Maybe you though t that they were just happy．After all，you probably sing or whistle when you are happy．Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time ju st because they are happy．However，they sing most of the time for a very different reason．Their sin ging is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territ oryDo you know what a“territory”is? A territory is an area that an a nimal，usually the male，claims(声称)as its own．Only he and his family are welcome there．No o ther families of the same species(物种)are welcome．Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome．If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you，you might shout．Probably this would be enough to frighten hi m away．If so，you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fi ght him．A bird does the same thing．But he expects an outsid er almost any time，especially at nesting(筑巢) season．So he is screaming all the time，whether he can see an outsider or not . This screaming is what we call a bird’s song，and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away．Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs．You can see that birds have a language all their own．Most of it has something to do with attracting mates and setting up te rritories．44．Some scientists believe that most of the time birds’singing i s actually ．A．a way of warning B．an expression of happinessC．an expression of anger D．a way of greeting 45．What is a bird’s“territory”?A．A place where families of other species are not accepted ．B．An area which a bird considers to be its own．C．An area for which birds fight against each other．D．A place where a bird may shout at the top of its Voice．46．Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?A．Because they want to invite more friendsB．Because they want to find outsiders around．C．Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away．D．Because their singing helps get rid of their fears．47．How does the writer explain birds’ singing?A．By comparing birds with human beings．B．By reporting experiment results．C．By describing birds’ daily fife． D．By telling a bird's story．DIf Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d nee d a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a pas sing(短暂的) thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even re member the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confu cius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners mu st cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of .In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, t he Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually inclu ded Chinese art, history and philosophy（哲学）. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should ta ke advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the , at the s ame time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the . Busines smen who hope to make money in are reading books about Co nfucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.Today attracts the West more than ever, and it will need mor e teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the W est.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people i n the West, even if his birthday is.48.

If you do, you must be an optimist （乐观派），a leader, or an active person who enjoys life, people and excite ment. Do you prefer gray or blue? 51 If you love green, you are strong- minded and determined. __52___ At least this is what p sychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and th e effect that colors have on human beings._53____ A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and mo re comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings w armth and cheer to the saddest winter day. __54__ Light and br ight colors make people not only happier but also more active.

Why are yo u 37 at home?”Then I noticed his 38 and realized he was telling me the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career. 39 our family has been his joy, and I guess I have 40 his work for granted.My f ather’s unemployment 41 many changes in our lives. For starters, he was at home all the time, which meant my bed had to be 42 , my room cleaned up, and my 43 done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer 44 jobs. I began to notice how 45 he seemed, and how losing his job affected his self-esteem(自尊心), though he tried to be 46 . For the first time, I 47 my dad as vulnerable (易受伤的).

But money is not all powerful. Money can't buy many things such as time and true love. There are 24 hours in a day. Sometimes when we are very happy, we wish that the period of happiness would last longer. But no matter what we do, or how much money we are willing to pay, we cannot make a day last longer than 24 hours. On the other hand, when we are unhappy, money cannot make the unhappy time pass away more quickly.True love is another thing which money cannot buy. Suppose we have someone who really loves us very much. Once he dies, he can give us no more love. Can our money raise him from death and make him love us as before? Here we can see very clearly that money cannot buy us love. Money can buy us diamond things, beautiful clothes, but never time and love. So money, after all, is not all powerful.36.

Which of the sentences expresses the main idea of this passage?A. Money cannot buy time and love.B. Money is not powerful at all.C. Money can buy people material things.D.

From the passage we can see that in our life, besides something material, we need something ______.A. spiritualB. beautifulC. lovelyD. usefulBSure, it’s good to get along with your teacher becaus e it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to understand the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.“But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column(专栏) called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school life, such as bullying.As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge (海绵), able to absorb lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, in most cases, is very excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you make it. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensiti ve to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.40．In the passage, the author mainly talks about _______.A. how to get along well with othersB. the importance of a good relation with teachersC. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachersD. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant41．“Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _______.A. learning becomes easier for you at onceB. you find an opening to learningC. there’ll be more problems with learningD. there’ll be no problems at all with learning 42．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. If you get on well with your teachers, you must have a good result in exams.B. The more questions you ask, the higher marks you will get.C. If you have a good relationship with your teacher, you can turn to him when in trouble.D. Many kids can do well without a good relationship with teachers.CCan trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reasons to believe that trees do communicate with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree（柳树）attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar(花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending messages?43. It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______.A. are lying on the groundB. have an unpleasant tasteC. bees don’t likeD. have an unfamiliar shape44. The willow tree described in the passage protected itself by ______.A. growing more branchesB. communicating with birds and beesC. changing its leaf chemistryD. shaking caterpillars off45. According to the passage, the willow tree was able to communicate with other trees by ______.A. waving its branchesB. giving off a special smellC. dropping its leavesD. changing the colour of its trunk46. The author believes that the incident described in the passage ______.A. cannot be taken seriouslyB. should no longer be permittedC. must be checked more thoroughlyD. seems completely reasonableDI was in a terrible mood. T wo of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the la st words I said to him that morning.My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and when I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved D addy, there’s no telling what might have happened. A broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung...”My mother may have said more, but I didn’t hear. I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day?It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.“Daddy… I am so sorry…”“It’s okay,sweetheart. I’ll be okay. ”“No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said. “Sweetheart, I don’t remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember kissing you goodnight the night before, though. ”He managed a weak smile.My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.47. The author was in bad mood that morning because _______.A. his father had a terrible accidentB. he couldn’t drive to the mall with his friendsC. his friends hadn’t invited him to the cinemaD. his father didn’t allow him to go out with his friends48.

The reason why the author’s father said he forgot everything about that day is that _______.A. he had a poor memoryB. he didn’t hear what his son saidC. he just wanted to comfort his sonD. he lost his memory after the accident50. What lesson did Beck learn from the matter?A. Don’t treat your parents badly.B. Don’t hurt others with rude words.C. Don’t move the injured in an acc ident.D.
