阅读下面短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。
Cicadas(蝉) that appear from underground only once every 17-years are making big news in the US. The first signs are little holes in parks and fields. Then, big, red-eyed bugs start crawling(爬) out. Thousands of these black, winged insects cover sidewalks, mailboxes, tree branches, and roofs across certain areas of America.
Many insect lovers are going out to parks to observe what scientists believe to be the largest emergence of an insect group in history. But you don't have to live in the US to study the amazing bugs that inhabit our world. Summer is coming. With it come warm days and many chances to have a look at bugs. These creatures keep our ecosystems(生态系统) running and make up the majority of our planet's population!
Many people use the words “bugs” and “insects” to refer to anything with more than four legs. But an insect actually has six legs, a three-part body, and an exoskeleton, which is a skeleton(骨骼) on the outside of its body. Ants, butterflies and cicadas are all insects.
Insects keep our environment working by recycling garbage and dead plants. They serve as food for animals, and pollinate(授粉) plants. Doctors have even found ways of using them in medical treatments to help sick people.
Tracking down insects to watch can be as simple as going to your local park to look for ants, or as complicated as walking out into the woods to find rare beetles(甲虫) Just look carefully and be patient, and something will turn up.
If you want to do more than just watch, you can collect bugs. Take along a butterfly net to catch flying insects and tweezers(镊子) to pick up bugs. Take clean, empty food jars with small air holes poked(戳) in the lids, so you can keep the bugs for a little while, perhaps overnight.
Great creatures to look out for during summer include beetles, butterflies and dragonflies(蜻蜓).However, creatures to watch but not disturb are spiders(蜘蛛) , bees, wasps(黄蜂) , and centipedes(蜈蚣).All of them may leave a painful bite if you touch them and some bites can be dangerous.
When handling and watching the insects you find, remember: they may look different from us, but they have many of the same feelings, such as fear and pain. Have a look, but no poking or pinching(捏) , please!

阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求).
Modern inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly. Motor cars cover a hundred miles
in lithe more than an hour,aircraft cross the world inside a day,while computers operate at lightning
speed. Indeed,this love of speed seems never ending. Every year motor cars are produced which g
o even faster and each new computer boasts(吹嘘)of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time,but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in
an airplane,our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as j et lag; our bodies
feel that they have been left behind in another time zone. Again,spending too long at computers results
in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also ,according to some scientists;too much
use may put harmful radiation into our brains,a consequence we do not like to think about.
However,what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax,or so it seems. We are
so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at
a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio,letting
imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people's lives were devoted simply to the cultivation(耕耘)of the land
or the care of cattle. No multi tasking there;their lives went on at a much gentler pace,and in a familiar
pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so,we must
think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced:they farmed with bare hands,often lived close to hunger,and
had to make tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive
existence.
1. What's the passage mainly about?(within 10 words)
2. List the difficulties our ancestors met according to the text. (within 15 words)
①
②
③
3. Fill in the blank in the 2nd paragraph with proper words or phrases.
4. Why do we make new products more and more time-saving according to Paragraph 1 of this passage?
5. Translate the underlined sentence in the 3rd paragraph into Chinese.
