• 2．Flocks of hundreds of regent honeyeaters（王吸蜜鳥）could once be spotted all over south-eastern Australia on a regular basis，but today the species is critically endangered，with only 300 believed to exist in the entire world.They were also known for the complexity of their mating songs，but as their numbers started declining，scientists started noticing male regent honeyeaters didn't even sound like their species anymore.Today，there is enough evidence that regent honeyeaters have forgotten how to sing，which could cause the entire species to go extinct.
     At one point，Australian scientists noticed that male regent honeyeaters were imitating（模仿）the songs of other bird species.Some experts believed that the imitation was a purposeful strategy to avoid attacks from their enemies.However，a recent study showed otherwise.Young regent honeyeaters learn their songs from adult members of their species，just like human children learn to speak，but because they are spread so thin in their habitat-they could occupy probably 10 times the size of the UK but are really small in quantity-many males don't get to listen to the right songs，so they start adopting the tunes of other bird species.The problem is that these aren't the songs female regent honeyeaters want to hear，so their chances of finding a mate are very slim.
     Scientists are now planning to catch wild males that can sing and put them next to caged regent honeyeaters so that the young birds can learn the right song.They then plan to release them into the wild every few years，where they will hopefully be able to attract females and reproduce.
     "This study shows how damaging population declines and habitat fragmentation（碎片）might be to this critical process in the life of songbirds，" said Dr Sue Zollinger，an expert in animal communication from Manchester Metropolitan University.
  
  （1）Why are regent honeyeaters faced with extinction？

  
  A．They are short of food.
  B．They are incapable of imitation.
  C．Their habitats are badly destroyed.
  D．Male birds fail to sing the right songs.
  （2）What is paragraph 2 intended to do？

  
  A．Analyse the reason.
  B．Draw a conclusion.
  C．Present the problem.
  D．Add some background.
  （3）What are scientists doing to help the honeyeaters？

  
  A．Broadcasting mating songs to the young birds.
  B．Introducing wild birds to teach caged ones.
  C．Training them to escape from the enemies.
  D．Spreading them in different habitats.
  （4）Why does the writer mention Dr Sue Zollinger's words？

  
  A．To indicate the difficulty of catching wild birds.
  B．To offer some strategies for animal communication.
  C．To point out the critical tunes of the bird's mating songs.
  D．To stress the significance of an ideal population per habitat.

• 3．    After an absence of thirty years，I decided to visit my old school again.I had expected to find changes，but not a completely different building.As I walked up the school drive，I wondered for a moment if I had come to the right address.The dirty red brick houses had been swept away.In its place stood a bright，modern block.A huge expanse of glass extended （延展） across the face of the building，and in front，there was a well-kept lawn （草坪） where there used to be "an untidy gravel （沙石） yard".
      I was pleased to find that it was bread time and that the children were all in the playground.This would enable me to meet some members of staff.On entering the building，I was surprised to hear loud laughter coming from what appeared to be the masters' common room.I could not help remembering the teachers in my time，all dressed in black gowns and high collars.And above all，I recalled Mr.Garston whom we had nicknamed "Mr.Ghastly"，the headmaster who had iron discipline on staff and pupils alike.I knocked at the common room door and was welcomed by a smiling young man who introduced himself to me as the headmaster.He was dressed casually in a sports jacket，and his cheerful manner，quickly dispelled （驅(qū)散） the image of Mr.Ghastly.After I had explained who I was，the headmaster presented me to the teachers all of whom were a little younger than himself，and said he would take me round the school.
      Here the biggest surprise of all was in store for me.Gone were the heavy desks of old with their deeply carved names；gone too，were the dark classrooms with their ink stained，dark brown walls，and their raised platforms for the teachers.The rooms now were painted in bright colors，and the children，far from sitting straight in their places，seemed almost free to do as they liked.I looked with envy as I remembered how，as a child，I had looked at the blackboard hardly daring to whisper to my neighbor.
  
  （1）Which of the following statements is NOT true？

  
  A．He had expected that the school had completely changed.
  B．In the writer's time，all the teachers were dressed in black gowns and high collars.
  C．There was a well-kept lawn in their school when he visited it.
  D．An untidy gravel yard had disappeared.
  （2）"Mr.Ghastly" must be

  .
  A．the writer's teacher
  B．a(chǎn) serious old man
  C．the strict headmaster
  D．a(chǎn) naughty boy
  （3）From what is said in the passage it seems clear the writer

  .
  A．disapproved of all the changes that had taken place
  B．felt sorry for the children in the school
  C．was glad that the school was still the same
  D．felt that conditions at the school had improved a lot
