or homelands,are disappearing.Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting the places for birds to stop,rest and feed.The scientists studied the migration or flight paths of almost1,500species.They decided that91percent of them passed through dangerous areas.The major danger for migratory birds is development.Buildings and pavements have covered the places where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another.One of the scientists who worked on the study says“Many of these important places have been lost to land reclamation(开垦)because of urban,industrial and agricultural land expansion”.The problem,according to scientists,is that many of these small birds die along their migration paths because they don’t have a safe place to feed and rest.There is no place to restore their energy for the next part of their journey.Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time in protecting land.The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds.One species that doesn’t exist now is the Eskimo curlew.“Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,”one of the scientists says.The researchers say countries need to work together and come up with safe stopping areas for birds that pass through their boundaries.For example,one country might have preserved safe zones for migrating birds.But a neighbor country might not.A bird might die.One scientist who is not connected with the report tells Los Angeles Times that while some habitats are changing,more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds.He says small changes,like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of the areas birds would be likely to use,could make a big difference.8.What mainly caused the disappearing of birds’habitats?A.The decrease of awareness to protect birds.B.Natural disasters.C.Overuse of land by human beings.D.The rising sea level.9.What may be the main reason for many birds’death on the way of migration?A.Exhaustion and hunger.B.Beast attack on the ground.C.Hunting of humans.D.The long journey.10.According to the last two paragraphs,how should we protect the migrating birds?A.By keeping fewer cats or dogs.B.By restoring their destroyed habitats.C.By helping change the birds’migration paths.D.By preserving the ecological environments on their migration paths.11.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A.To tell us a huge percentage of bird species are in danger.B.To analyze the reasons for disappearing of birds’habitats.C.To offer some solutions to the problem of birds’habitats.D.To call on people to protect the birds’habitats.DThe biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a hiking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes.Now,thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack,that worry may be a thing of the past.The portable washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in2010,while planning to climb Mt.Kilimanjaro.Struck by the limited packing space,he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes.Then he gave up his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag’s design.By2012,the bag was ready for the public.It weighed only180grams and required very little storage space,making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.Not surprisingly,the bag worth55dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers.However,Newland was not satisfied.He still saw a disadvantage with his invention–dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag!The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.In order to make the pack active,dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water.The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged(揉搓)for a few minutes.After a quick wash,they are clean and ready to be dried.According to Newland,the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks!What’s even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold13 liters of water,it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.The best part is that the99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs300grams and is completely foldable,making it easy to store when it’s notin use.With the Scrubba Wash Pack,wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop,or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!12.What aroused Ash Newland’s desire to create the Scrubba Wash Bag?A.Travelers’requirements.B.His own experience.C.His dream of invention.D.A traditional washboard.13.Why wasn’t Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?A.The bag was not convenient enough.B.The bag was not popular with travelers.C.The bag couldn’t wash more clothes at a time.D.The bag couldn’t be folded up.14.Which word can best replace the underlined word in paragraph4?A.Blown.B.PushedC.Figured.D.Run.15.It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack______.A.will lighten the burden on housewivesB.will replace the traditional washing machinesC.will be widely used by more travelers in the futureD.can encourage more people to travel a long distance第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
