Passenger pigeons（旅鸽）once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks（群）so large that they darkened the sky for hours.

It was calculated that when its population reach its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons – a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant birds in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.

Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.

By the closing decades of the 19

th

century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons

’ need for wood, which scattered（驱散）the flocks and

nested had been damaged by Americans

forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.

In 17, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden in September 1, 1914.

Nearly five years before, and with the help by our father, my sister and I planted some cherry tomatoes(圣女果)in our back garden. Since then- for all these year- we

had been allowing tomatoes to self-seed where they please. As result, the plants are growing somewhere. The fruits are small in size, but juicy and taste. There are so much that we often share them with our neighbors. Although we allow tomato plants to grow in the same place year after year, but we have never had any disease or insect attack problems. We are growing wonderfully tomatoes at no cost!

28【答案】B 【试题解析】Close: midnight Sun.-Thurs. 3a.m.Fri-Sat.nights 29【答案】B 【试题解析】推理题。根据Metrobus部分When paying with exact change, the fare is $ 1.35 . when paying with a smatTrip CARD the fare is $1.25，可知使用smatTrip CARD支付，会比直接付钱省了$0.1，所以它对于用户来说是可以省钱的。故B正确。

语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者在等红灯时见到了四位穿着皮夹克、骑自行车的年轻人，他们看起来粗鲁而危险，然而他们正在为贫困儿童募捐，他们的目光充满善良和友好。此事让作者意识到，不能以貌取人，而应要看他人的行动。

32．选B推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句可知，作者想要告诉人们不要以貌取人，行动更重要。故答案选B。

33．选A

细节理解题。根据第一段第四句可知，歌曲间歇插播的新闻使作者没了好心

情。故答案选A。

34．选C

细节理解题。根据第二段中的“We are collecting money for Christmas Toy Drive

C。

for needy children.可知，他们是在为贫困儿童募捐。故答案选”

35．选B

词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词的上下文内容可知，作者起初对这四个人印

象不好，因为他们看起来很粗鲁，并且很危险。但在得知他们真正的目的后，作者的看法改变了。作者对人性的认识得到了提升，明白了“不能以貌取人”的道理。因此bolster应与improve意思相近。故答案选B。36-40 DAFGC 【答案】BCCAD
