三、 Reading Comprehension(每小题2分，共30分)
Directions: There are three reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answers to each question.
Passage one
Why do some birds flock when they feed? Many researchers say birds forage in groups to protect themselves from being attacked. Since there are a greater number of eyes on the lookout, individual birds can spend more time eating and less time worrying about being eaten.
Thomas Caraco, a biologist at the University of Rochester, recently studied yellow-eyed juncos over a three-day period to see how they altered their feeding habits in the presence of a trained Harris hawk. When Caraco released the bird, it swooped over the juncos, appearing to attack. The birds reacted by huddling together in a flock. And, despite the threat from above, they spent less time scanning and more time eating the food Caraco provided than they did when foraging individually.
To see how the juncos would react if they had somewhere to hide, Caraco placed a Christmas tree in the feeding area. The birds became even freer.
One negative note; when the number of birds in the flock increased beyond a certain point, they began to fight. The dominant juncos hogged the food and the meek birds lost out.
41. Juncos are probably ________.
A. very nice to look at B. stronger and more fierce than hawks
C. spending a lot of time worrying about being eaten D. mild in disposition
42. According to the passage, when birds eat in groups, they ________.
A. are less worried B. eat less
C. are more worried D. alter their feeding habits
43. The passage says that ________.
A. many birds don’t like to forage in groups
B. juncos are always ready to attack when they are together
C. juncos foraging individually will spend more time scanning
D. juncos like the food provided by Caraco best
44. Caraco’s Christmas-tree experiment shows that ________.
A. birds are not afraid of trees
B. birds become bolder if there is a hiding-place nearby
C. birds often hide themselves in trees
D. birds are free whether there are trees around or not
45. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Flocking for Safety B. The Story of Juncos
C. Feeding Habits D. The Research on Juncos
Passage Two
On hot, humid days you can hardly wait until you get to an air—conditioned room. Air conditioning is a method of changing the condition of the air from what it is to what it should be in order to improve your comfort and health. The machinery for doing this is complicated, but the principles of air conditioning are simple. A fan draws in the air from outside the building. The air is full of dust which may affect your health. Therefore, it is first forced through fine screens which catch the dust and filter it out of the air. It cools the air to a temperature that may suit you. The air still contains a proportion of moisture. Too much moisture makes you uncomfortable. Too little makes your nose and throat feel dry. The conditioner adjusts the air to the right proportion of moisture, taking out extra moisture or adding some if there is not enough. The air in your room, too, passes again and again through the conditioner, and in a short time the temperature, the amount of moisture and purity are just right.
46. The purpose of air conditioning is __________.
A. to manufacture better air B. to improve the condition of the air
C. to change the air we now have into a new kind of air D. to produce fresh air
47. Conditioning makes air better for us __________.
A. by blowing away the dust B. by treating the dust with some chemicals
C. by cooling the dust D. by removing the dust
48. On warm or hot days the air can be cooled __________.
A. to a desired temperature B. to a freezing temperature
C. to only a few degrees below the outside temperature D. Both A and B
49. The air conditioner__________.
A. removes all the moisture in the air
B. adds moisture to the air
C. maintains the proper proportion of moisture in the air
D. prevents moisture from coming into the room
50 . According to the passage, __________.
A. air conditioning is of great use only in summer.
B. air conditioning is of great help to our comfort.
C. it’s not always easy to achieve the desired level of the moisture in the air
D. it’s the fan in the air-conditioner that is of great importance.
Passage Three
The last few days before Christmas passed quickly and it was soon Christmas Eve. That night when everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn’t sleep. He still couldn’t think of what he wanted his special Christmas present to be. He wondered how Santa would know what to bring him if he didn’t know himself.
As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof and a sound downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and raced down the hall to the stairs hoping to catch a glimpse of the old fellow before Santa departed for his next stop.
“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”
He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of presents to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and mournful eyes. Bunny have mistaken the creative for a dog, if it hadn’t been for the antlers(鹿角) on his head.
“Are you a reindeer?” asked Bunny.
“Yes,” replied the brown creative with antlers, “my name is Ralph.”
“And you were pulling Santa’s sled?”
“I was until I got air-sick,” replied Ralph, “Santa had to leave me here and go on with the other seven reindeer.”
“Isn’t it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get air-sick. I mean, isn’t flying what reindeer are famous for?”
“I’m afraid that I’ve always had a sensitive(敏感的) stomach when it comes to flying,” replied Ralph. “ But everyone expected me to pull Santa’s sled, so when it was my turn I gave it a try. I’m afraid I just wasn’t cut out for the job. Now I’m stuck here and I don’t know how to get back to the North Pole.”
“Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny. As he made the offer, Bunny suddenly realized the special present he wanted from Santa was a new friend!
51. Why couldn’t Bunny fall asleep on Christmas Eve?
A. he was looking forward to seeing his special present.
B. he wanted to take a look at Santa when he came at night.

D. he was thinking what present to ask from Santa.

A. Santa left before he could have a look at him.
B. Santa didn’t bring the special present he wanted.
C. everything was silent and there was no sign of Santa coming.
D. there was a pile of presents under the Christmas tree but nothing for him.
