　　Passenger pigeons(旅鴿)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 birds 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 abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting 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(驅散)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 in September 1, 1914.

　　【試題分析】　據(jù)記載，在18世紀及19世紀，美國有大量的旅鴿。本文描述了這一期間旅鴿的生存狀況。

　　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 population in the US

　　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句的信息可知，在18世紀及19世紀早期，美國旅鴿的數(shù)量很大。

　　答案：D

　　The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons________．

　　A．escape

　　B．ruin

　　C．liberation

　　D．evolution

　　解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段第二句中的“...people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands.”可知，人們認為旅鴿數(shù)量極大，因此大量捕殺它們，所以正是由于旅鴿數(shù)量大才導致它們被捕殺，故可推知該詞的意思是“損壞，破壞”之意。

　　答案：B

　　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.

　　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句“The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.”可知，他們捕殺旅鴿的原因是為了賺錢。

　　答案：C

　　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.

　　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句可知，雖然密歇根州制定了法律，但是到那個時候，已經(jīng)不能見到大量的旅鴿了，這說明法律制定及宣布得太遲。

　　答案：B

　　【2024·新課標全國卷Ⅰ 】閱讀理解C

　　typical lion tamer (馴獸師) in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭子)and a chair.The whip gets all of the attention , but it's mostly for show.In reality , it's the chair that does the important work.When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face , the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time.With its focus divided , the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next.When faced with so many options , the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.

　　How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion ? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g.lose weight , start a business , travel more )-only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress ?

　　This upsets me to no end because while all the

　　experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information.The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things , and so we take less action , make less progress , and stay the same when we could be improving.

　　It doesn't have to be that way.Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face , remember this：All you need to do is focus on one thing.You just need to get started.Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people.If you have somewhere you want to go , something you want to accomplish , someone you want to become....take immediate action.If you're clear about where you want to go , the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out the way.

　　【試題分析】　面對生活中的眾多選擇，我們應該如何做？通過文中馴獸師的做法，我們可以得到些啟發(fā)。

　　1. Why does the lion tamer use a chair?

　　A．To trick the lion.

　　B．To show off his skill.

　　C．To get ready for a fight.

　　D．To entertain the audience.

　　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第四、五句可知，馴獸師舉起椅子的目的是為了分散獅子的注意力，可見馴獸師使用椅子的目的是欺騙獅子。

　　答案：A

　　In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?

　　A．They feel puzzled over choices.

　　B．They hold on to the wrong things.

　　C．They find it hard to make changes.

　　D．They have to do something for show.

　　解析：推理判斷題。結合前三段的內容可知，人們對待選擇的態(tài)度通常是疑惑不解的，這就與獅子面對椅子時的情況相同。

　　答案：A

　　What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in paragraph 3?

　　A．Tolerant

　　B．Doubtful

　　C．Respectful

　　D．Supportive

　　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句可知，專家們也忙于討論什么是最好的選擇這個問題，很明顯，他們的做法也令人感到疑惑。

　　答案：B

　　4．When the world is “waving a chair in your face”， you're advised to________．

　　A．wait for a better chance

　　B．break your old habits

　　C．make a quick decision

　　D．ask for clear guidance

　　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“All you need to do is focus on one thing...take immediate action.”可知，你所得到的建議是“盡快做出決定”。

　　答案：C

　　【2024·新課標全國卷Ⅰ 】閱讀理解D

　　As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing.In fact, half of the 6，000-7，000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)．

　　In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations-UNESCO and National Geographic among them-have，have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.

　　Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that_tradition．His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.

　　Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China.But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.

　　At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials-including photographs, films, tap recordings, and field notes which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.

　　Now, through the two organizations that he has founded-the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project-Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected，thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet，Turin notes，the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.

　　【試題分析】　世界上許多語言正面臨著滅絕的形勢，針對這種現(xiàn)狀，科學家和學者付出了很大的努力去拯救這些語言及其所反映的文化。

　　1．Many scholars are making efforts to________．

　　A．promote global languages

　　B．rescue the disappearing languages

　　C．search for language communities

　　D．set up languages research organizations

　　解析：細節(jié)理解題。文章第一段提到世界上有些語言正面臨滅絕的形勢，再根據(jù)第二段第一句中“In an effort to prevent language loss”可知，學者們努力的目的是為了拯救正在消失的語言。

　　答案：B

　　2. What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

　　A．Having first records of the languages.

　　B．Writing books on language searching.

　　C．Telling stories about language users.
