A
Most students have biology classes in the classrooms or the labs in China. But several days ago, I had a biology class outside in my American school.
My biology teacher, Mr. Kwak, divided us into three groups and asked us to play a game about natural selection(选择) and how birds find food.
He gave the first group one spoon per person, the second group forks and my group knives. I thought we were going hunting, so knives might work better. Surprisingly, he told us to pick up the beans on the grass with our tools.
When the game started, all of us ran to the grass area. We squatted(蹲) down and looked for beans. It was hard to pick up something that small, especially from the grass.
When I almost lifted a bean, it dropped back to the ground. When I finally picked up several beans, one of my friends ran into me. I couldn’t keep my balance and fell over. All my beans dropped to the ground! Just at that moment, Mr. Kwak called us back. I had to leave the game and of course I got a bad result. I couldn’t help thinking that if I were a bird living on Galapagos Island, I would be dead soon.
The fun game made me realize that natural selection is really competitive(竞争的). Everyone is trying his or her best to survive.
1.What did the writer’s group use to pick up the beans?

5.What was the aim of Mr. Kwak’s class?
A.To play an interesting game. B.To pick up the beans.
C.To know different kinds of birds. D.To learn natural selection.
B
The Search-for-Lost-Birds list has come to public attention recently. It lists ten kinds of birds that have not been seen in the wild for at least fifteen years. The list is calling on people to search for the rarest birds on Earth.
There could be several reasons for the long disappearances of the birds on the list. Maybe there have been no studies in areas where they live. Maybe people don’t know where or how to find them. Maybe there are changes to their natural homes because of human activities.
This year, four expeditions (考察队) are planning to find eight kinds of birds. If any of these lost birds are found, ways can be found to protect them and help their populations grow. This has happened with birds like the Madagascar pochard. The number of this once-lost kind of bird is now increasing.

A similar accident h 7 in Wales last week, with 200 birds found dead(死的) on a country road b 8 Waterson and Hazelbeach in Pembrokeshire. A witness(目击者) reported h 9 a loud bang before seven or eight birds fell onto his car. The bird expert Dominic Couzens told MailOnline, “They were probably frightened by something, maybe a loud bang.” “Something unexpected made them disorientated(茫然的) and then they flew into something.

七.阅读理解(每小题2分,共20分)
A
Most students have biology classes in the classrooms or the labs in China. But several days ago, I had a biology class outside in my American school.
My biology teacher, Mr. Kwak, divided us into three groups and asked us to play a game about natural selection(选择) and how birds find food.
He gave the first group one spoon per person, the second group forks and my group knives. I thought we were going hunting, so knives might work better. Surprisingly, he told us to pick up the beans on the grass with our tools.
When the game started, all of us ran to the grass area. We squatted(蹲) down and looked for beans. It was hard to pick up something that small, especially from the grass.
When I almost lifted a bean, it dropped back to the ground. When I finally picked up several beans, one of my friends ran into me. I couldn’t keep my balance and fell over. All my beans dropped to the ground! Just at that moment, Mr. Kwak called us back. I had to leave the game and of course I got a bad result. I couldn’t help thinking that if I were a bird living on Galapagos Island, I would be dead soon.
The fun game made me realize that natural selection is really competitive(竞争的). Everyone is trying his or her best to survive.
1.What did the writer’s group use to pick up the beans?
A.Spoons. B.Forks. C.Knives. D.Hands.
2.How many beans did the writer get at last?
A.None. B.One. C.Several. D.Many.
3.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.The writer did a good job in the biology class.
B.The writer had a biology class in the lab.
C.The writer found that picking up the beans from the grass was hard.
D.The writer didn’t find enough food for the birds on Galapagos Island.
4.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “survive” in the last paragraph?
A.Find food. B.Stay alive. C.Be lovely. D.Keep balanced.
5.What was the aim of Mr. Kwak’s class?
A.To play an interesting game. B.To pick up the beans.
C.To know different kinds of birds. D.To learn natural selection.
1.C 细节理解题。根据第三段的“and my group knives”可知作者的小组用的是刀。故选C。
2.A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“All my beans dropped to the ground!”可知捡起的几颗豆子全撒到了地上。故选A。
3.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第四句可知A项错误;根据第一段第二句可知B项错误;根据第五段后两句可知D项错误。根据“It was hard to pick up something that small, especially from the grass.”可推测出C正确。故选C。
4.B 词义猜测题。根据上下文可推测出句意“大家都在尽力生存”。故选B。
5.D 主旨大意题。根据第二段的“asked us to play a game about natural selection and how birds find food”可知选D。
B
The Search-for-Lost-Birds list has come to public attention recently. It lists ten kinds of birds that have not been seen in the wild for at least fifteen years. The list is calling on people to search for the rarest birds on Earth.
There could be several reasons for the long disappearances of the birds on the list. Maybe there have been no studies in areas where they live. Maybe people don’t know where or how to find them. Maybe there are changes to their natural homes because of human activities.
This year, four expeditions (考察队) are planning to find eight kinds of birds. If any of these lost birds are found, ways can be found to protect them and help their populations grow. This has happened with birds like the Madagascar pochard. The number of this once-lost kind of bird is now increasing.
1.What does the underlined word “disappearances” mean in Chinese?
A.等待 B.栖息 C.迁徙 D.消失
2.How many kinds of birds are on the Search-for-Lost-Birds list?
A.Four. B.Eight. C.Ten. D.Fifteen.
3.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.Changes of the living areas of the birds.
B.Suggestions on how to protect the birds.
C.Reasons for the disappearances of the birds.
D.Steps of building natural homes for the birds.
4.What can we learn about the Madagascar pochard?
A.It has not been found till now.
B.It has a larger population than before.
C.It needs to live close to humans.
D.It provides protection for other birds.
5.What is the best title for the text?
A.Ways to Raise Rare Birds B.Bird-lovers Around the World
C.Searches for the Lost Birds D.Stories About Birds in the Wild
1.D 词义猜测题。上文提及了至少15年里在野外没有看见10种鸟,此处承接上文,表达的是“名单上的鸟类长期失踪可能有几个原因”,所以disappearances是“消失”的意思。故选D。
2.C 细节理解题。从第一段“It lists ten kinds of birds that have not been seen in the wild for at least fifteen years.”可知,这个寻找消失了的鸟的清单列出了在至少15年里在野外没有看见的10种鸟。故选C。
3.C 段落大意题。第二段从人们没有对这些鸟类居住的地方进行研究,人们不知道在哪里或如何找到这些鸟,人类活动改变了自然家园等三个方面分析了清单上这些鸟消失的原因。故选C。
4.B 细节理解题。从第三段最后“This has happened with birds like the Madagascar pochard. The number of this once-lost kind of bird is now increasing.”可知,像马达加斯加潜鸭(Madagascar pochard)这种曾经消失的鸟现在数量却在逐渐增长。由此可知,其现在的数量比以前多。故选B。
5.C 标题归纳题。本文重点谈到了在寻找消失了的鸟的清单上的鸟类消失的原因,同时呼吁大家去找到它们并对其进行保护。因此用“寻找消失的鸟”作为文章的标题是恰当的。故选C。
八.根据上下文及首字母提示完成单词,使短文完整、正确 (每小题1分,共10分)

Hello, everyone!
I'm Li Hua, a student from No. 1 Middle School. Today I'd like to share my opinions on “Building a green and beautiful hometown together”.
As middle school students, it's our duty to help build a green and beautiful hometown. First, we can ride bikes or walk to school if it's not far away from our homes. The more people choose public transportation, the less traffic jams there will be and the cleaner the air will be. Second, we mustn't throw rubbish here and there. We must throw it into the dustbin. If so, our hometown will be clean and tidy. We will feel more comfortable, too. Third, plant more trees. Trees are important to the environment. They can make the air much fresher.
We should do everything we can to protect the environment.
That's all. Thank you!
