review.C.An announcement.D.An official report.BPassenger pigeons（旅鸽）once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers.Written accounts from the18th and19th centuries described flocks（群）so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reach its highest point,there were more than3billion passenger pigeons–a number equal to24to40percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant birds in the world.Even as late as1870when their numbers had already become smaller,a flock believed to be1mile wide and320miles(about515kilometers)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 the19th 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.In1897,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 for10years.The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County,Ohio,in1900.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 September1,1914.24.In the18th and early19th centuries,passenger pigeons.A.were the biggest bird in the worldB.lived mainly in the south of AmericaC.did great harm to the natural environmentD.were the largest bird population in the US25.The underlined word“undoing”probably refers to the pigeons’.A.escapeB.ruinC.liberationD.evolution26.What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A.To seek pleasureB.To save other birdsC.To make moneyD.To protect crops27.What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A.It was ignored by the publicB.It was declared too lateC.It was unfairD.It was strictCA typical lion tamer（驯兽师）in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip（鞭）and a chair.The whip gets 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 of the way.28.Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A.To show off his skills.B.To trick the lion.C.To get ready for a fight.D.To entertain the audience.29.In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A.They feel puzzled over choices.B.They hold on to the wrong things.C.They find it hard to make changed.D.They have to do something for show.30.What is the author’s attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph3?A.TolerantB.DoubtfulC.RespectfulD.Supportive31.When the world is“waving a chair in your face”,you’re advised to.A.wait for a better chanceB.break your old habitsC.make a quick decisionD.ask for clear guidanceDAs more and more people speak the global languages of English,Chinese,Spanish,and Arabic,other languages are rapidly disappearing.In fact,half of the6,000-7,000languages 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 Center,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 Tangmi 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 youngers.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.32.Many scholars are making efforts to.A.promote global languageB.rescue disappearing languagesC.search for language communitiesD.set up language research organizations33.What does“that tradition”in Paragraph3refer to?A.Having full records of the languages.B.Writing books on language teaching.C.Telling stories about language users.D.Living with the native speakers.34.What is Turin’s book based on?A.The cultural studies in India.B.The documents available at Yale.C.His language research in Bhutan.D.His personal experience in Nepal.35.Which of the following best describes Turin’s work?A.Write,sell and donate.B.Record,repair and reward.C.Design,experiment and

He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised. "I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me—I hear the notes and can bear them in mind—each and every note,"says Samuel.Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it. Samuel says confidently, "It's all about super memory—I guess I have that gift."However, Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future.

Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents （洋流）．Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment．However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way---by studying movements of random floating garbage．A scientist with many years'experience , he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States．There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to s ell or wear．Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes-about 60, 000 in total-fell into the ocean in a shipping accident．He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wa nted the shoes back．As expected, the company told him that they didn't．Ebbesmeyer reali zed this could be a great experiment．If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean curren ts．The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing（海滩搜寻） because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachc ombers in the area．Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collect ing information about where the shoes landed．In a year he collected reliable information o n 1, 600shoes．With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study．As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with quest ions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean．He has even started an associati on of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500subscribers from West Africa to New Zealan d．They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves．（1）The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________．A fitting rooms．B trading fairs．C business talks．D group meetings．（2）Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out________．A what caused the shipping accident．B when and where the shoes went missing．C whether it was all right to use their shoes．D how much they lost in the shipping acci dent．（3）How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption？________A By collecting information from beachcombers．B By studying the shoes found by bea chcomber．C By searching the web for ocean currents models．D By researching o cean currents data in the library．（4）Ebbesmeyer is most famous for________．A traveling widely the coastal cities of the world ．B making records for any lost objects on the sea．C running a global currents research association．D phoning about an y doubtful objects on the sea．（5）What is the purpose of the author in
