Module 6 The Tang Poems Animals in Danger (建议用时40分钟). 阅读理解A(2017湘潭模拟)Even though Brisbane is all about sun and surfing during the summer, spring time still brings a nice change to the place. That entire region is known as the gold coast, and it extends miles and miles of beaches with some of the best surfing condition in the world. In fact, you would be more pressed for time if you are just visiting, because there is so much for the nature buffs to see. They can see the wild animals and quiet and beautiful environment, and there are many interesting activities for them to do. If you are going there to relax then its probably safe to say that you want your hotel with a quiet and relaxing environment. You may even want to stay at a place like Urban Hotels located in Brisbane. You have everything you need right there in the hotel. A trip to Brisbane should not be spent indoors, especially during spring time when you have all of that natural beauty that surrounds you. The Botanical(植物)Gardens is a must to see during spring because plants have come to life from the cold weather and you get to see more flowers after a boring and cold winter. There are plenty of sports sites for you to visit, where you can do some climbing, boating and cycling. You can enjoy the fresh spring air and get some exercise at the same time. If you are in the mood for a bit of culture, then you can visit some of the galleries and museums located throughout the city. You can even go on a cruise(乘船游览)up the river. Its not quite the right time for surfing in spring, but surfing is still good in some places if you are brave enough to hit the water. 【文章大意】本文向读者介绍了在春天的时候, 到澳大利亚的布里斯班地区游玩是一个很好的选择。1.

But have you ever thought about how they developed this amazing ability? It may be impossible for us to go back in time in person to witness how it happened, but scientists from Yale University, US, studied the fossils of ancient birds. These fossils are like recorded tapes of ancient times that took the scientists back 150 million years. Back then, there lived a kind of animal known as the Archaeopteryx. It is considered to be the earliest bird because it had feathers and wingsthe key factors for a bird to fly. Meanwhile, it also had features of a reptile, such as teeth in its mouth, claws on its wings, and a long, bony tail, which means the ancestors of birds were probably reptiles. In order to escape from dangerous animals, reptiles leaped from tree to tree. They gradually grew feathers on their arms so they could leap a little farther, then a little farther still. However, they were far from becoming true fliers because their wings and feathers were quite different from those of birds today. Looking closely at the fossils, scientists found that ancient feathers contained many layers of long feathers, like a penguins. This made the wings rather heavy and difficult for birds to move up and down. “We dont think these things could take off from the ground, ”said Nicholas Longrich, of Yale University, lead author of the study. “They cant fly like a modern bird. ”This is why scientists concluded that early feathers were only used by birds to glide(滑翔)from high trees, or keep warm, or maybe as camouflage(伪装), but not flying, according to National Geographic. Over the next millions of years, the evolution of feathers never stopped. Birds developed wings that included a layer of long feathers covered with short feathers on top. This structure allowed birds to separate their feathers more easily to create wider span(翼展)and to change directions in midair. They have also grown special wrist bones so that they can spread their wings when flying and fold them into their sides when walking. “This new research is throwing light not just on how birds came to fly, but more specially on how feathers came to be the way they are todayone of the most amazing and highly specialized structures in nature, ”said Jakob Vinther, from the University of Bristol, UK. 【文章大意】在我们的意识里, 鸟都是会飞的。但是最初的鸟又是什么样子的呢? 5.

A. they have layers of long feathersB. they have special wrist bones so that they can change directions in midairC. they have a layer of long feathers topped with a layer of short feathersD. they have teeth in the mouth and long bony tails【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Over the next millions of years, the evolution of feathers never stopped. Birds developed wings that included a layer of long feathers covered with short feathers on top. 可知, 答案选C。7. What is critical in finding out how feathers came to be the way they are? A. Fossils of ancient birdsB. Tapes of old timesC. Comparing features of reptiles and birdsD. Studying bones and structures of modern birds【解析】选A。细节理解题。由最后一段This new research is throwing light not just on how birds came to fly, but more specially on how feathers came to be the way they are today. 可知, 这次新的研究, 也就是上面提到的古老的鸟类的化石研究揭示了鸟类的羽毛是怎样成为今天这个样子的。8.
