【题干】Passenger pigeons（旅鸽） once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers．Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks（群） so large that they darkened the sky for hours．
It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point，there were more tban 3 bilbon passenger pigeons-a number equal t0 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States，making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world．Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller，a flock believed to be I mile wide and 320 miles（ about 515 kilometers）long was seen near Cincinnati．
Sadly，the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing．Where the birds were most abundant，people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands．Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain，waited until pigeons had settled to feed，then threw large nets over them，taking hundreds at a time．The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants．
By the closing decades of the 19th century，the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans' need for wood，which scattered（驱散） the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north，where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline．Soon the great flocks were gone，never to be seen again．
In 1897 ，the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons，but by then，no shable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years．The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County，Ohio，in 1900．For a time，a few birds survived under human care．The last of them，known affectionately as Mariha，died at the Cincinnati Zoological Carden on September 1，1914．
l．In the 18th and early 19th centuries，passenger pigeons ________．
A．were the biggest bird in the world
B．lived mainly in the south of America
C．did great harm to the natural environment
D．were the largest bird population in the US
2．tlhe underlined word "undoing"probably refers to the pigeons'________．
A．escape B．ruin
C．liberation D．evolution
3．What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons
A．To seek pleasure．
B．To save other birds．
C．To make money．
D．To protect crops．
4．What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan
A．It was ignored by the public．
B．It was declared too late．
C．It was unfair．
D．It was strict．
【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．B
【解析】1．推理判断题。根据第二段第一句话可知当时这种鸟的数量占据美国全部鸟类数量的24%到40%，可能是世界上最多的鸟，由此推断它是当时美国数量最多的鸟类，所以答案为D项。没有提及它们是世界上最大的鸟类，排除A项；也没有提及它们主要生活在美国的南部，排除B项；更没有提及它们给环境带来了巨大的危害，排除C项。
2．词义猜测题。根据后面的描述可知人们大量捕捉这种鸟，把它们卖到饭店。由此推断出这种鸟的数量众多导致了它们的毁灭。所以答案为B项。escape逃跑，避开；ruin毁坏，毁灭；liberation解放；evolution进化，发展。
3．细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句话The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants．可知人们主要是为了钱才大量屠杀这种鸟的，所以答案为C项。其他三项文中均未提及。
4．推理判断题。根据最后一段的描述可知尽管密歇根州于1897年通过了禁止屠杀旅鸽的法律，但是在以前的10年里人们已经没有见过有一定规模的鸟群飞过密歇根州了。由此推断出该法律颁布得太晚了，所以答案为B项。其他三项文中均未提及。

My 14-year-old son，John，and I spotted the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store．It stood out among big and old coats．It had beautiful tailoring and an unbelievable price： $ 28．I looked at my son and we both said nothing，but John's eyes shone． Dark，woolen topcoats were popular with teenage boys， but they could cost several hundred dollars if they were new．This coat was even better．John tried it on and tumed from side to side，eyeing himself in the mirror．The fit was perfect．
John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a big grin．" Did the kids like your coat " I asked．"They loved it，" he said．
Over the next few weeks，John changed．He was polite，less argumentative，more thoughtful，and on the whole much happier． "Good dinner，Mom，" he would say every evening．Without a word of objection he would carry in wood for the stove．One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner，John， who always put things off，said，"You're right．I guess I will．" When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers，she joked that the coat must have changed him．
John and I both know we should never mistake a person's clothes for the real person within them．But there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see，for practicing standards of excellence in thought，speech，and behavior， and for matching what is on the inside to what is on the outside．

It is sometimes said that strange flying objects have been seen high up in the sky． People call these strange objects Unidentified Flying Objects （UFOs）．These UFOs caused a lot of interest．Some of the reports about them are difficult to believe．Some have been explained in scientific ways． Others have never been explained． Here is an account of UFOs from a report．
Dennis Burdens，who wrote an article，tells us that he once saw a UFO himself．He was having dinner one night with a friend near Tripoli，Libya，and after dinner the two men walked across a yard to his room to look at some papers．Burdens noticed that the moon looked strange that night．
"It wasn't the moon，" was the reply．
They watched the light and saw that it was moving．It seemed to be an object rather like a big plate．In some ways it looked like smoke with a light on it， but it wasn't smoke because it didn't change its shape．it was moving in a regular way．That is to say，it didn't go suddenly faster or more slowly，and it didn't go higher or lower．So the two men decided that there must be men in it．
After that，Burdens said that he felt eyes looking at him．He was being watched in the darkness．
When it was nearer，they noticed that the bottom parts were brighter than the top．The bottom was yellow and the top red．Then the object suddenly tumed away and left Libya，moving very fast．
On a later day Burdens talked to other people about it，and he found some who had seen it．They all described it in the same way． Could they all be mistaken

We met in a crowded showroom fifteen years ago．As I inched forward I eyed him with suspicion， unsure what to make of this stranger．A salesman made the proper introductions and although we got to know each other，I didn't trust him．I call him Super．I would find myself staring at him，wondering what secrets he held．
I found myself spending more and more time with Super， getting to know him and learning to trust him．My other friends soon became a little jealous，stating that I spent too much time with him． It was true，but I didn't feel guilty，for I could just be myself with him．He didn't care about my appearance，pay and failure．None of these things mattered to him．
Then one day he said he was going to show me the world．He said that I could ask to go anywhere．When I asked him to show me New York，he didn't hesitate．He showed me the bright lights of Broadway，the majestic Statue of Liberty and so much more．
Late at night we played games． Sometimes I won， and sometimes he did．It didn't matter because we had fun．Through him I met other people，men and women I never would have met if it wasn't for him．
Then suddenly he became sick．He was unable to do anything and I felt so helpless because I didn't know what was wrong．But I knew those who could．I paced around the room while he was examined．What if it was something serious What if he died I cried but luckily he was fine again．
I looked at him and saw my companion，teacher，instructor， travel guide and so much more．He was my friend，my best friend．He is my computer．
47．The author didn't believe Super eyen if he knew him better as he thought ________．
A．the salesman was always cheating customers these days
B．Super had limited power since he was only a machine
C．he would forget the salesman's instructions in future
D．his money spent on him wasn't good for the value
48．Why did the author's other friends envy Super
A．Because Super helps the author do his housework．
B．Because the author spent so much money on it．
C．Because the author spent so much time on it．
D．Because the author trust nobody but Super．
49．The underlined sentence most probably implies________．

D．Super had the power to speak out like an ordinary person

【答案】47．B 48．C 49．A 50．C
【解析】语篇解读 作者以拟人、幽默的口吻介绍了自己最好的朋友——电脑。
47．细节理解题。第一段最后一句话的wondering what secrets he held说明作者对这个被售货员吹嘘得很好的东西的威力表示怀疑。
48．细节理解题。第二段中的stating that I spent too much time with him说明作者的朋友们忌妒的原因是因为他花在Super身上的时间太多了。
49．推理判断题。画线句中的“to show me the world”和下一句话“He said that I could ask to go anywhere”说明正是因为在互联网的帮助下，作者才能了解他想要了解的一切。
50．推理判断题。第五段的“because I didn't know what was wrong”说明作者感到无助是因为对Super的“病因”一无所知。而B项和本段的第三句话But I knew those who could．相矛盾。
书面表达

Studying Abroad
In recent years，studying abroad has been popular with Chinese high school students．Tens of thousands of them have gone to foreign countries to study．Many students are trying their best to go abroad． As for this，different people have different opinions．
There are many advantages in studying abroad．First，students who study abroad can make friends with people of different cultures． Second，they can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology in foreign countries．Third，they can improve their foreign languages more quickly．
On the other hand，there are some disadvantages．Most of the students are too young to live by themselves without any living experience． Moreover， being far away from their motherland， they may feel lonely and homesick．And further more，the high cost is also a problem for common families．
In my opinion，for the students who want to study abroad，they can ask teachers or students who have studied abroad for advice and they should try to get everything ready before attending school abroad．

Recently an online survey on traveling has been conducted． In the survey， people are asked about how often and why they travel， and the results are as follows．
Chart 1 shows that 33% of the people often go traveling， the reason for which lies in the fact that they have enough time and money． Nearly half of the people do it now and then， while those who seldom go out to travel account for 21%．
As is shown in Chart 2， people travel for different reasons．The largest percentage of people， about 48%，put enjoying beautiful natural scenery in the first place for their travel． Over a quarter of them enjoy learning about culture and customs and 20% of them prefer to visit places of interest． Also there are a small number of people who travel mainly for shopping．
As for me， traveling is not only a good way to relax and enjoy myself but also a chance to broaden my horizons．
