The woman had a sigh (叹息), gave him a shoe pattern (鞋样) and told him to buy shoes himself. With a policeman’s help, he found a shop. The shopkeeper (店主) brought some shoes and asked him to choose. When he was trying on a pair, suddenly, he remembered something and took them off. The man was surprised and asked, “What’s wrong?”

It’s very early in the morning and I’m sitting outside. It’s also very cold and dark. With me is Jim Nightingale, and he is the reason I’m up so early. He passes me a hot cup of coffee. “Not long to wait now,” he says. I hope he’s right.
After a few minutes there is a very weak light in the east, and then I hear a bird singing. It sings very loud and very clear. “That’s the robin (知更鸟),” says Jim. A few more birds start singing with the robin and Jim knows the names of them too. Half an hour later, there are more and more birds singing, and it’s very loud! Suddenly, all around us the air is full of the sound of birdsong. This is the dawn chorus (晨鸣), and it’s beautiful.
“Wow this is amazing!” I tell Jim, who is smiling. “Is there a dawn chorus every morning?”
“Birds can sing any time of the year, but the best time is the end of winter and during the spring. This is when the birds sing most.” “Really? So, why do they sing?” I ask.
“Well, there are two reasons,” explains Jim. “Most of the songbirds who sing are males. They want to find a female (雌性) so they sing to show how strong they are. The females listen and choose the best singer! The birds also sing to tell other males to go away. They need their own area; they don't like sharing with another male.”
I listen to the birds; the songs seem too much to me. “Do the birds sing a special song in the morning?”
“That’s a good question,” replied Jim. “The successful birds have many kinds of calls and songs. Sometimes they copy the songs of other birds. This makes it sound like there are many birds in that place already and other males stay away. Also, the female likes songs with different notes. Some birds, for example, the European wren, have songs that contain over 700 different notes per minute!” So, how does Jim know so much about birds? Well, he works as a volunteer for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. He is trying to help the birds live in the modern world. “More and more of the birds’ habitat disappears every year. The sparrow, for example, was a very common bird in the UK, now it’s in danger.”
By now the sun is up and the birds are quiet. It’s light, so they can start looking for food, they need a big breakfast after all that singing.
31. Why does the writer get up early in the morning?
A. To visit her friend. B. To drink hot coffee.
C. To see different birds. D. To hear birds sing.
32. When you hear a bird sing in the morning, it’s most probably ________.
A. a robin B. a sparrow C. a male bird D. a female bird
33. A bird sings early in the morning mainly ________.
A. to start looking for food B. to fight with other males
C. to find a place to live in D. to call a female's attention
34. According to the text which of the following statements is true?
A. At first the writer is happy to be up so early in the morning.
B. Male birds have their own ways of fooling other birds.
C. It’s easier for the birds to find food early in the morning.
D. Jim has a job with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
35. The text is mainly about ________.
A. the robin’s songs B. why birds sing C. how to protect birds D. the birds’ habitat
D
One day, a raven (渡鸦) happened to fly past a lake. Looking at the lake, he saw the most beautiful animal he had ever seen. It was a swan (天鹅) and its feathers (羽毛) were as white as snow. The swan was playing with other birds happily, talking and dancing. And it seemed that the other birds all liked to stay with it. When he looked at his own feathers, they were as black as coal. The raven was very angry with the swan. “How can the swan have such wonderful feathers?” said the raven. What should he do with his feathers? He thought it over and over.
Then, the raven decided that he also wanted to have white feathers like the swan’s. From that day on, the raven began to live like the swan. He moved his home from the woods to the lake. He also started to eat water plants like the swan. He tried his best to talk and dance with the other birds. The most important was that each day, the raven would wash his feathers, hoping that they would turn white. Even he went to the nearby rivers and ponds to wash his feathers because he thought the water in the lakes was not enough for him to wash them. But no matter how hard he washed his feathers, they remained black.
As he ate only water plants, he soon grew thinner and thinner. Not many days later, the raven died.
36. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.
A. the raven B. the swan C. the feather D. the water
37. Why was the raven angry with the swan?

B. He wanted to see the swan's white feathers
C. He wanted to eat water plants
D. He wanted to become a swan

Social distancing during the outbreak of COVID-19 (新冠肺炎) helps save lives. It’s surprising to find that social distancing can also make the environment better.
Delhi, one of the most polluted cities in the world, went into a strict lockdown (居家隔离) on the 24th March, 2020. A study team looked at the PM2.5 particle concentration (浓度) in the air at the US embassy (大使馆) in Delhi before and after the lockdown. They found the PM 2.5 particle concentration dropped by 46%.
The new study also looked at solar power (太阳能) in Delhi. It has found that the reduction (减少) in air pollution has allowed a lot more sunlight to get through to solar panels in the city.
Overall, the amount of sunlight reaching solar panels in Delhi increased by around 8% in late March 2020, and 6% in April 2020 compared to similar dates in earlier years.

It’s very early in the morning and I’m sitting outside. It’s also very cold and dark. With me is Jim Nightingale, and he is the reason I’m up so early. He passes me a hot cup of coffee. “Not long to wait now,” he says. I hope he’s right.
After a few minutes there is a very weak light in the east, and then I hear a bird singing. It sings very loud and very clear. “That’s the robin (知更鸟),” says Jim. A few more birds start singing with the robin and Jim knows the names of them too. Half an hour later, there are more and more birds singing, and it’s very loud! Suddenly, all around us the air is full of the sound of birdsong. This is the dawn chorus (晨鸣), and it’s beautiful.
“Wow, this is amazing!” I tell Jim, who is smiling. “Is there a dawn chorus every morning?”
“Birds can sing any time of the year, but the best time is the end of winter and during the spring. This is when the birds sing most.” “Really? So, why do they sing?” I ask.
“Well, there are two reasons,” explains Jim. “Most of the songbirds who sing are males. They want to find a female (雌性) so they sing to show how strong they are. The females listen and choose the best singer! The birds also sing to tell other males to go away. They need their own area; they don't like sharing with another male.”
I listen to the birds; the songs seem too much to me. “Do the birds sing a special song in the morning?”
“That’s a good question,” replied Jim. “The successful birds have many kinds of calls and songs. Sometimes they copy the songs of other birds. This makes it sound like there are many birds in that place already and other males stay away. Also, the female likes songs with different notes. Some birds, for example, the European wren, have songs that contain over 700 different notes per minute!” So, how does Jim know so much about birds? Well, he works as a volunteer for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. He is trying to help the birds live in the modern world. “More and more of the birds’ habitat disappears every year. The sparrow, for example, was a very common bird in the UK, now it’s in danger.”
By now the sun is up and the birds are quiet. It’s light, so they can start looking for food, they need a big breakfast after all that singing.

One day, a raven (渡鸦) happened to fly past a lake. Looking at the lake, he saw the most beautiful animal he had ever seen. It was a swan (天鹅) and its feathers (羽毛) were as white as snow. The swan was playing with other birds happily, talking and dancing. And it seemed that the other birds all liked to stay with it. When he looked at his own feathers, they were as black as coal. The raven was very angry with the swan. “How can the swan have such wonderful feathers?” said the raven. What should he do with his feathers? He thought it over and over.
Then, the raven decided that he also wanted to have white feathers like the swan’s. From that day on, the raven began to live like the swan. He moved his home from the woods to the lake. He also started to eat water plants like the swan. He tried his best to talk and dance with the other birds. The most important was that each day, the raven would wash his feathers, hoping that they would turn white. Even he went to the nearby rivers and ponds to wash his feathers because he thought the water in the lakes was not enough for him to wash them. But no matter how hard he washed his feathers, they remained black.
As he ate only water plants, he soon grew thinner and thinner. Not many days later, the raven died.
