Question

According to a national study, in the summer of 2013, the long-term(長期的) warm weather in the UK has made the number of butterflies increase.
Around 46,000 volunteers(志愿者) took part in the year’s Big Butterfly Count(統(tǒng)計), and they found 830,000 butterflies. Volunteers were asked to make a record. They would record how many times they found one of 21 different kinds of butterflies.
Later, the scientists used the records to find out how many butterflies of different kinds were found across the country. Then, they compared the results to the year before. They found that there was a rise in the number of 15 kinds of butterflies, and some of them went up by 50% compared to recent years. They said the increase in butterfly numbers was a result of warm weather.
However, scientists also said that the number of butterflies was in decline(下降) as a whole, and that we might not see the same result the next year.
Richard Fox, who works for Butterfly Conservation, said, “UK butterflies are in long-term decline. Studies have been done since the 1970s. They show that UK butterflies have declined in type and number.”
He added, “We must halt the long-term decline of these beautiful creatures(生物). The only way is by stopping the damage that has been done to the butterflies’ habitats(棲息地) across the UK.”

試題分析：本文敘述了根據(jù)一項全國性調(diào)查，在英國由于天氣變暖和了，蝴蝶的數(shù)量增加，我們?yōu)榱吮ＷC這些生物的數(shù)量。唯一的辦法是不能破壞它們的棲息地。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。由第二段Volunteers were asked to make a record. They would record how many times they found one of 21 different kinds of butterflies.可知志愿者被要求記錄每種蝴蝶的數(shù)目。可知選C。
小題2:細節(jié)理解題。通讀全文可知從這個研究中我們可以學(xué)到They found that there was a rise in the number of 15 kinds of butterflies,。可知選C。
小題3:詞義猜測題。由短文However, scientists also said that the number of butterflies was in decline(下降) as a whole, and that we might not see the same result the next year. 可知指代英國蝴蝶數(shù)量會增加。可知選D。
小題4:詞義猜測題。我們必須停止這些美麗的生物的長期下降（生物。故選A。
小題5:標(biāo)題歸納題。由整篇文章可知，本文主要是講天氣變暖蝴蝶的數(shù)量增加，故選D。
