In the northeast of the United States，summer temperatures are very different from winter temperatures.

When he checked the nail, he found it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.What happened? The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years! It has been in a dark wall partition(夹层) for 10 years without moving! Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single stepsince its foot was nailed! So he stopped his work and observed the lizard: What has it been doing? What and how has it been eating? Later, he didnt know from where another lizard appeared, with food in its mouth. Ah!

After all, you probably sing 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（雄性）, claims (声称) as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same animals are welcome. Your house is 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 frightened 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 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.12. Some scientists believe that most of the time birds singing is actually _.A. an expression of happiness B. a way of angerC. an expression of warning D. a way of greeting13. What is a birds “territory”?A. A place where families of other animals are accepted.B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.C. An area for which birds fight against each other.D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.14. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?A. Because they want to invite more friends.B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.C. Because they want to find outsiders around.D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.15. What does the underlined word “screaming” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. 尖叫声 B. 令人惊愕的 C. 哭喊声 D. 令人害怕的第二节：根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。（每小题2分，共10分）Everyone has heard of Groundhog Day (土拨鼠日).16. _.People in America think that the groundhog awakens from its winters sleep on February 2nd. The groundhog comes out of its hole. If the sun is shining, it will see its shadow. The shadow （影子）scares（吓唬）it. So it runs back into its hole. This means six more weeks of winter. If the day is cloudy, it will not see its shadow. Since it is not scared, it stays out of its hole. 17. _. These are the same things we say on Groundhog Day today.18. _.
