[标准答案]B
[试题解析] 细节题，中。题干中的causes表明此题问的是“原因”，robins、sing so much帮助定位第二段，“路灯、外卖店招牌以及家庭（灯光）影响了鸟的生物钟，致使他们该睡的时候却醒着，得知答案是B。street lamps, take away signs and homes是light in modern life的同义转述，leading to是causes的同义转述。A选项是来自倒数第三段的干扰；C选项文章未提到，只是在最后一段说某些鸟反而从这样的environment获得好处；D选项是来自最后一段的干扰。原文用lamps, signs, homes，而避免使用light这样的字眼，增加了B选项难度。
43. What is the researchers' concern over the increase of birds' song output? A. The environment might be polluted. B. The birds' health might be damaged. C. The industry cost might be increased. D.The people's hearing might be affected. [标准答案]B
[试题解析] 细节题，易。题干中的researchers’ concern、increase、song output帮助定位到第一段，in danger of是might be damaged的同义转述，wearing themselves out是the birds和health … damaged的同义转述，by singing too much是题干中的the increase of birds’ song output的同义转述。另外，第四段Dr. Dominoni的发言So by increasing … some costs of energy也呼应了第一段的内容，进而验证了B是正确选项。ACD均不是研究者担心的问题，文章也未提到，很容易排除。
44. What does the underlined word \ A. Active at night. B. Inactive at night. C. Active during the day. D. Inactive during the day. [标准答案]A
[试题解析] 代词题，易。在原文中，nocturnal前有also，证明nocturnal是前文提到的事情，根据第一句话的内容“不是只有知更鸟才因为人工灯光而保持清醒”可以知道讲的是鸟类在夜晚受灯光影响睡不着，所以选A。本题只要读懂了文章，稍加做题技巧，只要反应快、手不残，就不会选到B和C上去。
45. Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments? A. Because there are fewer dangers. B. Because there is more food to eat. C. Because there is less light pollution D. Because there are more places to take shelter. [标准答案]A
[试题解析] 细节题，易。题干中的why、thrive、noisy environment可轻易定位到最后一段。根据最后一句“据信因为天敌逃往了更安静地区，所以它们就充分利用了（这个好处）”可知答案是A。their predators fleeing to quieter areas是there are fewer dangers的同义转述。BCD文章没提到。

No one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study suggests they used a little rock‘n’roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say. “Technically, I think what they’re proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said. People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And there’s no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away. The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand. Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.
However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way, who led the new study . West said, “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction . I thought , ‘Why don’t they just try rolling the things ?” A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realized. That , he notes, should make a block of stone “a lot easier to roll than a square”. So he tried it. He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground. They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path. West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths. 46.It’s widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by ______. A.rolling them on roads B.pushing them over the sand C.sliding them on smooth paths D.dragging them on some poles [标准答案] C

49. Why is rolling better than sliding according to West? A. Because more force is needed for sliding.
B. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle. C. Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous. D. Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling. [标准答案] D

It was a hot summer day that found me running down the street with a dollar in my sweaty hand. The closer I got to Sam & Joe's Stationery Store, the more excited I was. After all, a dollar was a tidy sum for an 11-year-old boy in 1961.
Out of breath, I swung open the door and got a blast of cold air that instantly cooled me off. I was in a place of pure happiness. Sam & Joe's had it all - books, candy, toys, baseball cards，puzzles and games. I went directly to the bar and ordered a bottle of soda. There I sat, considering my next move.

Books always came first. I picked out five titles. Next came the candy, rows and rows of it. I chose five candy bars, which brought my total to 25 cents. Then a bottle of cold orange juice, a bag of chips and a pack of Ted Williams baseball cards. After paying the clerk, I still had 5 cents. I hurried directly to my backyard, where an apple tree patiently waited for me. There, sitting in the shade against its strong trunk, I read my books, ate my candy and drank my orange juice. As I sat in my own personal heaven，I started thinking about having more. That's when a fantastic life-changing idea popped into head: If I could get more money, could buy more books l liked, buy anything l wanted. That's how it all started.
56. How did the boy fell on his way to Sam & Joe’s (no more than 5 words) 57. What does “a tidy sum” mean in Paragraph 1? (no more than 5 words)
58. What did the boy consider doing first after he ordered soda?(no more than 5 words)
59. What did the boy do while reading? (no more than 5 words)
60. Where was the boy’s “personal heaven”? (no more than 9 words)
