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
the
sky for
hours.
It was
calculated that when it population reached its
highest point ,they were more than
3billlion
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 American’s need for wood, which
scattered (
驱散
) the flocks
and forced the
birds to
go farther north, where cold
temperatures and 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 wi 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 19teh 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.

A typical lion
tamer
(驯兽师)
in people’s mind
is an entertainer holding a whip(
鞭
) at a
chair.
The whip gets all of the attention, but it’s
mostly for show. In reality, it’ the chair that
does
the important work. When a lion
tamer holds a chair n 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 .
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
been
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 cant’ 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
waving
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
trick the lion.
B. To show off his skills.
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 changes.
D. They have to do something for show
30. What is the author’s attitude
towards the expert mentioned in
Paragraph3?
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).
