A The blue tits(山雀)have been inspecting the nest-box again this year.The male is the house-hunter but the female will make the final choice.He lands at the hole and turns his head to expose his white cheeks as a signal to attract the female from where she has been feeding.Among many birds that nest in holes, the male has a light-coloured patch on its plumage(鸟羽)which acts as signal for drawing the female’s attention to a suitable nesting-place.Unlike the blue tit, the redstart(红尾鸲)may be only the male that strikingly coloured and the female is not beautiful.A few years ago I was lucky enough to spot a pair of redstarts in action in a Walsh wood.The male was leading an interested female to holes tha
t he had previously(先前)checked out.He sat at the entrance of each hole and put his head on to show off his white forehead, or his head in to reveal(显露)his tail.If the female failed to react to his visual signals, the male sometimes sang for extra effect, while gliding towards her on spread wings and tail.Once the female accepts by following the male through the hole the displays stop, you must be at the right place at the right time to watch them.1.How do the blue tits choose their nest? A.They choose their nest together.B.The male chooses their nest.C.The house-hunter chooses their nest.D.The female chooses their nest.2.The writer was lucky to see ________.A.how the male made his tricks B.how an interested female played with the male happily C.what the male displayed and won the female D.that the male tried his best but failed to attract the female 3.You can spot a pair of redstarts in a Walsh wood ________.A.at any ularly
C.in April
D.occasionally 4.The writer is probably ________.A.a bird expert
B.a bird-hunter
D.a scientist C.a bird raiser
B The common cold is the world’s most widespread illness, which is plagues(疫病)that flesh receives.The most widespread fallacy(谬误)of all is that colds caused by cold.They are not.They are caused by viruses(病毒)passing on from person to person.You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one.If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever.But they do not.And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp(奥斯维辛集中营), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time.After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold w
ater, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room.Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion.Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter？Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer.One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.No one has yet found a cure for the cold.There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片)such as aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms(症状).1.The writer offered _______ examples to support his argument.A.4 B.5
C.6
D.3 2.Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage? A.The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.B.Colds are not caused by cold.C.People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.D.A person may catch a cold by touching someone w
ho already has one.3.Arctic explorers may catch colds when _______.A.they are working in the isolated arctic region B.they are writing reports in terribly cold weather C.they are free from work in the isolated arctic regions D.they are coming into touch again with the outside world 4.Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit _______.A.suffered a lot
B.never caught colds D.became very strong C.often caught colds
5.The passage mainly discusses _______.A.the experiments on the common cold
B.the fallacy about the common cold C.the reason and the way people catch colds D.the continued spread of common colds
