When the studio didn’t want me for the film—it wanted somebody as well known as Paul— he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craftand focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other—but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core of our relationship off the screen.We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back—he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival.

定时训练(17)专题特训(阅读填空)Passage 1Dogs are man's best friend.One way to show how much you love them is by building them a great doghouse of their very own.Make sure that your dog is safe,comfortable,and happy by following these tips when building your doghouse.Consider the breed of your dog.What your dog will need to have their doghouse equipped with depends largely on their breeds.If your dog has long or thick hair or is a traditionally “cold weather”breed like a Malamute or a Husky,they will need less protection from inclement weather than a smaller or shorter haired dog like a Chihuahua.If you are unsure or if your dog is a mixed breed,ask an expert about any special consideration that you might need to keep in mind when building a doghouse.Measure your dog.Your dog will reach an average height and weight when full-grown depending on breeds.Even if you are building your doghouse while your dog is a puppy,you will want to make sure that the doghouse will be a comfortable size once your pet is full-grown.Imagine what size your dog will be when it is an adult and build your doghouse accordingly.Make it breathe.Enough ventilation is the most important feature of your doghouse.Even if the house is big enough for your dog,little ventilation will make it uncomfortable for your dog.So consider using materials like wood that would allow air to move freely.Make sure the main door to the doghouse is large and able to be left open,and consider an extra window in one of the doghouse's walls for extra air and light.Keep it roomy.Your dog should have enough room in the doghouse to sit,stand up,and move around.Your dog will probably take toys,sticks or other things that it likes best to the doghouse,so make sure you leave room for these things,too.Choose a proper place for the doghouse.Keep the doghouse off the ground.This keeps moisture away and keeps the dog comfortable and warm.答案 1.building a doghouse 2.meaning/purpose 3.Equip 4.unknown or mixed 5.an adult dog's 6.move freely7.An extra window/A window8.roomy(enough)/wide(enough) 9.place10.keep moisture awayPassage 2The contemporary environmental movement is often said to have begun with the publication of Silent Spring by the zoologist and biologist Rachel Carson(1907-1964).This landmark work,which took Carson 4 years to complete,diligently detailed the relationship between animal death and the use—now understood as the abuse—of man-made chemicals used as pesticides,especially DDT.One of the claims of the book that she tried to demonstrate was that DDT had the effect of softening the eggshells of birds as well as interfering with their reproduction,and that such effects would lead to their extinction if use of DDT were to continue.It would eventually create a springtime of silence when the songs of birds would not be heard.Her studies also found DDT to be a cause of human cancers.Born in Springdale,Pennsylvania,Carson graduated from the Pennsylvania College for Women in Pittsburgh(now Chatham College),where she majored in English until her junior year,when a course in biology inspired her to switch to zoology as her field of concentration.She earned a master's degree in this area from Johns Hopkins University and became a biologist at the Bureau of Fisheries in 1936.During this time,she wrote for various national magazines,and her first book,Under the Sea-Wind,was published.Carson had concerns as early as 1945 about pesticides being used more and more by the government.But her cautionary claims in Silent Spring were met with anger by the pesticide and chemical industries.Her authority as a scientist were challenged,and it was held that her findings were just the roars of a hysterical(歇斯底里的)woman.She was even accused of being a member of the Communist Party.Some go so far as to say that she told a lie.But she is often celebrated as the founder of the contemporary US environmental movement.Yet her work in Silent Spring,warning about the misuse of pesticides and other chemicals,has not as yet taken firm hold.Americans likely use twice as much the volume of pesticides that they did at the time she published her seminal work,and globally,their use is ever increasing.Powerful pesticides are sold over the counter,and their use is so widespread that many environmentalists are fearful that chemical runoff into streams and rivers is still polluting the animals that humans eat and the water that they drink.In short,while the main purpose of Silent Spring was to warn the public of the dangers of the overuse of pesticides and chemicals,nonetheless the public hasn't refused such use.Isn't it time答案 1.History 2.origin/beginning 3.human cancers 4.Rachel Carson 5.Zoology 6.Under the Sea-Wind 7.overused8.available9.the water10.say no toPassage 3A particular quirk(古怪举动)of Canadian education is that there isn't one system but 13.All10 provinces and all 3 territories have the right to run their own education systems.It's established in the Constitution.This means there is no national standard.Nobody agrees on the grade at which one makes the transition from elementary to secondary school,nor on how many years' schooling is compulsory,nor how many grades there should be before college or university,nor how schools should be funded.Families relocating often get a surprise when they are informed that the children will have to repeat a grade because the one they have just finished does not cover the required courses to pass into the next grade where they are now.Older children from isolated areas may be sent away to boarding schools,but this practice is falling out of favor.These days children in a very small community are more likely to attend the same school from kindergarten to grade 12(13 in Ontario,11 in Quebec).In rural areas,pupils are taken to the nearest school in large yellow buses,some spending over an hour on the bus each way.Some never do a spot of homework at home because they always complete it on the bus.With the arrival of computers,high-quality education has now become possible even in very remote areas.It also enables parents to educate their children at home.Colleges in Canada are sponsored by the state.Fully 75% of Canadian students go on after high school to some sort of further education.Having a university degree is fast becoming the minimum standard for employment but is far from a guarantee of a good job;those with a PhD in Philosophy,if not holding tenure at a university,are likely to be flipping burgers at a fast-food joint.答案 1.Canadian Education/Education in Canada2.Diversity/Variety3.compulsory schooling duration/compulsory schooling years4.the needed grades/the exact grades5.the ways of6.Phenomena/Facts/Current situation7.likely attending8.finishing their homework/doing their homework9.going to college/attending college10.the minimum standardPassage 4Millions of Chinese are struggling to fight the country's worst floods in years,as heavy summer rains pour relentlessly across southern and central parts of the country.Meanwhile,tens of thousands of soldiers,police and civilian volunteers have spread across 10 provinces to rescue stranded residents and reinforce banks and dams.So far,China has avoided large-scale damage,thanks to its generally effective response.Few countries in the world are able to muster the leadership,manpower,and resources needed to respond to natural disasters like this,but China is one of them.Beijing has put in place a top-down system that enables the government to respond quickly and effectively.It has also institutionalized close coordination among government ministries on the front line of disaster relief.China has even set up a special office called “General Command Office to Prevent Flooding and Drought”under the State Council,China's cabinet.Ramsey Rayyis,regional representative of American Red Cross in China,had praise for the Chinese efforts.“From my experience,the Chinese government and the Chinese Red Cross are doing a commendable job in responding to emergencies,whether it's flooding,earthquakes and other natural disasters.The recent flooding and earthquakes have shown they are able to respond efficiently and quickly,”he said.On the ground,China has put together a network of government functionaries and volunteers to perform disaster relief.Led by the Ministry of Civil Affairs,they form the backbone of grassroots operations that involve public participation through quasi-government groups like the Chinese Red Cross and other non-governmental organizations.China relies most heavily on the 2-million-strong People's Liberation Army(PLA),a standing army that is highly disciplined and organized.The PLA is capable of sending contingents of soldiers whenever and wherever disasters strike.China also does a good job in using the media.Chinese officials also use media to assure the public.By giving prominence to the measures the government is taking,they are able to show that答案 1.natural disasters 2.manpower 3.effective and quick 4.top-down system ernment ministries 6.special office7.volunteers8.Chinese Red Cross9.PLA10.the media。

定时训练(19)专题特训(阅读简答)Passage 1Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good,most would admit that their spoken English is poor.Whenever I speak to Chinese students they always say,“My spoken English is poor.”However,their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”.I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First,they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.However,you can speak with a limited vocabulary,if your attitude is positive.Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.Second,they are afraid of making mistakes.Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous.Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY.Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly.However,in speaking,your aim is fluency.You want to get your message across,to talk to someone in English as quickly and well as you can even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense.But it doesn't matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening.You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth,most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners.Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor.If you have this proactive outlook,then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget that English you know.Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.1.According to the passage,what do many Chinese students think of their English?(No more than 12 words)________________________________________________________________________ 答案They think their grammar is good,while spoken English is poor.2.Why can't some Chinese students find suitable words to express themselves? (No more than 6 words)________________________________________________________________________ 答案Because of/Due to a limited vocabulary.3.According to the writer,what should be the goal when you talk with others in English? (No more than 1 word)________________________________________________________________________ 答案Fluency.4.By “proactive language learners”,what does the writer mean? (No more than 12 words)________________________________________________________________________答案Students actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English./A student should actively seek out opportunities to improve his spoken English.Passage 2You may ride on your bicycle in a rush to get to school every morning.You may fight to get a bit of space on a bus or on the subway.You may also watch taxis crawl their way through traffic jams.No matter where you are,all big cities around the world have traffic jams these days.Although they all have their problems,many cities also have a type of transportation that has become a cultural icon.In London,to avoid the traffic above ground,people use the “underground”,also called the “tube”.The city has the oldest and most complicated underground railway system in the world and it is the pride of many Londoners.With 12 lines and 275 stations across the city,the tube is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting around London.In London,you are never far from a tube station.New York is famous for its yellow cabs(出租车).They serve as a quick and easy way of getting across Manhattan,where the subway doesn't take you everywhere.Stopping a cab is easy;just stick out your arm like you do in any city.But,with over 12,000 yellow cabs in the Big Apple(纽约别称)they also cause traffic jams.Since 1873 when the first cable car started public service,the slow and noisy vehicle has been a symbol of San Francisco.Although once damaged by a serious earthquake and challenged by cars,it is never caught in traffic jams and provides better views than the subway.But there are no such symbols in Los Angeles.If you visit you'd better rent a car.The city's public transportation is terrible.It can take hours to get across town by bus.The subway covers just a small part of the city centre.The light rail line only runs between the Long Beach hotel area and the city centre.That's why people in Los Angeles love their private cars more than any other people in the world.1.Why are Londoners proud of the tube?(No more than 15 words)________________________________________________________________________ 答案Because it is the oldest and most complicated underground railway system in the world.2.What's the problem with the yellow cabs in New York?(No more than 5 words)________________________________________________________________________ 答案They cause traffic jams.3.How can people travel across town easily in Los Angeles?(No more than 6 words)________________________________________________________________________ 答案By renting a car.4.What is the main topic of the passage?(No more than 13 words)________________________________________________________________________ 答案Many cities have a type of transportation that has become a cultural icon.Passage 3(CNN)-Nollywood,Nigeria's(尼日利亚)growing film industry,has developed in recent years into a powerful movie?making machine,attracting audiences with its universal themes andstrong narratives of urban culture.The giant industry,one of Nigeria's biggest employers,has been dismissed as a factory rushing more than 1,000 typically low?budget films a year,producing a wide range of stories with themes from romance and drama to comedy and witchcraft.It is now the third-largest producer of feature films(故事片)in the world,ranking behind only Hollywood in the US and India's Nollywood revenue(收入).And lately,instead of relying on modest budgets,many Nollywood movies are attracting funding of a few million dollars,benefiting from the films' growing popularity.But while the industry gets bigger,insiders say Nollywood has remained true to its key to success-its connection with the audience.Nigerian director Lancelot Imasuen,who is now working on a $2 million film called “Invasion 1987,”says Nollywood movies are made for Nigerians and the rest of the continent.“People get in touch with Nollywood's direct realism,”says Imasuen.“People are getting more and more interested,more and more involved in(参与)our productions be cause they can feel the pains,they can feel the excitement and it's so real to them.”Imasuen,a pioneering filmmaker with more than 10 years of experience,says that Nollywood's themes make the audience feel very familiar with the stories by getting them to feel part of the stories.And that,he says,is the industry's big advantage compared to the competition posed by Hollywood productions.“For us in Africa,we just get entertained by American films,”says Imasuen.“When I'm watching Spiderman or Batman and all that,it's just for spectacle(壮观的场面).I'm just having fun because I know its not realistic for the guy just to fly here and there-there is nothing that relates to us as Nigerians or Africans.”1.What is the secret of Nollywood's success?(No more than 5 words)________________________________________________________________________ 答案Its connection with the audience.2.Who are the supposed audiences of Nollywood movies,according to Lancelot Imasuen?(No more than 8 words.)________________________________________________________________________ 答案Nigerians and the rest of the continent.3.How do Nollywood films feel to Nigerians?(No more than 1 word)________________________________________________________________________ 答案Real/Familiar.4.Why do Nigerians watch American films?(No more than 3 words)________________________________________________________________________ 答案To get entertained./For the spectacle./To have fun.Passage 4Two influential thinkers of the twentieth century have died.John Kenneth Galbraith,the economist,died on April twenty-ninth at the age of 97.Jane Jacobs,a defender of cities,died on April twenty-fifth at the age of 89.Jane Jacobs believed in the value of natural city growth.She opposed the kind of city planning that involves big development and renewal projects that tear down old communities.She is best known for her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities.Another bookw as The Nature of Economies.Yet she never finished college.Jane Jacobs was an activist in New York City.Her work defeated a road plan to build a big highway through the Greenwich Village area.She was also against wars.She had sons almost old enough to be called for military service in the Vietnam War.In nineteen sixty-eight the family moved to Canada,where his children didn't have to be involved in the war.But she remained a community activist.Soon she was fighting a road plan in Toronto.John Kenneth Galbraith was born in Canada but lived and died in the United States.Among his best?known books is The Affluent Society,from nineteen fifty-eight.He wrote that American society did not have enough social services.He warned about widening divisions between the rich and the poor.John Kenneth Galbraith believed in the power of government to improve lives.He believed in a system of progressive taxes,and public support for the arts and government involvement in education.He also supported the idea of public ownership of housing and medical services.Experts say John Kenneth Galbraith and Jane Jacobs led many to think.“We just wonder not only how and where we want to live and work but also what kind of society we want to leave for our children”,commented one reader of their books.1.What kind of city development did Jane Jacobs prefer?(No more than 3 words)________________________________________________________________________ 答案Natural city development/growth.2.Why did Jane and her family move to Canada in 1968?(No more than 15 words)________________________________________________________________________ 答案So that her sons didn't have to(wouldn't)be involved in the Vietnam War./Because her sons didn't have to(wouldn't)be involved in the Vietnam War in Canada.3.List two things John Kenneth Galbraith didn't like about American society.(No more than 14 words)________________________________________________________________________ 答案Not enough social services/Lack of social services and widening divisions between the rich and the poor.4.What did the two people have in common?(No more than 6 words)________________________________________________________________________ 答案Both led people to think./They were both influential thinkers.。

When the studio didn’t want me for the film—it wanted somebody as well known as Paul—he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core (核心)of our relationship off the screen.We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back— he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talkabout it.Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.24.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?A.Paul Newman wanted it.B.The studio powers didn’t like his agent.C.He wasn’t famous enough.D.The director recommended someone else.25.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A.They were of the same dge.B.They worked in the same theater.C.They were both good actors.D.They han similar charactertics.26.What d oes the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Their belief.B.Their care for chileden.C.Their success.D.Their support for each other.27.What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?A.To show his love of films.B.To remember a friend.C.To introduce a new movie.D.To share his acting experience.24--27CDAB21.细节理解题。

考查介词。
keep sth to oneself=not tell other people about sth不把某事告诉别人。
如:I'd be grateful if you kept this information to yourself.这事你若能保密则不胜感激。
by oneself “单独地,独自地”。
答案 A2.She's got the job because she has the advantage ________ others of knowing many languages.A.over B.above C.against D.beyond解析句意:她得到了那份工作,因为她有超越其他人的优势,那就是她懂很多种语言。

考查介词短语。

定时训练(3)Ⅰ.专题特训(非谓语动词)1.(2016届北京市第四十四中学高三第一学期期中测试)In the reading room,we found her ________ at a desk,with her attention________ on a book.A.sitting;fixing B.to sit;fixedC.seating;fixing D.seated;fixed解析考查非谓语动词的用法。
句意:在阅览室内,我们发现她坐在一张桌子旁,集中精力看一本书。
be seated 就坐=sitting,fix one's attention on集中精力于。
故选D项。

答案 C3.(2016届黑龙江省大庆铁人中学高三上学期期中)He wondered if he could slip out of the lecture hall without anyone ________.A.noticing B.noticedC.to notice D.being noticed解析考查with/without复合结构。
其基本结构为:with/without+宾语+宾语补足语;宾语补足语可以是名词,代词,形容词,副词,现在分词,或者过去分词,也可以是不定式。
对宾语的情况进行补充说明。
当做宾语补足语的动词与宾语构成被动关系的时候,使用过去分词的形式;当二者构成主动关系的时候,使用现在分词的形式。
要特别要注意with的复合结构经常与独立主格结构转换使用。
本题中anyone与notice构成主动关系,故使用现在分词。
故选A项。
答案 A4.(2016届浙江省绍兴市第一中学高三上学期期中)Opposite the old town is the 5,500 meters Yulong Xueshan Mountain,its peak ________ with snow.A.is covered B.coveredC.covering D.covers解析考查独立主格结构。
句意:在古城的对面是海拔5 500米高的御龙雪山,它的顶峰有雪覆盖着。
因为句中没有连词,所以判断是独立主格结构,排除A、D选项,peak和动词cover之间是被动关系,故用过去分词表被动,故选B项。
答案 B5.(2016届江苏省无锡市第三高级中学高三期初质量检测)Misunderstandings ________ from lack of social communication,unless ________ with properly,may lead to serious problems.A.resulted;dealt B.resulting;dealtC.resulted;dealing D.resulting;dealing解析考查非谓语动词。
misunderstandings和result from是主谓关系,用现在分词作定语,相当于which result from...,排除A、C;unless后省略了misunderstandings,misunderstandings与deal with是动宾关系,用过去分词表被动,相当于unless they are dealt with...,排除D。
故选B项。
答案 B6.(2016届云南省部分名校高三第一次联考)We all think that the plan you come up with ________ the work is very practical.A.completing B.completedC.to complete D.complete解析考查非谓语动词。

you come up with是定语从句,修饰先行词plan。
故选C项。
答案 C7.(2016届河南省南阳市高三五校联谊期中)________ with some research materials,he decided on three possible approaches in his experiment.A.Preparing B.PreparedC.Having prepared D.Prepare解析考查过去分词做状语。

句意:新发现的证据使得罪犯被宣判坐5年的牢。
lead to导致,to为介词,故后面接v.-ing形式。
故选B项。
答案 B9.(2016届福建省厦门一中高三上学期期中)________ to drive after drinking,some drivers are still trying their luck,which is dangerous.A.Not remindedB.Reminded notC.Not having been remindedD.Having reminded not解析考查非谓语动词。
句意:被提醒不要酒后驾驶,但一些司机仍然碰运气,那是很危险的。
题中的逻辑主语为some drivers,与remind之间的关系为被动关系,故用过去分词作状语。
remind sb to do的否定形式为remind sb not to do。
故选B项。
答案 B10.(2016届北京市朝阳区高三上学期期中考试)The policeman kept his eyes________ on the screen of the computer to identify the criminal's footprints.A.fixing B.fixedC.to fix D.being fixed解析考查过去分词做宾语补足语。
句意:警察一直注视着电脑屏幕,来识别罪犯的脚印。
这里用的是“keep+宾语+宾语补足语”的结构,因为“注视”是fix one's eyes on,所以eyes和fix是被动关系,用过去分词做宾语补足语,选B项。
答案 B11.The lecture,________ at 7:00 pm last night, was followed by an observation of the moon with telescopes.A.starting B.being startedC.to start D.to be started解析根据last night可知start已经发生,故排除C、D(不定式常表将来),B(being done)一般表进行,也排除。
非谓语动词的主动语态和被动语态现在分词作定语。
答案 A12.We've had a good start, but next, more work needs ________ to achieve the final success.A.being done B.doC.to be done D.to do解析因为work与do为被动关系,而need后表被动用-ing的主动形式表被动含义,或用不定式的被动形式,故选C。
谓语与非谓语动词不定式的被动语态作宾语短语need to be done。
答案 C13.Mark lives in a big pleasant room ________ approximately 5 meters by 6 meters.A.measures B.measuringC.to be measured D.having measured解析本句中的动词measure可以作为及物动词v t.测量;估量;也可以表示:距离(或长度、宽度、数量等)为……;本句中的measure表示的就是第2层含有距离(或长度、宽度、数量等)为……;动词measure与前面的名词room构成逻辑上的主动关系,故使用现在分词measuring approximately 5 meters by 6 meter来修饰前面的名词room。
句义:Mark生活在一个面积大约为5米乘6米的很大的舒服的房子里。
故B正确。
答案 B14.“You can't catch me!” Janet shouted,________ away.A.run B.running C.to run D.ran解析分词running与句中主语Janet为逻辑上的主谓关系,与句中谓语动词shout同时发生。
本题大意,“你不能抓住我!”Janet喊着,逃跑了,故B正确。
分词作状语的用法需要注意分词的逻辑主语与句子的主语一致。
答案 B15.—What made little Tony so unhappy and cry in his room?—________ to go hiking with his brother.A.Having not been allowedB.Not having allowedC.Having not allowedD.Not having been allowed解析考查非谓语动词。
本题考查动名词短语作主语,根据句意可知是“没有被允许”,故用被动语态。
句意:——什么使得小托尼不开心,在房间里哭呢?——没有允许和他哥哥一起去徒步旅行。
故D正确。
答案 DⅡ.阅读理解体裁:记叙文话题:动物保护时间:7分钟(2017·济宁二模)Every August on the island of Heimaey,off the southern coast of Iceland,young people often take a walk along the streets throughout the night.What's more,their parents allow them to stay out.Why?The children of Heimaey are going to save young puffins—small black-and-white seabirds.The cliffs(悬崖)above the town are home to a large group of puffins.The birds dig holes allaround the cliffs.These holes are their homes.Their young stay in the holes for about seven weeks.Then they begin to leave.Some move slowly on their undeveloped wings and feet down to the northern Atlantic Ocean that surrounds Heimaey.There,they swim,which they can do naturally,and learn to dive for fish.Others,however,may lose their way at night and find themselves in the town instead.On the ground,the young seabirds are in trouble.Because their wings are not fully developed,they cannot take off quickly to sea and safety.The birds then become a good meal for cats and other animals.For many years,islanders have helped the young puffins.Early at night in late August,children carrying thick paper boxes and lights hurry to the seashore to catch puffins.They spend most of the night running after the birds.They put the birds they've caught in boxes and take good care of them.The next morning the children take the puffins to the ocean and set them free.The birds will live at sea until they are at least two years old.Then they will return to the cliffs to build homes of their own for their families.Will the children of Heimaey always come to save puffins?“Yes,”answer the boys.“We look forward to it.The best time for us is setting the birds free.”【语篇导读】本文通过讲述居住在冰岛南海岸附近的黑迈岛上的孩子们为什么拯救海鹦幼鸟,以及怎样帮助幼鸟,人类和谐相处的故事。
