题型:不详难度:来源:
Every year in late spring at Wild Friends, the wildlife health center, workers receive baby animals, including songbirds and rabbits. This is the busiest time when workers care for and raise all the little ones before sending them back into the wild.
There are many reasons for these little animals" coming to the center. First of all, street cats or dogs catch, injure or take away little birds from their nests. Sometimes people catch baby animals and keep them at home, giving them food that they are not used to. It would make them sick. Most people don"t realize that it"s against law to get live animals out of their nests.
As for songbirds, people often find them on the ground in their yards, thinking they have no other choice but to leave them on the ground to die. This is because many people wrongly believe that once a bird is touched by a person, its mother will not accept this child bird. But that"s not true.
If a little bird falls out of the nest, you should check whether it is injured. If not, you should put the bird back in the nest. If the bird is injured, call your local wildlife center quickly.
As for the progress of protecting wild animals, people at Wild Friends devote all their energy to this work. Over the last weeks, they have been able to send many of the birds and rabbits that came here earlier this spring back to nature.
小题1:Which is the busiest season for workers at Wild Friends?

举一反三
My house is made of wood, glass and stone. It is also made of software.
If you come to visit, you"ll probably be surprised when you come in: Someone will give you an electronic PIN to wear. The PIN tells the house who you are and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it"s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights near you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you, too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it for you. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.
Of course, you are also able to want something. There is a home control console (控制台) which is a small machine that turns things on and off around you.
The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you the key to my car, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the key. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.
I believe that in ten years from now, most new houses will have the systems that I"ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I"ve got.
I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others". But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, ”How did I live without them?”

Jerry Morris died on 28 October 2009. He was 99 years old. You have probably never heard of him. He was a professor of public health. More than 50 years ago he produced one of the most famous epidemiological (流行病学) papers of the 20th century.
His study showed that bus conductors were much less likely to die of heart disease than bus drivers. Why? Because the conductors spent their working day walking. It seems obvious now but in the middle of the last century doctors were puzzled by the rising numbers of people who got heart diseases. Jerry Morris found one of the main causes: a sedentary (久坐不动的) lifestyle. He started exercising for a few minutes each day and lived until his 100th year.
If you wish to protect your heart, you have to do more than wander in the garden. The exercise needs to be reasonable. Jogging is not for everyone and a round trip to the gym takes a couple of hours, plus the monthly membership fee is only good value if you visit regularly. The answer is simple: walk.
A half-hour purposeful walk five times a week will lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes and strokes. Older people sometimes feel they have left it too late. But it is never too late to start and there are no upper age limits. Start gently. Take your time: a 15-minute flat walk in the nearest park, four or five times a week. Within a month or so, you are already beginning to protect your heart. Build the walks up. When you can comfortably walk for half an hour in the park, go further: try following rivers and canals.
Regular walkers have their own natural gymnasium. There is no membership fee, just some of the finest scenery in the world. Great Britain is the walker’s gym. When you have followed the rivers and canals, and are enjoying walking for a couple of hours, head for the coast. Once again, build it up slowly. When you are comfortable with long coastal walks, you can think of our national parks.
小题1:Jerry Morris is mentioned in the first paragraph mainly to __________.
A.make his epidemiological message known to the public
B.praise his research into ways of improving public health
C.introduce the topic of doing exercise and keeping healthy

小题2:We can learn from the passage that __________.
A.bus conductors are more likely to die of heart disease than bus drivers.
B.doctors in the 1950s knew why heart diseases kept happening to people.
C.walking is better than doing sports in a gym because it saves time and money.
D.British people love walking because they have free gymnasium with finest scenery.
小题3:What suggestion does the writer give about walking?
A.Parks are the best place for walking.
B.Starters should not push themselves too hard.
C.A two-quarter walk a day is suitable for starters.
D.People of old age might not be fit enough to start walking.
小题4:What might be the best title for this passage?
A.Long Life Comes from Walking
B.Walking Helps Cure Heart Disease

Many people are aware of the beauty of a solar eclipse (日食), but are surprised to learn that lunar eclipses are often just as impressive. While total solar eclipse lasts only for a few minutes and can be seen only in a small area of a few kilometers, total lunar eclipse can last for several hours and can be seen over much of the planet. In fact, the beauty and stability of lunar eclipses make them a favorite of both amateur and professional photographers.
Lunar eclipses generally occur two or three times a year, and are possible only when the Moon is full. When we see the Moon, we are actually seeing sunlight reflected off the surface of the Moon When the Earth is positioned in between the Moon and the Sun, however, the Earth"s shadow falls on the Moon, and a lunar eclipse occurs.
The type of lunar eclipse - total, partial, or penumbral (半影) - that occurs depends both on how much of the Moon passes through the Earth"s shadow and through which part of the shadow it passes. A penumbral eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the Earth"s outer shadow. This type of eclipse is brief and frequently goes unobserved by all but astronomers. By contrast, total and partial eclipses occur when all or part, respectively, of the Moon passes through the umbra(本影) shadow of the Earth. These eclipses are quite easy to see and are widely observed.
Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are safe to watch. Solar radiation that occurs during an eclipse of the Sun can cause a form of burns of one"s eyes known as eclipse blindness. In fact, the only way to safely view a solar eclipse is by using specially designed equipment. However, since the Moon"s light is reflected sunlight, it is completely safe to watch a lunar eclipse without any special equipment, although a pair of binoculars can certainly help the viewer appreciate the beauty of this phenomenon
小题1:The underlined word "stability " most probably means_______.
A.strengthB.positionC.steadinessD.visibility
小题2:According to the passage, a partial lunar eclipse occurs________.
A.when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth
B.when all of the Moon passes through the Earth"s umbra shadow
C.when only a part of the Moon passes through the Earth"s outer shadow
D.when only a part of the Moon passes through the Earth"s umbra shadow
小题3:The passage implies that penumbral eclipses are________.
A.longer-lasting than most solar eclipses
B.more common than partial or full lunar eclipse
C.the result of the shadow cast by the Moon onto the Earth
D.more difficult to observe than other types of lunar eclipse
小题4:According to the passage, it is safe to watch a lunar eclipse, unlike a solar eclipse, because ________.
A.moonlight is less strong than sunlight
B.a lunar eclipse is briefer than a solar eclipse
C.a lunar eclipse lasts much longer than a solar eclipse
D.special equipment can be employed to view a lunar eclipse

As a developmental cognitive neuroscientist,Luna studies those changes that occur in the brain as children develop into adults.She and other researchers are showing how the teen experience can lead to powerful advantages later in life.Take mice again:Young mice that explore most tend to live longest——that is,unless a cat eats them,Luna adds.
