Why Do Mockingbirds Copy?
Mockingbirds live in North and South America. They are good copycats. They imitate other birds. But they
can also imitate other animals. They can even make sounds like a piano or car alarm. Mockingbirds learn to sing
many songs. Some learn more than 200 different songs. They can often trick people! But mockingbirds can’t trick other birds. If they can’t trick other birds, why do they copy sounds? They do it to attract and avoid other birds!
Males are loud singers, and they sing many songs. They always sing when they want to meet females. A male bird can sing most of the day and night. The singing attracts females. But it also keeps away other males. The
longer a mockingbird lives, the more songs it knows. To show this characteristic, the male mockingbird sings all
the songs it knows. A female mockingbird is attracted to a male who has lived a long time.
Mockingbirds usually sing short songs. They sing each sound several times. Then they move to the next sound. Female mockingbirds sing softly and less often than males. They usually sing at their nests in the winter to keep away other birds. When another bird comes near, the mockingbird makes a loud noise to frighten it. It’s
amazing that the mockingbird can copy so many songs of other birds. Some songs are not easy to learn. The
mockingbird must listen well to imitate the sounds. But a mockingbird also has good eyes and a good memory.
When a person comes near its nest, the mockingbird remembers that person. It knows that person’s face after many years!
21. Mockingbirds are special because they can ___________.
A. create songs B. copy sounds
C. remember other birds D. understand human’s words
22. Female mockingbirds sing at their nests in the winter to ___________.
A. scare other birds B. practise the songs
C. warn human beings D. attract male birds
23. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To recommend a course on birdlife.
B. To call on people to protect birds.
C. To give advice on feeding birds.
D. To introduce an interesting bird.

The Printing Press
What do you think is the most important invention in the last 1000 years? Is it the light bulb or the Internet? Many people say that it is the printing press, a machine that allows us to print copies of books and documents. But why is the printing press so important?
Before the printing press, books were copied by hand. Ancient Roman book publishers sometimes sold as many as 5, 000 copies of a book that had been copied by slaves (奴⾪). But copying a book took so much time and was so expensive that often only a few copies of each book were made. As a result, usually only a small
percentage of the population learned to read and owned books.
In 1450, a goldsmith named Johannes Gutenberg in Germany invented the modern printing press. The impact
of his machine is sometimes compared to the invention of the Internet. Although ancient Chinese people invented
paper in 105 AD and used woodblock printing before 200 AD, Gutenberg’s printing press was easy to use with languages that had alphabetic scripts(字母体系). After 1450, thousands of copies of a popular book or newspaper could be made quickly and cheaply. Books and newspapers with ideas and images from all over the world went
into the market for the wide public.
Knowledge is power. Reading has brought about amazing changes in science, technology and politics. We have learned how to create wealth and even travel to far-away worlds. The computer, cellphone, and Internet have grown, because billions of powerful readers were created by the printing press.
From 1450 on, more and more people have become readers. These billions of readers are powerful, and they help the world to make progress at a fast speed.
24. Not many people read in ancient Rome because they had _____________.
A. few books to read B. little time to read
C. no money for books D. no interest in books
25. The modern printing press is sometimes compared to the Internet due to its ________.
A. low cost B. common use
C. great influence D. rapid development
26. What is mainly discussed about the printing press in the last two paragraphs?
A. The progress. B. The future. C. The contribution. D. The function.
C
Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment,
and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty(强⼤的) forces will come to your aid.
Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried
and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.
第 3 页
Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.
Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line, ” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy
like a bullet(⼦弹) — and stopped him cold.”
Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme — is not one that can be acquired overnight. But
it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks(挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee(保证) of success. But the person who tries to do
something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.
So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities — and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.
27. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?
A. He faced huge risks.
B. He lacked mighty forces.
C. Fear prevented him from trying.
D. Failure blocked his way to success.
28. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?
A. Swallow more than you can digest.
B. Act slightly above your abilities.
C. Develop more mysterious powers.
D. Learn to make creative decisions.
29. What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game?
A. His physical strength. B. His basic skill.
C. His real fear. D. His spiritual force.
30. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To encourage people to be courageous.
B. To advise people to build up physical power.
C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.
D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.

Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to
easy morning wake-up lies in resetting your body clock. 31 Here is how to make one.
• 32 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to
have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.
•Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out
clothes, shoes, and bags. 33 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker
with a timer.
•Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following
week, a recent study found. 34 .
•Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve
tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record. 35 If not, take another look at other methods you
could try.
A. Get a sleep specialist.
B. Find the right motivation.
C. A better plan for sleep can help.
D. And consider setting a second alarm.
E. If the steps you take are working, keep it up.
F. Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day.
G. Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the café to get coffee.

Balancing Trees and CO2
Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of reducing climate change. Perhaps it’s time for us to rethink this practice. Trees pull CO2 from the air. This effectively removes CO2 from the atmosphere. But trees
only hold onto CO2 as long as they’re alive. Once they die, trees decay(腐烂) and release that CO2 back into the
atmosphere.
Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever. The rise of CO2, mainly
due to burning fossil fuels, is probably driving that rapid growth, said Roel Brienen, a forest ecologist at the
University of Leeds, UK. High levels of CO2 are increasing temperatures, which in turn speeds tree growth in those areas, he added.
The faster trees grow, the faster they store carbon. It seems like good news. However, it is known that fast- growing tree species, in general, live shorter lives than their slow-growing relatives.
In order to see whether the growth-lifespan trade-off(⽣长与寿命之间的权衡) is a universal phenomenon, Brienen and his colleagues analyzed over 210,000 individual tree ring records of 110 tree species from more than
79,000 sites worldwide. They found that, in almost all habitats and all sites, faster-growing tree species died
younger than slow-growing species, and even within a species, the trade-off between growth and lifespan held strong.
The team also created a computer program that modeled a forest and tweaked(微量调整) the growth of the trees in this model. Early on, it showed that “the forest could hold more carbon as the trees grew faster”, Brienen
reported. But after 20 years, these trees started dying and losing this extra carbon again. “We must understand that
the only solution to bringing down CO2 levels is to stop emitting(排放) it into the atmosphere,” said Brienen.
36. What does “this practice” in Para.1 refer to?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
37. Why are trees around the world growing faster than ever?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
38. Read the following statement, underline the false part of it and explain the reason.
The team has found that the faster trees grow, the faster they store CO2 , and the longer lives they live.

39. Please briefly present what you can do in daily life to reduce the emission of CO2 . (In about 40 words)
