16.I work with Volunteers for Wildlife,a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley.Trying to help injured,displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain.However,when it works,it is simply beautiful.
      I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown.She had found a young owl(貓頭鷹) on the ground.When I arrived,I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl.It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
      I examined the chick(雛鳥) and it seemed fine.If I could locate the nest,I might have been able to put it back,but no luck.My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
      The homeowner was very helpful.A wire basket was found.I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable.I placed the chick in the nest,and it quickly calmed down.
      Now all that was needed were the parents,but they were absent.I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks.These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well.I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
      A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all!The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all-LUNCH!The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

24.What is unavoidable in the author's rescue work according ro paragraph 1?A
A.Efforts made in vain.
B.Getting injured in his work.
C.Feeling uncertain about his future.
D.Creatures forced out of their homes.
25.Why was the author called to Muttontown?C
A.To rescue a woman.
B.To take care of a woman.
C.To look at a baby owl.
D.To cure a young owl.
26.What made the chick calm down?A
A.A new nest.
B.Some food.
C.A recording.
D.Its parents.
27.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?B
A.It's unexpected.
B.It's beautiful.
C.It's humorous.
D.It's discouraging.

分析 本文寫了作者做為一名救助野生動物的志愿者,挽救一個貓頭鷹雛鳥的故事.

解答 24.A 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第一段句子Trying to help injured,displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking;試圖幫助受傷、流離失所或生病的動物是令人心碎的.可以推斷出作者搶救工作中不可避免的問題是有時候努力是白費的不起作用的,所以答案選A.
25.C 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段句子 I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown.She had found a young owl(貓頭鷹) on the ground.我收到了來自muttontown女人救援電話.她在地上發(fā)現(xiàn)一個小的貓頭鷹.所以答案選C.
26.A 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)句子 I placed the chick in the nest,and it quickly calmed down.我把雛鳥放在窩里,它很快就安靜下來了.可見是這個窩讓它平靜下來的,所以答案選A.
27.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段第一句A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all.這是一個緊張的夜晚,但有時大自然的靈魂會對我們微笑.可以推斷出作者對于這件事的結(jié)果感覺到是美好的,所以答案選B.

點評 在閱讀時要抓住文章的主題和細節(jié),分析文章結(jié)構(gòu),根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)在聯(lián)系,挖掘文章的深層含義,對于暗含在文章中的人物的行為動機,事件中的因果關系及作者未言明的傾向、意圖、態(tài)度、觀點等要進行合乎邏輯的判斷、推理、分析,進一步增強理解能力,抓住材料實質(zhì)性的東西.

4.Terrafugia Inc.said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight,bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year.The vehicle-named the Transition-has two seats,four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car.The Transition,which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month,can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air.It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air.On the ground,it gets 35 miles per gallon.
      Around 100 people have already put down a﹩10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale,and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show.But don't  expect it to show up in too many driveways.It's expected to cost﹩279,000.And it won't  help if you're stuck in traffic.The car needs a runway.
      Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s,according to Robert Mann,an airline industry expert.But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality.The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly.The Transition  is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.
      Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration's decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft,which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes.Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition,a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.
 
28.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A
A.The basic data of the Transition.
B.The advantages of flying cars.
C.The potential market for flying cars.
C.The designers of the Transition.
29.Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?C
A.It causes traffic jams.
B.It is difficult to operate.
C.It is very expensive.
D.It burns too much fuel.
30.What is the government's attitude to the development of the flying car?B
A.Cautious.
B.Favorable.
C.Ambiguous.
D.Disapproving.
31.What is the best title for the text?D
A.Flying Car at Auto Show          B.The Transition's First Flight
C.Pilots'Dream Coming True         D.Flying Car Closer to Reality.
