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 than 3 billion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States,making it perhaps the most abundant birds in the world.Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller,a flock believed to be 1 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 abundant,people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the mercial 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 sizable 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 Martha,died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden in September 1,1914.

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 population in the U.S.

A typical lion tamer(驯兽师) in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip(鞭子) and a chair.The whip get all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show.In reality,it’s the chair that does the important work.When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face,the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time.With its focus divided,the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next.When faced with so many options,the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.
How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion How often do you have something you want to achieve(e.g.lose weight,start a business,travel more)—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress
This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best,the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information.The end result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things,and so we take less action,make less progress,and stay the same when we could be improving.
It doesn’t have to be that way.Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face,remember this:all you need to do is focus on one thing.You just need to get started.Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people.If you have somewhere you want to go,something you want to accomplish, someone you want to become...take immediate action.If you’re clear about where you want to go,the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out the way.
( )8.Why does the lion tamer use a chair
A.To trick the lion. B.To show off his skill.
C.To get ready for a fight. D.To entertain the audience.
本文是一篇议论文。当人们因面前摆着各种选择而感到困惑时,应该怎么办 本文导入了驯兽师拿一把椅子在狮子面前,狮子感到困惑,呆立不动的故事。

( )9.In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair

B.They hold on to the wrong things.

As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese,Spanish,and Arabic,other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact,half of the 6,000—7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century,according to the United Nations Educational,Scientific,and Cultural Organization(UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss,scholars from a number of organizations—UNESCO and National Geographic among them—have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin,a scientist at the Macmillan Centre,Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition.His recently published book,A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living,looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin,who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India,Nepal,Bhutan,and China.But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials—including photographs,films,tap recordings,and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now,through the two organizations that he has founded—the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project—Turin has started a campaign to make such documents,found in libraries and stores around the world,available not just to scholars but to the younger.
Generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected.Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet.Turin notes,the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.
( )12.Many scholars are making efforts to .
A.promote global languages
B.rescue the disappearing languages
C.search for language communities
D.set up languages research organizations
本文是一篇记叙文。叙述了学者们正在努力记录濒临消失的语言和文化,以挽救这些语言。
12.B [细节理解题。根据第二段可知答案。]
( )13.What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.Having first records of the languages.
B.Writing books on language searching.
C.Telling stories about language users.
D.Linking with the native speakers.
13.A [词义猜测题。根据第四段最后一句“But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.”可知选A。]
( )14.What is Turin’s book based on
A.The cultural statics in India.
B.The documents available at Yale.
C.His language research in Britain.
D.His personal experience in Nepal.
14.D [根据第三段第二句“His recently published book,A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture,grows out of his experience living,looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.”可知选D。]
( )15.Which of the following best describes Turin’s work
A.Write,sell and donate.
B.Record,repeat and reward.
C.Collect,protect and reconnect.
D.Design,experiment and report.
15.C [推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected.”和第三句“Turin notes,the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.”可知选C。]
第二节(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Learning another language isn’t easy,but most people can learn a second language well if they’re willing to put in the necessary time.Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively,overcoming anxiety,and learning the grammar and skills necessary for success in foreign language classes.
Study every day
16 .Study one or two hours for every class if you want a good mark.
Distribute(分配) your study time in 15 to 30 minutes period throughout the day
Study a different task each time:vocabulary now,grammar next, etc.Get an overview during half hour:spend 10 minutes reviewing dialog,10 minutes learning new vocabulary,10 minutes learning new grammar... 17 About 80% of your study time should be spent on recitation(背诵) or practice.
Attend and participate in every class-even if you aren’t well prepared
18 Learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to make full use of the class time.Spend a few minutes “warming up” before each class by speaking or reading the language.
Make yourself comfortable in the classroom
Get to know your classmates,so you’ll feel you’re among friends. Visit your teacher during office time to get acquainted(熟悉的): explain your goals and fears about the course to your teacher.
Learn grammar if you don’t already know it
Grammar is the skeleton(骨架) and the basic structure of a language,and you must learn it.
19
If the test will require you to write,then study by writing including spelling and accents.If you’re asked to listen,practice listening.Ask for practice questions and make up your own test questions.Try to invent changes on patterns and forms over learning is also required in tests preparation:study beyond the paints of recognition to mastery.A
Develop a good attitude
Have a clear personal reason for taking the class. 20 Leave perfectionism at the door;give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn from them.
A.Have more practice in listening.
B.Set personal goals for what you want to learn.
C.Language learning is cumulative(积累):you cannot put it off until the weekend.
D.So you’ll at least have looked at it all.
E.Practice for tests by doing what you’ll have to do on the test.
F.Class time is your best opportunity to practice.
G.Review lessons separately if necessary.
本文介绍的是几个有效地学习外语的方法。
16.C [从小标题(每天都要学习)可知,学习语言是靠积累的,必须每天学习,而不是偶尔学习。故选C。]
17.D [本空是对前面的总结。联系空前的“Get an overview during the first half hour”以及时间上的分配,我们知道,这样下来,我们就在一个小时内复习得很全面了。]
18.F [本句与空前的黑体部分相顺应。通过上下文我们知道,作者认为我们要利用好上课时间,因此说上课时间是练习的最好时间。]
19.E [选小标题。从下文来看,都是讲考试方面的内容的。“如果考试要求你写,你要通过写来学习;如果要求你听,你也要练习听。”故选E。]
20.B [由小标题(培养好的学习态度)和第一句(上课要有个清楚的学习理由),所以下句应该是“对所学的东西有个明确的目标”。故选B。]
Ⅲ.语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下列材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
The leaves were once again falling;autumn was once again with us.This morning I had received a phone call from a friend 1 . (invite) me to a small party at her home,which I was delighted and happy to accept.
As soon as I 2 (step) into my friend’s garden,my eyes were 3 (instant) attracted by the chrysanthemums which were in full bloom.The fragrance from these flowers filled the air and reminded me immediately 4 my parent’s garden in the past.I felt a lump(哽咽) in my throat as the sorrows went through my mind;my tears gathered and 5 (flow) down my face.The chrysanthemums made me think of my mother 6 had passed away only last autumn.I looked up to the sky because I knew she was now living in Zion,in 7 seventh heaven.
My mind floated back in memory.My mother had been a very hard-working 8 diligent woman with strong Chinese 9 . (tradition) virtues.We were a family of nine people—a large one with my parents,grandpa and grandma and us five children,three sons,two daughters.I was the 10 (young) daughter born in the 1960s.
