并在答题卷上将该项涂黑 A Have you ever wondered why birds sing Maybe you thought that they were just happy After all you probably sing or whistle 口哨 when you are happy Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy However they sing most of the time for a very different reason Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory Do you know what a territory is A territory is an area that an animal usually the male claims 声称 as its own Only he and his family are welcome there No other families of the same species are welcome Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you you might shout 南充高中 2015 年面向省内外自主招生考试英语试题 第 4 页 共 8 页 Probably this would be enough to frighten him away If so you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him A bird does the same thing But he expects an outsider almost any time especially at nesting 筑巢 season So he is screaming all the time whether he can see an outsider or not This screaming is what we call a bird s song and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs You can see that birds have a language of their own Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories 41 Some scientists believe that most of the time birds singing is actually A an expression of happiness B a way of warning C an expression of anger D a way of greeting 42 What is a bird s territory A A place where families of other species are not accepted B A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice C An area for which birds fight

away C they want to find outsiders around D their singing helps get rid of their fears 44 How does the writer explain birds singing A By comparing birds with human beings B By reporting experiment results C By describing birds daily life D By telling a bird s story B Samuel looked at his sister Emily and said I wouldn t have thought Everett would be a thief Emily replied Whoa we don t know that

see At the end of that day Samuel s mother asked him to take a note to Mr Bates down the street so he asked his friend Is it okay if I leave you for a few minutes Everett had said Go ahead I ll clean up here pointing at the piles of coins on the floor When Samuel had returned he had done his homework had eaten dinner and had read for a while before bed It was not until two days later that he realized the quarters were gone Emily said Why don t you just ask him Ask him what Hey Best Friend did you steal my coin collection Samuel thought for a moment deciding if that would be a good idea The theft of his collection left him with a feeling of betrayal 背叛 How could I have misjudged my friend The next day Samuel went over to Everett s house Everett was acting funny In fact 南充高中 2015 年面向省内外自主招生考试英语试题 第 5 页 共 8 页 Samuel thought Everett was acting like someone with a secret Suddenly Everett cried I can t stand it anymore and pulled something from underneath the chair Go on open it I was going to wait until your birthday tomorrow but I can t wait Slowly Samuel lifted the top of the box Laid out in front of him were all of the quarters from his coin collection Each quarter was in its own place in a new collection case Each quarter shone like it was new Samuel felt heat rush over his neck and ears He weakly said Thank you this means a great deal to me He was thankful that

around my home My mum warned me several times never to travel so far that I would lose sight of the house Being a typical boy however I soon found myself hiking further and further away testing just how far I could go into the woods without getting lost After losing my way once for two hours though I decided that I had better leave a trail the next time I went for a walk The very next day I decided to try it I walked into the woods until the house was out of sight Then I broke a small branch on a young tree to mark my place I wandered further in and broke another limb 树枝 and then another In a few spots where there were no limbs small enough I snapped the heads off the low plants that were growing where the sunlight broke through the trees After a while I finally got tired and decided to head back Turning around I easily found my tracks but instead of being proud I felt sad I could see the trail of destruction I had left in the woods going on and on Looking at the broken limbs and dead flowers I wondered if God was disappointed in me and I vowed 发誓 never to do that again Instead I started to cherish my times alone in the woods with nature I d sit by the streams and listen to 南充高中 2015 年面向省内外自主招生考试英语试题 第 6 页 共 8 页 them sing I d watch the birds and squirrels I d bend down to smell the flowers And I even buried an acorn or two hoping that one day an oak tree might grow There is an old Native American Saying that goes We will be known forever by the tracks we leave As I have grown older and wiser I have done my best to never leave a trail of destruction in my life as I did in the woods that day I have instead tried to leave tracks of love kindness goodness and compassion and I have tried to show others that they can do the same May you always leave tracks of joy as you follow your own trail of love 49 When the boy headed back from the woods he felt sad because A he lost his way in the woods B he could find his tracks so easily C he left many trails of destruction D

savings borrowed from relatives and from a bank The store nearly broke even in its first year with only 120 000 in sales But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers The shop had a
