    　　A store that sells husbands has just opened in Ottawa where a woman may go to choose a husband from many men．The store consists of 6 floors and the men increase in positive attributes(属性)as the shopper goes up the flights．There is, however, a catch．As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to leave the building．

    　　So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband．On the first floor, the sign on the door reads：Floor 1-These men have jobs．The woman reads the sign and says to herself．"Well, that's better than my last boyfriend, but 1 wonder what's further up?"

    　　So up she goes．The second floor sign reads：Floor 2-These men have jobs and love kids．The woman remarks to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's further up?"

    　　And up she goes again．The third floor sign reads：Floor 3-These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking．"Hmm, better．" she says．"But I wonder what's upstairs?"

    　　The fourth floor sign reads：Floor 4-These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking and help with the housework．"Wow!" exclaims the woman, "Very attractive．But, there must be more, further up!"

    　　And again she heads up another flight．The fifth floor sign reads：Floor5-These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good-looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic character．''Oh, mercy me!But just think…hat must be awaiting me further on?"

    　　So up to the sixth floor she goes．The sixth floor sign reads：Floor 6-You are visitors 3,456,789,012 to this floor．There are no men on this floor．Thank you for shopping Husband Mart and have a nice day．

    　　The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audience could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said good-bye to each other forever. He sent his camera crew(摄制组)out one evening to film the sunset for him.

    　　The next morning he said to the men,“Have you provided me with that sunset?”

    　　“No, sir,”the men answered.

    　　The director was angry.“Why not?”he asked.

    　　“Well, sir.”one of the men answered, “we're on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”

    　　“But I want a sunset!”the director shouted.“Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”

    　　But then a young secretary had an idea.“Why don't you photograph a sunrise,”she suggested,“and then play it backwards. It'll look like a sunset.”

    　　“That's a very good idea!”the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said,“Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”

    　　The camera crew went out early the next morning end filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay (海湾). Then at nine o'clock they took it to the director.“Here it is, sir.”they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.

    　　They all went into the studio (摄影棚).“All right.”the director explained.“Now our hero and heroine are going to say good-bye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the‘sunset’behind them.”

    　　The“sunset”began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.

    　　So far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species(物种), and that’s just a small part of what probably exists on Earth．With so many plants, animals, fungi, and other organisms covering the planet, it can be tough to figure out what type of spider is crawling up your leg or what kind of bird just flew by．

    　　A soon-to-be-launched Website might help．An international team of researchers has announced the creation of a Web－based Encyclopedia of Life(EOL)．The project aims to catalogue every species on Earth in a single, easy-to-use reference guide．

    　　To get the encyclopedia started, the creators will use information from scientific databases that already exist．And eventually, in special sections of the site, nonscientists with specialized knowledge will join．Gardeners, for example, will be able to record the dates that their flowers first bloom each year．Bird-watchers will be able to input which birds they’ve seen and where．The technology for this kind of tool has only recently become available．

    　　As the EOL develops, you might find it useful for school projects．The site will have special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems in their neighborhoods．To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate, scientists will review much of the information added to it．People who visit the site will be able to choose to skip pages that haven’t been reviewed．

    　　Another convenient characteristic of the EOL is that you’ll be able to pick the level of detail you see to match your interests, age, and current knowledge．If you wanted to learn about polar bears for a science class report, for example, you could use the“novice”setting to get basic information about the animals．On the“expert”setting, on the other hand．you could get much more detailed information about the history, literature, and exploration of polar bears．

    　　It now takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species．The creators of the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new tool will speed that process．

    　　Keep an eye on www.eol.org．Pages will begin to go up sometime next year, and you might find them useful for your school reports．The EOL team might have the basics for all 1.8 million entries online as early as 2017．Someday, you might add your own notes．

    (1)

    What is implied in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?

    [　　]

    A．

    No one can become an expert on spiders and birds．

    B．

    So many spiders have crawled up your leg

    C．

    There are far more than 1.8 million living species．

    D．

    Scientists have named a lot of living species

    (2)

    Which of the following statements is TRUE?

    [　　]

    A．

    You can find information of all living species online in 2017．

    B．

    Nonscientists will be able to add their own notes to the website．

    C．

    The kids preparing school reports can not have access to the informat’0 n’

    D．

    You are not free to choose the amount of detailed information．

    (3)

    What does the underlined word“novice”probably mean in Paragraph 5?

    [　　]

    A．

    Beginner．

    B．

    Specialist．

    C．

    Scientist．

    D．

    Pupil．

    (4)

    Who are the intended readers of this passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Students．

    B．

    Researchers．

    C．

    Bird watchers or Gardeners．

    D．

    People in general

    (5)

    What is the best title for the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Exploring Polar Bears

    B．

    Visit Our Website Now

    C．

    How to Do School Projects

    D．
