Exercise 2 高考英语阅读理解练习
By the time Robert Porter Allen was born in 1905, the whooping crane(鸣鹤)was already in trouble. The beautiful bird was once commonly found across North America. By 1941, the whooping crane population had dwindled to the double digits. The tallest species in North America was critically endangered.
In the 1940s, the remaining cranes migrated(迁徙) every year from the Gulf Coast of Texas to somewhere in the north of Canada to breed(繁殖). The conservation community didn’t know where the birds went. The wetlands where they used to spend winters were growing rarer and rarer as the tiny, non-migrating group of whooping cranes was alive in Louisiana in 1941, but the group had disappeared by the time Allen started his research.
In 1942, Allen undertook the whooping crane project over the next three years. He did almost constant field work that took him from Texas up the cranes’ migration route to Nebraska, and on into Saskatchewan in search of the nesting ground of the birds.
Studying the bird in its breeding habitat and seeing how many birds were born would allow conservationists to understand how to help the birds on their journey. But finding the whooping crane’s nesting site meant difficult and fruitless air searches over northern Canada.
In 1952, Allen wrote a report on the whooping crane. The report was a warning call to the conservation community:only 33 migratory “whoopers” remained, and their nesting site still hadn’t been found. Two years later, the whooping cranes’ breeding grounds in Canada’s Wood Buffalo National Park were finally found, and Allen headed north to study them first-hand—an “incredibly difficult journey”, in Sprunt’s words. Allen’s work laid the groundwork for conservationists to save the birds.
Their efforts paid off as the numbers reached 57 by 1970 and 214 by 2005. Today, the whooping crane is still listed as endangered, but there are roughly 600 birds alive.

A.It is a story about Allen’s searching for a lost bird.
B.It is a story about the cranes’ long migration flight.
C.It is a story about the crane surviving the winters.
D.It is a story about conserving the whooping crane.
2.What does the underlined word “dwindled” mean in the first paragraph?
A.Increased. B.Reduced. C.Stayed. D.Limited.
3.According to the passage, which of the following is mainly responsible for what happened to the remaining whooping cranes?
A.Habitat loss. B.Illegal hunting.
C.Natural disasters. D.Deadly diseases.
4.Which of the following events took place in 1954?
A.The non-migrating group of whooping cranes disappeared.
B.Robert Porter Allen undertook the whooping crane project.
C.The whooping cranes’ breeding grounds were found.

Exercise 3 新题型写作练习
John Blanchard stood up, straightened his army uniform(制服), and studied the crowd making their way through the station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he had never seen, the girl with a rose.
His interest in her began thirteen months ago in a library. Taking a book off the shelf, he found himself fascinated, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin (页边的空白). The soft handwriting showed a thoughtful soul and brilliant mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he found her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond (通信). The next day he was shipped overseas for military service.
During the next year and one month, the two begun to know each other by mail. Each letter was a seed falling on both hearts. A romance was budding. Blanchard asked for a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like.
When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting — 7 pm at the Grand Central Station in New York. “You'll recognize me，” she wrote. “By the red rose I'll wear my dress.” So at 7：00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd never seen.
A young lady was coming toward him. Her figure was long and slim; her blonde hair lay back from her ears; her eyes were blue as flowers; her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime coming alive. He went toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As he moved, a middle aged woman whispered, “Going my way, Sir？”

Paragraph 1：
Almost uncontrollably he made his way to the woman, and then he noticed that she was wearing a red rose. John Blanchard was disappointed to see the woman, who was over 40 years old. Exactly, She was the girl he was waiting for. Though he would like to follow the young lady, he stopped and walked toward the woman, greeted her and held out the book he found in the library. “I'm John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Hollis Maynell. I am more than glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner？”
Paragraph 2：
The woman's face broadened into a big smile. “I don't know what this is about，”she answered, “but the young lady in her pale green suit who just went by begged me to wear the red rose on my coat. And she said if you were going to invite me to dinner, I should tell you that she is waiting for you in the restaurant across the street. She said it was a test！”
