A

Birds are amazing animals，and their most amazing skill their sense of direction(方向)．Some migrate(迁徙)from far away places．They know exactly where to fly，without a compass!

Migrating birds often fly thousands of kilometers．They find their way back to the same place year after year．Even young birds seem to know which way to go．

In Europe，you may see big groups of swallows sitting on telephone wires．As the weather gets colder in autumn，they get ready to fly away to warmer countries．These birds fly south to

Africa for the winter．They will return north to’Europe to breed(繁殖)next summer．

Birds have many ways to prepare for their migration journey．The little sedge warbler doubles its weight by eating lots of insects just before it leaves Europe．It flies for 9，000 km．It

travels without stopping for four days to spend the winter in South Africa．

Bar-headed geese breed in Tibet．They then fly over the Himalayas to India．They have to fly at a height of over 6，000 m to get over the huge mountains．Other birds，such as cranes，also

fly high over mountains．

1．The underlined word“compass”means“a tool for finding_________”

A．numbers     B．directions      C．prices       D．heights

Equipped only with a pair of binoculars （双筒望远镜）and ready to spend long hours waiting in all weathers for a precious glance of a rare bullfinch （红腹灰雀），Britain’s birdwatchers had long been supposed to be lovers of a minority sport．But new figures show birdwatching is fast becoming a popular pastime，with almost three million of us absorbed in our fluttering feathered friends．

Devoted birdwatchers，those prepared to travel thousands of miles for a sighting of a rare Siberian bird，are fast being joined by a new breed of follower whose interest is satiated  by watching a few finches （雀科鸣鸟） on a Sunday walk or putting up a bird﹣box in the back garden．

“Almost three million UK birdwatchers is certainly possible if you include everyone with only a casual interest，”Stephen Moss said in his newly published book﹣﹣A Bird in the Bush：a Social History of Bird watching﹣﹣which records the pursuit from the rich Victorian Englishman’s love of shooting rare birds to the less offensive observational tendencies of birdwatchers today．

Television wildlife programmes have helped to fuel the new trend．Last summer，BBC 2’s Britain Goes Wild was a surprise success．It pulled in three million viewers and led to bird﹣houses selling out across the UK as 45，000 people promised to put up a box．

Birdwatchers’networking system first came to the attention of the nation in l989，when a birdwatcher caught sight of the first Vermivora chrysoptera﹣a golden﹣winged songbird from North America﹣to be seen in Britain．He put a message out on the network service Birdline，and the next day 3，000 birdwatchers proved the full pull of a truly rare bird as they visited the Tesco car park in Kent，where it had settled．Today，birdwatchers can log on to www．birdline．co．uk or have news of the latest sightings texted to their phones．

“Multimillion﹣pound spending on binoculars，bird food and boxes point to the increasing numbers of birdwatchers，”said David Cromack，the editor of Bird Watching magazine．”The number of people involved is so big that they have great potential to influence government decisions affecting the environment．”

6．The word”satiated”in paragraph 2 can best be replaced by”_________”．

A．affected          B．shared          C．satisfied         D．narrowed

7．What happened after the message of seeing a Vermivora chrysoptera was put on the network？

A．Birdwatchers helped the rare bird settle in Kent．

B．Large numbers of birdwatchers went to view the bird．

C．Many birdwatchers logged on to the website for details．

D．Birdwatchers showed their determination to protect the rare bird．

8．Which of the following CANNOT be true according to the passage？

A．Television wildlife programmes started the popular pastime of birdwatching．

B．The network service has contributed to the rapid development of birdwatching．

C．Birdwatching in Britain was long considered a sport with a small group of followers．

D．The current situation of birdwatching may promote the protection of the environment．

9．The passage mainly tells us about_________in UK．

A．the history of birdwatching

B．a growing passion for birdwatching

C．the impact of media on birdwatching

D．birdwatching as a popular expensive sport．

Would your pizza have a different taste if it is prepared by a robot(机器人)?

This is a question people are asking as some Americans test food-preparation robots． A start-up company in the US, called Zume, is testing machines that make pizza． The pizza comes out the same each time． Zume says the robots work quickly and do not get sick． The robots do not get paid, either． Julia Collins is the company’s CEO． Her company can spend money on better food because it does not have to pay the robots．

The important question for the company’s success(成功)is: How does the pizza taste? Charity Suzuki has bought the robot-made pizza． She likes its taste． “It’s delicious． It’s always hot and fresh when it comes． I think it’s great that they are making it．”

The companies say they are developing robots so people can get better food faster． But what about the jobs the robots are taking from humans?

Alex Garden is the chairman of Zume． He thinks there will be more interesting work for humans to do when the robots start doing some of the smaller jobs．

1． How does the robot-made pizza taste?

2． Why can Julia Collins’s company spend money on better food?
