Does the bird really want to eat a cracker? The answer is yes. and no. Polly probably will eat a cracker, but what she really wants is some attention. Certain(某）kinds of birds are excellent talkers. They like to copy the sounds they hear around them. They also like the attention that people give them when they talk. Many wild birds have the ability to mimic or copy sounds. Crows(乌鸦)，jays（松鸦）, and starlings(八哥)all can do it. But these birds seldom make good pets because they need lots of room, and they are not often comfortable around people. Some pet birds, such as parrots, can be great talkers. Among the large parrots, the best talkers are African greys and Amazons. One should remember that just because a certain kind of bird can talk does not mean it will talk. Each bird has a different, personality. Some birds never learn to talk. Some may learn only a few words or sounds. Others seem to learn a large vocabulary easily. Although each bird is different, younger birds are more likely to learn to talk than older birds. Also, male birds are usually better talkers than females. However, if you teach a bird to whistle(吹口哨)before it learns to talk, it may never learn to talk. This might be because whistling is easier for the bird.44. According to the passage, a bird is more likely to learn a word if_A. it listens to another bird B. it learns how to whistle firstC. it hears the word many times D. it knows what the word means45. In this passage the underlined word mimic means _ in Chinese. A模仿 B戏弄C照样子画 D呈现的形象46. How many kinds of birds are talking birds in this passage? A.3 B.4 C5 D.647. According to the passage, which of these birds will most likely learn to talk?A. An old male bird B.A young male bird.C. An old female bird. D. A young female bird.CWhy do people smoke? One reason is that people become addicted(成瘾) to cigarettes. The addictive substance(物质）in cigarettes is nicotine(尼古丁). When people smoke, the nicotine goes right into the blood stream and makes people feel comfortable. A smokers body gets used to the nicotine, and if he stops smoking, he feels nervous. Many smokers try to stop smoking but because of the addiction to nicotine they feel so uncomfortable that they often find it too difficult to do so . Another reason is that people simply enjoy smoking. Having a cigarette for many people means taking a break. For some people smoking becomes part of certain social rituals (礼仪), for example, sending the cigarette after dinner. Many people enjoy smoking because it gives them something to do with their hands. Reaching for a cigarette, lighting it and flicking (弹掉) the ashes are special comfort in a situation where they feel nervous. Many people also like the taste of tar (焦油) in cigarettes. However, it is the tar that causes cancer. While governments and health experts have tried to get people to give up smoking completely, cigarette manufacturers (生产商) have tried to keep selling them by producing cigarettes with less tar. Many people in western countries have welcomed these cigarettes since they found it hard to stop smoking and wanted to reduce the danger to their health. 48. According to the passage, what gets people into the habit of smoking?A. The cigarette. B. Nicotine. C. Tar. D. Blood.49. What do the underlined words to do so mean? A. They mean to stop smoking. B. They means to make people feel comfortable. C. They mean to get used to the nicotine. D. They meansto become addicted to cigarettes.50. Why do people welcome low-tar cigarettes?A. Because they taste better. B. Because they are cheaper. C. Because they are less harmful. D. Because they are easy to be made.51. Which of the following sentences is TRUE, according to the passage? A. Smokers continue smoking because smoking is very interesting. B. Tar in cigarettes causes cancer. C. In order to look cool, many people enjoy smoking. D. Many people in western countries welcome the cigarettes with more tar.52. Whats the main idea of the article?A. How can people quit smoke?B. Smoking costs people a lot of money. C. Nicotine causes people to smoke.D. The reason why people smoke.第卷（四大题，共36分）五、任务型阅读（6分）In many western schools，sports day is a big eventChildren take part in competitive(竞争性的)sports, trying to break school records and take the first place.
