To me, it is so amazing that this village, named Bysicky, which is located in Bohemia in the Czech Republic, has sustained blizzards (暴风雪) and wars for all this time, but has still kept its special charm. Unlike transportation you’d find in Prague such as the metro or the tram, the most common way to get around in the countryside is by bike, as it’s a lot more convenient. So on Saturday morning, I departed from home on a bike ride with my host family. After an 8-kilometer journey, we finally arrived at the village. There was a road that led straight into the center of the village. Many stalls selling pizza, beer and ice cream were by the roadside. You could hear guitar music coming from the other side of the road, where an outdoor stage stood on a large area of meadow(草地). When the performance from the guitarists finished, a group of children wearing traditional costumes came on stage. As the crowd applauded loudly, the children were divided into three groups. A group of older kids playing different musical instruments stood on the left side, a group performing typical Czech dances was on the right, and a choir sang beautifully in the center. Many of those present were relatives of the children, and we were there because my sister was a member of the dancing group. On the edge of the grassland, there were girls riding horses. The end of the road led to a circled space, where the city hall stood in the middle, surrounded by a circle of colorful cottages. In front of the houses there were also many markets and a radio station reporting on the event. So this is what a typical village celebration looks like, with markets food and performances from traditional Czech culture, which is quite different from festivals in big cities. Czech people value their history, so there will always be parties to celebrate a place’s existence or to be in memory of an important person in history. There are no high buildings in these villages, but people still like to go there to spend their weekends because of the peaceful environment. I guess that is what life really means. 1.What can we learn from the text about Bysicky? A.The most convenient transport here is the metro. B.The outdoor stage was set up in front of the city hall. C.The author's host family lives in the village. D.It has a long history. 2.After they arrived at Bysicky, the author ____. A.came across a famous choir giving a performance B.heard music played by a group of guitarists C.danced with local kids in traditional costumes D.rode horses on the grass nearby 3.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.The author dislikes festivals in big cities. B.Czech people take pride in their culture and history. C.Czech people don’t like to live in high buildings. D.Czech people always enjoy their lives to the fullest. 4.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article? A.To describe a typical village celebration in the Czech Republic. B.To give tips on how to tour around Bysicky. C.To inform us of different traditional Czech festivals. D.To explain the long history of Bysicky and its people. B Researchers have found that seabirds, including albatrosses (信天翁) and penguins, have a very sensitive (敏感的) part in their beaks (喙) called a “bill-tip organ.” Some other birds are known to use this organ, but this is the first time it has been found in seabirds. Experts think it might help the birds find food. To find out if the birds have this feature in their beaks, researchers from the UK and South Africa studied 361 modern bird species. The team examined the birds’ beaks to study their structure and find out how they are connected to the animals’ nerves. The scientists found that both albatrosses and penguins have bill-tip organs in their beaks. Seabirds were not known to search for food using their sense of touch, so the researchers were surprised. It’s possible that this could be a leftover trait from a common ancestor that doesn’t have a specific function in modern birds. This is already the case for emus and ostriches, which have a bill-tip organ but don’t use it. Scientists now need to do more studies on the birds’ behaviour to understand what they use the bill-tip organ for. This could help them learn why some species have developed the organ. Lead researcher Carla du Toit said, “It represents an important stepping stone in understanding how birds evolved (进化).” The research could also help protect albatrosses in the wild, since more than half of albatross species are threatened with extinction. One big threat to these birds is “longline” fishing. In this type of fishing, longlines are pulled behind a boat to catch fish, and the albatrosses sometimes get trapped because of the lines. Researchers think that if they can learn more about how albatrosses get their food, humans might be better able to protect the birds in the future. For example, if albatrosses use their bill-tip organs to discover vibrations (震动) caused by fish, a device shaking repeatedly could be added to longlines to upset albatrosses, thus preventing the birds from going near the fishing boats. 5．What can we learn about the research from the first two paragraphs? A．The bill-tip organ makes penguins unique. B．The bill-tip organ may benefit birds to seek food. C．Seabirds are less sensitive than other birds. D．Seabirds are famous for their beak structure. 6．Why did the scientists study the function of the bill-tip organ? A．To revive ancient birds. B．To learn about birds’ evolution. C．To discover new bird species. D．To understand birds’ behaviour. 7．What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the research? A．The aim. B．The background. C．The result. D．The application. 8．How can the device help protect the albatrosses? A．By shaking fishing ships. B．By locating the albatrosses. C．By sending confusing signals. D．By shortening the fishing lines. II.七选五 The Lantern Festival, a traditional Chinese festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
