24、teresting features”,故选such as。6解析:选B 根据该段的整体语境可知此处指鸽子的“主人(owners)”。7解析:选B 根据后半句中的“the best looking pigeons are chosen to win prizes”可知,鸽子的主人将鸽子送去参加“比赛(competitions)”。8解析:选A 根据该段接下来的“Pigeons can fly a long way”和“pigeons can usually fly back”等可知,鸽子还有其他多项“技能(skills)”。9解析:选B 鸽子可以飞行很长距离而不会感到“疲惫(tired)”。1
