【答案】
【1】invited
【2】kitchen
【3】need
【4】few
【5】suddenly
【6】Everyone
【7】comfortable
【解析】
試題分析:本文記敘了美國女孩Amy在好朋友Tony(華僑)家參加家宴的有趣故事。在Tony家里,Amy幫著整理餐桌、擺放餐具,學習使用筷子,吃中餐,被贈予簽語餅干,從而體驗了一次美味的晚餐。
【1】句意:他的家人每周聚在一起吃一頓傳統(tǒng)的中餐。上周Tony邀請了他的朋友Amy來參加。Amy是美國女孩,能參加華僑家庭的聚餐,當然是“被邀請”的。結(jié)合首字母i的提示,故答案為:invited。
【2】句意:一家人正用熱油烹調(diào)蔬菜,廚房里彌漫著許多好聞的氣味。做菜當然是在廚房里,根據(jù)句意和首字母k的提示,可知答案為:kitchen。
【3】句意“哦,你不需要(刀子和叉子)這些東西。”托尼解釋道,“我會告訴你怎樣使用筷子的。別擔心!”上文中Amy問刀叉在哪兒,而Tony要教她使用筷子,所以Tony告訴Amy用不著刀叉。根據(jù)首字母n的提示,故答案為:need。
【4】句意:艾米端的烤鴨。這是她能認識的少數(shù)幾道菜之一。由于是中餐,對于不熟悉中國菜的Amy來說,她能夠認出自己所端的是烤鴨,肯定是少數(shù)。根據(jù)首字母f的提示,故答案為:few。
【5】句意:正當她用筷子拿起一塊雞肉時,手指突然失去控制,雞肉漫過餐桌飛了出去。Amy初次使用筷子,很不熟練。雞肉飛脫筷子,顯然是突發(fā)事件。根據(jù)首字母s的提示,答案應(yīng)為:suddenly。
【6】句意:桌上的每個人都笑了。Amy的雞肉脫筷而飛,出乎大家的意料,引得哄堂大笑。結(jié)合句意和首字母e的提示。故答案為:Everyone。
【7】句意:Tony的父親慈祥地拿出一副刀叉,把它們交給Amy。Amy覺得舒服多了,她輕松地吃完了剩下的晚餐。換回了熟悉的刀叉,自然比用筷子舒服。結(jié)合句意和首字母提示可知,答案為:comfortable。

【題目】Butterflies at Risk
What's causing problems for these beautiful insects?
Something is harming the monarchs. One of the largest butterflies in North America, monarchs are famous for their long migrations(遷徙)covering thousands of miles. Yet the number of monarchs is dropping. Bad weather conditions, putting the butterfly population in danger. Some butterfly experts say that the number of monarch butterflies has been cut by 25 percent. In recent years, unusually cold temperatures and rain have caused monarchs to die in large numbers. These conditions have also caused new butterflies not to hatch(孵化).
Will they return?
Monarchs are very sensitive(敏感的)to change because of the long distances they travel. They cover thousands of miles each year, flying between their winter homes in Mexico or Southern California and their summer homes in the Midwest. Other animals also migrate. And many travel much farther. A bird called the Arctic tern goes round trip between the Arctic and the Antarctic every year. Like the Arctic tern, a type of gray whale has a long migration. It travels 12,400 miles from Baia California in Mexico to waters off Alaska and back. The longest migration ever recorded is by the sooty shearwater. Every year this bird flies 40, 000 miles from New Zealand to the northern part of the Pacific Ocean to find food.
The monarchs don't travel as far as animals like the Arctic tern and the sooty shearwater, but their journey isn't safe. Every year as many as 100 million monarch butterflies leave Mexico for the first leg of the migration. It's hard to imagine that such a large number might be in danger. Yet many scientists tell us that the danger is very real.
In Mexico people are destroying the natural environment. They cut down the trees where millions of monarchs. spend the winter and use chemicals to kill the milkweed, the monarch's favourite food. Monarchs spend the winter in Mexico and California. In both places, development is destroying these winter homes. Unless steps are taken to protect their habitats, the monarchs' migration could become a thing of the past.
"If we lose the whole migration, we lose one of the nation's most magnificent phenomena, " said Chip Taylor, a professor at the University of Kansas. These butterflies are the symbol of richness of biological diversity(生物多樣性).
【1】Are monarch butterflies famous for their long migrations?
【2】What are putting the butterfly population in danger?
【3】Where are monarchs' winter homes?
【4】In Paragraph 2, what animal has the longest migration?
【5】What can people do to protect monarch butterflies?
