Thousands of hungry birds left the countryside of Britain in the bitter winter to find food and warmth in urban gardens. The move included species such as the redwing and the fieldfare, almost unknown outside rural areas

The hard situation of farmland birds has been revealed in the latest survey of bird populations from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds released today.

The redwing has an obvious stripe over the eye and a red flash on the flanks (侧翼), while the fieldfare has a grey head, a peach under?belly, and a distinctive dark band on the tail.

Graham Madge, the society's spokesman, says, “For many urban birdwatchers the sight of these striking species is a real treat. Many people have never imagined there being such an amazing chance.”

“Frozen ground prevented them from getting food in the countryside and they have been saved from starvation in towns，” he added.

He says the unusual sight this year somewhat tempered the frustration felt at the suffering of small garden birds such as robins and wrens. These birds are sensitive to cold and must eat almost continuously to stay alive. Data from people who took part in the society's Big Garden Birdwatch recorded sightings in 280，000 gardens during the last weekend of January, with the goldcrest down 75 percent, the long?tailed tit down 27 percent, and the coal tit down 20 percent. The study highlighted the need for food to be left out for birds during winter.

The redwing and the fieldfare are relatively unknown outside the eastern part of the country. The research shows, however, that they moved to the other side of the country where the climate is generally mild in winter and that many for the first time have reached Cornwall and Isles of Scilly. The number of redwing sightings was up 185 percent, those of the fieldfare 73, and of the yellowhammer 68.

Another surprise garden “guest” this year was the blackcap. This robin?sized, silver?grey bird was rare in Britain 50 years ago, but increasing numbers now arrive each year from Germany and Austria.

1.How did the urban birdwatchers probably feel when seeing the hungry birds?

A. Excited. B. Worried.

C. Annoyed. D. Motivated.

2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “tempered”？

A. Prevented. B. Relieved.

C. Explained. D. Increased.

3.According to the passage, Cornwall is perhaps ________．

A. a village in eastern Britain

B. a city in western Britain

C. a village in western Britain

D. a city in eastern Britain

4.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. The tough living conditions of some British birds.

B. The various species of Britain's garden birds.

C. The changes of some bird's population in Britain.

D. Unusual bird visitors in Britain's urban gardens.

How can a person recover from emotional problems? Many people suggest that he or she watches humorous films. And a recent study proves it to be wrong. The study also shows that watching at sad films can make getting over a negative mood a easier job.

Emotional experiences is important to people's well?being. People are less likely to share their feelings with these who have had similar experiences. Similar, people prefer movies that reflect their mood. That's the reason a sad film rather than a pleasant one can contribute to comfort a sad person.

Singles' Day ---- the Chinese opposite of Valentine’s Day has turned into a massive online shopping event. It is a day when single people are supposed to buy themselves presents. But there are sociological reasons behind China's “celebration” of single life. And the imbalance could have big consequences for the country.

There were 34 million more men than women in China in 2011. Part of that is natural – usually there are 105 boys born for every 100 girls. But the Chinese gender ratio (性别比例) at birth is much more obvious. It was 116 boys to 100 girls in 2012. The one child policy is largely to blame. Brought in to limit population expansion, the policy allows only one child per family. But because male children are seen as more valuable, as well as more likely to support their parents in old age, some parents choose to have a son over a daughter. The result is that large numbers of men will likely never get married. In fact, one study has predicted that by 2030, 1 in 5 Chinese men in their 30s will never have married, while another states that 94% of unmarried people in China are men.

Traditionally, China has seen high levels of marriage, usually among the young. Besides, the increased education and career opportunities for women have meant that marriages are happening later. It is also traditional that women often marry men of a higher socioeconomic status than themselves. So women at the top and men at the bottom find themselves alone. One study has even suggested a link between an imbalanced gender ratio and growth in violent crime in the country.

Singles’ Day can’t solve all the problems China’s singles face. Indeed, it is possible that it is causing even more problems, as men resort to increasingly risky lines of work to increase their chances of gaining money and thus a wife. I am worried that as money starts to overcome romance, there is evidence that China ' s marriage market is increasingly materialistic.

1.In 2012, if 50 girls were born, how many boys were probably born?

A. 50. B. 52. C. 58. D. 60.

2.What made women in China get married late?

A. Their support of the government’s late marriage policy.

B. Their higher education level and more work chances.

C. That they expect to enjoy their single time when young.

D. That there are too many excellent young men to choose from.

3.What’s the writer’s attitude to the imbalance gender ratio in China?

A. Optimistic B. Concerned

C. Indifferent D. Unknown

4.We can learn from the passage that .

A. Singles' Day is celebrated all over the world.

B. by 2030, 1 in 5 Chinese women in their 30s will be out of marriage.

C. an imbalanced gender ratio is related to the growth in violent crime.

D. Singles' Day will solve all the problems China’s singles face.

A store that sells husbands has just opened in Ottawa where a woman may go to choose a husband from many men.

The store consisted of 6 floors and the men increase in positive attributes（品质，特点）as the shopper goes up the flights. There is, however, a catch（陷阱）.

And again she heads up another flight. The fifth floor sign reads: Floor 5 —These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good-looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic character. “ Oh, mercy me! But just think…what must be awaiting me further on?”

Home on the Way

People need homes. Children assume their parents’ place as home. Boarders call school “home” on weekdays. Married couples work together to build new homes and travelers have no place to call “home”, at least for a few nights. 1.? Don’t they have the right to a home? Of course they do.

Some regular travelers take their own belongings like bed sheets, pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home no matter where they are. Some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with service and attendants. 2. .Furthermore, driving a camping car during one’s travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like home—only mobile!

And how about keeping relationships while in transit(运输中)? 3.. Some send letters and postcards, or even photos. Others may just call and say Hi just to let their friends know that they’re still alive and well. People find ways to keep in touch. Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. 4..

Nowadays, fewer people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another “home” waiting to be found. 5. , we can make the place we stay “home”.

A. Hostels（招待所） provide a clean safe place to stay while you are travelling the world

B. Others may simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homely

C. Backpackers in youth hostels may become very good friends,even closer than siblings(手足)

D. So how about people who have to travel for extended periods of time

E. No matter where you go in the world,hotels are there,too

F. Some keep contact with their friends via Internet

G. Wherever we are,with just a little bit of effort and imagination

Mary is a 16-year-old high school student, who devoted herself to her lessons every day. Last Saturday, as usual, she went to several class. In the evening, she continued to study until deeply into night. She was too sleepy and tired that she couldn’t work effectively. On the Sunday morning, she was about to do her lessons while her father came up and advised her to take a break. Soon they came up a good idea. We decided to go cycling in the countryside. Mary had great fun, competing and chatting with her father, and felt relaxing in the open air. On Monday, Mary was energetic but active in class.

Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made; your future begins here.

However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily defeated by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.

The following you may find useful about life on campus:

• Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new college or university. Give yourself time to make new friends and became familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why you are there. Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.

• If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now (like a day timer, a potable data book), get one. Most of all, don’t depend on your memory.

• Don’t miss the guidelines. The restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student’s handbook. Consider them well-balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can / can’t you do in your student residence (住处)? Who has the right for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?

• Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of your bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Consider this — you are paying thousands of dollars for your course. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.

• Build your identity. This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do. Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas. Do not be afraid of the beyond. This is learning to make good choices.

1. What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To explain why college life is exciting.

B. To persuade you to go to college.

C. To describe the importance of college life.

D. To offer advice on college life.

2.According to the passage, why is it exciting to begin college life?

A. Because you will learn a lot of knowledge.

B. Because you will no longer be afraid of challenges.

C. Because you will make important decisions.

D. Because you get yourself prepared for your future career and life there.

3.The underlined word “know-how” refers to _________.

A. an understanding of college regulations.

B. a brand-new environment.

C. practical knowledge concerning college life.

D. college rules and regulations.

4.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. college students should know what they have fought for on campus.

B. college students should spend as much time as possible on social activities.

C. college students needn’t learn from those who went to college before them.

D. college students don’t need to pay if they repeat or replace a course.
