阅读理解二轮训练（3）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。Experts believe that storms and severe weather in North America and Asia have disrupted bird flight paths across the world and swept huge numbers of bird species towards the British Isles.Birds flying to the other side of the Atlantic or to the Pacific to lay their eggs have been trapped in Britain and Ireland, adding their numbers to native species, and causing great excitement in the bird-watching community.Local birdwatchers have already observed a total of 442 species in the British Isles this year. The highest number ever seen in one year is 445, in 2020.“We only need four more to break our record,” said Lee Evans, who runs the British Birding Association. “With three months to go Im sure well do it.”Last month an extremely rare Siberian Rubythroat bird was seen in Scotland, sending hundreds of birdwatchers north in the hope of catching a glimpse of this colourful Asian beauty. Another very uncommon bird, the bufflehead duck was cited in Cornwell and caused similar excitement. “I couldnt believe it,” said Evans. “The poor thing was completely knackered. It must have been blown to England by the storms while trying to fly from Canada to the southern United States for the winter. Thats 3000 miles!”Evans said that global warming over the past decade was playing a key role in transforming bird movements across the world. In addition, melting Arctic sea ice may also be opening up bird flight paths over the North Pole, making it easier for birds from the Pacific such as the slaty-backed gull and tufted puffin, both of which appeared in London earlier this year to reach Britain.Bird-watching is becoming an increasingly popular hobby among all age groups, added Evans. “A fifth of our members are under 18. This is a round-the-year hobby that you can enjoy from the kitchen window or from a car. More and more people are bird-watching, and as a result more and more unexpected species are being spotted in the British Isles.”1. What is the passage mainly about?A. The results of global warming.B. Changes in the British bird population.C. Increasing environmental pollution.D. Worsening British weather.2. The underlined word “knackered” is closest in meaning to _.A. bored B. knocked C. spotted D. tired3. How many more bird species are needed to equal the British bird-watching record?A. 3.B. 4.C. 442.

Governmental officials should also be encouraged to use public transportation or ride bicycles, he said, adding that he himself is a bicycle-rider in London.Matthew Martimo, director of Traffic Engineering with Citilabs, said the bicycle was Chinas advantage. Limiting private cars is an idea worth trying but it is just a temporary solution, he said. The real cause of congestion is high density of people in Beijing and many have cars.Beijing, with a population of 15 million, is home to more than three million automobiles, and the number is rising by 1,000 a day.Professor Wilson said the Olympic Games was a great opportunity for Beijing to think about traffic problems and develop transportation, adding that the city had already been making public transport more efficient. Beijing has promised to stretch its 114-kilometer city railway to 200 kilometers before the opening of the Olympic Games.“We are looking forward to borrowing Beijings experiences and drawing from its lessons in preparation for the 2020 Olympics,” said Wetzel.16. The underlined word incentives in paragraph 4 means_.A. something that encourages people to tryB. online shoppingC. points could be exchanged for goodsD. award17. It can be seen from the passage that _.A. the government planned to forbid over 1 million cars to run on the roads during the Olympics.B. banning private cars is the best way to solve traffic congestion in BeijingC. Beijing now has 200 kilometers of city railwayD. the use of company cars will not be limited18. Why did Wetzel stress “ he himself is a bicycle-rider in London”?A. To limit the use of company cars.B. To encourage governmental officials to use public transportation or ride bicycles.C. To show that riding bicycles is good for health.D. To show that he loves riding bicycles.19.

The large population in Beijing and the large number of cars.D. Public transport in Beijing is not efficient.20.

Before this time health care had to be paid for by individuals.Nowadays central government is directly responsible for the NHS although it is administered by local health authorities. About 83 percent of the cost of the health service is paid for by general taxation and the rest is met from the National Insurance contributions paid by those in work. There are charges for prescription and dental care but many people, such as children, pregnant women, pensioners, and those on Income Support, are exempt from payment.Most people are registered with a local doctor (a GP, or General Practitioner) who is increasingly likely to be part of a health centre which serves the community.As the population of Britain gets older, the hospital service now treats more patients than before, although patients spend less time in hospital. NHS hospitals many of which were built in the nineteenth century provide nearly half a million beds and have over 480, 000 medical staff. The NHS is the biggest employer in Europe although Britain actually spends less per person on health care than most of her European neighbours.During the 1980s there was considerable restructuring of the Health Service with an increased emphasis on managerial efficiency and the privatization of some services (for example, cleaning). At the end of the 1980s the government introduced proposals for further reform of the NHS, including allowing some hospitals to be self-governing, and encouraging GPs to compete for patients. Patients would be able to choose and change their family doctor more easily and GPs would have more financial responsibility. The political questions continue of how much money should be provided to support the NHS and where it should come from.1 We can know from the first paragraph that _.A. the original aim of the NHS was to provide equal basic health care for everybodyB. people didnt have to pay for health care since the NHS was set upC. patients were charged for receiving health care before 1948D. the NHS was an organization which gave free advice to villag
