阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A ★
When my son, Justin, was four, he found a cater-pillar (毛虫) and put it in a jar. Each day he fed it with fresh grass and leaves. In a few weeks the caterpillar was fat and ready to sleep. One morning we discovered the caterpillar wrapped in a cocoon (茧). It hung from the top of the jar, an example of one of nature’s wonders.
Justin was excited. To him it was like Christmas. He knew a moth (蛾) or butterfly was about to be born, but he didn’t know what kind. He was curious to know what gift nature was about to give him.
“Dad!” as he ran to me one day. “Something’s happening. Come see!”
He led me to his room. The cocoon had become clear. We could clearly see the wings of the unborn. A few days later, a beautiful black moth broke free from its silky cage and began to lay eggs on the leaves of grass, completing the life cycle of the little caterpillar.
The next day, I advised my young son it was time to set the moth free. He took the jar outside, opened it, and the little moth flew out. It circled the yard twice, came back, and landed on Justin’s arm. He picked it up, tossed(轻抛) it in the air, and the moth repeated its flight pattern. He tried over and over to set it free, but each time it would return to his arm.
Justin gave up. He returned his little pet to the jar. The next day he tried to set it free again, and after a few return flights to his arm, the moth finally flew off into the tall grass.
Like a person, I believe the moth was afraid to leave what it was comfortable with. It wanted to stay with something familiar, afraid to move on and experience new things.
Humans are creatures of habit. We hate change. However, if we hadn’t moved, we would not have ex-perienced many new things.
56. According to the passage, what was Justin anxious to know?
A. Whether the caterpillar would change into a moth or a butterfly.
B. What gift he would receive for Christmas from his dad.
C. Why the caterpillar could hang from the top of the jar.
D. How the cocoon had become clear one day.
57. The thing that means the end of the little caterpil-lar’s life cycle is that ______.
A. it was wrapped in a cocoon
B. the moth began to lay eggs
C. the cocoon became clear
D. the moth was born from the cocoon
58. The first time Justin set the moth free, it ______.
A. flew off into the tall grass immediately
B. flew into the jar itself after flying a while
C. returned to Justin after circling the yard
D. came back into the jar and then flew away
59. What can we learn about the author from the pas-sage?
A. He thinks we had better not change our habit.
B. He didn’t allow his son to have the moth as a pet.
C. He thinks the moth is not brave enough.
D. He thinks it necessary to experience new things.
B ★★
Tracy Caulkins is known as the first American to set an American record and win an American title in each of four swimming strokes: breaststroke, butterfly, backstroke, freestyle.
Tracy Caulkins was born in Minnesota and lived in Iowa until she was six. She began swimming when she was eight, after the family had moved to Nashville, Tennessee. While unwilling at first to swim in cold water or get her face wet, she began to train in earnest (认真地) as her talent became clear. Though her father worked for the public schools, the family sent her to a private school when the public schools could not accommodate (适应) her training schedule.
At age 13, Tracy Caulkins took part in the trials for the 1976 Olympics, but did not make the team. She continued to win national and international titles, and was disappointed in 1980 when the U.S. didn’t attend the Moscow Olympics. She continued to train and compete.

After that she retired from swimming, and was a commentator (解说员) for swimming events as well as taking advantage of her fame to do business.
Tracy Caulkins married Australian swimmer, Mark Stockwell, in 1991, their romance having begun at the 1984 Olympics when he jumped into a warm-up pool to introduce himself.

Sometimes life gets a little dull. What used to be fun and different becomes boring. That is the time to look for something new. It is the time for a big idea to get your mind off everyday life. So why not search for extraterrestrial (地球外的) intelligence? Or even better, why not get your computer to do it for you?
Over two million people have joined the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project. Based in California, the SETI project analyzes (分析) information taken from a huge radio telescope (望远镜) based in South America. Its task is to look for signals from outer space that might prove that there is life on other planets.
Processing (处理) this information is far too big a job for one computer. So the SETI project workers divide the work among volunteers who visit their web-site. Each computer gets some information to work out from the SETI network through the Internet. This process is often known as “metacomputing”.
It is a wonderful thought. You are sleeping, eating a meal or going out with friends. All this time, your computer is searching the stars for signs that might show something is out there trying to get in touch. Volunteers are proud of working with the SETI project. It shows that they understand the potential (潜能) of computing. They know that it is more than just a way of working or playing games.
Metacomputing may also be creating intelligence as well as looking for it. This idea is based on the theory that human intelligence is created by the way in which different parts of the brain communicate with each other. As the saying goes, “The whole is more than the sum of its parts.” People who join the SETI project sometimes wonder whether their computer will become part of a huge network that has learned to think for itself.
64. Which of the following shows the order in which the SETI project works?
A. Radio telescope → SETI website → Volunteers’ computers → SETI base
B. Radio telescope → SETI base → SETI website → Volunteers’ computers
C. SETI base → SETI website → Volunteers’ computers → Radio telescope
D. SETI base → Radio telescope → SETI website → Volunteers’ computers
65. According to the author, metacomputing may be creating intelligence ______.
A. because human beings are intelligent
B. because a computer works as the brain does
C. because of a network of many computers
D. because of the number of computers
66. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. extraterrestrial intelligence
B. human intelligence C. the SETI project
D. metacomputing
67. The passage mainly tells us about a new way ______.
A. to work on the computer
B. to work and play games
C. to search for life outside the earth
D. to make life interesting and different
D ★★★
Nature responds to climate change. To understand it, we need to monitor key life cycle events — flowering, the appearance of leaves, the first frog calls of the spring — all around the world. But scientists can’t be everywhere so they’re turning to non-scientists, some-times called citizen scientists, for help.
A group of scientists and educators launched (发起) an organization last year called the National Phenology Network. “Phenology” is what scientists call the study of the timing of events in nature.
One of the group’s first efforts depends on scientists and non-scientists alike to collect data (数据) about plant flowering and leafing every year. The pro-gram, called Project BudBurst, collects life cycle data on different kinds of common plants from across the United States.
“People don’t have to be plant experts — they just have to look around and see what’s in their neighborhood,” says Jennifer Schwartz, an adviser with the project. “As we collect this data, we’ll be able to predict how plants and communities of plants and animals will respond as the climate changes.”
That data will help scientists predict not only how natural communities may change but also how these changes will affect people.
