18、 this question for many years. Now theyre beginning to fill in the blanks. Not long ago, experiments show that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly mainly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying bird
19、s are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights. One such bird-a warbler-had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The birds cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky at migration t
20、ime. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the make-believe stars caused a change in the direction of his flight. Scientists think that warblers, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently
21、their principle means of navigation. What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coastlines, and river courses. But when its too dark to see these, the warblers circle helplessly, unable to get their bearings. 36 Birds do
22、nt get lost on their migratory flights, and the reasons _. （ A） have been known to scientists for years （ B） have only recently been discovered （ C） are known by everyone （ D） will probably remain a mystery 37 Warblers ability to use stars as guidance _. （ A） is natural （ B） will lose if they do not

24、pent its lifetime in a cage （ D） both A and B 39 When it is too dark for the warblers to see things, they _. （ A） stopped flying and waited the coming of the day （ B） continue the flight despite the darkness （ C） were unable to find their direction （ D） still fly according to their feelings 40 Which
25、 of the following can be used as the guidance for warblers? （ A） Mountain ranges. （ B） River courses. （ C） Sun. （ D） All of the above. Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 How men first learned to invent words is
26、unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions, and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called let
27、ters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. These sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations-the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by expe
28、rience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words
29、 which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary, style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We s
30、hould therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar. 41 Which is TRUE about the origin of language? （ A） Men, as well as animals, invented certain sounds to express thoughts. （ B） The origin of language is a complicated question.

32、 associate the things with the ideas in our mind. 43 Why is a real poet regarded as a master of words? （ A） Because he has great thoughts. （ B） Because he can convey his meaning in musical words. （ C） Because he can convey his meaning in moving words. （ D） Both B and C 44 What should we do in order
33、to avoid making our speech silly and vulgar? （ A） We should learn to invent words. （ B） We should choose our words with care and use them with accuracy. （ C） We should read and learn more. （ D） We should learn from a master of words. 45 Whats the best title for the passage? （ A） The Power of Words （

35、 has killed 22 million people and it spreads with frightening speed. No known cure exists, yet we do learn some lessons in our battle against it: Firstly, speak to your community, in a way they can hear. Many communities have a low literacy rate, making it impossible for passing out AIDS literature
36、and expecting people to read it. To solve this problem, ask people in the community to create low-literacy AIDS education publications. Secondly, train teenagers to educate their peers. Because AIDS is spreading fastest among teenagers, the program trains youth to go into the community and explain t
37、he risk of catching AIDS to friends at their own age. At last, redefine “at risk“ to include women from different backgrounds and marriage status. According to the Centers for Disease Control, women will soon make up 80 percent of those diagnosed (诊断 )with HIV (艾滋病病毒 ). These lessons are not the onl
