【題目】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.

【1】What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?

A. Effortsmadeinvain.

B. Gettinginjuredinhiswork.

C. Feelinguncertainabouthisfuture.

D. Creaturesforcedoutoftheirhomes.

【2】WhywastheauthorcalledtoMuttontown?

D. Tocureayoungowl.

【3】Whatmadethechickcalmdown?

D. Itsparents.

【4】Howwouldtheauthorfeelabouttheoutcomeoftheevent?

B. It’sbeautiful.

C. It’shumorous.

D. It’sdiscouraging.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】A

【4】B

【解析】本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了救助小動(dòng)物并沒(méi)有那么簡(jiǎn)單，因?yàn)槟闼龅木戎袨榈阶詈罂赡芏汲闪藷o(wú)用功。但無(wú)論結(jié)果怎樣，救助小動(dòng)物的這種行為是美好的。本文主要介紹了作者救助一只小貓頭鷹，給它做新的窩，幫助它回到父母身邊的故事。

【1】A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain.可知，救助受傷動(dòng)物是令人心碎的，因?yàn)椴恢谰戎膭?dòng)物是否能活下去，也就是為救助動(dòng)物而花費(fèi)的努力可能會(huì)白費(fèi)，這是不可避免的。故選A。

【2】C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段中的She had found a young owl(貓頭鷹) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl可知，有人給作者打電話是因?yàn)橛兄恍∝堫^鷹掉在地上了，作者趕過(guò)去看看情況。文中并沒(méi)有說(shuō)小貓頭鷹受傷了，作者只是過(guò)去看情況，所以D選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。故選C。

【3】A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段中的I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down可知，在作者把小貓頭鷹放在窩里之后，它很快就安靜下來(lái)，所以是窩讓小貓頭鷹安靜下來(lái)的。故選A。

【4】B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)前文描述可知作者為小貓頭鷹做了窩，并且?guī)椭一亓怂母改�。小貓頭鷹的父母還為它帶回了午餐。作者的救助成功了，說(shuō)明結(jié)局是美好的。再結(jié)合第一段的However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.可推測(cè)，作者感覺(jué)很美好。故選B。

Different background shouldn’t mean less education.

Paul passed and went to a “grammar school”. Baz failed the examination and went to a “secondary modern school”. They did not see each other again for years.

Many grammar schools 【2】(establish) hundreds of years ago to teach the Latin language to children who were not from rich families.

Things have changed. In the 1960s and the 1970s “comprehensive schools” were created. Today, 90 percent children aged 11 to 16 from the same area to the same school without 【5】(take) any entry examination.

The British often disagrees about the best way 【6】(educate) their children.

And Paul and Baz? Aged 60, they met again and compared 【10】had happened to them. After university, Paul qualified as a teacher. Baz went to work in a factory at 16 and later became an engineer. In fact, Baz had a much higher salary than Paul--so perhaps life is fair after all.

【題目】 A high school student has a science test on Monday but spends most of the weekend playing video games and does not start studying until late Sunday night. This kind of avoiding or delaying of work that needs to be done is called procrastination(拖沓). It has been said that up to 95% of people procrastinate at least sometimes, and about 20% of them do it too much. 【1】

The first factor is how pleasant or unpleasant people find a task. Research shows that people put off tasks they find unpleasant. Someone who loves bicycles might not delay fixing a tire, while someone who does not may put it off.

【2】 For example, those who have low expectations of success are more likely to delay starting a job. On the other hand, those who believe they can perform well take on challenging tasks rather than avoid them.

【3】 Studying hard in high school might not give high school students any immediate rewards; what they learn might not seem useful to the present. Sometimes. it is hard to see the benefit of making an effort when the reward is too far away. 【4】

Lastly, another factor is whether or not people can use self-control. Those who have less self-control can easily be drawn away from their work. Interestingly, age is said to be associated with self-control. 【5】

If procrastination is a problem for you, the first step to reducing it is identifying the reasons behind it. It is only by understanding the roots of your problem that you can choose the appropriate method for yourself.

A. Besides, there is a link between procrastination and how long people must wait before they see the reward for an effort.

B. Research shows that the older people become, the less likely they are to delay doing their work until the last minute.

C. In addition, the amount of confidence they have in their ability to do a task is also related to procrastination.

D. As it is common to most people, how to avoid procrastination has become a major concern.

E. What's more, it has been argued that too much confidence can also lead to procrastination.

F. Although researchers do not agree on all the reasons behind procrastination, there is general agreement about some factors that can explain it.

G. This can explain why many people do not start saving money for their old age when they are young.
