4、er.“I think Little Free Libraries open the door to conversations we want to have with each other.” Bol said.Since then,his idea has become a movement,spreading from state to state and country to country.According to LittleFreeLibrary.org,there are now 18,000 of the little structures around the world

16、 usually need.At the same time,we also create a great deal of waste and pollution.So we also need to think about how much land we use to deal with that waste.Then two things happen:first,large numbers of the worlds population get much less resources than they need to live;second,the earth is damaged
17、.The amounts of resources we consumed are like footprints.They show whose lifestyles are a burden on the earth and whose lifestyles are not.Because a few people eat up most of the earths resources,the majority have to bear the consequenceslike pollution.This is the ecological footprints that the ear
18、th keeps in its memory.Some years ago,a famous expert,called William Rees,developed this idea of the ecological footprints.Today,this idea has become like a magnifying glass (放大镜).It allows us to see whether we are living lives in a way that keeps the earth in a reasonably good shape.Once the earth
19、goes out of shape,there is no hope for human beings.Countries like the United States and Canada have big ecological footprints.Rees calculated that the average amount of energy and materials consumed by a Canadian is what a land of 4.3 hectares can produce.India has a footprint of 0.4.This means tha
20、t the energy and materials consumed by an Indian is what 0.4 hectares of land can produce.But if we look more carefully,we will find that even within India,the footprints of the city Indian are much larger than the rural Indian.28.Which of the following is the best title for this text?( )A.Footprint

A.put forward the idea of the ecological footprintsB.thought highly of the United States and
23、CanadaC.thought India was an extremely poor countryD.thought rich people made great contributions to society( D )Birds learn how to fly much like a human baby learns to walk:a combination of instinct (本能)and practice.Not all birds are instinctive flyers,however.Flightless birds,such as penguins and
24、ostriches (鸵鸟),no longer have the instinct to imitate their cousins.The newborn of bird species that can fly,such as pigeons and hummingbirds,have a sense that it is a natural act.Compare this to a human baby who instinctively understands that standing upright is a natural goal to achieve.Most birds
25、 cannot fly until their muscle structure has had time to develop.At that time,a nest is their entire world.Baby birds are not responsible for food gathering or protection of their nest,so they develop psychological dependence.Parent birds begin to teach their baby birds the importance of flying by r
26、emaining a short distance away from the nest during feeding.If the young birds are to survive,they must step away from the nest.Frequently,this means a few hard falls to the ground followed by a long trip back to the safety of the nest.All practice,awkward as it may seem,does teach the baby birds ab
27、out the mechanics of flight.Falls to the ground become more controlled as the young bird stretches out its wings,and short jumps back to the nest become longer flight.Parent birds continue to encourage them to leave the nest for longer periods of time.Some species even adopt a tough love policy,leav
28、ing the baby birds alone to develop their own instincts.After a few weeks of practice and imitation,young birds learn more advanced flying techniques:how to use the wind for lift and how to make controlled landings.Eventually,all of these become instinctive and young birds can start families of thei
29、r own.For birds,flying is a demanding exercise.Fortunately,many birds have air sacs (气囊)that act as human lungs,and each breath a bird takes is much more concentrated than humans breath.Birds also have very well-developed pectoral (胸部的)muscles for constant wing movement and a strong heart for endura
30、nce.Most birds are actually swimming through the air,using the weight of the air beneath them to keep themselves in the air.32.What birds and human babies have in common is that they . A.have to learn new things to surviveB.are born with some kind of instinctC.have many goals to achieveD.like to imi
31、tate their cousins as they grow33.Why do parent birds stay a short distance away from the nest during feeding?( )A.To let baby birds know flying is important.B.To make baby birds more independent.C.To develop baby birds muscle structure.D.To make baby birds become brave.34.What does the last paragra
32、ph mainly talk about?( )A.Body structure that helps birds fly.B.The similarity between birds and humans.C.Difficulties birds might meet when they fly.D.The advantages birds have when they fly.35.What would be the best title for the passage?( )A.Practice makes perfectB.How do birds learn how to fly?C
33、.Birds have an instinct for survivalD.Why do some birds adopt a tough love policy?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。Many children like to eat snacks in everyday life,and some of them even have snacks during dinner.To maintain the normal meals and stay healthy,it is

35、servings in bags in the fridge,ready to grab and go. 38.

An 8-ounce mug of hot chocolate has only 140 calories and 3 grams of fat.A chocolate bar,on the othe
