When morning came, my three children and I got up and made our way to the windows facing north. The wind blew hard from the west, and the snow made it
11、 hard for us to see the henhouse .As we looked out the window, we saw that the henhouse was gone. Our three hens had been blown away by the cold wind.I looked at the emptiness outside. Then I saw all three chickens sat around the edge of a white bucket. I couldnt believe my eyes! How was this violen
12、t wind not blowing them into the field beyond? I threw open the back room closet door and pulled on my husband Rogers long snow pants and heavy winter coat.I pulled the hood up, wrapped a scarf around my neck and stuck my feet into Rogers very large boots.I shouted at the wind as it blew. I was alon
13、e, save for my children. They stared out the window into the vast white sea of snow, their eyes peeled for any sign of movement.Outside I heard the sound of my boots as I walked against the wind. This wind was strong.Getting to the white, almost invisible bucket was difficult.As the snow circled aro
14、und me, I steadily made my way to the soft cluck-cluck-cluck sound my hens always made. When I reached them, I saw that their little feet were holding on to the edge of the bucket, heads bent forward and away from the wind.I quickly unzipped Rogers heavy coat, gently lifted each hen and put it caref
15、ully into the warm inside. Then I began the freezing walk back to the small shed directly behind our house.The doors to the shed were difficult to open, but somehow I managed to pull them apart. One by one I laid my chickens on the cold floor, and they began to cluck softly.As I shut the shed doors,
16、 my eyes went directly to the window where my children were watching. They jumped up and down cheering, and so did I!I wasnt some dragon slayer from a fairy tale.

26、g back home to Beijing and having dinner there.Sounds unusual, doesnt it? But its not that unrealistic, with the development of Chinas high-speed railway system. And thats not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway planto connect the country with Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern Eur
27、ope. China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and Singapore.China has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Ur
28、umqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.If Chinas plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days.The new syste
29、m would still follow Chinas high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes.Chinas bullet train (高速客车), the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the worlds fastest average speed. It covers 1, 069 kilometers in about t
30、hree hours.Of course, there are some technical challenges to overcome. There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge (轨距), maintenance of railway tracks. So, its important to pay attention to every detail. But the key issue is really money. China is already spending hu
31、ndreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion.China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment. Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development. Itll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway net
32、work will definitely create more opportunities for business, tourism and soon, not to mention the better communication among those counties. For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop Chinas far west. We
33、 foresee that in the coming decades, millions of people will migrate to the western regions, where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And theyll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European
34、countries.28. Chinas new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because A. China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regionsB. China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various waysC. China will develop its railway system and communication with o
35、ther countriesD. the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation, business and tourism29. According to the passage, the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is A. technical issues B. safety of the systemC. financial problems D. maintenance of railway tracks3
36、0. Which of the following words best describes the authors attitude towards Chinas high-speed railway plan? A. Critical. B. Reserved. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.31. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. New Railway Standards B. Big Railway DreamsC. High-speed Bullet Trains
37、 D. International Railway NetworkDEaster (复活节) is still a great day for worship, candy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies.And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The culprit is climate change, and some researchers f
38、ound that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbits in the US.Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit for example. An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer-it lives on the islands! -but it is already s
39、everely affected by development and now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat (栖息地) completely.The snowshoe hare, on the other hand
40、, has a color issue. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from predators 捕食者). As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more and more bunnies are being left in white
41、 fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators. Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question. The National Wildlife Federa
42、tion has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down.American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the first of these species to go extinct due to climate change. About 7-8 inches long, pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains west of the
43、 Rocky Mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate to higher ground-but they already occupy the mountaintops. They cant go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat heats up.The volcano rab
44、bit has the same problem. These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico, and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters, but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle. Scientists a
45、re concerned about their populations.Native to the US, pygnty rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their habitats have been destroyed by development. Several populations, such as the Columbia Basin pygmy, almost wen
46、t extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs. Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators, but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter.32. The writer mentions Ea
47、ster at the beginning of the passage in order to A. show the importance of Easter DayB. introduce the issue about bunniesC. remind people of Easter traditionsD. discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies33. The word culprit (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to A. criminal B. judge C. vict
48、im D. producer34. The problem faced by volcano rabbits and rock rabbits is that A. both are affected by less snow B. both are affected by rising sea levelsC. neither can find enough food D. neither can migrate to higher places35. Which best describes the writers tone in the passage?A. Approving. B.
49、Concerned. C. Enthusiastic. D. Doubtful.第二节 (共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项.How to Make FriendsFriendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends.
