第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Researchers who helped discover a new species of Mexican butterfly are offering to sell the naming rights to raise money to fund more research. Co-discoverer Andrew Warren is hoping to raise at least $50,000 by auctioning(拍卖) off the rights to name the 4-inch “owl eye” butterfly, which lives in Sonora, a Mexican state bordering Arizona.
“That would support at least two years of research for our team down in Mexico,” Warren said. “Money goes a long way down here in Mexico.”
According to the scientific tradition, discoverers of a new species have the say in naming it. In recent years, some discoverers have auctioned off their naming rights to raise money.
Warren said the amount being sought for the butterfly is not out of the question, noting that naming rights for a new monkey species brought in $650,000 two years ago. A group of 10 new fish species that went on the naming auction block at the same time earlier this year brought in a total of $2 million.
The butterfly discovered by Warren and researcher George Austin ranges as far north as Mexico.
The butterfly was actually in a collection, misidentified as an example of another new species, at the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity at the Florida Museum of National History in Gainesville, said Warren. They soon began the hard process of determining that it was indeed a “new” model of butterfly.
After checking photos and comparing it with other known species, they determined it was a separate species.
41. Where did the researchers discover the new species of butterflies?
A. In Sonora.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
B. In Mexico state.
C. In a place in US.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
D. Near the US-Mexico border.
42. Why will the researchers sell the naming rights of the butterfly?
A. To raise money for wildlife protection.&
B. To raise money for more research.
C. To cause people’s attention to the new discovery.&&
D. To cover the cost of the research.
43. When the butterfly was first discovered, people thought ______.
A. it was a new species at once&&&&&&&&&&&&
B. it wasn’t a species of American butterfly
C. it belonged to the monarch branches&
D. it belonged to a new species
44. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. the new species of butterfly live both in the US and Mexico
B. it took the researchers a lot of efforts to determine the new species of butterfly
C. the researchers are not sure whether they can get the money they want from the auction
D. it is the first time that the new species of butterfly has been found

CChina’s economic growth “hard to predict”
“How fast China’s economy will grow next year is uncertain,” Liu He, deputy director of the Office of the Central Leading Group on Finance and Economy Work, told China Daily.
“To a large extent, the rate will be decided by the external(外部) situation,” Liu said during a discussion with Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt and other economists in Beijing.
“This year, GDP is estimated to grow at 9.4 or 9.5 percent, down from 10.6 percent last year,” he said. “However, the impact of the current financial turbulence on our economy is much less than on the rest of the world.”
Nicholas Stern, a former UK government advisor, also told China Daily it will take at least one or two years for the world to recover from the recession, which is now spreading from the US and the UK to the rest of the world.
“We don’t know how long the recession will last, but it is unlikely to be short,” he said.
Liu said China can use the downturn(衰退) as an opportunity to restructure its economy, which has relied heavily on government investment, foreign trade and low-cost technology over the past years.
“When the economy is experiencing fast growth, companies are unwilling to upgrade their technologies,” Liu said.
“The slowdown gives such firms the opportunity to enhance(提高) their competitive edge through better technologies.”
(From China Daily )

The first MP4 player was born years ago. Soon many music fans were wondering how fantastic it is! If you have been into technology enough, perhaps you may have a knowledge of the MP4. If not, you do need to know something before buying one, even if you are familiar with MP3. MP3 is the CD-like disc with greater capacity. How about MP4? This small digital product will really enrich the joy from listening to music. You can even feel the “touch” of music to your soul!
Now, some similar digital products advertised as “MP4 player” are simply MP3 players, which do not play video and MPEG format and also lack other particular functions. These products confuse some buyers, as they may think the “MP4” players simply mean they can do more than MP3.
What is MP4?
It is a multimedia container. It is not only used to store digital audio and digital video streams, especially those of MPEG, but can also be used to store other data such as subtitles and pictures. As a most modern container format, it allows streaming over the Internet.
With the help of a piece of MP4 video equipment, you can change various programs such as MPEG to MP4, ASX to MP4, AVI to MP4 and so on, which can be done very quickly and easily without any effect on the sound quality. By installing DVD-MP4 software, you can transfer particular music from a DVD to an MP4 video file. It really excites your listening music experience.
Then, there is MP4 advanced and you can set your own collection of all the programs―TV shows, games, and music. You can even see movies which are still running in cinema. What else digital product could you possibly ask for?
53. It is suggested here that you should ______ before buying an MP4 player.
A. first be a music fan&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
B. have a knowledge of MP4
C. get familiar with MP3&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
D. buy a CD-like disc
54. From the passage, we can see that MP4 is ______ MP3.
A. much bigger than&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
B. just as advanced as
C. not so particular as&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
D. more functional than
55. Which function of MP4 is NOT directly mentioned in this passage?
A. Storing digital audio and video streams.
B. Recording some movies in cinema.
C. Playing TV shows, games and movies.
D. Transferring particular music from a DVD.
56. From the last sentence, it’s clear that the writer tries to tell us it is ______.
A. reasonable to buy other digital products
B. impossible to buy something else
C. a very wise choice to buy an MP4
D. an exciting experience to buy an MP3
It is reported that today in China, 50% of people who write blogs do so as a personal diary and 83% use their blogs for sending messages to friends. It is also found that there is a strong East-West difference. In places like the US, blogs that offer information on news attract more readers but in China, blogs are more likely to be about sharing personal feelings.
It seems that bloggers can be divided into three types: IT bloggers, bloggers who record their ordinary feelings and media bloggers.
When blogging first started, the IT people had the technological advantage and they took the chance to put their thoughts on the web. Some of these IT people read their blogs.
The next wave of bloggers did not have any training as writes or in IT and wrote about normal daily life. Media bloggers, however, are trained writers, such as journalists and editors. When the many media bloggers showed up, the everyday blogs lost most of their readers. Media bloggers have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well through the written word.
However, the normal bloggers are still out there and increasing in number. It seems that blogging is the new way to express your feelings. People feel like the world is listening to, or rather reading, their problems, even if they are not .
57. What type of text is this?
A. A blog.&&&&&&&&&& B. A diary.&&&&&&&&&&&&&
C. A news report.&& D. A school textbook.
58. What is the passage’s subject?
A. How many people in China blog.&&&&&&&&
