For thousands of years, people around the world have watched birds to know when seasons change. Today, scientists use tools to study birds’ seasonal travel. But even without modern technology, nature still gives us important hints. Here are some interesting things birds do that tell us about the weather: Singing More: If birds sing loudly in the morning, it usually means the day will be sunny and warm. When there is no wind, their songs sound clearer. Flying Together: When birds gather in large groups, it often means a storm is near. This is because birds can feel changes in the air pressure before bad weather comes. Then they will gather together to keep warm and search for food. Building Nests(巢穴) High: Birds that build nests high in trees might be preparing for heavy rain. They choose safe places to protect their eggs from floods. Birds act in these ways for two main reasons. First, weather changes influence their food. For example, insects fly lower before a storm, so birds fly down to catch them. Second,birds can feel small changes in the air pressure. When the air pressure drops(a sign of rain), some birds become restless. If you see birds suddenly hiding in trees, it’s time to take an umbrella! Now, warmer winters are changing some birds’ habits. Some birds start their seasonal travel earlier or stay closer to home. By studying these changes, scientists learn not only about birds but also how to protect our environment. 26.How does the passage begin to catch the readers’ attention? A.With a question. B.With an old saying. C.With a personal story. D.With a scientific fact. 27.What does the underlined word “hints” mean in paragraph 2? A.Standards. B.Gifts. C.Choices. D.Signs. 28.What may happen when birds gather in large groups? A.There will be a storm soon. B.They will look for some food. C.They will fly to warm places. D.It will be sunny and warm today. 29.Why does the writer end the passage by talking about warmer winters? A.To talk about winter weather. B.To tell readers how to face warmer winters. C.To suggest the best season for bird watching. D.To connect bird habits with environmental worries. 30.What is the best title for the passage? A.Why we need to watch birds B.Different ways to protect birds C.Modern tools for studying birds D.How birds show us the weather changes Ⅵ.根据句意, 用括号中所给词的适当形式填空 31.He is a good 　　　　　　(report).  32.Lisa did lots of 　　　　　　(prepare) for the final exam and she passed it finally.  33.I slept 　　　　　　(sound) last night and woke up feeling refreshed.  34.The little boy 　　　　　　(hide) behind the door to surprise his friends.  35.It’s a 　　　　　　(rain) day today, so we’d better stay at home.  Ⅶ.书面表达 6月1日下午五点, 李华的家乡发生了一场地震, 幸运的是, 李华一家安然无恙。假如你是李华, 请描述一下地震发生时家人的活动及地震后社区的情况。 提示: 1.What were your family doing? 2.What was the community like after the earthquake? 要求: 1.文中不得出现真实姓名、校名等信息; 2.词数80左右(开头已给出, 不计入总词数)。 There was an earthquake at about 5:00 p.m. on June 1st in my hometown. _________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________  参考答案 【听力原文】 Ⅰ.1.It was cold and rained heavily that day. 2.It was the first snow of the year. 3.I was reading a book about bamboo forests. 4.Sam turned off the alarm and kept sleeping. 5.Jenny was shocked when she heard about the accident.
