2．Entering the garden，I found it ________ with ________ leaves.
A．covering；fallen B．covered；falling
C．covering；falling D．covered；fallen

解析 考查分词。it 和cover之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词作宾补，排解A、C两项；fallen leaves指已经落下的叶子，而falling leaves指正在下落的叶子，不合题意。

George Gershwin, born in 1998, was one of America's greatest composers.He published his first song when he was eighteen years old.During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.
Many of Gershwin's songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City.These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s.Many of his songs have remained popular as ever.Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way－from jazz to country.
In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music.Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music.Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it.And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue.Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert.The audience were thrilled when they heard his music.It made him world－famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.
In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris.He applied to study composition (作曲)with the well－known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him.She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz－influenced style.While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris.When it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music.Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring.But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States.It still remains one of his most famous works.
George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer.He was only thirty－nine years old.Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages.People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.

B
Scientists from Hebrew University in Israeli，developed the sugary bait(诱饵) by combining fruit juice oils and boric acid(硼酸)．The fruit juice catches the attention of the mosquitoes.Boric acid kills the malaria parasite(寄生虫) they carry when they eat it.
The scientists took the sweet bait of boric acid to the West African nation of Mali.They sprayed(喷洒) it on plants near man－made ponds.Villagers use water from the ponds during the dry season.But the area is also home to the mosquitoes that carry the most deadly malaria.
The researchers also placed a sweet－smelling spray on grasses near other ponds.But that spray contained no boric acid.
Both substances also contained a substance that would mark any mosquito that came in contact with it.In this way the scientists could count the mosquitoes that fed on the bait.
Yosef Schlein is an expert on insects that affect human health.Professor Schlein led the sweet bait research.He says 38 days of results show the sweet bait of boric acid proved very effective at killing mosquitoes.
Yosef Schlein said，“In Mali，we got down some 80%，the females，and 90% of the males.But the area is full of little ponds there，so it is impossible to stop mosquitoes from flying from an untreated pond to a treated pond.”
At the ponds treated only with the sweet－smelling bait，Professor Schlein says，more than 75% of mosquitoes fed on the false bait.He says most people do not know that female mosquitoes feed on sweet plant nectar to survive.Their blood feeding is part of reproduction.
The Israeli researchers now hope to develop a bait that is even more desirable to the malaria mosquitoes.
Boric acid is generally safe for human beings and other mammals.Scientists might be able to develop a mosquito bait for enclosed spaces.Boric acid has been used to kill other insects including cockroaches，termites and ants inside homes since the middle of last century.
A report about the sweet bait of malaria mosquito was published in Malaria Journal.
46．Why did the scientists spray the sugary bait on plants near the ponds?
A．There are mosquitoes near the ponds.
B．There are too many insects on the plants.
C．Villagers get drinking water from the ponds.
D．The sugary bait works better with water present.
答案 A

47．What plays a role in counting the mosquitoes feeding on the bait?
A．The fruit juice. B．A certain substance.
C．Boric acid. D．Sweet plant nectar.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。依据第四段内容可知，甜味的诱饵中有一种物质，可以给来觅食的蚊子做上标记，这样能让争辩者计算蚊子的数量。
48．How does Yosef Schlein prove the sweet boric acid bait is effective?
A．He offers some examples.
B．He provides some figures.
C．He analyzes causes and effects.
D．He lists some unknown facts.
答案 B
解析 推理推断题。依据第六、七段的内容可知，Yosef Schlein在文中供应了一些数字，证明白这种甜味
