bill can reach lengths of nearly 20 cm and is around one third of the length of the Keel-billed Toucan’s body.The Keel-billed Toucan’s bill is one of the most colourful bills in the bird world,and it’s more a green colour than anything else.As with other species of toucans,the size of the Keel-billed Toucan’s bill does not affect the balance of the bird itself as its bill is made out of keratin,which is very light but still very strong.The Keel-billed Toucan is native to the jungles of South America where it lives in holes inthe trees,often with several other Keel-billed Toucans.In order to make sure that there is enough space for them all,the Keel-billed Toucan group all sleep with their bill and tail under their body to create more room for the other birds.The Keel-billed Toucan has a diet with large quantities of different kinds of fruit.However,because of the surprising dexterity of its bill,the Keel-billed Toucan also eats bird eggs and insects,if there’s not enough fruit.The Keel-billed Toucan is an extremely sociable bird and is very hard to be seen on its own.As well as nesting together,the Keel-billed Toucan travels in small groups.Different from what people think though,the Keel-billed Toucan is not very good at flying and does most of its moving about by jumping between the tree branches.A female Keel-billed Toucan lays between 1 and 5 eggs in the hole of a tree,which usually hatch within a few weeks.Both the male and female Keel-billed Toucan hatch the eggs and both Keel-billed Toucan parents also feed and look after their babies until they are old enough and strong enough to protect themselves.1.What will make you difficult to forget when you first see the Keel-billed Toucan?A.Its green colour.B.Its long and colourful bill.C.Its fruit diet.D.Its colourful feather.2.How does the Keel-billed Toucan save space for other birds?A.By sleeping with others closely.B.By finding a bigger hole in the tree.C.By sleeping in groups of more than three.D.By putting certain organs under their body.3.According to the passage,people often think that the Keel-billed Toucan________.A.can fly very well B.won’t eat bird eggsC.often lives alone D.often jumps around4.After the Keel-billed Toucan’s babies are born,the babies are looked after________.A.by other birdsB.only by female Keel-billed ToucansC.by both parentsD.only by male Keel-billed Toucans5.Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the bird?A.Living in groups.B.Reproducing by eggs.C.Fully vegetarians.D.Responsible for their offsprings.课时作业(三十六)Ⅰ.单项填空1.解析:考查情景交际。

brain and better than the other self-help books,researchers will say this week.Scientists,psychologists and the English experts at Liverpool University have found thatreading the works of Shakespeare and other classical writers has a beneficial effect on the mind,catches the reader’s attention and triggers moments of ing scanners,they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read the works by William Shakespeare,William Wordsworth,T.S Eliot and other classical writers.They then “translated”the texts into more “straightforward”,modern language and again monitored the readers’ brains as they read the words.Scans showed that the more “challenging”articles and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the modern versions.Scientists were able to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and record how it “lit up” as the readers came across unusual words,surprising phrases or difficult sentence structures.This “lighting up” of the mind lasts longer than the initial electrical spark,shifting the brain to a higher speed,encouraging further reading.The research also found that reading poetry,in particular,increases the activities in the right side of the brain,an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”,helping readers to reflect on their own experiences in light of what they have read.The experts said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books.Philip Davis,an English professor who has worked on the study with the university,will tell a conference this week:“Serious literature acts like a rocket-booster (火箭助推器) to the brain.”“The research shows the power of classical literature to shift mental pathways,to create new thoughts,shapes and connections in the young and the old alike.”1.The author mentioned Shakespeare and Wordsworth in Paragraph One to________.A.show their great achievementsB.attract our interest in literatureC.introduce the topic of the textD.encourage us to read their works2.According to the text,reading classical works can________.A.help deal with some physical problemsB.benefit our mind and thinkingC.improve our reading skillsD.help learn more about history3.The scientists and experts did the experiment by________.A.scanning the readers’ brain activitiesB.reading works of different writersC.lighting up the activities of the brainsD.investigating the habits of the readers4.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that reading poetry________.A.is concerned with the right side of the brainB.has the same effects as reading self-help booksC.helps you forget the things in the pastD.makes you more serious and objective5.What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To introduce some great writers in England.B.To present a study on brain activities.C.To introduce a research on reading classics.D.To show the power of classical literature.Ⅳ.写作(2013·山东省济南市高三巩固性训练)很快你们可能就要进入大学了,现在上大学的费用对于每个中国家庭来说几乎都是一笔不小的开支。
