Passenger
pigeons(
旅鸽
)
once
flew
over
much
of
the
United
States
in
unbelievable
numbers.
Written
accounts from the
18
th
and
19
th
centuries described
flocks(
群
) so large that they
darkened the sky for hours.
It
was
calculated
that
when
its
population
reached
its
highest
point,
there
were
more
than
3
billion
passenger
pigeons
–
a
number
equal
to
24
to
40
percent
of
the
total
bird
population
in
the
United
States,
making it perhaps the most abundant
bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their
numbers had already
become smaller, a
flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles
(about 515 kilometers) long was seen near
Cincinnati.
Sadly, the
abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their
undoing. Where the birds were
most
abundant, people
believed there was an ever-lasting supply and
killed them by the thousands. Commercial
hunters attracted them to small
clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had
settled to feed, then threw large
nets over them, taking hundreds at a
time. The birds were shipped to large cities and
sold in restaurants.
By the closing
decades of the 19
th
century,
the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons
nested had
been damaged by Americans’
need for wood, which scattered
(
驱散
) the flocks and forced
the birds to go
farther north, where
cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to
their decline. Soon the great flocks
were gone, never to be seen again.
In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a
law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons,
but by then, no
sizable flocks had been
seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed
wild pigeon in the United States was
shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in
1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human
care. The last of
them, known
affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati
Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.
24. In the 18
th
and early 19
th
centuries,
passenger pigeons _______.
A. were the
biggest bird in the world
B. lived
mainly in the south of America
C. did
great harm to the natural environment
D. were the largest bird population in
the US
25. The underlined word
“undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’
______.
A. escape
B. ruin
C. liberation
D. evolution
26. What was the main reason for people
to kill passenger pigeons?
A. To seek
pleasure.
B. To
save other birds.
C. To make money.
D.
To
protect
crops.
27. What can we infer about the law
passed in Michigan?
A. It was ignored
by the public.
B. It was declared too
late.
C. It was unfair.
D. It was
strict.
C
A typical lion
tamer (
驯兽师
) in people’s mind
is an entertainer holding a whip
(
鞭
) and a chair. The
whip gets all of the attention, but
it’s mostly for show. In reality, it’s the chair
that does the important work.
When a
lion tamer hol
ds a chair in front of
the lion’s face, the lion tries to focus on all
four legs of the chair at
the same
time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes
confused and is unsure about what to do next. When
faced
with
so
many
options,
the
lion
chooses
to
freeze
and
wait
instead
of
attacking
the
man
holding
the
chair.
How often do you find
yourself in the same position as the lion? How
often do you have something you
want
to
achieve
(e.g.
lose weight,
start
a business,
travel
more)
----
only
to
end up
confused
by
all
of
the
options in
front of you and never make progress?
This upsets me to no end because while
all the experts are busy debating about which
option is best, the
people who want to
improve their lives are left confused by all of
the conflicting information. The end result
is that we feel like we can’t focus or
that we’re focused on the wrong things, and so we
take less action, make
less progress,
and stay the same when we could be improving.
It doesn’t have to be that way. Anytime
you find the world w
aving a chair in
your face, remember this:
All you need
to do is focus on one thing. You just need to get
started. Starting before you feel ready is one of
the habits of successful people. If you
have somewhere you want to go, something you want
to accomplish,
someone you want to
become … take immediate action. If you’re clear
about where you want to go, the rest
of
the world will either help you get there or get
out of the way.
28. Why does the lion
tamer use a chair?
A. To show off his
skills.
B. To trick the lion.
C. To get ready for a fight.
D.
To entertain the audience.
29. In what
sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?
A. They feel puzzled over choices.
B. They hold on
to the wrong things.
C. They find it
hard to make changed.
D.
They have to do something for show.
30.
What is the author’s attitude towards the experts
mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A.
Tolerant.
B. Doubtful.
C. Respectful.
D. Supportive.
31. When the world is “waving a chair
in your face”, you’re advised to
_______
.
A. wait for a
better chance
B. break your old habits
C.
make a quick decision
D. ask for
clear guidance
D
As more and
more people speak the global languages of English,
Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other
languages
are
rapidly
disappearing.
In
fact,
half
of
the
6,000
—
7,000
languages
spoken
around
the
world
today
will
likely
die
out
by
the
next
century,
according
to
the
United Nations
Educational,
Scientific,
and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
