maybe you thought that they were just happy. after all, you probably sing or whistle(吹口哨) when you are happy.some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. however they sing most of the time for a very different reason. their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory. do you know what a territory is? a territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims(声明) as its own. only he and his family are welcome there. no other families of the same species(物种) are welcome. your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. if a stranger should enter your territory and frighten you, you might shout. probably this would be enough to frighten him away.if so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. a bird does the same thing. but he expects an outsider(外人) almost any time, especially at nesting(筑巢) season. so he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. this screaming is what we call a birds song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.birds sing louder in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate(配偶) and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.you can see that birds have a language of their own. most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.53. some scientists believe that most of the time birds singing is actually _ . a. an expression of happiness b. a way of warning c. an expression of anger d. a way of greeting54. what does the underlined(划线的) word territory mean? a. a place where families of other species are living. b. a place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice. c. an area where birds fight against each other. d. an area which a bird considers to be its own.55. why do birds keep on singing at nesting season? a. because they want to invite more friends. b. because their singing helps frighten outsiders around. c. because they want to find outsiders around. d. because their singing helps get rid of their fears.56. how does the writer explain birds singing? a. by comparing birds with human being（人类）. b. by reporting results of experiments c. by describing birds daily life. d. by telling a birds storydplay is the basic(基本的) business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. from earliest infancy(婴儿), every child needs chances and right materials for play, and the main tools(工具) of play are toys. the main function(功能) of toys is to suggest, encourage and play. to succeed in this, they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back again and again. therefore, it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages(阶段) of a childs development.in recent years, research on baby development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited(遗传的) abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. so a babys ability to benefit from the right play materials should not be underestimated(低估). a baby who is encouraged, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.in the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity(好奇心) knows no bounds. every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability: bricks and jigsaws(七巧板) and construction toys; painting, scribbling(涂鸦) and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play-the first social games for learning to play and get on with others.but at the third stage of play development-from five to seven or eight years old- the child is at school. but for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. it is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. but once reading has been mastered, then books become the main source(来源)of learning. toys are still interesting and valuable, which lead up to new hobbies, but their significance has changed to a child of nine or ten years old, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.57. what does the writer want to tell us in the first paragraph? a. children should choose toys by themselves. b. children like playing, but they dont need any toys. c. children should be given different toys as they grow up. d. children should be given the same toys as they grow up.58. according to the passage, we can give the child every kind of toys_. a. when he is two b. when he is around four c. when he is six d. when he is eight 59. when a child is seven years old, what is the main source of learning? a. toys. b. books. c. jigsaws. d. paintings.60. what is the article mainly about? a. the importance of schooling. b. the choice of toys for children. c. the importance of pre-school education. d. the role of play in a childs development.第ii卷（四大题，共55分）四、单词拼写（共10小题：每小题1分，满分10分） (a)根据下列句子及所给汉语注释，在答题纸标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空只写一词。61. in fact, tigers in india are （消失）faster than pandas because they are being killed for their skin and bones.62. roman holiday was a big success and hepburn became famous （马上）63. it is wise of suzy to bring （气球）of a
