wild place of Arizona thousands of miles from the Channel Islands in Jersey where they had been looked after by zookeepers No evolutionary strategies informed them how to behave in this new landscape of mountainous pine forest unoccupied by their kind for 50 years To the researchers surprise they failed to make contact with a group of wild parrots imported from Mexico and set free at the same time Within 24 hours the reintroducing ended in failure and the poor birds were back in cages on their way to the safety of the Arizona reintroduction programme Ever since then the programme has enjoyed great success mainly because the birds 4 now being set free are Mexican birds illegally caught in the wild confiscated 没收 on arrival north of the border and raised by their parents in the safety of the programme The experience shows how little we know about the behaviour and psychology 心理 of parrots as Peter BenneR a bird researcher points out Reintroducing species of high intelligence like parrots is a lot more difficult People like parrots always treating them as nothing more than pets or valuable collectables Now that many species of parrot are in immediate danger of dying out biologists are working together to study the natural history and the behaviour of this family of birds Last year was an important tuning point conservationists founded the World Parrot Trust based at Hayle in Cornwal to support research into both wild and caged birds Research on parrots is vital for two reasons First as the Arizona programme showed when reintroducing parrots to the wild we need to be aware of what the birds must know if they are to survive in their natural home We also need to learn more about the needs of parrots kept as pets particularly as the Trust S campaign does not attempt to discourage the practice but rather urges people who buy parrots as pets to choose birds raised by humans 55 What do we know about the area where the five parrots were reintroduced A Its landscape is new to parrots of their kind B It used to be home to parrots of their kind C It is close to where they had been kept D Pine trees were planted to attract birds 56 The reintroducing experience three years ago shows that man raised parrots A can find their way back home in Jersey B are unable to recognize their parents C are unable to adapt to the wild D can produce a new species 57 Why are researches on parrots important according to the passage A The Trust shows great concern for the programme B We need to know more about how to preserve parrots C Many people are interested in collecting parrots D Parrots intelligence may some day benefit people 5 58 According to the passage people are advised A to treat wild and caged parrots equally B to set up comfortable homes for parrots C not to keep wild parrots as pets D not to let more parrots go to the wild C C 2009湖北 D A few years ago Paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las Vegas to ask then what it would take to design a public school that used 50 percent less energy cost much less to build and obviously improved student learning I think half of them fell of their chairs Gerner says Gerner manages school facilities 设施 for Clark County Nevada a district roughly the size of Massachusetts By 2018 143 000 additional students will enter the already crowded public education system Gerner needs 73 new schools to house them Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes 样品 they plan to construct their schools starting in 2009 The district will then assess how well the schools perform and three winners will copy those designs in 50 to 70 new buildings Green schools are appearing al over but in Clark County which stands out for its vastness such aggressive targets are difficult because design requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate One of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation 朝向 Mark McGinty a director at SH Architecture says His firm recently completed a high school in Las Vegas You have the same building same set of windows but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun it will be really expensive to cool Surprisingly the man responsible for one of the most progressive green design competitions has doubts about ideas of eco friendly buildings I don t believe in the new green religion Gerner says Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical I m interested in those that work But he wouldn t mind if some green features inspire students He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power You never know what s going to start the interest of child to study math and science he says 63 How did the architects react to Gerner s design requirements 6 A They lost balance in excitement B They showed strong disbelief C They expressed little interest D They burst into cheers 64 Which order of steps is followed in carrying out the project A Assessment Prototype Design Construction B Assessment Design Prototype Construction C Design Assessment Prototype Construction D Design Prototype Assessment Construction 65 What makes it difficult to build green schools in Clark County A The large size B Limited facilities C The desert climate D Poor natural resources 66 What does Gerner think of the ideas of green schools A They are questionable B They are out of date C They are advanced D They are practical 第二节 信息匹配 共5小题 每小题2分 满分10分
