Written accounts from the 18th and 19thcenturies describedflocks （群） so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reach its highest point, therewere morethan 3 billion passenger pigeons –a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total birdpopulation in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant birds in theworld. 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 supplyand killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted themto small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed,then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birdswere shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.thBy the closing decades of the 19 century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans ’ need for wood, which （驱 scattered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 lastconfirmed 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.

In fact, they were shotfrom 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many ofthe images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in thedamaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-masterthat was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamenand scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore ofAntarctica ’Weddells Sea. From that pointShackleton wanted to force a passageby dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughlycommercial effort. Scott’ s last journey, completed ashe lay in a tent dyingof cold and hunger, caught the world’imagination,s and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officerwho had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started abusiness before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and stillphotography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographerwho knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of whichhave never before been published.13.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A.They were made last weekB.They showed undersea sceneriesC.They were found by a cameramanD.They recorded a disastrous adventure14.Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A.Frank HurleyB.Ernest ShackletonC.Robert Falcon ScottD.Caroline Alexander15.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A.Artistic creationB.Scientific research-- 完好版学习资料分享------WORD格式 -- 可编写 -- 专业资料 ------C.Money makingD.Treasure hunting4-- 完好版学习资料分享----。

Carrier PigeonsPeople have used pigeons to carry messages to one another for hundreds of years. In fact, pigeons were a common way to send messages right up through World War Ⅱ. In 1815 an English banker named Nathan Rothschild made his fortune by relying on messages sent to him by carrier pigeons. English troops were fighting Napoleon's forces in France, and the English were believed to be losing. A financial panic gripped London. Government bonds were offered at low prices. Few people noticed that Rothschild was snapping up these bonds when everyone else was desperately trying to sell them. A few days later, London learned the truth; the Duke of Wellington had defeated Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo. The value of the bonds went up, and Rothschild became extremely wealthy-all because his pigeons had brought him news of the victory before anyone else knew of it.Most of the time, however, carrier pigeons were used to benefit an entire country, not just one individual. The United States, England, France, Germany, and Italy, in both World War I and World War , used carrier pigeons. Not only were the birds often the fastest, most reliable way to send messages, they could also be used to reach soldiers far behind enemy lines, where radios and field telephone lines were useless. Since they could easily be released from airplanes or ships, every branch of the armed services used the birds. In World War Ⅱ, more than 3,000 soldiers and 150 officers were needed to care for and train the tens of thousands of birds in the US Pigeon Service.Carrying messages could be a dangerous job. Some pigeons performed with such bravery that they became famous and were even awarded medals, such as England's Dicken Medal of Gallantry. In a few cases, pigeons even became prisoners of war. In 1918 American forces captured a pigeon named The Kaiser, which had been trained to fly specialmissions for Germany during battle. He was taken to America. Where he lived to the age of 32.The most famous pigeon of all may have been Cher Ami. Stationed in France during World War I. he carried twelve important messages for American forces. On his last mission, though wounded, he carried a message that saved the lives of 194 American soldiers. For his e xtraordinary service, he was awarded the French” Croix de guerre”.Carrier pigeons are a slightly different breed from the kind of pigeon you see on city streets. They ate much thinner and taller, with longer legs. Many people find carrier pigeons ugly because of their big wattle, a knobby buildup of skin on the beat; however, people who raise pigeons often enjoy this odd appearance and consider carriers the best of their breeds.Today, modern communication methods can carry information from one place to another hundreds of times faster than a pigeon could do it. However, few people would argue with the fact that carrier pigeons—especially those that served in the military(军队)—have earned their place in history. Stories about brave pigeons such as Cher Ami, President Wilson, and Colonel's Lady have the power to inspire us as no fax machine or high-speed Internet connection could ever do.1.The author provides specific dates throughout the passage in order to .A.Make a comparison between pigeons in different periodsB.Describe the development of us of pigeons during wartimeC.Indicate greater importance of pigeons in the past then nowD.Show the impact of carrier pigeons at particular points in history2.The underlined phrase “snapping up” in Paragraph 2 means” “A.Giving awayB. putting asideC. getting inD. using up3.The passage leads us to believe that .A.There were more civil carrier pigeons than military ones during wartimeB.Not all types of pigeon can be used to carry messages for human beingsC.Nobody could succeed in stopping carrier pigeons carrying out their tasksD.Modern devices give us even greater enthusiasm than the famous pigeons4.The passage suggests the successful use of carrier pigeons depends on .A.Their natureB. proper trainingC. their qualityD. the geography 语篇解读本文主要介绍了在过去没有其他快捷的通讯方式的情况下，信鸽起到的巨大作用。

Some ancient peoples believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons (武器) of the gods.In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs (灯泡).The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷针). This device (装置物) protects buildings from beingdamaged by lightning.Modern science has discovered that one stroke (闪击) of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特).A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average (平均数) of one person every day.The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry?1.

Study finds being sociable is good for your health, while loneliness is as bad for you as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.A circle of close friends and strong family ties can im prove a person’s health more than exercise, losing weight or quitting cigarettes and alcohol, psychologists say. Sociable people seem to benefit extra rewards from their relationships by feeling less stressed, taking better care of themselves and having less risky lifestyles than those who are more lonely, they say.A review of studies into the effect of relationships on health found that people had a 50% better survival rate if they belonged to a wider social group, be it friends, neighbors, relatives or a mix of these.The obvious effect of social connections on health has led researchers to call on health officials to take loneliness as seriously as other health risks, such as alcoholism(酗酒) and smoking.“We take relationships for granted as humans,” said Julianne Holt-Lunstad, a psychologist at Brigham Young University in Utah. “ That continuous interaction(相互影响) is beneficial not only psychologically but physically.”Holt-Lunstad’s team reviewed 148 studies that followed the social interactions and health of 308,849 people over an average of 7.5 years. From these they worked out how death rates differed depending on how sociable a person was.Holt-Lunstad said friends and family can improve health in many ways, from help in tough times to finding meaning in life. “When someone is connected to a group and feels responsibility to other people, that sense of purpose and meaning changes into taking better care of themselves and taking fewer risks.”1. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. The serious consequence of loneliness.B. Studies of Holt-Lunstad’s team.C. Being sociable makes you live longer.D. Cigarettes and alcohol do harm to health.2. What’s the author’s attitude towards the connection with friends?A. Concerned.B. Worried.C. Negative.D. Approving.3. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Death rates depend on serious smoking.B. Being social is good for physical health.C. A strong family tie is helpful for your health.D. Loneliness will cause other health risks.【语篇解读】本文是说明文。

Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged (蓬乱). His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.The cat's lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin's cousins, Mr Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin's drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes.

He didn’t grade me compared to my classmates；he graded us on a personal grading scale.Mr. Goodney encoura ged me but I just couldn’t seem to please Mr. Goodney, no matter how hard I worked.I continued to see the dreaded Bs, sometimes even a C, so frequently that I said goodbye to my hopes of being a middle student. I was a really diligent nerd(令人厌烦的人).Yet at the end of the semester when report cards came out, I had an “A” next to my English class, and I realized that the letter he had written on my report card was just a way to make me work harder than I ever had.He made me push myself to think deeper, write better, and analyze more thoroughly. He didn’t hate me as I initially thought, and I looked back embarrassed about all those times when I showed frustration and dissatisfaction with a returned grade.He would write a positive comment on one of my papers that would invigorate_me to work even harder even if I made a little bit progress. These sporadic (零星的) good words would motivate me to do whatever it took to earn those praising comments on my next paper and push me to try and top my last assignment.
