    9．Along the river banks ofthe Amazon and the Orinocothere lives a bird that swims before it can fly，flies like afatchicken，eatsgreen leave，has the stomach of a cow and has claws on its wings when young．They build their homes about 4.6m above the river，an important feature for the safety of the young．It is called thehoatzin．
    In appearance，thebirds of bothsexes  look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red ontheunderside．The head is small，with a large set of feathers on the top，bright red eyes，and blue skin．Its nearest relatives are the common birds，cuckoos．Its most striking feature，though，is only found in the young．
    Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip．Using these four claws，together with the beak（喙），they can climb about in the bushes，looking very much like primitive birds must have done．When the young hoatzins have learned to fly，they lose their claws．
    During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds，but in April，when the rainy season begins，they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes．

    21．What is the text mainly about？D
    A．Hoatzins in dry and rainy seasons．
    B．The relatives and enemies of hoatzins．
    C．Primitive birds and hoatzins of the Amazon．
    D．The appearance and living habits of hoatzins．
    22．Young hoatzins are different from their parents in thatB．
    A．they look like young cuckoos
    B．they have claws on the wings
    C．they eat a lot like a cow
    D．they live on river banks
    23．What can we infer about primitive birds from the text？A
    A．They had claws to help them climb．
    B．They could fly long distances．
    C．They had four wings like hoatzins．
    D．They had a head with long feathers on the top．
    24．Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes？D
    A．To find more food．
    B．To protect themselves better．
    C．To keep themselves warm．
    D．To produce their young．

    分析 文章介绍了hoatzin麝雉，这种鸟类的外貌以及生活习性．

    解答 DBAD
    21．D 考查文章主题大意．纵观全文，文章主要讲的是hoatzin麝雉，这种鸟类的外貌以及生活习性．故选D．
    22．B  细节题．根据第一段has claws（爪）on its wings when young，和第三段Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip可知，hoatzin在幼年期是有爪子的，而长大学会飞之后就没有了．故选B．
    23．A 推理题．根据第三段第二句话Using these four claws，together with the beak（喙），they can climb about in the bushes，looking very much like primitive birds must have done．得知，关键是primitive"原始的，早期的"的意思，推出有爪子是为了攀爬，故选A．
    24．D 细节题．根据最后一段最后一句话they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes，得知，在雨季聚集在一起是为了繁殖，故选D．

    点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

    19．Imagine you are standing on the 70th floor of the Empire State Building，staring at the cityscape．Suddenly a man pushes past you，opens the window and announces his intention to jump．You yell out，"Stop!Don't do it!"the six-foot-five figure turns to you and menacingly （恐吓地） says，"Try to stop me and I'll take you with me!"
    "Umm…No problem，sir．have a good trip．any last words？"
    "Let me tell you my troubles，"he says，"my wife left me，my kids won't talk to me，I lost my job and my pet turtle died，so why should I go on living？"
    Suddenly you have a flash of inspiration．"Sir，close your eyes for a minute and imagine that you are blind．No colors，no sights of children playing，no fields of flowers，no sunset．Now imagine that suddenly there's a miracle．You open your eyes and your vision is restored!Are you going to jump？Or will you stick around for a week to enjoy the sights？"
    "I'll stay for a wee k．"
    "But what happened to all the troubles？"
    "I guess they're not so bad．I can see!"
    "Well，your eyesight is worth at least five million dollars．You're a rich man!"
    If you really appreciate your eyesight，the other pains are insignificant．But if you take it all for granted，then nothing in life will ever truly give you joy．Actually，there are misconceptions on the road to happiness．
    misconception1："Once I know the tools for being happy，then it will work like magic．"
    Don't expect the results to come automatically．It is possible to understand how to achieve happiness，yet not put it into practice．In fact，many people actually prefer to be comfortable and unhappy，rather than bear the discomfort of changing their habits．Just as learning any new skill requires effort，you have to be willing to invest serious effort to achieve real happiness．
    Misconception 2："if I become content and satisfied with what I have，I'll lose my motivation to achieve more．"
    Now ask someone who is depressed，"Let's go fishing!""I'm tired．Maybe tomorrow．And anyway，I might rain…"in reality，happy people are energetic and ambitious．There's never enough time to do everything they want to do．
    Misconception 3：
    A beautiful Sunday afternoon，you're in the park having a picnic with friends．Suddenly one person complains："who forgot the forks？It's too hot for volleyball．I want to go home already．"
    When our mood negatively affects others，we recognize we have duty to be happy and not spoil the fun．But what about when we're at home with our family？Or when we go into the office on Monday morning？like an open pit in the middle of the road，a sourpuss（牢骚满腹的人） is a public danger．Being happy is part of being considerate to the people around us．
    29．The story is placed at the beginning of the passage in order toD．
    A．tell a skill of persuasion
    B．warn the danger of standing on a tall building
    C．emphasize the importance of eyesight
    D．introduce the theme of the passage
    30．What can be inferred from the underlined sentences？B
    A．Everything has a price．
    B．We should value what we have．
    C．Every dog has its day．
    D．Eyesight is more important．
    31．What is right about happy？C
    A．Happy is a gift．
    B．Happy is limited．
    C．Happy is contagious （会传染的）．
    D．Happy is no more than a skill．
    32．The best subtitle of Misconception 3 isD．
    A．If unhappy occurs at home，I needn't pretend to be happy
    B．If I can't make others unhappy，I won't be happy．
    C．If someone is happy，then others around them are happy．
    D．If I want to be depressed，that's my own prerogative．

    17．We are not born with courage，but neither are we born with fear．Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences，by what someone has told you，by what you've read in the papers．Some fears are reasonable，like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o'clock in the morning．But once you learn to avoid that situation，you won't need to live in fear of it．
    Fears，even the most basic ones，can totally destroy our ambitions．Fear can destroy fortunes．Fear can destroy relationships．Fear，if left uncontrolled，can destroy our lives．Fear is one of the many enemies hidden inside us．
    Let me tell you about three of the other enemies we face from within．The first enemy that you've got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference．What a tragic disease this is!"Ho-hum，let it slide．I'll just drift（漂流） along．"Here's one problem with drifting：you can't drift your way to the top of the mountain．
    The second enemy we face is indecision．Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise．It will steal your chances for a better future．Take a sword to this enemy．
    The third enemy inside is doubt．Sure，there's room for healthy skepticism（怀疑）．You can't believe everything．But you also can't let doubt take over．Many people doubt the past，doubt the future，doubt each other，doubt the government，doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities．Worst of all，they doubt themselves．I'm telling you，doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success．It will empty both your bank account and your heart．Doubt is an enemy．Go after it．Get rid of it．
    Title：Facing the enemies within
    What they are（81）How theyaffect youHow you can deal with them
    Fear（82）Destroy your ambitions，fortunes，relationships and even lives．Bring it under control．
    IndifferenceJust get you to drift along，in which case，you can never （83）make it to the top of the mountain．Destroy it before it destroys you．
    Indecision（84）Steal your opportunity，enterprise and your chances for a better future．Take a sword to it．
    Doubt●Destroy your life and your chances of success．
    ●Empty your heart as （85）well as your bank account．    		Go after it and remove it．

    4．Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys？
    The answer depends largely（61）on cultural values as well as personal experiences．To the Egyptians，green was a color（62）which/thatrepresented the hope and joy of spring，while for Muslims，it means heaven．Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures．During the Spring Festival in China，children （63）are given（give） money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year．For many nations，blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs．Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect （64）themselves against evils（灾祸）．
    People's（65）choice（choose） of colors is also influenced by their bodies'reactions toward them．Green is said to be （66）a most restful color．It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally （67）and physically．People（68）working  （work） in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches．
    Red can cause a person's blood pressure to rise and increase people's appetites（食欲）．Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant．And many commercial websites will have a red"Buy Now"button because red is a color that （69）easily（easy） catches a person's eye．
    Blue is another calming color．Unlike red，blue is believed to cause people to lose appetite．So（70）if/when you want to eat less，some suggest that eating from blue plates can help．
