Ⅵ. 阅读理解

[2014·课标全国卷Ⅰ] Passenger pigeons(旅鸽)  once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks(群) so large that they darkened the sky for hours.

It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point,  there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons－a number equal to  24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.

Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing.  Where the birds were most abundant , people believed there was an ever­lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial  hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.

By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans' need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold  temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline.   Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.

In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting  the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care.  The last of them, known affectionately  as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1,  1914.

本文为说明文，题材为环境与自然类。曾几何时在美国蔚蓝的天空飞翔着一种鸟，这种鸟可能是当时美国数量最多的鸟类——旅鸽。但是慢慢地这种鸟的数量急剧减少，人们几乎看不到它们了。发生了什么事？这些鸟去哪儿了呢？

1. In the 18th and early 19th centuries,  passenger pigeons   ________.

A. were the biggest bird in the world

B. lived mainly in the south of America

C. did great harm to the natural environment

D. were the largest bird population in the US

答案：D　推理判断题。根据第二段第一句话可知当时这种鸟的数量占据美国全部鸟类数量的24%到40%，可能是世界上最多的鸟，由此推断它是当时美国数量最多的鸟类，所以答案为D项。没有提及它们是世界上最大的鸟类，排除A项；也没有提及它们主要生活在美国的南部，排除B项；更没有提及它们给环境带来了巨大的危害，排除C项。

2. The underlined word “undoing”  probably refers to the pigeons'  ________.

A. escape  　　　　　　 B. ruin

C. liberation             D. evolution

答案：B　词义猜测题。根据后面的描述可知人们大量捕捉这种鸟，把它们卖到饭店。由此推断出这种鸟的数量众多导致了它们的毁灭。所以答案为B项。escape逃跑，避开；ruin毁坏，毁灭；liberation解放；evolution进化，发展。

3. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger  pigeons?

A. To seek pleasure.        B. To save other birds.

C. To make money.         D. To protect crops.

答案：C　细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句话The birds were shipped to  large cities and sold in restaurants.可知人们主要是为了钱才大量屠杀这种鸟的，所以答案为C项。其他三项文中均未提及。

4. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?

A. It was ignored by the public.

B. It was declared too late.

C. It was unfair.

D. It was strict.

答案：B　推理判断题。根据最后一段的描述可知尽管密歇根州于1897年通过了禁止屠杀旅鸽的法律，但是在以前的10年里人们已经没有见过有一定规模的鸟群飞过密歇根州了。由此推断出该法律颁布得太晚了，所以答案为B项。其他三项文中均未提及。
