Birds can learn to choose the best building materials for their nests, according to scientists.
It was thought in the past that birds’choice of nest materials was determined by their genes, that is, each type of bird has their own methods of building nests born with them. But an experiment has now shown this to be a more complex activity. The study, published
in the Royal Society Journal Proceedings B, involved giving zebra finches (斑胸草雀) a choice of soft and hard string to build their nests. “We found that they liked the harder string,”explained the lead researcher Dr Bailey from the University of St Andrews. “It’s more efficient for them to build with—they can build a nest with fewer materials.”
Dr Bailey and her colleagues were planning to test the learning ability of birds; their test aimed to work out if the birds could learn to tell the difference among the materials based on their quality. To test this, they gave one group of finches flexible, soft string to build with, and another group harder string. Both groups of birds were then offered a choice between the flexible and hard string. And the birds that had been made to build their nests with the soft string immediately chose the more hard building materials.
“There’s a great diversity of nests in the natural world,” said Dr Bailey. “And because birds are not considered to be as clever as people, who can learn to use different materials quite easily, the assumption had been that there was a genetic pattern in the birds’ brains.”
“This shows that actually learning is also very important for their decisions.”Mike Toms from the British Trust for Ornithology said the research made a lot of sense.
“It may help to explain the variety of materials that may be used by individuals of the same species nesting in the same general area,” he told BBC News.
64. What’s the purpose of the experiment mentioned in the text?
A. To test the ability of finches to learn from other birds.
B. To find which finch is more skillful in choosing building materials.
C. To confirm finches’ ability to identify building materials by learning.
D. To make sure finches can use different building materials like people.
65. Which is the RIGHT order of the steps in the experiment?
a. The f inches made a choice of the building materials.
b. Building materials were offered to the finches.
c. The finches were divided into two groups.
d. The researchers chose some finches.
A. c, d, b, a
B. a, c, b, d
C. d, a, c, b
D. d, c, b, a
66. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. People should help birds build nests if possible.
B. Birds sometimes can’t find various building materials.
C. It’s common that the same species birds use different materials.
D. Birds of the same species choose to build nests in the same area.
67. In which column of a newspaper could we find this text?
A. Environment.
B. Science.
C. Architecture.
D. Garden.
C
We never went anywhere Jim couldn’t go -- not to a movie, a museum or a play. so Jimmy was never to be left alone, and So I urged the neighborhood kids to come to my house. They loved visiting us. It wasn’t just the tasty food or the home-made ice cream that drew them; it was the kid-centered mess.
My parents took care of everything inside the house. I was left to deal with the outside “rough justice” (简易判决).I quickly learned to dislike those who bully（欺负）the weak or different or unlucky. And I learned that when no one is looking, those who think of themselves as the best people can behave like the worst.
At an early age I kept a list of “People Who Must Be Stopped.” I once went to Patrick’s house and told his father that his son was the bad head of a group of bad guys. I was met with a cold stare and the bang of the screen door as he shouted. So the next time, I threw a rock and bloodied Pat’s nose.
The teachers at Good Shepherd taught as if each of us might win a Nobel Prize. There was no slow track: Each of us had a brain to be developed. But even their idea of who could be taught wasn’t enough to include Jimmy. What were my parents to do? Their main point of reference was the Kennedy family, whose situation suggested that all the money and experts in the world are not enough. Ashamed of his eldest daughter, Rosemary, who had also been lacking in oxygen at birth, Joe Kennedy had her sent to a school in Wisconsin for “exceptional children.”
However, Jimmy went to a “sheltered workshop” nearby. At first, Jimmy looked around and didn’t understand why he was there. But soon he was taken part in the activities. At dinner, he gave his descriptions of his day, which was exactly like every other day, which
was why he came to like it. We were excited by every word.
From there, Jimmy went to work at the Navy storage in Mechanicsburg, where my father found him a job unloading boxes. His boss, Rod Hag, looked after him very carefully, and the 20 years he worked there was better than what we could have hoped for. Jimmy won awards, not just the standard kind for never taking a day of sick leave, but also for thinking up ways to move boxes more efficiently.
68. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Rough Justice
B. Exceptional Children
C. People Who Must Be Stopped
D. Sheltered Workshop
69. What caused the disability of the writer’s brother Jimmy?
A. A rocking blooding him.
B. Being looked down upon.
C. Work of unloading boxes.
D. Lacking in oxygen at birth.
70. The example in the third paragraph __________.
A. tells us it was hard for him to keep a list of “People Who Must Be Stopped.”
B. t ells us violence is an effective way to protect Jimmy from being bullied.
C. shows the fact that if children bully others, their parents are to blame.
D. proves his bravery and courage to stop others from bullying Jimmy.
第II卷非选择题（共四节，满分45分）
第一节：任务型阅读：（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

注意：每空格只能填一个
．．单词。

The fast pace of our life and the limited time that we have in our so-called important activities are undoubtedly affecting our physical and mental health. While the symptoms (症状) at first may not seem to be very worrying, long-term stress and lack of sleep due to our busy life can show in some very discomforting and unhealthy ways. The following is to tell you about the symptoms of stress and lack of sleep in the life.
When you feel stressed mentally and physically, you give less importance to daily and necessary activities like eating healthy food and sleeping on a regular basis. As a result of lack of sleep, your body clock gets affected and it is easily able to have the bad eating
habits. Therefore, you will lose a lot of weight rapidly.
Our body is built in such a way that it treats extra physical stress as an infection. When you are stressed, the immune (免疫的) systems are not strong, which makes your body in a bad state.
People who are under a lot of stress also tend to become less healthy. Due to the increased level of stress in the life, women are hard to have their babies and there is a reduction in the abilities for men to make their wives pregnant (怀孕的).
When under a lot of stress, you cannot sleep. This lack of sleep combined with the mental stress makes you anxious. The anxiety in turn makes you want to sleep, but you cannot, so you get increasingly stressed.
The inability to have a good night’s sleep can make you tired from the beginning of the day. Due to the tiredness, you cannot fix your attention on things. All these are the reasons for an accident waiting to happen. Besides, lack of sleep will also cause a bad memory, which is harmful to your work and study.
If not treated in time and with proper measures, extra stress and sleep loss can have bad effects on the person’s mental health. Depression, anti-social behavior and so on are just some of the possible mental problems that can affect the person.
After knowing the symptoms, you should realize how necessary it is that you give your body some time to relax and regain its energy before you go to work. After you have enough rest, you will have much energy.
