21、  

Before winter arrives, many kinds of birds start to fly south. People often call it migration. How much do you know about migration? Why do only some birds migrate? How do birds know when to go south? Can they find their way?

Some birds fly south because they may die from hunger if they don't do that. The woodpecker(啄木鸟),for example, doesn't need to fly south because it can find something to eat in the bark(树皮) of the trees. But some birds eat grains(谷物). Their food disappears in winter, so they must fly south where food can still be found. But why don't they stay there forever? Perhaps they know if they stay in the south, they will eat up food there, too.

Birds seem to know when winter comes because they find that the days are getting shorter in winter. Once they leave from the north, the sun is really helpful. The sun is in different positions in the sky at different time of a day. Birds know the time of the day by watching the position of the sun. On long flights, most of the birds use stars to navigate(导航) their way.

The homing pigeon(信鸽) doesn't use the sun or the stars. Scientists believe that it uses the magnetic field(磁场) of the earth. One of the most amazing migrations is that of the tiny hummingbird(蜂鸟). It travels from Canada to Mexico—a long distance of over 3600 kilometers.

【1】The underlined word “migration” in the first paragraph means________

A.looking for food B.practicing flying C.moving to another place

【2】The birds which eat grains fly south in winter mainly because________

A.they like warm weather better.

B.they really need food.

C.it is one of their habits.

【3】On long migration flights, most birds find their way with the help of________

A.the stars B.the magnetic field C.the sun

【4】Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A.The woodpecker doesn't need migration.

B.Many birds migrate in the middle of winter.

C.The hummingbird can fly to Mexico for food in winter.

【5】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.The different ways birds use to migrate.

B.The reasons why many birds migrate in winter.

C.The mystery(奥秘) of birds' migration.

22、The fire at Notre Dame Cathedral（巴黎圣母院）in Paris has raised questions about the condition of thousands of other historic buildings across Europe.

Some people say the fire last month was a wake-up call, not just for Europe, but the whole world. Large fires have long robbed humanity of knowledge, art and treasures. One example is the fire at the famous library of Alexandria in northern Egypt about 1700 years ago.

In 2015, the German engineering company Siemens found that Scotland had about 10 serious fires a year, while England lost at least twelve listed buildings a year. In Germany, 70 historic buildings have been destroyed since 2000.

And all too often, fires happen while old buildings are being repaired. Experts say that what is needed is continuous attention and maintenance(维护). These steps, if taken, could help avoid the need for major repairing work.

But regular attention and maintenance costs money.

Part of the problem comes from the shortage of money provided by governments after the 2008 financial crisis (金融危机). As a result, governments are increasingly looking for rich companies to keep up these historic buildings.

“We do need more money, but this is a shared duty for governments, businesses and citizens across Europe,” said an officer from the European Union.

Some say world-famous monuments like Notre Dame are the driving force behind tourism and should get more respect. People have noticed the importance of such respect.

“Historic buildings are a gold mine(矿). You cannot explore it and then just leave the mine and go to another one. It is something you really have to value,” the officer said.

【1】After the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral, more attention is paid to ________ .

A．European governments

B．famous libraries

C．engineering companies

D．the old buildings

【2】According to the passage, one of the biggest enemies of cultural treasures is ________ .

A．robbers

B．fires

C．money

D．tourists

【3】“These steps” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代) ________ .

A．attention and maintenance

B．careful repairing work

C．enough respect from people

D．serious financial crisis

【4】The officer thinks ________ should accept the duty of caring for these famous monuments.

A．citizens around the world

B．the European governments

C．rich European businesses

D．the whole European society

【5】The purpose of writing this article is to ask everyone to ________ .

A．value historic buildings

B．donate plenty of money

C．pay attention to big fires

D．avoid exploring mines
