Thousands of dead redwinged blackbirds fell from the sky in an Arkansas town on New Year's Eve after massive injuries,tests by Arkansas officials concluded on Monday.Some 5,000 birds mysteriously fell from the sky in Beebe,Arkansas after dark on New Year's Eve.“The birds suffered from acute physical injuries leading to internal hemorrhage (出血) and death.There was no sign of infectious disease,”the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said in a statement.The birds were otherwise healthy,it said.
One theory is that birds were frightened by New Year's fireworks and flew into buildings or other objects.“Loud noises were reported shortly before the birds began to fall from the sky,”the statement said,adding that blackbirds have poor night vision and seldom fly at night.
Another theory was that severe weather such as lightning accounted for the loud noises but this was discounted because the violent weather had already left the area.“We're leaning more toward a stress event,”said the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission spokesman Keith Stephens.
The commission also is trying to determine what caused the deaths of up to 100,000 fish over a 20mile stretch of the Arkansas River near a dam in Ozark,125 miles west of Beebe.The fish were discovered on December 30.Stephens said the commission expected results on the fish tests in probably a month.Since almost all the fish were one species—bottomfeeding drum,Stephens said,the test was very important.Stephens also said:“The events do not appear related.”Both that section of the river and the air at the site of the bird deaths were tested for toxins (毒素).Beebe is a town of about 4,500 people located 30 miles northeast of the state capital.
[解题导语] 数以千计的红翅黑鹂突然在除夕之夜死亡,从空中纷纷落下。无独有偶,多达十万条鱼在河中离奇死亡。其中的原因是什么?
1.What is NOT the probable reason why the dead redwinged blackbirds fell from the sky?
A.Internal hemorrhage.
B.Fireworks.
C.Lightning weather.
D.Toxins.
解析:细节理解题。第一段倒数第三句提到了A项,第二段第一句提到了B项,第三段第一句提到了C项,文章中提及的毒素是造成鱼死亡的原因,故选D。
答案:D
2.In the third paragraph,the underlined word “discounted” probably means ________.
A.not to reduce cost
B.not to believe
C.to make up a part
D.to explain the mystery
解析:猜测词义题。画线词前面提到另外一种理论认为诸如闪电之类的恶劣天气能够解释响亮的噪音,画线词后面提到这种极端的天气已经离开了这个地区,由此可推测这种解释不能令人信服。
答案:B
3.According to Stephens,we can infer the probable cause of the dead fish is ________.
A.cold weather
B.poor management
C.disease
D.lack of food
解析:推理判断题。文章最后一段的后半部分提到这个地区的河流和空气都被进行毒素检测,由此可推断造成鱼大量死亡的原因可能是“疾病”。
答案:C
4.The passage is mainly developed by ________.
A.analyzing causes
B.making comparisons
C.examining differences
D.following the time order
解析:文章结构题。文章先叙述了红翅黑鹂大量死亡的现象,然后分析了可能的原因,随后分析了这个地区的一种鱼大量死亡的原因可能是中毒,所以本文的行文结构是分析原因法。
答案:A
B
Based on Sue Monk Kidd's best selling novel,The Secret Life of Bees is a movie of hope and faith for even the unloved and oppressed.Just as in the book,young Lily's thoughts sound and read like poetry,from the first moment when her room fills with bees.
The movie tells the story of the young white girl who runs away from her cruel father.Lily convinces Rosaleen,the black housekeeper to escape with her,after Rosaleen is beaten when she attempts to vote.When Lily asks Rosaleen why she risked her life standing up to the angry men who wanted to kill her,she hears “Giving in to them would be just another way of dying”.
That's Lily's story,too.She finally stands up to her father.They come to Tiburon,a town whose name is written on a label from a jar belonging to her mother before her death.
In Tiburon,there is no place where Rosaleen can eat or stay,despite the fact that President Johnson just signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964.(It's still just a piece of paper,Rosaleen says.)So Lily goes in to buy food for them,and sees the jar on sale.When Lily finds out it's made right there in a farmhouse,they go there and ask for help.
The goodhearted August who runs a successful company,offers them the honeycomb to live in.From August,Lily learns honey business and a life lesson from the bees.She sees a world where intelligence,independence and culture are honored and rewarded.She watches Rosaleen begin to understand that the dream of freedom from oppression she gave up when she was beaten is now possible for her.It is August who helps Lily see that love is all around her and all the others.
[解题导语] 本文简要介绍了一部电影“The Secret Life of Bees”,讲述了在20世纪60年代美国黑人民权运动风起云涌的时期,主人公Lily和Rosaleen为争取民权和自由而奋斗的故事。
5.The story of Lily is mainly developed by ________.

B.space
C.examples
D.comparison
解析:推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,这部电影从Lily劝说Rosaleen跟自己逃跑开始,讲述了她们在Tiburon的生活以及认识了好心的August后生活的变化。故这部电影是按照时间顺序讲述的,选A。

6.Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The movie is adapted from a novel.B.Lily's father treats Rosaleen cruelly.
C.Lily's mother writes the label for her.D.In fact,Lily's mother is August.

答案:A
7.What does Rosaleen really want to get?
A.Better pay and honey business.B.Equal rights and freedom.

A.in modern America
