24、   You may see some herons (鹭) in the park using bread or insects as a tool to catch fish. This is just one of the ways in which birds have changed their living habits because of humans. Now, a new study has found that birds that are able to change their behaviors in this way are less likely to die out. These changes may include adding new food to their diet, developing new hunting skills, or living in a new environment. These new behaviors have long been considered advantages in avoiding extinction（灭绝).

To test this on a world level, scientists studied reports of new behaviors among bird species. The study includes more than 3,800 new behaviors among8,600 species of birds. They concluded that the more new hunting skills the birds master, the larger population they will have. In other words, extinction risk reduces as the number of new skills increases.

However, it is stressed that innovation (革新) can only protect birds from changes in their living place, but not from over-hunting or harm from other species. It should be noticed that some animals are very dangerous to some birds: snakes can attack little birds, some hungry mice stole birds' eggs. Above all, humans often mean the greatest danger to birds. They always take up too much space, cut down millions of trees and even cause various kinds of pollution.

This shows that, unlike what is usually believed, the ability to innovate protects animals from some but not all of the rapid changes in the environment.

【1】Why do birds change their living habits?

A.Because they like their new habits. B.Because they want to use tools.

C.Because humans ask them to do that D.Because human activities affect them.

【2】According to the passage, birds that ____________ may not die out soon.

A.feed on fewer kinds of food B.have a little food every day

C.get enough food in some new ways D.dislike to live in a noisy place

【3】Which of the following shows the result of the study in Paragraph 2?

A. B.

C. D.

【4】Which paragraph shows the harm from other species to birds?

A.Paragraph 1. B.Paragraph 2. C.Paragraph 3. D.Paragraph 4.

【5】What's the main idea of the passage?

A.Humans often help birds to change themselves.

B.Innovation in hunting skills has an effect on birds' living.

C.The ability of innovation can protect birds from all danger.

D.Birds can change their hunting skills in the new environment.

27、   Nowadays, it has grown into a habit for many people to put every thought online when anything unhappy happens. However, it is important for people not to express every little thought that comes in their heads. Here are some interesting explanations.

The problem with expressing our every thought and feeling is that they can often change quickly. I may be angry with someone at this time, but that feeling will be gone the next day. For example, when I finally drove home last night, I happened to find my neighbor had taken my parking place by mistake. I was quite mad then, so I let everyone know it by posting it on WeChat. But today, that feeling is completely gone. I am not angry at all.

Too many things take place in one day, so not every problem needs to be paid much attention to. What will happen if we still keep spreading terrible feelings online, even if the problem is not that important? Actually, it’s all right to let go of some problems.

Moreover, communicating with words doesn’t always work. For example, I have three children. Trying to correct their habits by speaking to them directly is almost useless. Instead, my husband and I try to lead by examples. Sometimes they learn from it, and sometimes they don’t. But in many situations, setting a good example works much better than simply talking.

What can people do if they have disagreement when getting along with others? There are always two choices: they can either argue, or they can just walk away. Arguing is often a waste of time while walking away protects you from saying something that you may regret later. Our goal is to use every one of our words to cheer others up. So always think carefully before speaking. This way, the world will be a more peaceful place.

【1】It’s important not to spread every thought online because   .

A.it changes fast B.every thought is very meaningful

C.speaking is more useful D.we are not free to say what we like

【2】The writer uses her experience with her children to show that   .

A.it takes time to communicate with others

B.correcting children’s habit by speaking is always useless

C.words don’t work in communication with children at all

D.setting good examples is the best way to teach children

【3】From the last paragraph, we can infer that   .

A.we should argue with people who disagree with us

B.the writer wants us to pay attention to our words

C.people can argue or walk away when they have disagreement

D.we are free to express ourselves and never regret

【4】If we put the passage into 3 parts, which of the following is the best?

(①= Para. (自然段)1; ②= Para. 2; ③= Para. 3; ④= Para. 4; ⑤= Para. 5)

A.①; ②; ③④⑤ B.①; ②③④; ⑤ C.①; ②③;  ④⑤ D.①②;  ③④; ⑤

28、阅读下面短文，根据语境、音标或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的单词，要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。

Zhang Dingyu, the 【1】(direct) of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, leads over 600 doctors and nurses fighting against the Novel coronavirus pneumonia(新型冠状病毒肺炎）, which has caused hundreds of deaths in central China’s Hubei Province.

As Zhang led over 600 doctors and nurses fighting the disease, his 【2】/streɪndʒ/ way of walking shocked his colleagues. He finally admitted that he had 【3】ill with ALS (渐冻症) since October 2018 after constant researches. ALS is a disease that gradually blocks the connection between brain and body.
