For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs.The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan （曼哈顿）.Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information about the feasibility of a manned flying saucer （飞碟）landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.“We have come to the conclusion, based on last week's satellite landing J Professor Zog said, "that there is no life on Earth.”“How do you know this?” the science reporter of the Venus Evening News asked.“For one thing, Earth's surface in the area of Manhattan consists of solid concrete。昆泥土）and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive.”“Are there any other sources of danger that you have discovered in your studies?”“Take a look at this photo. You see this dark black cloud staying over the surface of Earth? We don't know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have to make further tests before we send a Venus Being there. Over here you will notice what seems to be a river, but the satellite findings indicates it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink.”“Sir, what are all those tiny black spots on the photographs?“We're not certain. They seem to be metal objects that moves along certain roads. They give out gases, make noise and keep crashing into each other.”"Professor Zog, why are we spending billions and billions of Zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth when there is no life there?,"Because if we Venusians can learn to breathe in the Earth atmosphere, then we can live anywhere.24.

That means these birds steal food from other birds and get away with it. About two percent of the world's birds steal food from other birds. That's 197 out of 9,672 known bird species that have been seen stealing food from other bird species. Scientists have long wondered what these families of birds have in common.To learn more about what makes some birds live a life of crime and how they steal food from other birds, scientists from the University of Quebec at Montreal studied 856 published reports of theft by one bird from another. Researcher Julie said she started the project after accidentally seeing birds steal dry dog food out of unattended bowls. She read about some surprising examples of theft, including birds that steal food from others flying in the sky. She learned that members of some birds will help disturb other birds until they let food in their mouth go.Researchers found some patterns among the birds they studied. For one thing, bird families that often steal are likely to live in open environments such as ocean shores. There, they can easily see other birds. They also prefer to eat fish and mice instead of just insects. These meatier meals are hard to catch, and they have much valuable energy, so they are more likely to steal.Finally, birds that steal often have big brains in relation to their bodies. That may seem surprising, since humans bullies （恃强凌弱者）are often thought to be stronger in size.But for birds, stealing isn't about strength. It takes a clever brain to get food out of another hungry bird's mouth, especially if that bird is bigger than you are. In other words, birds that steal might need some respect. 27. When did Julie start her research on birds?A. After entering the university.B. After losing her dry dog food.C. After seeing a theft by chance.D. After collecting some information.28. What do we know about the bird families that often steal?A. They eat fish and mice rather than insects.B. They usually have great teamwork.C. They are as strong as human bullies.D. They like to live in groups.29. What is important for some birds stealing food?A. A clever brain.B. Abig mouth.C. A strong body.D. A quiet environment.30. What can be the best title for the text?A. Brains of birds.B. Feathered thieves.C. Diet habits of birds.D. Hunting skills of birds.第二节：（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的 最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Overcome ShynessHave you ever found it embarrassing （尴尬的）to talk in front of the public?
