Bird migration (迁徙)

The man reason for migration or movement is food; for example, some birds may choose not to migrate if they are fed through the cold months Changes in the day length are signals for migration and relate to the physical changes in the birds. Birds will also display restlessness and increase their fat deposition(沉积). During shorter days in the fall, birds will return to warmer areas where they find adequate food supply.

Many smaller insect-eating birds migrate large distances usually at night. They may feed for a new days before continuing their course of travel. An advantage for night migrating is that it minimizes the threat of predators(食肉动物), allowing the birds to feed during the day and avoid overheating.

The migration for these birds is based on a number of different senses. Many birds use the sun as a compass. The ability to detect magnetic field (磁场), use of visual landmarks, as well as their sense of smell are used to help travel during migration. Bird migration is a strong genetic factor in terms of timing and route, which can be influenced by temperature. Migratory birds may use two tools to find their destinations; innate capability(genetically programmed) and experience. A first-timer migrant(候鸟) flies according to the Earth’s magnetic field, but does not know how far it will take until it grows accustomed to the journey and is able to use its other capabilities. With experience it learns various landmarks often called “mapping”.

Migration is mainly seen in the Northern Hemisphere and less obvious in the Southern Hemisphere. This is due to the lack of significant weather changes and the continual supply of food for the birds. A common pattern in migration involves flying north in the spring to bread(繁殖)during the summer and traveling to the south in the fall into warmer regions. No two species follow the exact route from beginning to end. Migrations narrow into one or more preferred routes or often called “flyways”. Flyways mainly follow coasts, sometimes rives, or mountain ranges. There are four major North American flyways; the Atlantic, the Mississippi, the Central and the Pacific Flyways. The flyways are not defined in their boundaries and at times may be combined into one.

In fact, long distance migrants move away from each other as young birds and form attachments to potential breeding and wintering sites. Once the site attachment is made, birds show high site-faith, visiting the same sites year after year. You will want to ensure your nesting boxes are cleaned out and available when these birds return to keep the cycle going for these migrating species.

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons — for example, economic (经济的) reasons — why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?

In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.

It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change.

Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.

32. What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?

A. Most of them are too expensive to preserve.

B. They are more pleasing than modern buildings.

C. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.

D. Some of them are not attractive.

33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?

A. Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.

B. We should reproduce the same old buildings.

C. Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.

D. No one understands why people speak against new buildings.

34. By “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means “_________”.

A. destroy old buildings

B. put things in a different place

C. choose new architectural style

D. respect people’s feelings for historical buildings

35. What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To explain why people dislike change.

B. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.

C. To warn that we could end up living in caves.

D. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.

  According to researchers at Yale University’s Infant（婴儿）Cognition Center, babies can actually tell good from evil, even as young as three months old.

    Puppets（木偶）are used to show good and bad behaviors. In one case, a puppet is trying hard to open a box. Another puppet, the “good”, helps it open the box, while another, the “bad” puppet, shuts the box on purpose.

    More than 80% of the time when the experiment is done, babies will choose the “good” puppet when presented with both puppets and given the chance to choose either one.

    Humans are both with a sense of good and evil, according to Paul Bloom, Yale’s Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor of Psychology.

    “We are naturally moral beings, but our environment can improve—or sadly, weaken—this inborn moral sense,” Bloom said.

    So now I’m wondering if, during those months when I thought my babies had no idea of the world around them, I did anything I should not have done.

    Lyz Lenz, mom of a nearly three-year-old daughter and seven-month-old son, wonders the same thing.

    “After the birth of my daughter, I watched all of ‘Damages’, a TV show where Glenn Close plays an evil lawyer,” she said.

    Many women I talked with by e-mail or on Face book weren’t really surprised to learn there’s much more going on in the brains of our littlest ones.

    Jessica McFadden, founder of the blog “A Parent in America” and mother of three, remembers when her daughter Alice was four years old.

    “She would babble （talk quickly in a way that is hard to understand） worriedly in front of the family photo hanging in our home,” said McFadden. The photo was taken before her daughter was born and included everyone in the family—except her.

“She truly seemed put out that she was not in the picture! When the photo was replaced with a new one including her, she smiled and waved her hands and would happily look at it each time she passed it,” she said.

8. Lenz seems to be worried that ________.

    A. ‘Damages’ might had a bad influence on her daughter

    B. she gave her children little time to watch TV shows

    C. she failed to teach her children about good and evil

    D. her children had no idea of the world around them

9. What did McFadden probably think of Bloom’s findings?

A. They came as no surprise.            B. They needed to be proved.

    C. They were of very little importance.    D. They would help babies learn to speak.

10. The underlined phrase “put out” in the last paragraph can be understood as ________.

    A. proud         B. nervous          C. excited           D. unhappy

11. What is the main purpose of this text?

    A. To introduce a puppet game.          B. To improve humans’ moral sense.

    C. To report and discuss a research result.  D. To offer and share parenting experience.

Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions(使命) often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day’s work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International  Space Station（ISS）.  ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible . Weekends give the crew valuable.  Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework.  They can communicate with family and friends by email , internet phone and through private video conferences.
    While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy . Before a mission.  The family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth.  During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters . And as from early 2010, the internet became available on the ISS , giving astronauts the chance to do some “web surfing （冲浪）”in  their personal time.  Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.
    Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth’s vast land mass and oceans.
25. What does the word “minic” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
    A.  Find       B.  Copy    C. Change       D. Lose
26. Which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS ?
   A.  The are caring and thoughtful         B.  The are impatient and annoyed
   C.  The are impatient and ammoyed.     D.  The are excited and curious.
27. In the final paragraph, the author shows that astronauts          .
    A. get more pleasure in space than on the Earth    B.  find living in space a bit boring and tiring
   C. regard space life as common                       D.  love to see the Earth from space
28. The passage mainly discusses how astronauts          .
   A. work for longer missions in space              B.  connect with people on the Earth
  C. observe the Earth from space                  D.  spend their free time in space

Dear Sir,

I’m writing to request a valuable chance to be one of the host family for the British students. Locating in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, our large fully-equipped apartment meets all their needs. Apart from the conveniently public transportation, our own car can also take them to some nearby places of interests. With fluent English and an outgoing personality, I’m sure I will have no difficulty communicate with them. Above all, we host two British students last year, through that we’ve gained lots of experience. In addition, my mother’s expert cooking can guarantee for them a wonderful chance of  taste delicious Chinese food.

I would greatly appreciate if I could have the chance to host them and make friends with them.

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours truly,

Li Hua

My wife and I moved into our home two years ago．We had a yard with a lot of  41  ．Very often when we have flowers，Denise or I would plant some between the rocks，just to add some  42  to the area．

Last summer，I found a tiny little  43  in the yard that I could not immediately identify．I  knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either．We decided to let it  44  growing until we could find out what it was．

Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the  45  plant，it appeared to be a sunflower. I decided to  46  the weeds around it．As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds，I noticed something  47 .The sunflower had not  48  where I saw it begin．It actually had begun under a big  49  and grown under and around it to reach the  50  ．

That’s when I  51  that if a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its  52  of developing，we too have the ability of doing the same thing．If we  53  ourselves like that little sunflower, We can reach where we  54  to go and get what we need for growth．

We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the  55  to achieve our goats．Like the  56  ，it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had  57  in itself that it would succeed．Stand tall like the sunflower and be  58  who and what we are，then the environment will begin  59  us. We will find a way to go under or  60  any “rocks” in order to reach our goals．

Just as I began a new job in New York, I had another important job: father. I was a businessman. At the office I had three new  61  (project) and at home I had a young son who was growing fast and  62  (need)me. I was puzzled and didn’t know how to deal with the relationship between job and family until one day, during my business trip in Chicago, I came  63  an old family friend Dan,  64  was once a patient of my father. He told me something about my father.   65   was my father that helped him go through the cancer. When Dan knew he got cancer, he was very upset and wanted  66  (give) up, but my father, his doctor, encouraged him to go on  67   (fight) against the cancer. My father said to him, “You have   68  wonderful life and three fine children. Take some time with them. It is family that we live for----not just ourselves. Think of that   69  you will know life’s worth the fight.” His words touched me, and I  70  (sudden) realized that family is the most important in the world. I should spend more time staying with them.

No one loves me more than my parents, especially my father. My father is stout and strong, with 61      severe look on his face and keen expressive eyes. At first sight you may feel him hard 62       (approach). In fact he is very kind and considerate. I believe my father is a 63     (talent) man. He is decisive and efficient in doing things. By his own talents and efforts, he has secured for his family a good social position and a 64     (relative) rich life. Besides, he lives in harmony 65      others and never quarrels with anyone, so people from all walks of life come to my house, from 66       I’ve gained lots of social experiences. But at home he is a harsh parent who is hard on me 67       has high expectations of me. When I’m idling away my time, I can see that it 68       (hurt) him deeply. 69       I am doing something great and meaningful, such as writing a book, he will be more excited than me. I always remind 70        that I must go on and on, and never shall I give up halfway.

       Parents will do anything for their children. Whether it would be the food, clothes, or the place they live, parents will always make sure their children have the best of everything. One of the biggest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children. They are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes to education for their young ones. Choices include private school, charter school, public school or homeschooling.

       Fortunately for parents, there are a variety of different strategies that a parent can take in order to increase their child's skills and overall intelligence. According to Ross A. Thompson, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis, a child's brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.

       Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem, the lower section of the brain. Moreover, children that learn an instrument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older. And numerous studies show that a well balanced meal is essential for a child's mental and physical health. It is recommended that parents teach their children two languages at once. Research suggests that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool. Other studies state that three to four years of age is the perfect time. Clearly, any age under four would work perfectly fine for a child.

       The average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and second grade. Many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school. Children could have an adequate background of the alphabet and sounds of words before attending school. This can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want. The more comfortable they get, the easier the process will be.

32.  From the first paragraph, we can infer that       .

       A. parents find it hard to satisfy their kids' various demands

       B. parents meet a new challenge when raising their kids

       C. parents have more choices in offering education to their kids

       D. parents get actively involved in the process of their kids' growth

33. What suggestion may the researchers in the passage make?                         

       A. To train kids as early as possible.

       B. To try as many means as possible.

       C. To help kids develop as fully as possible.

       D. To use as many available resources as possible.

34. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss about?

       A. The proper time to teach children to learn languages.

       B. The effective ways to help develop children's brains.

       C. The vital factors to have a great effect on children's health.

       D. The practical steps to arouse children’s interest in study.

35. We can replace the words “jump start” in the last paragraph with             .

       A. inspiration         B. introduction       C. suggestion               D. promotion

Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas;

     1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?

    There are isolating（使孤立）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.

2) How do you handle change?

Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.

3) Do you enjoy working with computers？

    I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.

4) What type of work environment do you enjoy？

    This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.

5) How do you like to get paid?

    Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.

    Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.

60. What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?

A. Design.         B. Changes.          C. Cooperation.          D. Hobbies.

61. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one mean?

   A. Before you select your job, you should assess your skills and match them with your position

   B. There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select job.

   C. Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select job.

   D  You should ignore your skills when you select job.

62. What is the best title for this passage?

A. Lifestyles and Job Pay                        B. Jobs and Environment

C. Job Skills and Abilities                       D. Personalities and Jobs

Charlotte Heffelmire was home in Vienna,Va.,for Thanksgiving break from the Air Force Academy when she saw that her father had gotten stuck under the pickup truck he'd been working on.

"I was on my back,face up,and I was trying to get some brake lines when apparently the jack（千斤顶）slipped and fell down on me,"her dad,Eric Heffelmire,told WUSA9.Gasoline spilled（溢出）and caught fire,and he knew he was in trouble."I thought they 'd be pulling out a dead body later in the evening."

After his struggling for 10 minutes,his barefoot teenage daughter came running into the garage."I felt the weight shift,and I said,'You almost got it.'and then it was just UGHHHRRR,and suddenly I'm pulled out,"Eric told NBC4.

Even Charlotte,120 pounds and 5-foot-6,isn't sure where her power came from."It was some crazy strength,"she told WUSA9.

Realizing the burning truck could set her house on fire at any moment,Charlotte jumped into the truck and drove it out of the garage."I didn't want the entire house to explode with the truck,so I started the truck,put it in four-wheel drive,and managed to drive it with three wheels,"she said.

Then she went inside the house to grab her baby sister and got her grandmother out of the house too."I just did what I had to do,so I don't feel like a big hero or anything,"Charlotte said.Her local fire department,Fairfax County Fire and Rescue,felt differently,awarding her the Citizen Lifesaving Award.

29.What did Eric Heffelmire do after he got stuck under the truck?

A.He put out the fire.        B.He tried to get out.               C.He shouted for help.   D.He waited for his death.

30.Why was Charlotte awarded by the local fire department?

A.Because she remained low-key.                                    B.Because she was a lifesaving hero.

C.Because she did what they should do.                                D.Because she had some crazy strength.

31.Which of the following words can best describe Charlotte?

A.Brave and powerful.  B.Determined and patient.    C.Energetic and outgoing.       D.Considerate and cautious.

As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.

Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.

One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.

Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays.   However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.

Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”

       How to set goals

Whether you have small dreams or great expectations, setting goals allows you to plan how you want to move through life. Some achievements can take a lifetime to attain.      36   No matter what goals you are setting, getting started can be difficult, but we’ll show you how to build up to even the biggest dream.

²        Determine your life goals.   37   What you want to achieve: today, in a year, in your lifetime? The answer to this question can be as general as “I want to be happy,” or ” I want to help people”. A career life goal might be to open your own business. A fitness goal might be to become fit. These goals can be amazingly broad.

²        Set priorities(优先的事物). At any given moment, you probably have a number of goals all in different states of completion.    38   If you  find yourself with too many goals, you’re going to feel lost and are less

likely to accomplish them.

²        Keep track of your progress. Writing in a journal is a great way to keep track of both personal and professional progress. Acknowledging the progress made towards a certain goal is key to staying motivated.    39   Asking a friend to keep you on track can also help you stay focused.

²           40  Once you have achieved goals---even major life goals—you will want to continue to grow and set new goals for yourself. Once you run your marathon, you should assess what you’d like to do next. Do you want to run another marathon, but improve your time? Or do you want to run longer distance?

A.      Keep setting goals.

B.      So be realistic about your goals.

C.      It may even encourage you to work harder.

D.     Others, however, can be completed in the course of a day.

E.      Break the big picture down into smaller and more specific goals.

F.      So deciding which goals are more important than others is important.

G.     Ask yourself some important questions about what you want for your life.

It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can comment.
