Science seems to be getting closer to answering a very old mystery. Homing pigeons(信鸽)can be 16 hundreds of miles from their homes. When they are let to go to 17 again, they find their way home. Because of this special ability to 18 ,pigeons have been used 19 messengers for hundreds of years.
?? Today people even breed homing pigeons for 20 at a sport. The birds are shipped to some chosen 21 a few hundred miles away. Then all of them are let to go together. The winner is the bird that gets home 22 .A good race can make it home from 500 miles away 23 a single day.

First, they use the sun. Experiments show that homing pigeons can tell 26 by the sun. What happens when the 27 is darkly overcoat by clouds and no one can 28 where the sun is? Then the pigeons still find their way home.
?? Naturally, people have wondered whether pigeons might have a built-in compass(指南针)— 29 that would tell them about the direction of the 30 magnetic(磁的)field. Many different kinds of experiments were 31 .Here’s what the scientists decided 32 they had made experiments many times. When pigeons can see the sun, they use it as their 33 means of direction-finding. When they can’t see the sun, they use some 34 way to sense direction from the earth’s magnetic field.
?? But how do pigeons know 35 direction is toward home? What do they use that we would call a map? These are other questions to be answered.

A
Peter the Great(1672-1725)wanted his city to be unique (独特的)in Russia. So he filled it with canals like those of Venice, baroque(巴洛克式的)palaces and British townhouses. Now the city has celebrated its 300th anniversary(周年纪念).
?? Naming the city was a difficult matter. At first, Peter the Great called his huge ambitions new Russian city Sankt Pieter Burkh. But, he soon changed this to St Petersburg. When World War Ⅰ broke out in 1914,it was renamed Petrograd. On the death of Lenin in 1924,it became Leningrad. After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991,it returned to St Petersburg. Many people call it Plain Peter today. There was a time when all of Russia’s available(可用的) stones were sent there to build Peter’s magnificent(雄伟的)“Window on the West”.
From the start, St Petersburg was a very modern, international city. It first became the Russian capital in 1712 and, with this in mind, Peter hired a great deal of international talent to build and develop it.
?? The most obvious effect of the arrival of foreigners was in the layout(设计)of the city’s streets, parks, palaces and government buildings. Although bombed to near destruction by Adolf Hitler’s forces in the 1940s,the city was rebuilt, stone by stone. What you see around you is in the end of Catherine the Great’s reign(统治) in 1796 when, after nearly a century, Peter’s city was one of the finest in the world.
?? Peter the Great remains a meeting point for the cultures of Russia and Europe. Maybe you are one of the 49 percent of its population who, in 1991,voted to remain its revolutionary name, Leningrad, or the 51 percent who opted for St Petersburg. To everyone, it remains Peter, an architectural stone of race and fascinating beauty.
36.In the passage the author wants to_________.
A. say St Petersburg is more famous than other cities in Russia
B. introduce the great history of St Petersburg
C. describe the building styles of St Petersburg
D. make more people interested in St Petersburg
37.Which of the following names of the city has the longest history?
A.Sankt Pieter Burkh.??? B.St Petersburg.C.Petrograd.?????? D.Leningrad.

A.were against??? B.chose????? C.rebuilt????? D.moved away from
39.The writer of this passage__________.
A.is an architect(建筑师)
B.is a historian
C.is familiar with the history of St Petersburg
D.considers St Petersburg the largest city in Europe

Britain is a popular tourist place. But tours of the country have pros and cons.
?? Good news
?? Free museum. No charge for outstanding collections of art and antiquities(古董).
Pop music. Britain is the only country to rival(与……匹敌) the U.S. on this score.
Black cabs. London taxi drivers know where they are going even if there are never enough of them at weekends or night.

?? Fashion. Fashion junkies love deeply and respect highly brand names such as Vivienne Westood, Alexander McQueen; street styles are justly loved, too.

???Poor public transport. Trains and buses are promised to defeat the keenest tourists, although the overcrowded London tube is inexplicably(无以言表地) popular.
?? Lack of languages . Speaking slowly and clearly may not get many foreign visitors very far, even in the tourist traps(圈套).
?? Rain. Still in the number one complaint(抱怨).
?? No air conditioning. Hot summers become as unbearable as the downpours.

If you have been joining in chat room conversations, or trading emails with web pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a particularly short form of English.
And you’ve got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF (sense of humor failure) to describe Internet newcomers who don’t understand you.
Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are talking online, and many of them are talking at the same time.
It’s fast: try talking to six people at once. It’s brief: three or four words per exchange. It takes wit(智慧), concentration and quick fingers.
And it requires tremendous linguistic economy(语言省略). There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why consume precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (be right back) will do?
Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (pardon me for jumping in).
Interested in whom you are talking to? Type A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.
If something makes you laugh, say you are OTF (on the floor), or LOL (laughing out loud), or combine the two into ROTFL (rolling on the floor laughing).
And when it is time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (got to go) or TTYL (talk to you later).
People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and capitals. Punctuation(标点)is going, too.
43. Many people talk on the Internet _____.
by sending short emails
B. by using a particularly short form of English
C. in a funny way
D. by using particular English words and expressions
44. In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet _____.
A. you have to speak fast and fluently
B. you should speak with wit and humor
C. you have to express your ideas in a brief way
D. one should pay much attention to the accuracy of words
45. If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means _____.
A. the person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine
you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York
you are talking to 17 girls who are from New York
the person who you are talking to is a 17-foot tall New York girl
46. To save time on the Internet, _____.
A. some people leave their letters in the dustbin
some people never use “shift” in their writing
many people keep the capital letters and punctuation
people seldom use capital letters or punctuation
D
Holly had never traveled more than 100 miles from her home in Oklahoma when she applied to be a foreign exchange student to Brazil.

Holly was excited and a little nervous to know that she was going to spend a whole year in another country. Holly didn’t speak Portuguese.

Every year, thousands of students all over the world take part in student exchange programs such as AFS Intercultural Programs, Rotary Youth Exchange and Youth for Understanding. With the aim of promoting(促进)understanding among people all over the world, these non-profit programs offer students a chance to study and live in another country for a certain period of time.
