A
Havenbsp;you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy. 
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. Howe-ver, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory. 
Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims 声称) as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your house is your territory where only your family and friends are welcome.If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.
 If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming 
is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.  
1. Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is actually ________. 
A． an expression of happiness  nbsp;   
B.  a way of warning 
C.   an expression of anger     
D.  a way of greeting 
2. What is a bird’s “territory”？ 
A. A place where families of other species are not accepted. 
B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice. 
C. An area for which birds fight against each other. 
D. An area which a bird considers to be its own. 
3. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?  
A. Because they want to invite more friends. 
B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away. 
C. Because they want to find outsiders around. 
D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears. 
4. How does the writer explain birds’ singing? 
A. By comparing birds with human beings.   
B. By reporting experiment results. 
C. By describing birds’ daily life.            
D. By telling a bird’s story. 
5. What does the underline word “screaming” in paragraph 4 mean? 
A. 哭喊声      B. 令人惊愕的     C. 尖叫声     D. 尖叫的 

B
Americans like to visit the national parks. In 1996, over 250,000,000 people visited areas whi-ch are managed by the National Park Service. Experts say that by 2012, 500,000,000 people per 
year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from 
the crowds. 
The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To deal with this problem, you may have to book your tickets a few months ahead of time. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees (费) . 
Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be 
cleaned up, and the clean-up can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise 
pollution and air pollution, the number of cars allowed in parks may be limited. If this happens, 
people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may also limit the use of jet-skis, snow-mobiles, motor-boats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes. 
The parks may also be in danger because of development that is going on around them. For 
example, around Yellow Stone Park, many hotels, golf courses, resorts, and other tourist 
attractions have been built. Some of these developments have effect on areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there 
will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures. 
6. According to experts, by 2012 the number of visitors ______. 
A. may be doubled          
 B. may rise to 50% 
C. will reach 250 million      
D. will go up by a second 
7. Which of the following is true according to the text?   
A. Visitors will pay less than before. 
B. The parks are not big enough to hold all visitors. 
C. Visitors may not necessarily buy tickets ahead of time. 
D. Only buses are allowed to enter the parks. 
8. Entrance fees may be increased _______. 
A. because the National Park Service are short of money    
B. only for the development of the national parks  
C. to protect the animals nbsp;  
D. mainly to limit the number of visitors  
9. What is the most possible meaning of the underlined word “limited” in Paragraph 3?    
A. Enlarged.  
B. Admitted.    
C. Controlled.  
D. Concerned.
10. What can be inferred from the passage? 
A. High fees may probably keep some people out of parks.    
B. Helicopters and planes will not be used in parks any longer.
C. The bus will become the only tool in parks in order to cut down pollution.    
D. National Park Service will always welcome as many visitors as possible.

C
One day I heard that one of my dear friends had lost his mother. This made me sad, for my friend was very close to his mother. He had been by her side as she traveled through her long and hard journey with cancer. At this time, many memories about my loved ones that had passed away came back to me. Finally these memories passed, but it was really sad to think that my friend would have to go through the pain.
Three times I tried to write an email to my friend and three times words failed me. I am not the one that is often lost for words and I decided to have a sleep. Upon waking up I could hardly wait for my computer to work；the words I needed were there. I was still left with a heavy heart although I had sent the email.
They say that everything in this universe is balanced and indeed it is. Three days later, I received his reply letter. I was happy to hear that he’d been admitted (被录取) to Cambridge University. It served as a gentle reminder for me that my friend would be okay and that life would go on.
Everything in life is balanced; the lowest feelings change places with the highest feelings. Without the lows, we would never appreciate the highs. No matter how dark the clouds seem to be, sunshine is always there and you just wait for the opportunity to shine through.
