Why don’t birds get lost on their long migratory (迁居的) flights? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now they’re beginning to fill in the blanks.

Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly mainly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.

One such bird, a warbler(鸣禽) , had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the direction of the make-be-live stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.

Scientists think that warblers, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently their main means of navigation (导航). What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see these, the warblers circle helplessly, unable to get their direction.

36. The reasons why birds don’t get lost on migratory flights .

A. have been known to scientists for many years

B. are known by everyone

C. have only recently been discovered

D. will probably remain a mystery

37. The bird mentioned in this article .

A. was caught and put in a cage by scientists

B. was tamed（驯服） and tested by scientists

C. had never flown under a natural sky

D. was a bird that can speak

38. Warblers migrate .

A. from North America to South America

B. using what is apparently an inborn navigational ability

C. only once during their lifetime

D. when they are freed from their cages

39. When the stars are hidden by clouds, warblers find their way by .

A. an artificial star B. some landmarks

C. their inborn ability D. A and B

40. This article is a good example of the way scientists A. discover workable answers to universal questions by studying particular cases(特别案例)

B. jump to conclusions

C. find a law and then investigate（调查）

D. are disappointed by the habits of animals

B

In an age when technology moves faster than most can keep up with, a small group of people still remain in the time of old-fashioned letter. Frankly speaking, I was once certain that traditional letters could never be replaced by other means of communication.

But a story about online communication changed my mind.

An old man, who suffered a lot from Parkinson’s disease, was not able to talk clearly and could hardly write his name. Living totally alone, he managed to keep in touch with nearly all the members of his family. How did he achieve this? He clicked out words on his computer keyboard.

I, therefore, managed to get an E-mail box as soon as the chance came. My life changed. E-mail, and all online communication, is something truly different. It has abilities that few other products can match.

E-mail is convenient. It takes less time with its fast speed and 24-hour connection. The slow postal service is no match. If you wouldn’t want to have a face-to-face talk with your manager, you might talk with him through E-mail even if you are in the same office.

Naming all the good things about online communication is not easy. But wait. E-mail can be inconvenient. It can waste time and energy. Just think what may happen when you take a short vacation and return to find your e-mail box filled with 200 unread messages. You could easily spend Then, online communication will keep us staying at our computer while it connects us to distant strangers. Once we throw ourselves into the machine, we may forget the human touches we once held so dear. I’m sure there is and always will be a place for the old-fashioned letter, phone

call, and face-to-face meeting… even in the world of modern communication.

As I listen to the sound of the modem(调制解调器), I was excited at stepping out to the outside world but, at the same time, I sensed a loss of control over something valuable in my personal life.

41. What is the most probable meaning of the underlined word “junk” in paragraph7?

A. New and useful B. old and useless

C. Short but valuable D. Long but clear

42. What caused the writer to become interested in E-mail and online communication?

A. His own illness. B. The sound of the modem.

C. A sick old man’s experience. D. The changing of his life.

43. What does the writer think of online communication?

A. It should replace old-fashioned letters completely.

B. It is perfect and always does good to you.

C. It is extremely useful and convenient, but it may be inconvenient or even harmful.

D. It does more harm than good.

44. According to the writer, traditional means of communication will never disappear because ________.

A. they help to keep the friendly relationship between people

B. they are convenient and popular though they are slow

C. most people cannot keep up with the development of technology

D. modern means of communication does too much harm

45. How did the sick old man keep in touch with his family members?

A. By visiting them regularly.

B. By writing letters with his pen.

C. By making telephone calls.

D. With the help of his computer.

Recently, a scientist did some experiments．He left a group of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a candy．If they rang the bell, he would come back and they could eat the candy．If, however, they didn't ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two candies.

In videos of the experiment, he can see the children kicking, hiding their eyes--trying to exercise self-control so they can wait and get two candies．The results are different．Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute．Others lasted 15 minutes.

The children who waited longer went on to get higher SAT scores．They got into better colleges and had better adult success．The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to have received

worse teacher and parental evaluations （评价） 10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.

The experiments are worth noting because people spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve education, how to become rich．But when the result is not good, they will come back to ask "how do we get people to get the sort of self-control that leads to success?" This is to enter the world of human nature.

So these experiments along with everyday experience, tell us that self-control is most important．Young people who can sit through sometimes boring classes to get a degree can work hard in order to learn a language well．They can avoid drugs and alcohol．For people without self-control skills, however, school is a series of failed ordeals（煎熬）．No wonder they drop out and their later life is a group of foolish ideas, such as drug use, stealing and so on.

46．The scientist did some experiments to .

A．test children's self control and later success B．test children's intelligence of ringing the bell C．find good ways of training children to learn D．prove that children's education is important

47．We can learn from the experiment that A．all children tried to ring the bell for more candies

B．some children didn't get any candy in the end

C．the children have different self- control

D．the last one to ring the bell is most successful

48．How long did the scientist's experiments last according to the text?

A．Just 15 minutes． B．Within 10 years.

C．Less than 14 years． D．More than 28 years.

49．What will those without self- control do at school according the text?

A．Improving their education

B．Suffering a lot from boring lessons

C．Working hard to catch up with others

D．Becoming very rich and successful

50．What is the best title for this passage?

A．Ways of self-control training

B．Experiments on children's ringing the bell

C．Higher score, better achievements

D．Self-control is the key to success

One possible version:

Many students like listening to music while they are studying, but many parents insist that listening to music while studying may have a negative effect. An American scientist recently carried out an experiment in which he proved that parents' idea was right. First, students tend to follow the rhythm of the music and sing one or two lines of lyrics, which will distract them from their study. Second, students' states are always calm when they are studying, but when they listen to music, especially rock music, they will become excited, which affects their study. Therefore, I don't think listening to music while studying is a good idea.
