A remarkable variety of insects live in this planetMore species of insects exist than all other animalspecies together. Insects have survived on earth formore than 300 million years, and may possess theability to survive for millions more.
Insects can be found almost everywhere -- on thehighest mountains and on the bottom of rushingstreams, in the cold South Pole and in bubbling hot springs. They dig through the ground,jump and sing in the trees,and run and dance in the air. They come in many different colorsand various shapes. Insects are extremely useful to humans, pollinating (授粉)our crops aswell as flowers in meadows, forests, deserts and otherareas. But licks and some insects, such asmosquitoes and fleas, can transmit disease.
There are many reasons why insects are so successful at surviving. Their amazing ability toadapt permits them to live in
extreme ranges of temperatures and environments. The oneplace they have not yet been found to any
major extent is in the open oceans. Insects cansurvive on a wide range, of natural and artificial foods —paint, pepper, glue, books, grain,cotton，other insects, plants and animals Because they are small they can hide in tiny spaces.
A strong, hard but flexible shell covers their soft organs and is resistant to chemicals, waterand physical impact. Their wings give them the option of flying away from dangeroussituations or toward food or males. Also, insects have an enormous reproductive capacity: AnAfrican ant queen can lay as many as 43,000 eggs a day. Another reason for their success is the strategy of protective color. An insect may be rightbefore our eyes, but nearly invisible because it is cleverly disguised like a green leaf, lump ofbrown soil, gray lichen (青苔),a seed or some other natural object Some insects use bright, boldcolors to send warning signalsthat they taste bad,sting or are poison.Others have wingpatterns that look like the eyes of a huge predator, bitter-tasting insects; hungry enemies arefooled into avoiding them.社区工作者考试

参考答案
2.[B] 事实细节题。此题考察对简单句的理解。第4段第1句指出了答案。protect…from…是对resistant to的同义替换。
3.[B] 推理推断题。此题考察对长句的理解。最终一段第2句中的nearly invisible说明昆虫伪装是为了不被发觉，因此B为正确选项。其他选项虽然都是昆虫伪装的目的，但都与伪装成自然物体无关。
4.[D] 推理推断题。此题考察对含有分词构造句子的理解。依据第2段倒数第2句中的useful及分词构造pollinating可推断昆虫对植物的生长有好处。选项A、B、C中都有any，过于肯定。由第3段第2、3句可知选项A不对。文章虽在开头指出昆虫存活的年月长远，但全文未提到它是存活时间最长的生物，所以选项B错误。至于昆虫的食物，第3段倒数
第2句有提及，但只是a wide range of，由此可排解选项C。
5.[B] 主旨大意题。本文前两段首先描述了昆虫生存了很长的时间，并能在各种地方生长，然后引出文章要争论的重点，即昆虫为什么能胜利存活。第3段第1句为本文的中心句，因此此题正确选项为B。

A new analysis of federal money that public schools receive for low-income students shows that a record number of the nation’s school districts will receive less in the coming academic year than they did for theone just ended.
For the 2005-2006 school year, spending under the Department of Education’s Title I program, which helps low-achieving children in high-poverty areas, is increasing by 3.2 percent, to $12.6 billion. But because of population shifts, growing numbers of poor children, newer census data and complex formulas that determine how the money is divided, more than two-thirds of the districts, or 8,843, will not receive as much financing as before.
The analysis, based on data from the department, was made by the Center on Education Policy, a group advocating for public schools. A similar study by the group last year showed that 55 percent of the schools would receive less money than they did in
