But perhaps our favorite members of the animal kingdom are wild birds. Rather than hunting them or eating them, we just like to look at them. There are lots of varieties in all shapes and sizes. Some people provide nest boxes for them in their gardens. One of our favorite things is feeding the birds so much that the production of wild bird food is now a huge industry in our country. A new research shows this enthusiasm has had a great effect on our country's bird population. A study in the 1970s showed that only one or two types of birds were fed.Now, however, over 30 types are taking advantage of the free food. Numbers of wild birds have greatly increased, which has to be good news. However, caution is needed. Some worry that wild birds may grow to depend on human help and may not be able to look after themselves. 阅读理解 A [答案与解析] 本文主要介绍了近几年开放的几个主题公园,以及它们的位置、主题和门票等信息。 21.

B Parents often think that their kids should be good at studies and do well in sports. That's usually the case because parents feel that could get their children admission to top colleges. However, Melissa and Mark Wimmer think differently. Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate's and bachelor's degrees all in three years. That's not all. He also ran two tech companies, and founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive(人侵的) species. But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual skills. Melissa told CNBC that people expected “Young Sheldon” before theymet her son. Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. "But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he's just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things," said Melissa. Mark and Melissa got to know about their child's intelligence when he entered preschool A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast- track development. Many parents aren't comfortable with putting their children with 18-year olds, but Mike's parents saw the value in letting their child go through it. "I wanted him to be social and be able to deal with all the different personalities in the classrooms with older children," said Melissa. The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. "We let him order food when he's 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment," said Melissa, Thanks to his parents, Mike has learned to get along with young and old alike, 24. What do the underlined words“a prodigy” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. A genius B. A common student. C. A bachelor's degree. D. A young businessman. 25.What do we know about the child in the show Young Sheldon? A. He has the same characteristics with Mike. B. He is a well-rounded boy. C. He is a popular child at school. D. He has trouble in socializing, 26.How did Mike's parents get to know about their son's remarkable talent? A. From school teachers'comments. B. Through their son's behavior. C. From a child psychologist's advice. D. By letting him study with 18-year-olds. 27.What did Mike's parents do to improve his social skills? A. They let him run two tech companies. B. They encouraged him to join in some clubs. C. They taught him some rules about interaction. D. They placed him in social situations at early ages. C A study from Concordia's Applied Linguistics Lab suggests that most people are usually overly harsh on themselves when speaking in a second language. PhD student Rachael Lindberg and her co-authors build on the previous understanding of individuals'’ metaperception (元知觉)-a person's idea of how they are perceived by others. The idea that people frequently underestimate how likable they are, known as the liking gap, is well-established. But this study is the first to examine it in second-language speakers following a conversation in English. The researchers recruited 76 English as a second language university students and paired them into roughly equal numbers of female -female, male-male, and female-male pairs, each with different first language backgrounds. The pairs were given short texts to read and discuss for 10 minutes. Participants were then asked to complete forms rating their interaction on scales of 0-100. The questionnaire was divided into three parts. The first part asked the participants to rate their partner along three dimensions: their overall impression of their partner, their partner's speaking skills and their behavior. The second part asked them to answer similar questions, but this time from a metaperception perspective. Participants were asked to consider their partner's impressions of them, their speaking skills, and their behavior. The last part asked about potential future academic and social interactions. Would they like to participate in study groups, share class notes or spend time outside the classroom with their partner? “In all pairings, people underestimated how much they were liked," Lindberg explained These findings can have important implications for students at universities like Concordia, which have high numbers of international students whose first language is not English. "This insecurity could potentially have consequences for their academic and social integration," Lindberg said. "An unwillingness to seek out interactions with other students because they think they will not be liked can create a barrier. This perspective could limit potentially beneficial interactions that could foster meaningful relationships and development of their second language skills. " 28.What does the author think of the study? A. Complex. B. Original. C.Puzzling. D.Costly. 29.Why did the researchers give short texts to the participants? A. To test their English levels. B. To discover their shared interest. C. To offer them topics to talk about. D. To calm them down quickly. 30.What is the result of the three- part questionnaire? A. The participants underrated their likability. B.The participants’ friendship developed fast. C.The participants' sense of insecurity was cleared away. D. The participants' speaking skills were greatly improved. 31.How can these findings help international students? A. Recognizing their shortcomings. B. Feeling secure in university. C. Leaving a good impression on others.D. Being more confident in interactions. D Ecologists have long known that the ground beneath our feet is home to more life, and more diverse life than almost any other place on Earth. In just a cup of dirt, researchers have discovered 100 million life forms. Underground creatures range from earthworms that can reach several meters in length, to mice, and rabbits in their tunnels and caves. Generally, these underground communities form much of the basis for life on our planet, from the food we eat to the air we breathe. Today, in a somewhat new field known as soil bioacoustics(生物声学) a growing number of biologists are capturing underground noises to open a window into this complexand mysterious world. They've found that something as simple as a metal nail rushed into the dirt can become a sort of upside-down antenna(天线) if equipped with the right sensors.And the more researchers listen, the more it becomes apparent how much the ground below us is filled with life. Listening to this mixture of underground sounds promises to reveal not only what life forms live below our feet but also how they go about their existence-how they eat or hunt, how they slip past each other unnoticed, or drum, tap, and sing to get one another's attention. Underground bioacoustics could help us take better care of the environment and detect pests that cause billions of dollars in damage every year. Without a way to locate the pests, ground managers commonly have to turn to fighting pests like these with blanket pesticide(杀虫剂) applications. But that kills all sorts of things underground The impact that human sound pollution has on underground life is still unclear. But “it's hard to believe it wouldn't have any”, says Rillig, a soil ecologist, Maeder, a sound artist, thinks scientists are finding that the underground band of animal activity has started to fall silent in large areas of land. A reduction of noises suggests the reduction of biodiversity and thus a less healthy soil. 32.What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. Ecologists' latest discoveries. B.

My eldest son does and as a mom I just want to hug him tightly.36 I've definitely found that being too “Mom” is notalways the best solution, so I've made a little list of the things that help calm my son, and some of these might work for your kid, as well. 37 It might be your instinct to try to stop his anxiety by reminding him of a bunch of things to think about on your way to the game. Stop. I tried that and all it seemed to do was make him more anxious. He told me he didn't really want to think about every detail before he got there and he just wanted to be able to clear his mind. Besides, that's what practice is for-working out all those details.38 Encourage deep breathing and stretching. Deep breathing is a great method for calming nerves. It's also a great way to get oxygen to the lungs and tissues. 39 I've found that all getting my son to the games a little early and having him stretch is also a great way for him to relax and be ready and focused. Give him chewing gum(口香糖). There is some research available claiming that chewing gum helps calm nerves and reduce stress.

They were friendly, often seen exchanging smiles with the neighbors, but the shift from their usual sunny climate to our frosty winters was a challenge for them. On a particularly cold evening, following a heavy snowstorm that had left the neighborhood blanketed in white, I noticed Mr Johnson attempting to clear his driveway. Armed only with a small garden shovel (铲子), he seemed to be fighting a losing battle against I the heavy snow. The driveway was covered in a thick layer of snow, and the falling temperature as night approached added to the difficulty of the task. From my window, I watched as he struggled. Feeling a sense of kindness, I decided to lend a hand. I quickly put on my warmest coat, gloves, and grabbed my large, efficient snow shovel. As I stepped outside, the cold air bit at my face, reminding me of the harshness of the season. I made my way over to Mr Johnson's driveway, where he was still laboring under the weight of the snow. “Hello, I'm Alex from next door," I introduced myself, breaking the quiet of the snowy evening. “That little shovel isn't going to cut it against this show. Do you need some help?" Mr Johnson, looking up with a mix of surprise and relief, welcomed my offer. He accepted the shovel I offered him, and we set to work side by side. As we shoveled, I shared tips for efficiently clearing snow, trying to make the task less hard for him. Our conversation flowed naturally as we worked. Mr Johnson spoke fondly of his homeland, talking about the warmth of the beaches and the vastly different lifestyle they had left behind. He shared insights into his family's decision to relocate for better job opportunities, and their mix of excitement and anxiety about experiencing a cold winter for the first time. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150 个左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 .
