It started when it was so cold and snowyI just put the whole container of mealworms right outside the door. But I normally just offer them a few worms in a small tea bag holder. It works out nicely to have my seed feeders in the front yard. That way, I can feed mealworms in the backyard without the other birds taking notice. Arent they cute? Imagine my surprise when I looked out to see Mr. & Ms. Bluebird and instead I see a CAT! We dont have a cat! But there it was laying right next to the bluebird feeder! Someone must have decided they didnt want a cat anymore and dropped it off on our country road. How sad is that?Now Im worried. Im wondering if the cat already had a bluebird breakfast when my little friends came for their handouts(救济品)? I quickly made my way to the nest box . As I got close, I saw Ms. Bluebird peeking（偷看） out the hole. Oh, happy day! Was I glad to see her.So now I had to get creative since I couldnt offer the mealworms in the usual way and place. I have a teacup feeder that I made a few years ago that mounts on a copper pipe. I filled it with mealworms and called, Here bluebird, whoop, whoop! He posed for a nice spring picture and I got a chance to try out my new camera.And a happy ending to a nerve racking（拷问） few days. My best friend gave the cat a new home and there are now FOUR eggs in the nest box. Im still hoping for egg number five!36. From the first paragraph we know the bluebirds started to come to my house for breakfast when it was_.A. spring B. winter C. autumn D. summer37. The reason why the author felt surprised was that_.A. he saw a cat instead of Mr. & Mrs. BluebirdB. he thought the Bluebirds could be fed safely in the backyard without the other birds taking notice.C. the bluebirds were not cute at all.D. their lost cat came back again38. “Im wondering if the cat already had a bluebird breakfast” means_.A. I want to know if the cat had already been here for longB. Im wondering if the cat and bluebirds have been good friendsC. Im wondering if the bluebird had died of hungerD. I doubt whether the cat had already had the bluebird for breakfast.39. From the passage we can infer that_.A. the author didnt like the catB. the bluebirds are cleverer than the catC. the author liked the bluebirds very muchD. the cat and bluebirds became best friends.BIn peoples minds, Beijing women are taller, bold, and uninhibited, while Shanghai women are smaller in figure ,and always speak in a soft voice. The image（形象）of Beijing women is usually bigger than Shanghai womens .However ,it turns out to be just the other way round after I have worked in Beijing for some time.Everybody goes Dutch in Shanghai; even at a grand party , but in Beijing its usually the mens treat .It is impossible to invite a female friend who already has a boyfriend or a young married woman out ,even if you promise to see her home that night.The conditions of the men in Beijing are no better at all. All their cells will ring one after another at 12 oclock sharp at night. The voice on the other end is usually loud enough for anyone nearby to hear. “Where have you been! Do you remember that youve got a home? Now whos with you?” and these three sentences are usually the main parts of the call.Shanghai women could never understand this .If its a Shanghai woman who shouts in the phone, the Shanghai man on the other end must think that she is crazy (or drunk ,perhaps). The Shanghainese go Dutch in life, and they appreciate the independence in both economic and love affairs.Many of my friend girls in Shanghai are office ladies with very high income. The tiredness of life cannot kill their pride in saying: “I dont depend on any men.” Thus no men can command them ,for example ,to force them to come back home before 10 pm. Beijingers do not admire the Shanghai way of life , anyhow .How can a couple be addressed as “a couple” when they dont know where the other has been last night? They wondered.40The underlined word “uninhibited” in Paragraph One probably means .Arelaxed enough to do as they likeBvery cautious about their behaviorCalways doing what they are told toDnot having courage or confidence41By mentioning men paying bills for women in Beijing ,the writer wants to show that .ABeijing women are respectedBBeijing women lack independenceCBeijing men are generousDBeijing men possess gentle manners42The conditions of Beijing men are no better because they .Aoften stay out late at nightBhave women call them at midnightCare treated the same as Shanghai menDenjoy no more freedom than the women43Shanghai women could never understand why .ABeijing women behave like thatBBeijing men behave like thatCShanghai men think so differentlyDShanghai women dont copy Beijing women44In a Beijingers mind, its normal for a couple to .Ago Dutch in lifeBknow each others whereaboutsCreturn home before 10 pmDsuspect each others behavior45The title of the article may be .ALifestyle difference between Shanghai and BeijingBPhysically strong may mean spiritually weakCBig Shanghai women and little Beijing womenDCan a couple go Dutch in life?CChinas aviation industry must ensure the safety of its information system after a computer failure caused a series of check-in service breakdowns in major airports, an expert has warned. The failure occurred at 1:32 p.m. on Tuesday at the host computer of the airports unified departure control system and led to check-in collapses in major airports in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. A unified information system was cheaper and more convenient for the airline industry, but over-centralized information management was also risky, said Xu Guangjian, vice dean of the School of Public Administration at the Renmin University. The more automated the information system is, the riskier it will be, said Xu. The breakdown forced the Beijing Capital International Airport to postpone 33 flights, delaying passengers for less than an hour. Flights were also put back in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The airports enacted contingency（偶发事件） plans, manually checking in passengers or using back-up（候补的）systems before the system resumed at 2:16 p.m. The key information system in managing boarding procedures, the departure control system is run by TravelSky Technology Limited (TravelSky), the only provider of information technology for almost all the airlines and more than 130 airports in China since 1988. A similar incident resulted in the breakdown of the departure control system in January, affecting airports in cities like Chengdu, Shanghai and Beijing.Xu urged the aviation industry to set up a guarantee system to deal with computer failures rapidly and prevent other risks from hackers and computer viruses.He said TravelSky should provide back-up systems and develop contingency plans, as its system security concerned the operation of all domestic airports and airlines.An exception was Spring Airlines, Chinas first low-cost private carrier, which launched its own reservation system last July and departure control system last October.It was supported by the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China, with director Yang Yuanyuan expressing the hope that Spring Airlines would break TravelSkys monopoly, said Wang Zhenghua, chairman of Spring Airlines.However, the Shanghai-based China Business News reported that most airports were unwilling to accept the new systems for fear of affecting their long-term cooperation with the TravelSky An source with TravelSky said the company would draw lessons from the breakdown and improve its back-up system.Serving more than 500,000 passengers a day, the TravelSky system ranks among the worlds five largest passenger reservation and departure information systems in terms of scale.46. Which of the following statements is true?A. On Tuesday the host computer of the airports unified departure control system had a breakdown.B. The computer failure led to check-in collapse in all the airports in China.C. The more automated the information system is, the better it will be. D. The computer failure led to check-in collapse in the airports in Beijing.47. The underlined word “resumed” probably means _.A. renewed B. damaged C. worked D. repaired48. How long did the computer failure last?A. Over an hour B. Less than half an hour C. More than two hours D. More than forty minutes 49. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. The Importance of TravelSky B. The Largest Passenger Reservation and Departure Information System Breakdown C. Check-in Breakdown in Major Airports Points to System Risk D. Spring Airlinesa Good Exception50. Why back-up systems should be provided ?A. Its system security concerned the operation of all the airports and airlines.B.
