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.

C

 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 (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 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).

 In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations _UNESCO and National Geographic among them—have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.

Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in the languages and  oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.

Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India , Nepal, Bhutan, and China . But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.

At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials-including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.

Now, through the two organizations that he has founded –the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project __Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, for the world available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.

32. Many scholars are making efforts to ______.

A. promote global languages          B. rescue disappearing languages

C. search for language communities    D. set up language research organizations.

33. What does “that tradition’ in Paragraph 3 refer to ?

A. Having full records of the languages

B. Writing books on language teaching.

C. Telling stories about language users

D. Living with the native speaker.

34. What is Turin’s book based on?

A. The cultual studies              B. The documents available at Yale.    

C. His language research in Bhutan.   D. His personal experience in Nepal.

35. Which of the following best describe Turin’s work?

A. Write, sell and donate.         B. Record, repair and reward.

C. Collect, protect and reconnect.   D. Design, experiment and report.
