听力原文:M: So Rebecca, what did you do for spring break?
W: I went to southern California. I was in Los Angeles and San Diego. Oh, and I stopped in San Juan Capistrano. That's south of Los Angeles and north of San Diego. I happened to be there just about the time the swallows returned.
M: Oh, I've heard about that—they always return on the same day, don't they?
W: That's right, on March 19th. And they always fly away on the same day, October 23rd. In the meantime, they migrate over 7,000 miles to get to their winter home.
M: Seven thousand miles—imagine! And always coming back on the same day!
W: Yes, except for one year, a long time ago-they were delayed for a day by a storm at sea.
M: You sure were lucky to be there on the one day of the year when the swallows return.
W: Well, I wasn't there exactly on that day. I got to town a couple of days latex—but I did see the parade celebrating the swallows' return.
M: They have a parade? The people there must really like those swallows.
W: Sure—they bring lots of tourists to town, and besides, the swallows eat insects, including mosquitoes.
Where is the town of San Juan Capistrano?
A.North of Los Angeles.
B.Between Los Angeles and San Diego.
C.East of San Diego.
D.Los Angeles.

F: Oh, it's a pleasant little town. Once there was a famous mission church there.
M: Once? What happened to it?
F: It was destroyed by an earthquake almost two hundred years ago. But there is an old adobe church that survived. The swallows build their nests in the walls and towers of that church.

In November 2007—after the sale of nearly 1.4 million iPhones—Time magazine named the sleek, 4.8-ounce device, originally available in a 4GB, $499 model and an 8GB, $599 model, its invention of the year. The iPhone went on sale in parts of Europe in late 2007 and in parts of Asia in 2008. In July 2008, Apple launched its online App Store, enabling people to download software applications that let them use their iPhones for games, social networking, travel planning and an ever growing laundry list of other activities. Apple went on to release updated models of the iPhone, including the 4S, which debuted in October 2011 and featured Siri, a new voice-activated digital assistant. We can conclude from the information in the passage that
A、each generation of the iPhone has been better than the last.
B、Siri was released after the App Store was launched.
C、the App Store is older than the iPhone.
D、the iPhone is more popular in Europe than in Asia.
Mr Greenspan said that even after the recovery on Wall Street, many investors were less wealthy than they had been a week ago. But it was a salutary event. The head of the US Central Bank implied that there had been an excessive optimism about the future of share prices and the recent decline might cool things down. If it hadn't been in Southeast Asia, something else would eventually have brought about this week's events. Mr Greenspan traced the origins of the Asian crisis in some details. There'd been an explosion in the flow of money into the region and this has helped fuel unsustainable property boom. Bank borrowed abroad and lent too much to the construction industry. When the project went sour, they had to meet their foreign currency borrowings with their own currencies devalued.
The recent fluctuation of the stock market in New York was due to
A.Greenspan's remarks.
B.the slack US business.
C.the excessive optimism.
D.the weakened US economy.

Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modern birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to return to the tropics.
A more recent theory, known as photoperiodism, suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands in the birds' bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by exposing birds to artificial periods of daylight. He has concluded that changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight.
According to one theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds ______. ()
A.stopped migrating
B.continued migrating
C.began migrating again
D.migrated south and stay there
A.stopped migrating
B.continued migrating
C.began migrating again
