2016年高考英语复习专题练习及答案:名词性从句

Scientists plan to fit sensors on 5,000 bees in the southern island state of Tasmania over the Australian summer. The radio frequency identification sensors work like an electronic tag for cars on a toll road, recording when insects pass a checkpoint. That will allow scientists to build a three­dimensional(三维) image of the insects' movements, a process described as “swarm sensing”.

The scientists are working on shrinking the sensor to 1 mm square so they can be attached to smaller insects, including mosquitoes.

1.Why did the Australian scientists track the honey bees?

A. To attach tiny sensors to the small bodies.

B. To make experiments on these such bees.

C. To find what has caused the death of bees.

D. To spread some kind of disease to insects.

2.Some bees disappear from their hives ________.

A. due to the colony collapse disorder

B. because of being infected of illness

C. due to chips glued to their bodies

D. because of the terrible environment

3.Which is the benefit of the study?

A. To increase the bee population.

B. To help the farmers against disasters.

C. To improve our living conditions.

D. To stop any harmful insects invading.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. All the insects' movements disturb the life of bees.

B. Fewer and fewer honey bees are living in Australia.

C. Australian scientists track bees to stop diseases.

D. Advanced technology is used on honey bees.

B

Researchers have discovered a previously undocumented species of all-female lizard (蜥蜴) that can reproduce itself by cloning.

Leiolepis ngovantrii is a small lizard found only in the Mekong River delta in south Vietnam.

The species was discovered by a Vietnamese scientist who came across tanks full of them at small restaurants in villages in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province.

The scientist, Ngo Van Tri of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, became intrigued when he noticed that all of the lizards appeared to be female.

He contacted an American colleague about what he had seen who came out to assess the findings.

Dr Lee Grismer, a professor at La Sierra University in Riverside, California, and his son, Jesse Grismer, a doctoral candidate, flew to Hanoi and travelled to a little restaurant two-day's trip away where the owner had promised to set aside some of the lizards to be studied.
