Experts believe that storms and severe weather in North America and Asia have disrupted bird flight paths across the world and swept huge numbers of bird species towards the British Isles.
Birds flying to the other side of the Atlantic or to the Pacific to lay their eggs have been trapped in Britain and Ireland, adding their numbers to native species, and causing great excitement in the bird-watching community.
Local birdwatchers have already observed a total of 442 species in the British Isles this year. The highest number ever seen in one year is 445, in 2008.
“We only need four more to break our record,” said Lee Evans, who runs the British Birding Association. “With three months to go, I’m sure we’ll do it.”
Last month an extremely rare Siberian Rubythroat bird was seen in Scotland, sending hundreds of birdwatchers north in the hope of catching a glimpse of this colourful Asian beauty. Another very uncommon bird, the bufflehead duck was cited in Cornwell and caused similar excitement. “I couldn’t believe it,” said Evans. “The poor thing was completely knackered. It must have been blown to England by the storms while trying to fly from Canada to the southern United States for the winter. That’s 3000 miles!”
Evans said that global warming over the past decade was playing a key role in transforming bird movements across the world. In addition, melting Arctic sea ice may also be opening up bird flight paths over the North Pole, making it easier for birds from the Pacific—such as the slaty-backed gull and tufted puffin, both of which appeared in London earlier this year—to reach Britain.
Bird-watching is becoming an increasingly popular hobby among all age groups, added Evans. “A fifth of our members are under 18. This is a round-the-year hobby that you can enjoy from the kitchen window or from a car. More and more people are bird-watching, and as a result, more and more unexpected species are being spotted in the British Isles.”
45. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The results of global warming.
B. Changes in the British bird population.
C. Increasing environmental pollution.
D. Worsening British weather.
46. The underlined word “knackered” is closest in meaning to ________.
A. bored B. knocked C. spotted D. tired
47. According to the passage, which of the following birds comes from Asia?
A. Slaty-backed gull. B. Bufflehead. C. Rubythroat. D. Tufted puffin.
48. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible reason for seeing more bird species in Britain?
A. An increase in the number of birdwatchers.
B. A growth in the number of native species.
C. Storms due to global warming.
D. The melting Arctic ice cap.

South African surgeons have carried out the world’s first organ transplant(移植) from one HIV-positive person to another, in a groundbreaking operation that opens the way to saving thousands of lives. The South African government previously hadn’t allowed HIV-positive people to receive transplants or to donate organs—a policy criticized by some people in the medical establishment of a country where one in five adults is HIV-positive.
But the policy was ended last year, opening the way for more operations, and possibly giving HIV-positive patients a greater chance of receiving new kidneys(肾脏) than those not infected（感染） with the Aids virus, because there are more potential donors. "HIV patients are at a disadvantage when it comes to getting an organ and dialysis（透析）. Even when we try to be fair, they are at a disadvantage competing with people with no chronic illness," she said. "This study opens up an opportunity to help them, even gives them a slight advantage, because of the high number of HIV-positive donors."
According to Miller, if the kidney transplants were successful in the long term it would open the way to the use of other organs such as livers, which are particularly vulnerable because anti- AIDS drugs can easily damage them.
However, the transplants remain controversial(有争议的) because they almost certainly mean that the recipient(接受者) will become infected with the virus strain that infected the donor, which may be different from the one they carry and increase their resistance（抵抗） to anti-Aids drugs.
There are also concerns that HIV-positive organs could themselves have been damaged by the disease, making them less lasting as transplants.
But news of the transplants has brought new hope to many. Dr June Fabian, a consultant nephrologist at Johannesburg hospital, said some of her HIV-positive patients stood to benefit from accepting HIV-positive organs.
49. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The disadvantaged HIV-positive patients in South Africa.
B. The world’s concern for patients with AIDS in South Africa.
C. The world’s first heart transplant in South African.
D. The world’s first kidney transplant between HIV-positive patients.
50. From Paragraph 2 and 3 we learn that .
A. research on AIDS treatments is making progress in South Africa
B.HIV-positive patients are ignored in South Africa by the government
C. the status of HIV – positive patients in South Africa is better now
D.HIV – positive organ transplants a
