Possibly the most helpful and joy-bringing app I’ve added to my phone lately is Merlin, a free bird identification program 1 (create) by the Cornell University Lab of Ornithology.
There are many features the app offers, and my favorite is the birdsong listening feature, 2 you can turn on your phone’s microphone and hear recorded diverse birdsongs.
Hearing birdsong is a 3 (remind) that we’re not alone in the great outdoors—or in life. Taking a walk outdoors, I never cease to be 4 (pleasant) surprised to encounter far more birds than I thought. I also enjoy hearing different calls show up as 5 same species, which is an evidence that the birds are communicating with each other.
The sense of calm, well-being and pleasure that I feel when I’m hearing birdsongs 6 (support) by research. One study looked at 26,000 individuals in 26 European countries and found remarkably 7 (high) life-satisfaction among those who lived near diverse bird 8 (habitat). A fascinating finding was that 9 (see) 10 percent more bird species generated similar satisfaction to comparable increase in income.
So, when you take a walk outdoors or go for a hike, listen for the birds that share your space. Perhaps you can be inspired by this Chinese proverb: “Keep a green tree in your heart, 10 perhaps a singing bird will come.”
答案与解析
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款免费的鸟类识别程序,介绍了其功能以及听鸟鸣的好处。
1.created 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知create与a free bird identification program是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词作定语,故填created。
2.where 考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词the birdsong listening feature在从句中作地点状语,故用where。故填where。
3.reminder 考查词性转换。空处作表语,空前是不定冠词,应用单数名词reminder。故填reminder。
4.pleasantly 考查词性转换。修饰形容词surprised应用副词pleasantly,故填pleasantly。
5.the 考查冠词。表“同一”,短语为the same,故填the。
6.is supported 考查时态语态。主语与谓语为被动关系,应用被动语态。此处陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为The sense,谓语用单数,故填is supported。
7.higher 考查比较级。此处将住在各种鸟类栖息地附近的人和没有住在各种鸟类栖息地附近的人相比较,high应用比较级形式,填higher。
8.habitats 考查名词的数。空前是diverse,故可数名词habitat用复数形式,填habitats。
9.seeing 考查非谓语动词。空处作从句的主语,应用动名词形式,填seeing。
10.and 考查连词。此处是“祈使句,and+简单句”,且前后文语境为顺承关系,应用连词and。

Dear Peter,
How is everything going? I just took a three-day trip to Beijing last week. Knowing that you’re interested in Beijing, I am writing to share something about this wonderful trip with you.
Located in the north part of China, Beijing is a city with a long history. As the capital of China, it is also the center for politics and culture. At the beginning of my trip, I went to some famous places of interest in Beijing, such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. Besides, I tried some delicious food there, and the most unforgettable one is Beijing Roast Duck. Finally, I watched the Beijing opera with my friends. The show was really amazing.These are all about my Beijing trip. It was a great trip.
Beijing is such a famous and charming city, and I do hope you can come to visit Beijing when you are available. Look forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
读后续写 (亲情感悟)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Amy left several emotional calls for you on our answering machine while you were gone,” announced my husband, Jim, as I walked in the door, extremely tired after four hours of driving across the state. For the last three days, I had accompanied my twelve-year-old granddaughter, Rachel, during her competition at the Florida State Science Fair where she won second place in Junior Chemistry. “Amy was extremely upset and crying when she left her messages,” continued Jim. “She needed to talk to her Grandma.”
My mind raced. What could be wrong with this happy fourth grader who last week flew from her home in Maryland and spent her spring break with us in Florida? Just four days ago, I took her to the airport for her return flight, and smiled when the busy airline employee handling the Unaccompanied Minor paperwork stared at my cute granddaughter and said, “You are the most beautiful little girl, in your cotton hat with the big sunflower in front.”
“People made six compliments (赞美) about my hat today, Grandma,” said Amy as we headed toward security. “Remember all the people who told me they liked it when we went shopping this morning?”
My thoughts returned to Jim’s descriptions of Amy’s emotional calls. I couldn’t bear to listen to them.
“Why was she so upset?” I asked.
“She lost her sunflower hat on the plane and was so miserable that she couldn’t sleep. She had placed it on top of her bag of books, under the seat in front of her, and then realized it was missing while she was at the baggage carousel (行李传送带). She and her dad rushed back to the plane and had the attendants (服务人员) check around her seat but the hat was gone.”
My heart sank.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“I have to leave,”I told Jim as I grabbed my keys and headed toward the door.
Unexpectedly, Amy’s mother, Betsy, flew down at the weekend to celebrate my birthday and she was
amazed when she saw the hat.

“I have to leave,” I told Jim as I grabbed my keys and headed toward the door. I knew where I could buy a big sunflower. I drove to the arts and crafts store, found their only big sunflower and bought it. I rushed home, searched through my collection of hats, and grabbed the cotton one. I sewed the sunflower in front, smiled at the new hat I’d created, and called Amy, “I’ve replaced your hat, sweetie. Now, you can feel better and sleep tonight.”
Unexpectedly, Amy’s mother, Betsy, flew down at the weekend to celebrate my birthday and she was amazed when she saw the hat. “Let me take this back to Amy. She’ll be excited!” The next evening, I checked my e-mails and discovered a video titled “The hat”. I watched as Betsy opened her suitcase and handed the hat to Amy who was speechless. Amy walked to a mirror, posed in the hat, then ran to the camera and said, “Grandma, I love you. And thank you for getting me another hat. I like it better than the other one!” I was pleased that I had made my granddaughter happy.
