Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing or whistle 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 as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species 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 threaten 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 almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So hes screaming (高声尖叫) 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 loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate 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 something to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.本文通过与人类的对比，讲述了鸟的叫声存在着不同的含义。21. Some scientists believe that most of the time birds singing is actually_.A. an expression of happinessB. a way of warningC. an expression of angerD. a language of their own答案：B细节理解题。根据第二段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.可知答案为B。22. What is a birds “territory”？A. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.B. A place where other bird families are not accepted.C. An area for which birds fight against each other.D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.答案：D细节理解题。根据第三段A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims as its own.可知答案为D。23. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?A. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.B. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.C. Because they want to find outsiders around.D. Because they want to invite more bird friends.答案：A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，在筑巢期间它的叫声其实是在吓走外面的鸟。24. How does the writer explain birds singing?A. By comparing birds with human beings.B. By reporting experimental results.C. By describing birds daily life.D. By telling a birds story.答案：A写作手法题。通读全文我们不难看出，作者不断地把人类和鸟进行对比。BA Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points more on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity (肥胖) rates. The study of 8,179 was reported in the British Medical Journal.Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970,366 of the participants said they were vegetarianalthough more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.Men who were vegetarian had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for nonvegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for nonvegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ score between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarian but reported eating fish or chicken.Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically (统计地) significant after adjusting for these factors.Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or professional qualifications than nonvegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of nonvegetarians. Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, “The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians than adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease (冠心病) in adult life.”But Dr. Frankie Phillips, of the British Dietetic Association, said: “It_is_like_the_chicken_and_the_egg. Do people become vegetarian because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues？”一项科学研究发现：素食与高智商有关。25. Whats the result of the research mentioned in the text?A. Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.B. Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life.C. Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life.D. Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life.答案：A细节理解题。根据第一段中的“people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10”知A项正确。根据“it could explain why.”可知这一结果可帮助解释B项中的现象，但B项并非这次研究的结果。故选A项。26. It was found in the research that_.A. most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried outB. vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetariansC. female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than nonvegetariansD. vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than nonvegetarians答案：B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“There was no difference in the IQ scores between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken”可知答案。27. Catharine Gale talked about “being vegetarians” in a(n) _way.A. doubtful B. favorableC. negative D. objective答案：D推理判断题。根据第六段可知Catharine Gale只是客观地讲述研究结果，并没有表示自己的立场。故选D项。28. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. Intelligence is linked to not just being a vegetarian but to many factors.B. The rate of getting heart disease is linked to your lifestyle.C. The link between a high IQ and being a vegetarian is still uncertain. D. The link between a healthy heart and diet remains to be proved.答案：C推理判断题。文章最后一句的意思是：人们成为素食者是因为他们智商高还是因为他们足够聪明而更注意健康问题？由此可见Dr. Frankie Phillips认为素食和高智商的因果关系尚未明确，就像弄不清楚是因为有蛋才有鸡，还是因为有鸡才有蛋一样。故C项正确。C Healthy Habits, Healthy BodyFeeling tired lately? Has a doctor said he cant find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.Then, consider this: you might be in a state of subhealth(亚健康)Subhealth, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease.According to the investigation (调查) by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middleaged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam time.Symptoms (征兆) include a lack of energy, depression (压抑), slow reactions, insomnia (失眠), agitation (焦虑), and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath，sweating and aching in the waist and legs. The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in openair activities.As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and fishes because they are rich in nutritional (营养的) elementsvitamins and trace elements (微量元素)that are important to the body.Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract(消化道). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.本文介绍了什么是亚健康以及怎样预防亚健康。29. According to this passage, which of the following is RIGHT?A. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should stay at home and keep silent.B. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine.C. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should have yourself examined in foreign countries.D.

Middleaged people may be easy to feel subhealthy because_.A. they have used up their energyB. they have lost their living hopesC. they have more pressure in life and workD. they begin to get older答案：C推理判断题。根据第四段的内容及常识可推知，中年人易处于亚健康状态是因为对他们而言来自生活和工作的压力较之其他人群更大。故选C。31. The key to preventing you from falling into a state of subhealth is that you should_.A. work hard B. sleep moreC. form good living habits D. take more medicine答案：C细节理解题。根据第六段“The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth.is to form good living habits.”可知答案为C。32.

I praise and admire each of them, but none could compare to my parents, from whom I learned lessons. The reason why they meant so much to me is that they carried out the lessons with care, kindness and love. I always knew that I was truly loved. They showed me their own footprints in this world and challenged me to pass the achievements they had achieved.They taught me to be compassionate and caring to all I meet in life. One of the hardest lessons I had learned is that life isnt all about me. I need to make the most of the opportunities presented to make a difference to those I meet on lifes pathway. When I stop, take the time to be still, and listen to my heart and spirit, Im aware of my purpose in being here. Its not about my home, but do I care about the homeless? Its not about a beautiful lawn, but do I play ball with the kids and grandkids? Its not about how I take care of my body, but do I care about those in the nursing homes?Be strong. Forgive those who have hurt you. Be brave and live for others. Dont wait for things to get better someday. Do something today. Use your talents to make the footprints in your life.我们常说“父爱恩重如山，母爱情深似海”。作者在回忆自己的一生时，虽然感慨有很多人对自己的发展有影响，但是影响最大的还是自己的父母。父母曾经教诲作者要关爱生活中遇到的每一个人，要有一颗宽容的心，同时还要勇敢地生活。33. According to the passage, the people who have influenced the writer most are his_.A. friends B. neighborsC. teachers D. parents答案：D细节理
