D
Do you know a kind of bird called tawny owl? Where does it come from? It comes from Finland (芬蘭). What color is it? It is brown. Are all the tawny owls brown? No. Tawny owls come in two colors: pale gray and brown. And in Finland, it often snowed in winter. Many tawny owls were pale gray. But as the Finnish (芬蘭的)winters get warmer, there are more brown ones. Why is that?
The University of Helsinki team tries to study tawny owls. They find that tawny owls get the color from their parents. The gray owls could get food easily in the snow in the past. But now the winter is warmer. There is little snow so the brown owls can live well, too. The number of the owls is getting bigger.
The leader of the team, Dr Patrick Karell, said that the birds change their color to meet the weather. We are sure the weather change can do something to the animals.
（1）Tawny owls come in two colors: .
A.pale gray and black
B.pale gray and brown
C.blue and brown
D.yellow and brown
（2）What was the weather like in Finland in the past?
A.It was warm.

A.The tawny owl comes from Finland.
B.In Finland, it was cold in winter.

【答案】
（1）B
（2）C
（3）B
（4）D
【解析】短文大意：你認(rèn)識(shí)一種叫灰林鸮的鳥嗎？它來(lái)自芬蘭，有灰白和褐色兩種顏色。
（1）根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容 Tawny owls come in two colors: pale gray and brown.可知灰林鸮有灰白和褐色兩種顏色的，故選B。
（2）根據(jù)文章第一段內(nèi)容 And in Finland, it often snowed in winter. 可知芬蘭經(jīng)常下雪，故選C。

【題目】根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案。
(A)
People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual(個(gè)體的): they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most house have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private(私人的) space of the individual.
People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? Have you marked the space around yourself as yours? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.
Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man on the space on my side of the table didn't notice me at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出) out of his head. I had invaded(侵犯) his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!
If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don't have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long, you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and "outside". Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don't know about. And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you. Haven't you enjoyed being part of a group and "owning" a bit of space?
（1）The writer was angry as he was travelling on a train to London because .
A.he had no place to sit
B.someone had invaded his "space'
C.too many people shared a section with him
D.some other people talked about things he didn't know about
（2）"……you feel lonely and 'outside"' in paragraph 4 means that .
A.you are alone outside the house
B.you feel lonely because you travel on your own
C.you are alone and therefore you go outside to have some fun
D.you feel lonely and you don't belong to that place or that group of people
（3）In Paragraph 4, the pronoun "them" refers to(所指) "".
A.public spaces
B.private spaces
C.local people
D.other countries
（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.British people dislike marking their space.
B.You always feel at home in another country.
C.Most British people prefer living in houses to fiats.
D.You can't mark your private space in a foreign country.
（5）The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers to .
A.own private spaces by living in houses
B.have one corner of their own in public places
C.realize the importance of "space" in communication
D.create their private spaces by talking with local people

【題目】In the past, many people depended on horses for transportation(運(yùn)輸), farming and other kinds of work. Nowadays a lot of people still like to ride horses. So it is not surprising that many expressions about it are still used by Americans today.

Long ago, people who were rich or important rode horses that were very tall. Today, if a girl is too proud and looks down upon others, you might say she should "get off her high horse."

Last night, I got a telephone call while I was watching my favorite television show. I decided not to answer it because "wild horses could not drag me away" from the television -- there was nothing that could stop me from doing what I wanted to do.

Sometimes you get information "straight from the horse's mouth." It comes directly from the person who knows most about the subject and is the best source. Let us say your teacher tells you there is going to be a test tomorrow. You could say you got the information "straight from the horse's mouth." However, you would not want to call your teacher a horse!

You may have heard this expression: "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink." That means you can give someone advice but you cannot force him to do something he does not want to do.

In politics, a "dark-horse candidate" is someone who is not well known to the public. Sometimes, a dark horse unexpectedly wins an election(選舉).

Another piece of advice is "do not change horses in midstream." You would not want to get off one horse and on to another in the middle of a river. Or make major changes in an activity that has already begun.

A young man traveled by train. As it was running across a wild land, the passengers looked out of windows without aims.

When the train came near a turning, it slowed down and then a simple house came into view. It was the only house the passengers saw on such a long journey. Everybody on the train admired it with eyes wide open. Some passengers even began a discussion about it.

The young man was also impressed by the scene. On his return, he got off the train at the nearest station from the house and found his way there. Its owner told him he was troubled by the noise of the train and that he wanted to sell the house but nobody would buy it.

Soon the young man paid 30,000 dollars for the house, thinking it a wonderful place for advertisement. It faced the railway turning, where the train had to slow down and the bored passengers would cast their eyes at the house to refresh their minds.

The young man tried to contact big companies and make them realize the place was the perfect for advertisement. Finally the Coca-Cola Company put up an advertisement on the house. The young man got 180,000 dollars for three year’s rent.
