27、   Passenger pigeons (旅鸽)once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks (群)so large that they darkened the sky for hours.

It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons — a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. 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 most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands.

Commercial 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 the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by American’s need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and 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 last confirmed 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. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.

【1】In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons___.

A.were the biggest bird in the world

B.lived mainly in the south of America

C.did great harm to the natural environment

D.were the largest bird population in the US

【2】The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’ ___.

A.escape B.ruin C.release D.development

【3】What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?

A.To seek pleasure. B.To save other birds.

C.To make money. D.To protect crops.

【4】What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?

A.It was ignored by the public. B.It was declared too late.

C.It was unfair. D.It was strict.

28、We live and die by our cell phone, rarely giving it the chance to reboot and refresh. But are you harming the device without knowing it? We asked the experts. For many of us, our smartphones have become a touchstone of life. It affects how we do our jobs, interact with our friends and family, and even how we access important information like our banking, and healthcare. But are you taking proper care of it? Experts say that knowing simple care tips, such as how often to shut it down, can drastically affect how well your phone will continue to perform the older it gets. That means the simple knowledge of when to turn it on and off, can cost you hundreds of dollars in prematurely replacing your phone. But just how often do we need to shut off our smartphones? As opposed to how often you need to shut down your computer, your smartphone has a more hard and fast rule you should live by: once a week, shut it off, let it rest at least one minute, and then you can fire it back up.

There are multiple reasons why you’re supposed to restart your phone at least once a week, and it’s for a good cause: retaining memory, preventing crashes, running more smoothly, and prolonging battery life. Let’s talk first about all the apps you use on a daily basis. “In most cases, the app isn’t really closed but rather, it’s put into a state where it can be restarted faster,” says Bob Motamedi, a Los Angeles-based tech consultant. “Now think about how many apps are open, slowly eating memory and battery power on the phone, and think about all those times you’ve thought that your phone drained entirely too fast that day.” Restarting the phone clears open apps and memory leaks, and gets rid of anything draining your battery.

Here are other things you can do to help prolong your smartphone battery. Crashing happens for various reasons, but not restarting your phone can definitely have an effect here as well, as every update, page loaded, and app installed or deleted will add and remove code in the operating system of the phone. “Sometimes these remnants are incompatible or improperly removed after installation or un-installation,” says Motamedi. “Restarting your phone will eliminate most of these issues and will get your phone working better.”

The good news is that even though failing to restart your phone periodically could zap memory and cause crashes, it won’t directly kill your battery. What could kill your battery is always rushing to recharge. “If you never let your battery drain fully, it will never learn to recharge fully and will shorten the battery’s life,” says Motamedi. “It’s recommended that you let the battery drain down to 0 percent, and then refill it back up to 100 percent.” The same is true for laptops, according to Josh Davis of Abt Electronics in Glenview, Illinois. “After a couple of years of leaving your laptop plugged in all the time, you can expect it not to hold much of a charge at all when you go portable.” In a crunch and need to charge up fast? Check out this trick to charge your phone in just 5 minutes.

To help preserve memory and prevent crashes, consider restarting your smartphone at least once a week. We promise you won’t miss too much in the two minutes it might take to reboot. Meanwhile, you’ll want to stop believing these phone battery and charger myths.

【1】According to the passage, we know that ________.

A．Smartphone is a common thing in our life. It affects our occupations and communication with our friends and relatives, and receives the information of banking, and healthcare.

B．Experts say that knowing simple reserve steps, such as how long to shut it down, can greatly affect how well your phone will work when you buy it.

C．Restarting the phone clears open apps and memory leaks, and gains something draining your battery again.

D．The study showed that failing to restart your phone sometimes could confuse memory and cause crashes, which will directly save your battery.

【2】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A．There are some reasons why you should restart your phone not less than once a week, and it’s for a good cause: reserve memory, stopping crashes, running more smoothly, and longer battery life.

B．“Sometimes these remnants are complex or properly removed after installation or un-installation,” says Motamedi.

C．What could kill your battery is always frequently to charge again and again.

D．Restarting devices is a recommended way to preserve the battery for both smartphones and laptops.

【3】What is recommended way to use battery of laptop according to the passage?

A．Let the battery use up to 0 percent then recharge it up to 100 percent, which is a good way for laptops.

B．You’re supposed to restart your phone at least once a week.

C．Restarting the phone clears open apps and memory leaks, and gets rid of anything draining your battery.

D．To help preserve memory and prevent crashes, consider restarting your smartphone at least once a week.

【4】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．Consider restarting your smartphone at least in the two minutes.

B．To help preserve memory and prevent crashes, you will miss too much in the two minutes.

C．Restarting your smartphone can help stop believing these phone battery and charger myths.

D．Restarting your smartphone can help preserve memory and prevent crashes.

29、   A mother of a cheerful five-year-old just returned from a meeting of the National Organization for Women. Inspired by exciting dreams for the possibilities of womanhood, she asked her daughter what she wanted to be when she grew up. Little Lisa quickly answered, “A nurse.”

There was a time when nursing was thought of as a woman’s job and the answer somehow seemed not to be satisfied. She had, after all, just returned from a new meeting.

“You can be anything you want to be,” she reminded her daughter. “You can be a lawyer, a doctor, a banker, president of the country — you can be anything.”

“Anything?” Lisa asked.

“Anything!” her mother smiled.

“I know,” Lisa said. “I want to be a horse!”

Lisa’s dream may need some improvement, but there is plenty of time for that. When do we give up dreaming about the future? When do we resign (听任) ourselves to simply replaying dreams from the past?

Maybe her dream needs to mature (成熟) a bit, but would you rather have the optimism (乐观) of a five-year-old girl who wants to be a horse, or the pessimism (悲观) of an adult who says in despair, “I can’t be anything at all”?

Teddy Roosevelt said, “Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground.” I believe that is the way to make those dreams come true. So everyone need look up and dream of something beautiful while working hard to the dream.

【1】What did the girl really want to be when she grew up?

A.A nurse. B.A horse. C.A banker. D.A lawyer.

【2】How did the mother feel when hearing her daughter’s first answer?

A.Satisfied. B.Puzzled. C.Disappointed. D.Excited.

【3】The lesson we can learn from the passage is that we should ______.

A.stop children dreaming of something strange

B.advise parents how to educate children

C.encourage adults to learn from children

D.help children to set up a big goal

【4】The true meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph is ______.

A.Stand on the ground and watch the stars

B.Have a big dream and work hard

C.Protect your eyesight while working

D.Find a good way to watch the stars

32、阅读下面短文, 根据内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

There are many benefits of public transportation. For example, public transportation makes it easier for people to get where they want and need to go. It also helps people save money, as the cost of maintaining a working vehicle is often much more than the cost associated with public transportation. The frequency of traffic jams and accidents may also be reduced when a person uses public transportation.

One of the main benefits of public transportation is the fact that it makes it easier for people to get around. Without public transportation, many people — especially those without cars — would be limited in where they could go and what they could do. With public transportation, however, people can get to school and work, get to the grocery store and to doctors’ offices, and visit relatives, even if they do not own vehicles. Public transportation serves people of all ages and from all walks of life, ranging from families, including their children, to business people on their way to the office, to the elderly.

Often, people complain about the cost of public transportation when the rates are raised. When compared to the cost of buying a car, many people find that choosing to ride public transportation is a much cheaper option.

When public transportation is available, many people choose to use it instead of driving to work and school. This is true even of many people who own cars, as they may prefer to ride to work on a bus or train rather than deal with traffic jams and parking frustrations each day. When people make this choice, the result is less traffic on the roadways, which means fewer traffic jams and less pollution. In fact, the choice many people make to ride public transportation may even translate into fewer car accidents and vehicle-related deaths and injuries. Additionally, the use of public transportation also means less gas is consumed each year.
