A
I start a new hobby this year. My hobby is collecting insects(昆虫). I like insects. They are interesting, and they can be very beautiful.
I find insects in many different places, such as the grass around my house or the park near my school. When I see a new insect, I put
it in a glass bottle. I look at it very carefully. If it’s small, I use a magnifying glass(放大镜). Then I try to find out what kind of insect it is. I have a lot of books about insects to help me. After that, I draw a picture of it in my notebook. I also write its name, the date and where I find it. Finally, I take it back to the same place and let it go. I don’t keep it. Some day I want to be an entomologist. That’s a person who studies insects.Then my hobby will be my job.

解析：
1. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句“My hobby is collecting insects(昆虫).”，可直接得知作者的新爱好是收集昆虫，对应选项C。
2. 词义指代题。划线词it所在句子的前半部分提到“When I see a new insect”，逻辑上是把新发现的昆虫放进玻璃瓶，因此it指代的是这只新昆虫，对应选项A。
3. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“That's a person who studies insects.”，可知昆虫学家的研究对象是昆虫，四个选项里只有B选项的蝴蝶属于昆虫，因此选B。
4. 主旨大意题。全文围绕作者收集昆虫的爱好展开，介绍了爱好内容、观察昆虫的过程以及相关的未来理想，B、C、D选项都只是文章的局部细节，只有A选项“作者喜欢做的事”可以完整概括全文内容，对应选项A。
