Scientist Ben Novak is working to bring the birds back. Here, he explains to us why we should bring passenger pigeons back from extinct.The passenger pigeon is not the bird that you probably know. Its been gone from the world for100 years. It means that few living people have ever seen one flying in the sky.The passenger pigeon lived differently from other birds in America-in flocks(群) made up millions of birds. They darkened the sky when they flew in the air. One reason to bring passenger pigeons back to life is that it would be wonderful to see a flock that big. It would also be cool to see an extinct animal.But its not just about doing something cool. Huge flocks of passenger pigeons played a key role in shaping forests. The weight of so many birds resting in the trees broke many branches（树枝）. This allowed more sunlight to reach the forest floor, which helped more plants grow.The birds also ate a large number of plants. That influenced which trees grew in the forest. If we bring back the passenger pigeon, it would play an important role in shaping forest once again.44. Scientists Ben Novak is working to_. A . learn more about the forest.

One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States. I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry. In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience. However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didnt want to hear. After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I dont respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I dont show my feelings through words. By Jack26. Jack brought the couple their food very fast because _. A. the manager asked him to do soB. he respected the elderlyC. the couple wanted him to do soD. he wanted more pay27. When Jack called the couple “elderly”, they became _. A. nervous B. satisfied C. unhappy D. excited28. In Jacks hometown, _.

The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple. D. From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture.26. 细节理解B。根据第2段中的I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly可知答案。27. 细节理解C。根据第2段中的As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure可知他们听到Jack称他们为老者时，一点也不高兴。28. 细节理解B。根据第3段中的In my village in China, people are proud of being old可知答案。29. 推理判断D。根据最后一段中的After that, I changed the way I had with older people可知答案。30. 推理判断D。根据第2段最后一句After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry可知A选项不对；根据文章最后一句but now I dont show my feelings through words可知B选项不对；根据第2段中的I then waked back to the table and apologized to the wife 可知C 选项也不对，故正确答案为D。（来自2016中考模拟训练）阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。Linda Evans was my best friendlike the sister I never had.

You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Something shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power. For many centuries, people used windmills to make wheat into flour(面粉) or get water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in faraway areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were hardly used.During the 1970s, people started becoming more cared about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would run out one day. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind1. From the first paragraph, what can we know about wind and windmills?A. Wind is the cleanest, richest and newest power source.B. Windmills were first introduced to Middle East during 1100s.C. Windmills were used in ancient Iran in the 7th Century BC.D.
