17、e forest. Their chosen weapons were their voices; melodies were their ammunition. Each sought to wound the others pride, but their sweet fluting pierced only the evening silence.【 71】 I doubt that the duelists saw one another, because the wood thrush is content to pour out his nocturne from the midd
18、le of a low limb draped by leaves. He needs no approving audience and can project his voice without resorting to a singing perch in the treetop. The brown-backed, speckle-breasted, eight-inch wood thrush only looks drab. All of his beauty is concentrated in his voice. Let the scarlet tanager take th
19、e prize as the forests flashiest dresser. Among his winged brethren, the song of the wood thrush has no equal. He sings more enchantingly than any bird I know.【 72】 On the trail, I often find myself stopping to admire the wood thrushs gift. After wintering mainly in Mexico and Central America, wood
20、thrushes return north to breed. The males echoing melody challenges his rivals, wakes the raccoon and serenades the woodland sojourner. In California they dont hear wood thrushes, which in summer occur only in the eastern forest. Its enough to prevent me from moving West. 【 73】 While traveling in Eu
21、rope, John James Audubon got homesick for “the sweet melodious strains of that lovely recluse, my greatest favorite, the Wood Thrush.“ Henry David Thoreau said, “He touches a depth in me which no other birds song does,“ and he called the wood thrush “a Shakespeare among birds.“ Ancient magic lives o
22、n in the woods.【 74】 The Pilgrims must have heard it, too, and perhaps the wood thrush comforted them in their wild new world. The wood thrushs song consists of several phrases, variations on his basic ee-o-lay theme, in quality like a flute but richer, not airy. Each phrase usually concludes with a
23、 high-pitched chord. Throaty utterings audible at close range may introduce the next phrase. The songs ending is sometimes marked by a downsliding note that slows and trails off. After a pause, the song is repeated. Occasionally, the wood thrush launches into a series of sustained intonations, a hau
24、nting counterpoint to his primary song. 【 75】 Some are almost mechanical, others merely sweet-the inspired wood thrush sings with a certain soulfulness. He plays his fine vocal instrument with great sweetness, yet there is an undercurrent of sadness. He speaks to me of struggle and survival, of loss
25、 and rebirth, and ultimately of hope. He awakens me to the indefinable yearnings that humans and wood thrashes share. A. A special gene make certain wood thrushes exceptional. B. Lyrical, liquid and loud, his voice has beauty and depth to match natures. C. There is wide variation in the singing abil
26、ity of wood thrushes. D. I was moved, but both wood thrushes stood their ground. E. You can go there and hear what Audubon and Thoreau heard, the same song Native Americans heard in the virgin forest. F. His singular talent won this common bird the unabashed affection of two of Americas foremost nat

The logo establishes a【 C8】 _identity for the company Just as different groups of young people express their identity through hairstyles and clothes. All groups from all cultures and【 C9】 _the ages have used colors and symbols t
30、o show their identity. In different cultures, different colors【 C10】 _different meanings. Some colors may be connected with coldness in one culture and with【 C11】 _in another;some colors represent【 C12】 _in one culture but death in another. International companies have, 【 C13】 _, to make sure that t
31、heir logos will not be misunderstood or misinterpreted in different countries. Many companies have, over the years, 【 C14】 _their logos to fit in with contemporary design and to present more powerful images.
