29、It is a starry April night in the southern Appalachian Mountains. A beautiful bird is flying to the Adirondacks. It is Passerina cyanca, or the indigo bunting (靛蓝彩鹀). The bird is on a 1,200-mile spring migration (迁徙). Without fail, in total darkness, it maintains a steady northward bearing(an exact direction).
A remarkable study conducted in 1967 by Cornell University scientist Stephen Emlen found indigo buntings could orient (确定方向) themselves based on projected star patterns. Emlen caught birds ready for their fall migration — a behavioral state known as migration anxiety — and placed them into special enclosed spaces under the artificial sky of a planetarium(a building whose ceiling shows the movements of stars). Then, Emlen recorded the direction of their hops just before takeoff. Almost without exception, the birds oriented themselves southward, in the direction of their autumnal migration toward Central America.
Humans have long used the North Star, or Polaris, to determine fundamental directions. Emlen guessed the birds were doing something similar, reading the sweep of the stars around Polaris to maintain a bearing. (Stars close to Polaris travel in smaller circles relative to stars that are farther away.)
Emlen began systematically wiping away concentric (同轴的) rings of stars around Polaris. For a while, the buntings were able to perform their little dance — face south, hop, fly — despite the erased (被清除的) stars. But once the erasure of star patterns reached a critical point, within 35 degrees of Polaris, the buntings, once a well-practiced dance group, lost their ability to dance. They hopped in a disorganized way, unable to determine their takeoff direction.
Some species of seals can also use stars to find their way across vast oceans. These and other stargazing specialists, unfortunately, have been forced to live upon a planet completely changed by artificial light in the night environment. Such pollution — a major side-effect of urbanization — is particularly destructive to many wild species. Like Emlen, we have erased stars across the sky, throwing animal behavior and migration patterns across the globe into chaos.
【1】How did Emlen carry out the study in 1967?
A．By following the routes of the buntings’ migration.
B．By watching the buntings under an artificial starry sky.
C．By analyzing the buntings’ takeoff direction in the wild.
D．By comparing the buntings’ spring and autumnal migration.
【2】What happened to the buntings after the erasure of star patterns reached a critical point?
A．They faced south and flew.
B．They hopped toward Polaris.
C．They danced in a beautiful way.
D．They lost their sense of direction.
【3】What problem does the author mainly discuss in the last paragraph?
A．Light pollution’s harm to wildlife.
B．The overdevelopment of urbanization.
C．The waste of energy caused by artificial light.
D．Challenges faced by today’s stargazing scientists.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．Little indigo buntings migrate for 1,200 miles
B．Indigo buntings migrate guided by stars
C．Birds ready for migration show migration anxiety
D．Animals have different ways to orient themselves
30、I recall as a young child bringing bunches of brilliant yellow flowers to my mother. It didn’t matter that the stems（茎）felt sticky or that both my parents cursed the _______of these flowers in the lawn. I thought they were beautiful!
And there were so many of them! We spent hours picking the flowers and then breaking the blossoms off with a snap of our fingers. But the supply of dandelions (蒲公英) never ran out. My father or brothers would _______all the heads with the lawn mower (割草机) at least once a week, but that didn’t _______ these amazing wonders.
And for those flowers that _______the honor of being hand-delivered to my mother or the sharp blades of the lawn mower, there was another level of_______. The soft, round balls of a dandelion gone to_______ caused endless laughs and voices of delight as we unconsciously spread this flower_______ the yard.
As I worked in my garden last week, pulling unwanted weeds out of the space that would become a safe place for tomatoes, corn, peas and sunflowers, I was again _______ at the flower that some call a weed with admiration. And I thought, “If only I had the staying _______ of a dandelion.”
If only I could stretch my roots so deep and straight that something dragging my stem couldn’t__________ me completely from the source that feeds me life. If only I could come back to________ the world with a bright, sunshiny face after someone has run me over with a lawnmower or worse, ________ attacked me in an attempt to destroy me. If only my foliage (叶子) was a nutritious ________ of vitamins that help others grow. If only I could spread love and encouragement freely and fully ________ this flower spreads seeds of itself.
The lawns at my parents’ homes are now beautiful green blankets. The only patches of color come from well- placed, well-controlled flowerbeds. Chemicals have managed to kill what human persistence couldn’t.
I hope you and I can be ________. I hope that we can make our roots get deep enough that the most poisonous chemical can’t reach our souls. I hope that we can overcome such poisons as anger, fear, hate, criticism and competitiveness. I hope that we can see flowers in a world that sees weeds.

31、根据课文原文填写正确单词，一空一词。
I knew I had chosen a job with a lot of stress but I love what I do. The thing about being a teacher is that you have 【1】 to children’s minds when they are open and eager to learn. If what I do as a teacher can help 【2】a child like Graham into such a successful adult, then I know what I’m doing is 【3】. As John Dewey, the famous educationalist, said, “Education is not 【4】 for life; education is life itself.”
Most people believe when they are living 【5】 and earning enough money, they will have no worries. However, most people never feel they have earned enough.

Are there any things he misses from his past? “No, I’m much happier now, because I am living according to my 【7】.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
This time, Mat and I set our climbing destination as Mount Baker in Washington. According to the weather forecast (预报), it was to be clear skies that day. We left the foot of the mountain at 6 p.m., aiming to reach the top at sunrise. As we traveled for four hours, the weather turned to a mix of rolling ice and rain. Shouting over the wind, we discussed turning around. But I thought back to the forecast I had checked just before leaving and believed the weather would clear up at any minute.
It didn’t. We pushed our own way through the deepening snow. At some points, the snow was up to our upper legs. We were further behind schedule with each step.
“I’ve made it to the top,” I shouted loudly to Mat over my radio. He was only 7 meters away on the other end of the rope but unable to see or hear me through the heavy snow. He joined me at the top for 20 seconds — the temperature was well below zero — before we began the 4,000-foot journey downhill.
We then reached the edge of the mountain after 5 hours (it takes about an hour and a half in good weather), unroped, and removed some of our climbing equipment, happy to be on the mountain without much difficulty ahead. And in that moment of relief, I slipped (滑倒).
Standing on a seemingly good block of snow, I started to slide. I did a textbook self-stop with my ice ax (冰镐), but the snow had started to melt (融化), and I couldn’t get any hold on anything. I slid for about 15 meters, all the while thinking I’d soon come to a stop. A few seconds later I hit a rock and got thrown into the air. A huge crack on the ground came into view below me. Then, in an instant, I felt like I was being pushed with great force onto its rock bottom 9 meters down.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
At least I stopped, I thought.

After 30 minutes Mat arrived on a nearby rock and found me.
