Monarch butterflies, the large origin black insects, are a common summer sight in the northern United States and Canada. They brighten in parks and gardens as they fly among the flowers. What makes monarch butterflies particularly interesting is they migrate—all the way to California or Mexico and back. They are thought to be the only insect that does this. Every year and the late summer, monarchs begin their migration to the south. Those heading for Mexico go first for the Louisiana-Mississippi region. Then they fly across the Gulf of Mexico into Texas. Once in Mexico, they establish themselves in one of about 15 sites in a mountain forest. Each site provides a winter home for millions of monarchs. The butterflies are so numerous that they often cover entire trees. When spring comes, they begin their long journey north. The question is often asked whether every butterfly makes the round trip journey every year. And the answer is no. The average monarch lives about nine months. So one flying north might lay eggs in Louisiana and then die. The eggs of that generation may be found in Kentucky; the eggs of the next generation may end up in Wisconsin or Michigan. The last generation of the season about the fourth will make the journey back to Mexico and restart the cycle. Scientists learn about monarch butterflies’ migration by capturing and placing identifying tags on the insects. By recapturing a tagged monarch and noting where it came from, the next scientist can figure out things like butterfly’s age and its routine.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
12. What is unique about the monarch butterflies according to the speaker?
13. Where do monarch butterflies settle at the end of the migration?
14. What does the speaker say about monarch butterflies’ reproduction?

C、Each generation in a cycle lays eggs at a different place.
D、Only the strongest can reach their destination to lay eggs.
答案
C
解析
选项是关于 They 产卵的情况。短文中提到 monarch butterflies 向北飞行,它们可能在路易斯安那州产卵后死亡。下一代的卵可能出现在肯塔基州,再下一代的卵可能出现在威斯康辛州和密歇根州。本季的最后一代可能会返回到墨西哥,然后开始新一轮的循环。由此可以推断出正确答案是C)。
