The structure of the book seems simple.Written as a diary covering the months from October to April,each entry documents Baker's daily observations of falcons hunting,feeding,and flying.However, his writing makes these observations feel like art.Baker's language is rich,precise,and often surprising, bringing falcons vividly to life.His descriptions of falcons allow readers to experience the birds'world as if they were witnessing it firsthand. What truly sets The Peregrine apart is Baker's deep identification with falcons.He is not a diatant observer,but a participant in the landscape.His pursuit of falcons drives him to spend countless hours tracking and watching them.This pursuit is evident in the extraordinary level of detail he provides- from falcons'physical characteristics to their behavioral patterns."I felt myself being drawn ever more deeply into the falcon's world,"he writes,"My mind was in flight with them." Still,The Peregrine is not without its challenges.Baker's writing is rich with symbolism,which may feel inaccessible to some and requires readers to fully engage with the text.Additionally,the book's narrow focus on a single species might not appeal to those who prefer broader naturalist accounts. Despite these potential drawbacks,The Peregrine has inspired generations of writers and naturalists, and its influence is evident in many contemporary works that explore the human experience and the natural world. 32.What makes The Peregrine different from traditional nature writing? A.Wide various topics. B.Made-up bird stories. C.Landscape descriptions. D.Science plus poetic language. 33.What can we learn from Baker's words in paragraph 3? A.He felt a deep bond with falcons. B.He preferred studying landscapes. C.He found it hard to understand falcons. D.He enjoyed watching falcons at a distance. 34.What can be inferred about The Peregrine from paragraph 4? A.It lacks focus and depth. B.It is demanding to read. C.It is too focused on style. D.It uses little emotional language. 35.What does the author think of The Peregrine? A.It has a powerful and lasting influence. B.It has changed how people protect rare birds. C.It has been praised for its contribution to science. D.It has inspired debates over birdwatching methods. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最住选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Exploring the Grand Canyon is an exciting experience at any age.For more cxperienced adventurers. the famous hike provides awe-inspiring views and unforgettable memories.36At 92 years old.
