possess senses we don't even know about yet, because their body structure is very different from ours, and therefore difficult to understand, when observed through our own human senses.

1.What can we learn from the 2nd paragraph?

A. Butterflies have good eyesight.

B. Butterflies can see in all directions and don't need to turn heads.

C. Butterflies are sensitive to bright colors including red and yellow.

D. Butterflies cannot sense the ultraviolet light.

2.How do butterflies hear sounds?

A. Using their feet to sense the vibration of things

B. Using their ears to listen directly

C. Using their wings to sense the sound vibrations

D. Using their antennae to judge the sound

3.Why do female adult butterflies carefully choose the host plants?

A. To find high-qualified honey.

B. To have a good place for living.

C. To make it easier for them to hide from the enemies.

D. To find a proper place for their eggs.

4.What does the last paragraph imply?

A. There’s a long way to understand butterflies well

B. Butterflies give great help to human beings

C. Butterflies are the most beautiful insects in the world

D. Butterflies possess more senses than humans

5.The text mainly focuses on ________.

A. butterflies' living habits　　　　　　 B. butterflies' beauty
