方法点拨 根据设空的位置判断：设空在段首，一般为段落的主题句；设空在中间，由前后句的关系确定答案；设空在段尾，一般为总结句或承上启下的过渡句。本题的设空在段首，是本段的总起句，根据下文“Some types of butterflies lay only one egg at a time.”可知，此处介绍的是蝴蝶的产卵情况。选项B“蝴蝶在植物上产卵”符合语境。
答案 B

答案： B

方法点拨 英语语篇中代词出现的频率极高，代词用于指代前面提及的名词或句子，巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。本题空后一句话中有个关键短语one of them，them指代前文出现过的人，且是复数，只有C选项中的“Many people”符合要求。
答案 C

答案： C

B.Most people don’t want to live in Moscow.
C.Others say they are a Russian idea.
D.The Red Square is as famous as Tian’anmen Square.
E.They became popular in some northern European countries.
方法点拨 为了使行文连贯、结构清晰，文章中常常会出现一些表逻辑关系的词语。常考以下几种逻辑关系：①转折/让步关系，标志词有but、however、yet、though、although、even if、even though等。②解释/例证关系，标志词有that is to say、in other words、for example、such as等。③并列/递进关系，如and、also、besides、what’s more等。本题结合上文“Some people say there are too many...”及下文“That is because...”可知，上句与所填句子是转折关系，选项中只有A项含表转折关系的词but，代入后通读整段，逻辑合理。
答案 A

答案： A
