Every day after school, Reuben started his plan. Cold and hungry, Reuben wandered around, searching for nail bags carefully from one street to another. To save more money, the determined boy even decided to deliver papers on the early morning. Every coin he won went to a soda tin, his treasured “bank”, and then all the tiredness disappeared magically. Each time he passed by the brooch in the shop window would remind him what he did was worthwhile. Day by day, his soda tin became heavier and heavier. Six weeks passed before he even knew it. Then approached the Christmas Eve.
Finally, the time came! Reuben stole into his room and cautiously took out the soda tin, poured all the coins out and began to count. Five dollars and twenty cents! He counted it a second time, and no mistake. His hard work eventually paid off! Holding the soda tin firmly, Reuben rushed for the shop without a second’s delay. Wearing the beautiful brooch and knowing the story behind it, Dora was too overjoyed to utter a word. She just threw her arms tightly around her beloved son. “Merry Christmas, mom”, the son announced proudly. “You too.” the proud mother echoed. Well, no dream is out of reach for a willing heart.鹤华中学2023-2024学年度第一学期期中考试

A study showed that farms with surrounding natural habitat experienced the most benefits from birds. The study, published in Journal of Applied Ecology, was conducted at 21 strawberry fields along California's Central Coast. It found that birds were more likely to carry foodborne pathogens(病原体) and eat more berries without surrounding natural habitat.
The study looked at how different farming practices influenced the costs and benefits that wild birds provided on the strawberry farms. The scientists combined nearly 300 bird surveys and the tests of more than 1,000 droppings' samples from 55 bird species to determine which birds ate pests, beneficial insects and crops, and carried foodborne pathogens.
They also ranked birds to see which were more likely to bring benefits or costs to farmlands. Barn swallows, for instance, got a “gold star” in the study. Their mud nests are commonly seen attached to the underside of eaves(屋檐), from which they fly out to fields, searching for insects.
Ratner than result in a list of “good” and“ bad” birds, the study found that most bird species brought both costs and benefits to farms, depending on how the landscape was managed. The presence of natural habitat was the single most important driver differentiating(差异化) a farm where wild birds brought more benefits than harm.
Growers will tell you. it's impossible to keep birds off your farm—you can't do that and don't want to from a conservation perspective. “Nature is messy, and birds are complex,” the researcher said.“ The best we can do is understand how to take advantage of the benefits while reducing the harm.”
A related study in 2020 found that farms with natural habitat attracted more insect-eating birds and fewer strawberry-eating birds. Such habitats also bring greater numbers of bird species to the landscape. All together, these studies suggest that farming landscapes with natural habitat tend to be good for conservation, farmers, and public health.
23. What does the study focus on
A Pathogens found on the strawberry farms.
B. The species of birds near farmers' fields.
C. The effect of birds' natural habitat on farming.
D. Damage to crops and strawberries on the farm.
24. What can we learn about barn swallows
A. They can bring benefits for farmland. B. They are good at nesting on the rocks.
E They will add to the cost of farming. D· They are more likely to carry some viruses.
25. What mainly concerns the researchers
A. How to keep wild birds off farms.
B. How to maximize the benefits of birds.
C. How to run more farms with natural habitats.
D. How to balance birds' protection and farm profits.
26. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. More birds, more strawberries
B. Farms—the natural habitats of wild birds
C. Bringing cut the best in wild birds on farms
D The natural habitats of birds are being destroyed

第二节：阅读下面短文，根据所给情节，使之构成一个完整的故事。
In 1945,a 12-year-old boy saw a beautiful brooch (胸针) in a shop window that set his heart racing. But the price——five dollars—was too high for Reuben Earle. Five dollars would buy almost a week's food for his family.
Reuben couldn't ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home and the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children, but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop's door and went inside. Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack(面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “But I don't have the money right now. Can you hold it for me for some time ”
"I'll try,” the shopkeeper smiled." People around here don't usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while."
Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would get surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering (捶打) from a side street, Reuben suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents apiece.
That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin
