听力原文：An "early bird" used to be a person who was awake early and began his（or her) day

听力原文： An "early bird" used to be a person who was awake early and began his(or her) day's work before other people. The people, who said it, were thinking of an old saying: It is the early bird that catches the worm. But since 1965 the Early Bird has had a different meaning. The modem Early Bird is a communications satellite in orbit round the earth.

The use of wires to carry telephone communications and for other purposes of the same kind does not satisfy modem needs. We had to use radio. But the radio waves that we use for these purposes--microwaves--travel in straight lines. They do not follow the curve of the earth's surface. We can send them from one radio station to another—a relay station--where we amplify them and send them do a third station. If there is no relay station within about 50 kilometers to receive the microwaves, they will continue into space. At a certain height, some of them are sent back to earth. A powerful station several hundred kilometers from their starting point can receive them. But these are not good ways of sending the thousands of telephone, radio and television signals across the oceans.

A．A person who is awake early.

B．A bird that catches the worm early in the morning.

C．A plane which flies in the morning.

D．A communications satellite in orbit round the earth.

听力原文： Many egg-laying animals merely lay their eggs and leave. Turtles, for instance, and horseshoe crabs, the eggs hatched and the little ones are their own. The current theory about birds is the earliest birds did just that when they were cold-blooded creatures living in warm places. However, when they became warm-blooded creatures living in cold places, they had to remain on the eggs to keep them warm. For this, they needed a place--a nest. Very likely, the first nest was just a primitive hole scraped in the ground. Even now many species still lay eggs in this sort of crude nest. Primitive nests found on the ground were fine for some birds, but others began to elevate their nests in branches, perhaps to avoid predators. These early elevated nests were probably loose platforms of sticks and dried leaves. The type is still built by some birds today. The latest development in nest, the most recent vision, so to speak, is the cup-shaped nest. This is the one we regard today as the typical bird's nest, you know, like a robin's nest.

A．Their flying ability improved greatly.

B．They became warm-blooded.

C．They began to lay eggs.

听力原文： Many egglaying animals merely lay their eggs and leave. With turtles for instance, the eggs hatch on their own. The current theory about birds is that the earliest birds did just that, when they were coldblooded creatures living in warm places. However when they became warmblooded creatures living in cold places they had to remain on top of the eggs to keep them warm. This process we call incubation. For this they needed a place, a nest very likely the first nests were just primitive depressions scraped into the ground. Even now many species still lay eggs in this sort of crude nest. In fact, every spring a mother killdeer lays her eggs in scene pebbles along the edged the parking lot just outside this building. Primitive nests on the ground were fine for some birds but others began to elevate their nests onto Branches, perhaps to avoid predators. These early elevated nests were probably loose platforms of sticks and twigs, the types still built by ospreys and mostarians today. The latest evolutionary development in nests the most re cent version, so to speak, is the cupshaped nest. This is the one we regard today as the typical bird's nest, you know, like a robin's nest.

听力原文：The European cuckoo is notorious for its odd way of raising its young. The parent

听力原文： The European cuckoo is notorious for its odd way of raising its young. The parents normally live in various regions of Asia or Africa, but migrate to England in the warm months. The first cuckoos reach England in April, and each year people write to newspapers to claim that they have heard the first cuckoo. The bird's call "Cue-coo" is regarded in North Europe as a sign that summer has nearly arrived. After the ice and snow of winter, the sound "Cue-coo" is most welcome, so the bird has a special significance for many Europeans.

The female cuckoo manages to reproduce her species by laying eggs which she then abandons. Each cuckoo tends to lay her eggs in the nest of one particular species. It is amazing that the female will lay eggs which have very similar colours and markings to the eggs of the host bird. This ability helps to prevent the host bird from rejecting the cuckoo's egg.

The cuckoo lays about a dozen eggs altogether at about two-day intervals. Each egg is in a different nest. Having laid her eggs for the year, the female's role as mother is completed. In late July or early August, she flies to the south to a warmer climate.

Meanwhile, each young cuckoo is busy looking after itself and doing the job quite well. The chicks hatch after 12 or 13 days, which is usually much sooner than any of the foster-mother's brood. The young cuckoos lift up any other eggs or chicks so that they fall over the side of the nest. In this way, the cuckoo removes any competition for the foster-mother's attention.

The young cuckoo grows much faster than the foster-mother's own chicks. It gets most of the food brought back to the nest by the foster-mother. After a few weeks, the cuckoo chick grows too big to sit in the nest, and much bigger than the foster-mother. But it is still not ready to fly, and remains on the nest, screaming for the food. The foster-mother is stimulated by this noise and has to work hard all day searching for the food.

After about three weeks, the cuckoo chick starts to fly. But it still stays at the nest most of the time for a further one or two weeks, until it is completely independent. And at this time, it can fly well and find its own food. The bird then remains in Britain until September. And then it too, like its parents, migrates for the winter to the warmer countries of the south.

Questions:

16. How long does a cuckoo stay in Britain according to the talk？

17.What does the bird's call "Cuc-coo" suggest for North Europeans？

18.Where does a female cuckoo lay her eggs？

19.When will a young cuckoo leave its foster-mother's nest？

20.which of the following is TRUE about the cuckoos？

(36)

A．All the year around.

B．For 10 months.

C．For about half a year.

D．For three or four months in summer.

听力原文：If a city ever needed tall buildings in a hurry, it was Chicago in the 1880s. Loc

听力原文： If a city ever needed tall buildings in a hurry, it was Chicago in the 1880s. Located in the center of America's farmland, with rail links to every coast, it was the natural hub of commerce for the entire continent, and one of the fastest growing cities in the country. The great Chicago Fire of 1871 made the need for tall buildings urgent even before the 1880s. The fire raged for two days and wiped out one-third of all the buildings in the city. The fire was so destructive that when Architect William LeBaron Jenney began work on the Home Insurance Building twelve years later, rebuilding was still underway. According to legend, Jenney was working on his design for the Home Insurance Building one afternoon in1883 when a bird began making so much noise that he couldn't concentrate. He got so angry that he grabbed the heaviest book he could find and pounded furiously on the bird's steel-wire cage to shut it up. The cage could have broken after such abuse, Jenney thought afterwards, but it didn't. It didn't even dent. If steel cages were so strong, he realized, why not make buildings out of steel？ Why not build the Home Insurance Building with steel？ But in the early 1880s, buildings were still rarely taller than six or seven stories, and it wasn't just because people hated slow elevators or climbing stairs, Bricks, the standard construction materials of the time, were too heavy to build much higher than that. To support a tall structure, the lower walls would have to be so thick that there would be little floor left. Besides, why use so many bricks to add just one floor when the same number of bricks could be used to construct an entire building somewhere else？ Steel, on the other hand, is so much lighter and can carry so much more weight than brick that you can build more than 100 floors before you run into the same type of problem.

(30)

A．They used bricks and they are too heavy.

B．They used bricks that were too expensive.

C．Steel was in short supply.

D．The benefits of steel were unknown to them.
