• 3．This summer，as the capital of England became warmer than before，there has been many stories from Londoners experiencing odd insect bites.Even the London Underground has its own species of mosquito with a particular appetite for human blood.
     The main insects out for your blood in London are mosquitoes and horseflies （马蝇）.And，as that Space song said，the females of these species are more deadly than the males，being the ones that seek out animal blood as extra nutrition for their eggs.Horseflies have a particularly cruel bite using their jaws to bite into our skin like a carving knife until they break a blood vessel （血管）.Mosquitoes are more secret attacker，biting us very precisely with their needle-sharp mouth.
     In the UK，these insects are usually harmless.The key thing to know about these insects is that they're far more active in warm weather. "Insects have a special and specific relationship with heat，" says Vicki Sims from Lady Bug Pest Control. "The rise in temperature sees insects grow faster.Year on year，many species are altering their behaviour and biology to follow the trends of the seasons." So，what does this mean for the state of our skin？Long and warm London summers mean we may see more of the insects we expect，but some new ones we don't. "The only thing separating us from species like mosquitoes that carry public health risks in other parts of the world，is climate，geography and more than a little luck，" says Sims.
     Concerns about increase of alien species in the UK are growing.Usually arriving with international shipments，traditionally "insect species brought over would die out relatively quickly because of our cold weather，" says Natalie Bungay from the British Pest Control Association. "But as the weather warms up there's more chance that they'll survive and become a problem，so effective measures should be taken as soon as possible."
  
  （1）What is the major function of paragraph 1？

  
  A．To introduce the main topic.
  B．To clarify the author's stand.
  C．To arouse the readers' concern.
  D．To summarize the whole text.
  （2）Why do female insects favour animal blood？

  
  A．They become hungry more easily.
  B．They have stronger mouths.
  C．They are more sensitive to blood.
  D．They need more nutrition for eggs.
  （3）What do we know from the third paragraph？

  
  A．The insects grow fast in warm weather.
  B．New species will increase in cold weather.
  C．Most species can't adapt to the changing climate.
  D．We can only depend on luck to avoid potentially harmful insects.
  （4）What is Natalie Bungay's attitude towards the rise of temperature？

  
  A．Optimistic.
  B．Worried.
  C．Unconcerned.
  D．Confused.

• 9．阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
  Cathy，my mom，whose pet phrase（口头禅）was "Never give up"，was our family's beacon of posjye.aiivjye.aiy.It was not a title she earned without concerted（一致的）effort，however.When she was only thirty years old，her husband was killed in a car accident and she was left to raise me alone.
      My mom could have lived under a black cloud.Instead，she challenged herself to find joy every day.Leading by example，Mom taught me just how much one could accomplish with a positive attitude.She has taken the same approach in her relationship with her grandchildren--Max and Charley.
      One hot summer afternoon，my mom and her two grandsons，having spent two hours building sand castles and collecting sea shells on the beach，sank into their beach chairs to have a rest.How they longed for delicious ice cream to cool themselves，especially the two kids!
      Suddenly，my mom heard the familiar loud clang（叮当声） of the ice-cream man bell from her beach chair.She turned quickly and saw him briefly，spotting his distinctive green shirt and catching the gleam of his waving bell before he turned and disappeared over the dunes （沙丘）.
      Happily，the ice-cream man's visit was a daily occurrence at the beach，although the lag time between the sound of his bell and the departure of his truck was not long.One must be quick enough to catch him to buy the ice cream.
      Max and Charley were in great disappointment when they didn't catch him in time that day because they really wanted to have a taste of those cool ice-creams.That was until my mom's eyes sparkled and she said to the kids， "Never give up!" She explained to the kids that the truck might be gone，but they should be able to catch him up at its next stop.And the kids agreed immediately.
  注意：
  （1）续写词数应为150左右；
  （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
  Paragraph 1：So Max and Charley，accompanied by my mom，began their mission.
  ______
