We arrive to thousands of birds squawking (发出刺耳的尖叫声) their heads off, like theyre all telling us good morning.Im doing what I love to do most: making wildlife movies. Getting great footage (镜头) takes perfect stillness not to disturb the natural setting. Some might find that difficult, but not me. Thats because Im a quadriplegic, which means I cant move my legs and have limited movement in my arms and hands.My disability means that I just have to find a different way of doing things.When I first started filming wildlife, my dad and I had to figure out what tools I needed because I couldnt hold the video camera. First we set the camera on a tripod (三脚架) right between my feet. But since I tilted (倾斜) back on my chair for balance, the horizon looked tilted. Then my dad fixed the video camera on a helmet I wore. But it would shake when my head moved.Now I connect the camera to a portable DVD player that I hold on my lap, and I can see on the DVD screen what the video camera sees, even though its far away. I control the camera with a wireless remote to zoom (变焦), focus, and record. Its amazing.The first morning out there filming in a wheelchair was a little scary because Id never done anything like it. But now, I dont even think about my wheelchair. Its almost like its another part of my body. My friends and family pretty much see it the same way.Still, there are always people who just cant stop staring. Most of the time I just smile and wave to show them I dont care. But its a disappointment that they think I cant do the things they can.OK, so Im never going to have a life like a “normal” kid. But why waste time feeling sorry for myself? Everyone has bumps (凸块) in the road that they have to deal with. Thats all being in a wheelchair is for me: just a little bump in the road.41. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Making wildlife movies.B. Taking pictures of animals in the wild.C. Filming in wheelchairs.D. Keeping still so as not to disturb wildlife.42. How does the author film wildlife now?A. He sets the camera on a tripod right between his feet.B. He fixes the camera on a helmet he wears.C. He connects a portable DVD player to the camera.D. He puts the camera in his wheelchair.43. How did the author feel the first time he filmed in a wheelchair?A. Very excited.B. Rather honored. C. Quite disappointed.D. A little frightened.44. Which words can we use to describe the author?A. Sensitive and stubborn.B. Strong and optimistic. C. Proud and ambitious. D. Selfless and positive.B2008 Good Neighbor Dream Vacation PackageStay close to the magic and make your dreams come true.

The initial ban, introduced in August 2006, applied to the period between 5 pm and 8 pm, which resulted in a sharp decrease of foreign cartoons on local TV.Cartoons co-produced by domestic and foreign firms will have to be approved by the SARFT to air between 5 pm and 9 pm. Only domestic cartoons approved by the SARFT or provincial broadcasting authorities can be aired during the “golden hours”, it said.“The ban will improve the SARFTs management over cartoon programs and create a favorable environment for the domestic cartoon industry,” the notice said.China produced almost 1,700 hours of animation (动画片) last year a 23 percent jump over 2006 when the output was 81,000 minutes, according to the notice. The first foreign cartoon Japans Astro Boy series was introduced to China in 1981. Since then, a large quantity of foreign cartoons have flooded into China.In 2000, a SARFT regulation required local TV stations to obtain approval from the administration and set quotas (配额) for imported cartoons aired on TV. At that time, the cartoon industry was almost completely controlled by Japanese products.Aside from foreign cartoons, China has issued a series of bans over horror videos, audio products and medical ads that over-emphasized their good effects.49. What does the underlined word “initial” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Next. B. Important. C. Original. D. Only.50. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The domestic cartoon industry is in a period of depression.B. Foreign cartoons were banned from being aired on TV in 2000.C. In 2000, most cartoons broadcast in China were imported from Japan.D. TV stations in China are in charge of SARFT.51. Why does the Chinese government ban foreign cartoons broadcast?A. The Chinese government wants to help develop its own cartoon industry. B. Foreign cartoons make a bad impression on Chinese children.C. Some foreign cartoons are not of good quality.D. Foreign cartoons are sometimes horrible. 52. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Foreign cartoons side effectB. Foreign cartoon ban extendedC. Foreign cartoon regulationD. Foreign cartoons and domestic cartoons DJust as grandma and grandpa help take care of the kids, senior birds have now been seen for the first time behaving like grandparents. The new findings could help solve the problem of how grandparenting rare in the animal kingdom except in humans develops.In a very small number of mammal species other than humans such as pilot whales and some monkeys researchers have occasionally seen older adults engage in what might be grandparenting. Still, this behavior remains largely overlooked outside humans, explained molecular ecologist (分子生态学家) David Richardson of the University of East Anglia in England. For more than 10 years, Richardson and his colleagues have investigated the Seychelles warbler, once one of the worlds rarest birds. Conservation efforts have now helped rescue this tropical songbird from the edge of extinction (绝种). The small island the researchers worked on is also the nesting site of half a million seabirds. Richardson said that the constant rain of bird droppings means “a hat is a must”. In addition, “although the island is incredibly beautiful, it can also be full of mosquitoes, especially in the jungle. In some wet years you would be lucky to get away with 300 to 400 bites a day. Fortunately, there is no human malaria (疟疾), so it is not life-threatening.”Now the researchers find that, as in humans, older adult birds that no longer produce babies often help their children to raise their young. This helps the grandparents protect their genes, Richardson suggested. Suitable territory for producing babies on the islands is limited, so older adults typically stop doing it there. The researchers discovered that about two-thirds of such older female Seychelles warblers helped their daughters raise baby birds. “Because the senior females are helping to raise baby birds they are related to, they are helping to produce more birds and increasing the spread of their genes,” Richardson said. “This has never been seen in birds.”To find overlooked grandparenting elsewhere in the animal kingdom, Richardson suggested looking at animal societies “where multiple adults help raise baby birds that involve relatively long-lived individuals in relatively favorable environments low predation (捕食现象), disease, no cruel climate events.” In such situations, adults might live long enough to help raise their grandchildren. 53. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?A. Many mammal species help raise their grandchildren.B. Grandparenting behavior of birds was found long ago.C. Scientists paid little attention to the grandparenting behavior of birds.D. Grandparenting behavior of humans doesnt attract the interest of scientists.54. Why did Richardson say “a hat is a must” when they did research on the small island? A. Because it has a lot of rain there. B. Because its full of mosquitoes there. C. Because its extremely wonderful there. D. Because therere lots of bird droppings there. 55. What do you know about Seychelles warblers?A. They used to be one of the worlds rarest birds. B. These songbirds have disappeared from the world. C. All of them help their daughters raise baby birds. D. Old Seychelles warblers can produce babies on any island.56. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The tropical songbird B. Birds act like grandparents C. How grandparenting develops D. Common behavior in the animal kingdom EIn Europe, more than half of the 100 designers employed in the carmaking industry are art graduates.
