Question

Mr. Ellis is very old. He has seen many changes in his home town.
　　 He knows that things are different now. But he never forgets the old days. He likes to talk about them. He often talks about his favourite（最喜欢的）birds, the robins （一种小小鸟——鸫）.  "When I was a boy, these houses were not here. There were wide fields and tall trees. Every spring robins would come. Thousands of them would fly up to the north from the south. They spent the winter in the south. Some would build their nests（巢）in the trees near our houses. Then people started to cut down trees, and they built more houses. The robins stopped coming. They couldn't build their nests near our houses because there were no trees."

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是Ellis先生经常想起以前的日子，在他小的时候，他经常看到一种鸟，这种鸟在他家附近的树上建造巢。但是现在人们砍倒越来越多的树，这种鸟再也不会出现了，所以Ellis先生很不喜欢这种变化。
小题1:细节理解题。根据短文中But he never forgets the old days. He likes to talk about them.可知，Ellis先生永远不会忘记过去是日子，经常谈起过去。故选B。
小题2:细节理解题。根据短文中Ellis先生所说的话Thousands of them would fly up to the north from the south. They spent the winter in the south.可知，这种鸟从冬天的时候会从北方飞到南方去过冬。故选A。
小题3:细节理解题。根据短文中Ellis先生的话Some would build their nests（巢）in the trees near our houses.可知，这种叫robin的鸟在我们家附近的树上建造他们的巢。故选C。
小题4:细节理解题。根据短文中Then people started to cut down trees, and they built more houses.可知，人们砍倒树木，是为了建造更多的房子。故选A。
小题5:推理判断题。根据短文的大意可知，Ellis先生非常怀念他过去的生活，他喜欢一种叫robin的小鸟，这种小鸟在树上建造他们的巢。但是现在因为人们不断的砍倒树木，所以这种鸟就不能在他们家附近建造巢了，Ellis先生再也看不到这种鸟了，所以他不喜欢这种改变。故选D。
