二、阅读理解
A
When many people see birds cleaning their feathers，they think it is due to the pride in one part of the bird.But，in reality，what they are doing is good for their wings，the tools that they depend on for safe flight.If a bird’s wings are not in perfect condition，the bird either won’t be able to fly or won’t be able to control its flight.That is why after a long flight and even throughout the day，you will see them cleaning their feathers.
Most birds，if they get a chance，will take a bath at least once a day.They do this to get rid of the dust that has accumulated in their feathers throughout their flights during the day.In dry or desert areas，birds will not always be able to find water in which to bath，but they still need to clean their feathers.What many birds will do is to take dust baths.They will roll around in dust until it covers their feathers.They will stand up，shake the dust out，and then clean their feathers with their hard mouths，as usual.
Baths are important for another reason.Many parasites(寄生虫)are attracted to birds day by day.They will try to reach birds and suck their blood.Daily baths help to keep the parasites to a minimum.
Some birds，especially those that spend a lot of time in or around water，have skin glands(皮腺)that produce oil.After bathing，these birds will produce oil from the glands to spread over their wings，which helps to keep them free of water.
If you are a bird lover and have bird houses in your yard，it can be good to go the extra step：providing a bird bath.Once the birds in your neighborhood discover it，you will be surprised at how popular it becomes as they periodically stop by to take their daily bath.

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“When many people see birds cleaning their feathers，they think it is due to the pride in one part of the bird.But，in reality，what they are doing is good for their wings，the tools that they depend on for safe flight.”可知，人们看到鸟儿清理羽毛，会认为这是一种骄傲的表现。但是事实上，鸟儿清理羽毛有益于它们的翅膀，这是它们赖以安全飞行的工具。即很多人认为鸟儿清理羽毛不具有实用的意义。
答案：A
2．Besides ensuring their flight safety，birds clean feathers in order to ______.
A．relax themselves
B．keep themselves healthy
C．make themselves attractive
D．keep themselves free of any parasite
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“Many parasites are attracted to birds day by day.They will try to reach birds and suck their blood.Daily baths help to keep the parasites to a minimum.”可知，鸟儿每天洗澡可以使身体上的寄生虫数量降至最低。由此可推知，除了确保飞行的安全性，鸟儿洗澡还为了保持身体健康。

Americans have many museums such as art museums，history museums，car museums，train museums and space museums，many of which are famous.Millions of people from around the world visit them each year.And then we have some other museums—these make you ask，“Did they really build a museum for that？”
No American picnic would be complete without mustard(芥末)．People in Wisconsin love it so much；they built a museum in its honor.The National Mustard Museum has over 5,000 kinds of mustard from 60 countries.You can even have a taste and buy containers of mustard in the museum.
If you visit the Banana Museum in Washington you could learn everything you ever wanted to know about bananas.There are almost 4,000 objects in honor of this favorite fruit.
Another unusual museum is in Missouri.It has over 150 wreaths(花环)and 2,000 pieces of jewelry made of human hair.According to Leila Cohoon who owns the museum，some of the objects are over 100 years old.The human hair wreaths were considered pieces of art long ago.
And then there is the Twine Ball Museum in Minnesota.It has only one object on display—what it calls the largest twine ball in the world.A man named Francis Johnson began winding(缠绕)twine，or thick string，into a ball in March of 1950.He wound for 4 hours a day for 23 weeks.The ball got so big that he needed a machine to lift it，so he could wind some more.Mr.Johnson wound the ball for about 30 years with the final twine ball 4 meters across and weighing 7,900 kilograms.
