The natural habitat of this kind of bird lay in the forest of Mauritius.Seed（种子）and fruits that were found in the forest were the main food of the dodo birds. As they could easily get the food they required in the forest, they didn't need to fly. As time went by, they finally lost the ability to fly. It turned out to be a major disadvantage for dodos, as they were left with no ability to protect themselves against human beings' attacks in their natural habitat, which drove this kind of bird to extinction（灭绝）.The extinction of the dodo started in 1505, when Portuguese sailors set their foot on the Island of Mauritius. Before this, the dodo didn't face any danger. People began to hunt them. It was not long before animals, like cats, pigs and monkeys, were also introduced to the island by humans. When ships arrived, the rats on these ships came onto the land. Though these animals were not able to attack huge dodos, it was easy for them to attack dodos' nests on the ground. These animals continued to feed on dodo eggs.The dodo became a relatively（相对地）rare bird in Mauritius at the beginning of the 17thcentury, and became extinct in the end. The last reported sighting of a dodo was in 1681.1. Why did the dodo lose its ability to fly?A. Because it liked walking on the ground.B. Because it had no enemies in the forest.C. Because it was too big to fly.D. Because it didn't need to fly to look for food.2. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A Humans hunted for dodos for money B. Dodos' nesting places were attacked by human beings.C. The dodo became extinct because of human activity.D. Other animals on the island lived mainly on dodos' meat.3. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The extinction of the dodo.B. The appearance of the dodo.C. The actions taken to protect the dodo.D. The punishment for hunting the dodoC15> Have you ever wanted to travel back through time and see what life was like at the beginning of man? Well, museums can make history come alive. And one museum in particular can take you on an exciting journey from the beginning of human culture to the present day.It is the British Museum. Being one of the largest museums in the world, it is home to over 7 million objects from all the world's continents. While most of us may not have the chance to visit London, we can catch a glance of the treasures it holds in Beijing. From December 10 to Februry 10, more than 100 cultural relics will be on show in the Palace Museum. Named Britain and the World"，a range of pencil sketches, watercolor paintings, sculptures and many other objects have traveled to China.There are several Chinese objects on show. But “the British Museum got them before 1830 mainly by trade/9 said Ma Jige, deputy director of the Exhibition Department of the Palace Museum.In fact, there are more than 23,000 Chinese relics in the British Museum, including national treasures like gems, artwork and ancient bronze ware objects.The museum is famous for its exquisite Chinese paintings. Picture of Lady Officials by Gu Kaizhi, a top painter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 317-420), is there. The British Museum also holds 13,700 Buddhist records from the Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province.1.

They found that populations of this dragonfly, called Pantala flavescens, in Texas, eastern Canada, Japan, Korea, India, and South America, have genes so similar that there is only one likely explanation. Obviously these dragonflies are traveling distances that are quite long for their small size, breeding with each other, and creating a common gene pool.But how do dragonflies from different continents manage to meet and breed? Ware says it appears to be the way their bodies have evolved. For example, they increased surface areas on their wings that enable them to use the wind to carry them.Dragonflies, in fact, have already been found crossing the Indian Ocean from Asia to Africa. nThey are following the weather/1 says Daniel Troast. nThey*re going from India where it's dry season to Africa where it's wet season, and they do it once a year.”Wetness is important for Pantala, and that is why they would take such a dangerous trip. Though many will die on the route, as long as enough make it, the species survives. For the moment, the details of this wonderful insect trip are an educated best guess. Much more work is needed to be done. Ware and Troast hope that scientists can work on figuring out those routes.1 . What shows Pantala flavescens are the world's longest-distance flyers?A. Scientists have recorded the dragonfly across the world.B. The same dragonfly was found both in Asia and America.C. There are many Pantala flavescens in different continents.D.

Dragonflies can hardly survive after such a dangerous trip.D. The dragonfly is animal world's best short distance traveler.E17、Every people（民族）uses its own special words to show its ideas and feelings. Some of these expressions are commonly used for many years. Others are popular for just a short time. One such American expression is “Where's the beef?” It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. In the early 1980s “Where's the beef?” was one of the most popular expressions in the United States. It seemed as if everyone was using it at the time.Beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and food is more popular in America than a hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price. Ray called this “McDonald's”. Ray became one of the richest businessmen at last in America.Other business people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company（公司） called “Wendy's" said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald's or anyone else. The Wendy's Company began to use the expression “Where's the beef?” to make people know that Wendy's hamburgers were the biggest. The Wendy's television advertisement（广告）showed three old women eating hamb
