puzzled over this question for many years.Now theyre beginning to fill in the blanks.Not long ago,experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours.But what about birds that fly mainly by night?Tests with artificial stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.One such bird,a warbler(鸣禽),had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky.Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance.The birds cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time.The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins.Any change in the direction of the make-be-live stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.Scientists think that warblers,when flying in daylight,use the sun for guidance.But the stars are apparently their main means of navigation(导航).What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds?Apparently,they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges,coast lines,and river courses.But when its too dark to see these,the warblers circle helplessly,unable to get their direction.56.The reasons why birds dont get lost on migratory flights .A.have been known to scientists for many years B.are known by everyone C.have only recently been discovered D.will probably remain a mystery 57.The bird mentioned in this article .A.was caught and put in a cage by scientists B.was tamed（驯服）and tested by scientists C.had never flown under a natural sky D.was a bird that can speak 58.Warblers migrate .A.from North America to South America B.using what is apparently an inborn navigational ability 高一英语上学期期末测试题（含答案）第 5 页 共 9 页 C.only once during their lifetime D.when they are freed from their cages 59.When the stars are hidden by clouds,warblers find their way by .A.an artificial star B.some landmarks C.their inborn ability D.A and B 60.This article is a good example of the way scientists .A.discover workable answers to universal questions by studying particular cases(特别案例)B.jump to conclusions C.find a law and then investigate（调查）D.are disappointed by the habits of animals B In an age when technology moves faster than most can keep up with,a small group of people still remain in the time of old-fashioned letter.Frankly speaking,I was once certain that traditional letters could never be replaced by other means of communication.But a story about online communication changed my mind.An old man,who suffered a lot from Parkinsons disease,was not able to talk clearly and could hardly write his name.Living totally alone,he managed to keep in touch with nearly all the members of his family.How did he achieve this?He clicked out words on his computer keyboard.I,therefore,managed to get an E-mail box as soon as the chance came.My life changed.E-mail,and all online communication,is something truly different.It has abilities that few other products can match.E-mail is convenient.It takes less time with its fast speed and 24-hour connection.The slow postal service is no match.If you wouldnt want to have a face-to-face talk with your manager,you might talk with him through E-mail even if you are in the same office.Naming all the good things about online communication is not easy.But wait.E-mail can be inconvenient.It can waste time and energy.Just think what may happen when you take a short vacation and return to find your e-mail box filled with 200 unread messages.You could easily spend half a day clearing junk ads.Then,online communication will keep us staying at our computer while it connects us to distant strangers.Once we throw ourselves into the machine,we may forget the human touches we once held so dear.Im sure there is and always will be a place for the old-fashioned letter,phone call,and face-to-face meeting even in the world of modern communication.As I listen to the sound of the modem(调制解调器),I was excited at stepping out to the outside world but,at the same time,I sensed a loss of control over something valuable in my personal life.61.What is the most probable meaning of the underlined word“junk”in paragraph7?A.New and useful B.old and useless C.Short but valuable D.Long but clear 62.What caused the writer to become interested in E-mail and online communication?A.His own illness.B.The sound of the modem.C.A sick old mans experience.D.The changing of his life.63.What does the writer think of online communication?A.It should replace old-fashioned letters completely.B.It is perfect and always does good to you.C.It is extremely useful and convenient,but it may be inconvenient or even harmful.D.It does more harm than good.64.According to the writer,traditional means of communication will never disappear because _.A.they help to keep the friendly relationship between people B.they are convenient and popular though they are slow C.most people cannot keep up with the development of technology D.modern means of communication does too much harm 65.How did the sick old man keep in touch with his family members?A.By visiting them regularly.B.By writing letters with his pen.C.By making telephone calls.D.With the help of his computer.C Recently,a scientist did some experimentsHe left a group of 4-year-olds in a room with a 高一英语上学期期末测试题（含答案）第 6 页 共 9 页 bell and a candyIf they rang the bell,he would come back and they could eat the candyIf,however,they didnt ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own,they could then have two candies.In videos of the experiment,he can see the children kicking,hiding their eyes-trying to exercise self-control so they can wait and get two candiesThe results are differentSome broke down and rang the bell within a minuteOthers lasted 15 minutes.The children who waited longer went on to get higher SAT scoresThey got into better colleges and had better adult successThe children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to have received worse teacher and parental evaluations（评价）10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.The experiments are worth noting because people spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve education,how to become richBut when the result is not good,they will come back to ask how do we get people to get the sort of self-control that leads to success?This is to enter the world of human nature.So these experiments along with everyday experience,tell us that self-control is most importantYoung people who can sit through sometimes boring classes to get a degree can work hard in order to learn a language wellThey can avoid drugs and alcoholFor people without self-control skills,however,school is a series of failed ordeals（煎熬）No wonder they drop out and their later life is a group of foolish ideas,such as drug use,stealing and so on.66The scientist did some experiments to .Atest childrens self control and later success Btest childrens intelligence of ringing the bell Cfind good ways of training children to learn Dprove that childrens education is important 67We can learn from the experiment that Aall children tried to ring the bell for more candies Bsome children didn
