of the united states in unbelievable numbers. written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks(群) so large that they darkened the sky for hours.it was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion 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 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by americans need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring 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 wild 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, 1914.51. in the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons _.a. were the biggest bird in the worldb. lived mainly in the south of americac. did great harm to the natural environmentd. were the largest bird population in the us52. the underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons _.a. escape b. ruinc. liberationd. evolution53. 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.54. what can we infer about the law passed in michigan?a. it was ignored.b. it was too late.c. it was unfair.d. it was strict.55. which of the following is the best title of the passage?a. the protection of passenger pigeons.b. the abundance of passenger pigeons.c. the disappearance of passenger pigeons.d. the population of passenger pigeons.das 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 center, 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, found in libraries and stores around 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.56. many scholars are making efforts to _.a. promote global languageb. rescue disappearing languagesc. search for language communitiesd. set up language research organizations57. what does “that tradition” in paragraph 3 refer to?a. having records of the languages.b. writing books on language teaching.c. telling stories about language users.d. living with the native speakers.58. what is turins book based on?a. the cultural studies in india.b. the documents available at yale.c. his language rese
