15、whole industry surrounding the challenge that is this mountain. While we consider climbing the mountain as an athletic achievement, there is one animal, the bar-headed goose, does not think so.As the species migrates (迁徙)from Central Asia to Southeast Asia every autumn, it must cross over the Himala
16、yan range. These mountains force the bar-headed goose to fly at around 30,000 feet above sea level, which is the highest altitude for migratory birds.These geese have special adaptions that allow them to survive at the altitude. For example, a special protein (蛋白质） in blood cells that transports oxy
17、gen throughout the body allows their blood cells to combine with oxygen. Their circulatory system provides a constant supply of fresh, oxygenated blood to their wing muscles (肌肉）. They have much larger lungs than other birds, which give them the ability to take in more air.Scientists initially belie
18、ve that the geese flow at an extremely high altitude for the full length of their migration. But later the data suggests that the birds use a much more effective way of travel. Instead of remaining at an extremely high altitude to fly over the mountain range, the geese hug the mountains, flying up a
19、nd down depending on the obstacles (障碍物)in their way. This works better for them because they dont have to use all their energy flying in an area with low oxygen; they can spend time flying at lower altitudes.The geese also make use of nature to make this work easier. To fly down, they simply allow
20、gravity to pull them. To fly back up, they make use of orographic (地形的）lift, which happens when flowing air meets an obstacle, such as a mountain. The mountain forces the air up, creating an upward draft. The birds take advantage of this draft, expending less of their own energy to fly up the mounta
21、in.The way these birds have adapted to flying across the Asian continent during their annual migration is certainly an amazing way to see nature at work.13. What does the underlined part “this work” in Paragraph 5 most probably refer to?A. To fly down. B. To fly back up.C. To fly over the mountain.
22、D. To fly at lower altitudes.14. How do the geese behave while crossing over the Himalayan range?A. By flowing at an extremely high altitude all the way.B. By taking advantage of the orographic lift.C. By smoothing the obstacles in their way.D. By forcing the air up, creating an upward draft.15. Wha
23、ts the main idea of this passage?A. The geeses amazing migration.B. The highest flying record of geese.C. The flying mystery of geese.D. Mount Qomolangma and its geese.【答案】13. C 14. B 15. A【解析】这是一篇说明文，叙述的是鸟类利用大自然的力量所进行的令人惊讶的迁移。 13. C词义猜测题。根据倒数第三段倒数第二句 Instead of remaining at an extremely high altitu
24、de to fly over the mountain range, the geese hug the mountains, flying up and down depending on the obstacles (障碍物)in their way. 代替停留在极高的高度飞越高山，鹅拥抱群山，他们依赖于飞行过程中的障碍物上下飞行。再根据倒数第二段第一句 The geese also make use of nature to make this work easier. 鹅也利用自然使这项工作更容易。可知倒数第二段第一句中的划线部分意思应该是“飞过大山”。故选 C。15. A主旨大意题。
25、根据文章最后一段 The way these birds have adapted to flying across the Asian continent during their annual migration is certainly an amazing way to see nature at work. 这些鸟在他们的年度迁移时适应了飞越亚洲大陆的方式，这当然是一种看到大自然在工作的惊人方式。可知本文叙述的是鸟类令人惊讶的迁移，故选 A。第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入
