thousandsScientists say birds such as the cuckoo （布谷鸟）, whose song announces the arrival of warm weather in Britain, are dropping in numbersA typical migrant bird （候鸟） from Africa, cuckoo may no longer make its annual appearance in the woodlands in Britain, says a scientistNumbers of migrant birds from Africa have declined seriously in the UK since 1995For cuckoos the figure is 44%The call of the cuckoo could be silenced in the near futureThe real problem is that there are so many different possible causes for the losswhich makes it difficult to find out the real reasons for their decline and to prepare plans to put things rightThe loss could be the result of changes in farmland use in Britain which are affecting the way cuckoos breed （繁殖） when they arrive here in springOn top of changes of land use, scientists suspect that many cuckoos are finding it increasingly difficult to feed themselves when they come to breed in BritainThe large insects they eat have dropped rapidly in number hereClimate change might be another important reasonMigrant cuckoos arrive and breed at times which are no longer the best periods when food, such as insects, is availableClimate changes also affect timings of breeding cyclesOr the loss could be due to the increase of human populations in Africa and the destruction of natural living environment where they make their homes in winterApart from these, the killing takes place in spring and autumn when cuckoos, flying from and to Africa, cross islands in the Mediterranean SeaThey are shot in their hundreds of thousands by hunters who just enjoy killing them for the “sport”It is against the European Union law, but that doesnt stop it happeningSheehan, a scientist, said, cuckoos “arrive in our countryside just as the first good weather arrivesWe associate them with spring and warmthThat is why they appear so often in old English storiesThey are part of our culturewhich makes the decline in their number so worrying” 51What can be inferred from the underlined part in Paragraph 2?ACuckoos may arrive in warm weatherBCuckoos may rarely be seen in BritainCCuckoos may appear every two yearsDCuckoos may come back to the woodlands52Concerning the rapid decrease in the number of cuckoos, scientists _Afind it difficult to discover the real reasonsBknow few possible causes for the lossChave plans to put things rightDdoubt if the data are accurate53According to the passage, what happens in Britain that possibly causes the decline of cuckoos?AMany hunters kill cuckoos for funBCuckoos main food is getting lessCPolicies on land use have changedDHuman population increases rapidly54Which could be the best title for the passage? ACuckoos, Who Take Away Your Food?BClimate Change: A Danger to CuckoosCSpring May Lose Song of CuckoosDA Song for Englands CuckoosBJust over a year ago, life as an orphan （孤儿） girl in Tilinanu, southern Malawi, was uncertainRelying on the kindness of the poor villagers for a roof over their head, many had to sleep in a room that held as many as fifteen people, eating a diet mainly of porridgeTheir classroom for daily lessons was an open space in the bushNow 34 of them have comfortable beds in a smart new home, with a community hall and medical centre next to itAnother 175 village children eat there daily, with the adults coming in to learn English; its an amazing transformationEven more amazing is that the person behind it is just 21When Alice Pulford was waiting to get into university, she took a five-month teaching position in MalawiShe loved the place, and returned in the spring of 2009 to visit her friend Zulu in TilinanuHis aunt Mercy owned land there and was doing her best to provide an education for the orphans, many of whom had lost parents to AIDS or malaria （疟疾）But after helping Mercy out for some time, Alice realised that what the girls in particular really needed was a safe and permanent place to liveThere was a derelict （年久失修的） church on Mercys land“If you give me the church, Ill set up a home for these children,” Alice told herMercy agreedAlice phoned home and told her family about her planThe family had already helped Alice raise 1,800 to assist the orphansAfter they received Alices call, they threw themselves into raising another 6,000, organising theatre trips and special parties and dinnersAlice found Malawian builders, selected materials and even helped with the brick-layingIn ten weeks, the church became a dormitory with toilets and a living areaIn spring last year, Alice raised another 19,000 to build the medical centre and two new dormitoriesThe girls are happierand so is Alice, who has been spending around four months in Malawi a year“The orphans think theyre gaining from me, but when I see their smile, it transforms me,” she says55Over a year ago, the orphans didnt have _Aa classroom Ba teacher Cshelter Dfood56What is known about the home Alice has built for the orphans? AIt looks like a community hall BIt depends on the villagers help CIt provides a place for recreation DIt benefits both the children and adults57The Pulfords family are _Ashort of money Bfond of entertainmentsCsupportive of each other Dunaware of Alices plan58What has Alice learned from her experience? AMoney-raising is a family businessBWinning orphans smile calls for skillsCAIDS has made many children parentlessDHelping others brings changes in a personCMargaret Cook is a professional, married woman with two young childrenThe elder, who is four, has just started at a local primary schoolIt is a school that she was eager for her daughter to attend because it has a mix of racial and social culturesAs a white from a middle-class family, she thought it important for her daughter to go to a local school that was representative of the cultural and social mix of the society in which we liveHaving met, however, some of the other parents and children, shes becoming increasingly unsure about her choiceShe is worried that along with the accent and vocabulary of her classmates, her daughter will also pick up what appears to be a very narrow-minded, uneducated attitudeShe wants her daughter to be able to adapt and to fit in with her friends at school, but not necessarily to model her behaviour on theirsShe wants her to like them but not be like themIs she worrying unnecessarily? Or should she abandon her principles and send her children to private school? A report, published by the Independent Schools Council, shows record numbers of parents want to send their children to private schools that stress “moral standards” and classroom discipline as they lose faith in state education, even many Labour voters would consider going private for the first time if they could afford the feesBut is it right without question to see private schools as heavens where moral standards are high, teachers are models of correctness and learning, children all come from open-minded families, and where our little ones will be protected from the ills of the world? The only difference is that those who can afford school fees are in the habit of making expensive mistakesOne of my colleagues who sends all his children to private schools tells stories of drug abuse, troublemakers, the decline of discipline and ever younger age of rebellion （叛逆）Its an excellent plan to send our children to a mixed schoolPlaced in an entirely new environment, they are at the risk of rejection, bullying （欺负） and maybe long-term alienation （疏离）But as soon as our children step out of the front door they are faced with a challenging world where boundary between the good and bad is so complex that young people have difficulty telling them apartFor this reason I believe that Cook is better advised to bring her children up in the real world59From this passage we know that the womans daughter _Ais changing others behavior Bis mixing with trouble-makersCis attending a mixed school Dis applying for a private school60The mother wants her daughter to be _Apopular and attractive Ba fighter against social illsCa model for her classmates Dopen-minded and well-educated61What does the writer think of the private school?AIts a heaven of pleasure BIt is going from bad to worseCIt is experiencing moral decline DIts a place of high moral standard62The writer suggests sending kids to a mixed school because he thinks _Ait is well managed Bit is close to the real worldCkids there are well protected Dthe competition there isnt fierceDSolar electric systems pay off most quickly for consumers who use a lot of energy because extra charges are given for heavy use, but the solar system still makes sense for low-energy users such as myselfSo much of Americans carbon footprint results fro
