5.阅读下列短文,从每题所给出的四个选项中,选出最佳选项.
The size of animals is directly connected(联系)to the Earth's temperature.The hotter it gets,the smaller animals become.It suggests that humans could shrink(缩小)if the Earth continues its warmer steps.
Scientists studied Sifrhippus,a 56-million-year-old ancestor of the modern-day horse.When Sifrhippus first appeared,he weighed only 12 pounds.Scientists used the teeth of the Sifrhippus fossils (化石)to judge its size over time.Then they compared its change of size with climate(气候)changes.
What did the study show?During a period of 175 000 years,Sifrhippus shrank to about 8.5 pounds (just the weight of a little dog) before it increased to its original 12-pound size.Its funny change in size was well connected with the great changes of the Earth's temperature.The horse shrank as the Earth heated up by 5°C to 10°C,and grew as the Earth cooled again.
Why did heat cause the horse to shrink?Scientists think that smaller animals can throw off their body heat more easily.So they can live more successfully in warm climates.That shows a rule known as Bergmann,s rule(伯格曼定律),which says that animals of the same kind are smaller in warmer climates and larger in colder climates.(The polar bear,for example,is the largest member of the bear family.) Scientists also believe that global warming makes it difficult for animals to get enough food,which makes animals live in smaller size.
Could humans shrink,too?Quite possibly.But scientists say a lot more research has to be done before making any final conclusions.
63.From th e passage we know that the Earth's temperatureD,
A.always stays the same             B.is becoming lower
C.will rise by 10°C                     D.is becoming higher
64.What do you know about Sifrhippus?D
A.It s the biggest horse.B.It's the smallest horse.
C.It's a kind of modern horse.D.It's the earliest horse.
65.The study has shown that SifrhippusA.
A.changed it s size with climate changes
B.always had the same size
C.grew bigger in hotter environment
D.couldn't have enough food to eat
66.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?D

In our school,we have a fire emergency response practice(火警应急演习) in September every year.So we know where to go if there is a fire in school.We learn to use the fire extinguisher(灭火器),too.But I don't think we should be allowed to put out the fire alone,it's too dangerous for young students like us.

9.There are over 37,000 known species(种) of spiders in different shapes and sizes in the world.The largest spiders live in the rain forests of South America and are known as the"bird-eating"spiders.These spiders can grow up to 28cm long and they eat small birds.The smallest spiders are from Western Samoa.These tiny spiders are less than 0.5mm long.They live in the plants that grow on mountain rocks.
    Some people like to keep spiders as pets,but most people don't like touching them.A great number of people are afraid of them,mainly because of their poison-something will cause death or harm.However,only thirty species of spiders are very dangerous to humans.Spiders provide benefits for humans by catching and eating insects,such as flies and mosquitoes (蚊子).
    Spiders are different from other animals,because they make webs to catch the small insects for food.The special silk of a spider's web is light and strong-five times stronger than steel.Some people have tried to raise spiders in order to collect their silk,but no one has ever succeeded in doing it.One reason is that it takes 670,000 spiders to produce half a kilo of silk,and all of these spiders need living insects for their food.Besides,spiders are usually solitary (独自的) animals,and need to be kept alone.
    All in all,people are amazed to learn that there are so many secrets in spiders!

71.Where do the largest spiders liveA?
A.In the rain forests of South America.
B.In the plants of Western Samoa.
C.On the mountain rocks of South America.

A.Scientists are still working on testing them.B.So some clever farmers have solved (解决) the watermelon problem.C.Doctors might be able to use vegetables to fight cancer now.D.Since 1990s,many Chinese farmers have had amazing rice harvests (收成).E.Well,today the poem needs to change to"Roses are red,roses are blue"!

Most people may not think that there are any problems with watermelons (西瓜),but some Japanese sellers do.There is often wasted space when they store watermelon because round watermelons do not sit nicely on shelves.(66)B They make their watermelons grow in square (正方形的) glass boxes so the watermelons become square.The only problem now is the price which is about 80dollars each.
Many people know the saying"Roses are red,violets are blue,sugar is sweet and so are you."(67)E Australian scientists have just recently discovered that when they put a chemical from a blue flower into a rose,they can create a nearly 100% blue rose.Some of scientists'inventions are beautiful,not just useful.
(68)D For many years Chinese scientists have been working on developing new kinds of stronger rice and now they have produced a new kind called super rice.Super rice not only can protect itself against insects (害虫) and diseases,but it also produces more than any other kind of rice.Today farmers can grow almost one and a half times more rice than they could grow in the past.
(69)C US scientists have discovered a way to put a chemical into tomato plants while they are growing.When cancer patients eat the tomatoes,the tomatoes will fight the cancer in their bodies.These cancer-fighting vegetables are not yet for sale.(70)A If study finds no problems with tomatoes,then patients can begin to use this easy and delicious new treatment.
