But for pets new to Marlborough, help is at hand.Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café， in Blenheim, have joined forces to help welcome pets and their people to the region with a fortnightly morning tea. They hope the morning teas will get tails and tongues wagging as well as giving advice on how to make the move smoother.Railway Café owner Leanne Harris came up with the innovative (創(chuàng)新的) plan as a way to help welcome people to the area. Leanne moved to Marlborough from Auckland two years ago and said she initially struggled to find friends and feel part of the community. “Coming from Auckland I thought people would open their doors and that there would be neighbours calling round with cake. I expected people to come to me and, of course, it wasn't like that. I did get lonely. I hope to save newcomers having to wait as long as I did to feel part of it all. I would like to welcome them to the town.”Free platters of sandwiches, cakes and other goodies will be on offer, for the people, while there will be special handmade yoghurt and banana treats for the dogs. The morning teas will take place in the covered area at the back of the popular café beside the railway station off Grove Rd. Leanne said she was happy to devote both her time and effort into giving back to the community and felt the venture was a great fit with the SPCA. “Volunteering is such an amazing thing to do and it changed things for me completely, and I met some amazing people with similar interests.”SPCA Op Shop manager Karina Greenall, originally from the United Kingdom, said she also wanted to help. “I can give advice on how to resettle pets, the best parks to go to, where the best walks are and where the vet centers are in town. There will be volunteering opportunities too for people where they can help out and hopefully make friends too.”篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了馬爾堡一家咖啡店的老板想出的一個主意：通過提供上午茶，來幫助剛來到這個地方定居的人們和寵物更好地適應(yīng)這里的生活。4How will Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café help new pets?ABy offering morning teas.BBy giving advice to them.CBy communicating with them.DBy providing accommodation to them.答案：A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段首句“Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café， in Blenheim, have joined forces to help welcome pets and their people to the region with a fortnightly morning tea.”可知，這家咖啡館會通過提供上午茶來幫助剛來到這個地方的寵物和定居者。故選A。5What was Leanne's plan originally intended for?ASaving animals.BHelping newcomers.CMaking more friends.DExpanding her business.答案：B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后兩句“I hope to save newcomers having to wait as long as I did to feel part of it all.

In the late summer and early autumn, the butterflies fly south, from Canada and the United States' mainland to Mexico. But Darlene Burgess still keeps seeing the bright, colorful insects in Canada, which greatly surprises her.Darlene Burgess notices a large number of monarch butterflies at Point Pelee National Park in Ontario, Canada, which attract a lot of visitors. “Nice as this is to see, I really wish I wouldn't see it because they're running out of time，” she said. “It's really not good for them.” Their large numbers are not normal for late October. Monarchs normally arrive in Mexico around November 1st.There are a few reasons why the monarchs did not fly south when they were supposed to. Some monarchs were born late. Some did not move south because of warm weather. Others could not fly south because of strong winds that lasted for weeks. Now, they may be stuck because temperatures are starting to fall. Elizabeth Howard is a biologist and director of a nonprofit group called Journey North. She said the Monarch's muscles do not work well when temperatures go below 15 degrees Celsius.“Monarchs have faced a number of problems in recent years. Habitat loss, climate change, and chemical pesticides have hurt the butterfly population, but it seemed that the climate change contributed most to the problems，” said Lincoln Brower, a biology professor at Sweet Briar College. Brower has been studying the butterflies since 1954. The colorful creatures also have a decreasing food supply, especially in the form of milkweed, which are the only food they can eat when they are caterpillars (毛蟲)篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇新聞報道。對于許多美國人來說，帝王蝶預(yù)示著季節(jié)的變化。但如今，帝王蝶卻因氣候變化等因素的影響而改變了遷徙的習(xí)慣。8Why does Darlene Burgess feel surprised?AShe feels the season has greatly changed.BShe spots many colorful butterflies in Canada.CMany monarch butterflies don't fly to America.DA lot of monarch butterflies don't leave Canada in autumn.答案：D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句“But Darlene Burgess still keeps seeing the bright, colorful insects in Canada, which greatly surprises her.”可知，達(dá)琳·伯吉斯仍在加拿大的秋天看到帝王蝶，這個現(xiàn)象使她感到奇怪。故選D項。9What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AMany butterflies appear in late October.BThe monarch butterflies are bright and colorful.CThe number of monarch butterflies is increasing.DA lot of monarch butterflies make a beautiful scene.答案：D指代判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段第一句“Darlene Burgess notices a large number of monarch butterflies at Point Pelee National Park in Ontario, Canada, which attract a lot of visitors.”可知，大量帝王蝶在位于安大略的皮利角國家公園飛舞，吸引了大批游客。由此可猜測，此處的this應(yīng)指代上一句提到的這一景象。故選D項。10What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?AThe habits of the monarch butterflies.BThe changes of the monarch butterflies.CSome reasons affecting the monarch butterflies.DThe living conditions of the monarch butterflies.答案：C段落大意題。文章第三段第一句“There are a few reasons why the monarchs did not fly south when they were supposed to.”為本段的主題句，指出帝王蝶在本該飛往南方時卻選擇留下有幾個原因，下文具體列舉了各種理由。故選C項。11What has most probably caused monarch butterflies' problems?AHabitat loss. BClimate change.CFood shortage. DChemical pesticides.答案：B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的“Monarchs have faced a number of problems in recent years.
