They make a sound for food. Mum tells them to be quiet when danger comes. But now a new study finds that kind of talk begins long before the babies are born. Even in the eggs, they can talk with each other and know when to get out or when to keep waiting.To check that finding, a team of scientists from Spain watched unborn birds carefully in Salvora Island. Over there, sea birds produce eggs and minks eat baby birds. So it is quite a dangerous place for baby birds. Knowing when to come out of the egg is a matter of life and death.Scientists collected sea bird eggs and put them into two groups. When minks come, a parent will give warning calls to the baby birds. Scientists played those calls for one group. While the other group stayed in a safe box. They would never hear such calls.When scientists put all the eggs together, they found something surprising: after receiving warning calls, the eggs vibrated more than the others. Those vibrations moved from one egg to another. It was just like there were ears in the eggs. It was clear that unborn birds talked with their sisters and brothers about danger.44．This passage is mainly about ________.A．a magic egg B．a wild animal C．a new study D．a huge box45．Scientists watched unborn birds in Salvora Island because they wanted to ________.A．check when birds begin talking B．protect the sea birds in dangerC．take photos of beautiful sea birds D．know when birds get out of eggs46．How did scientists do their research?①collected bird eggs①played warning calls①put eggs together①put eggs in groupA．①→①→①→①B．①→①→①→①C．①→①→①→①D．①→①→①→①47．What’s the best title for the passage?A．Birds in Danger B．Love from EggsC．Nature for Birds D．Talk in the EggsMrs. Rachel Lynde was a curious woman. She knew everything about Avonlea. Mrs. Rachel lived in a part of Avonlea called Lynde’s Hollow. She saw everyone coming into town and everyone going out. Mrs. Rachel wasmore curious than most people but she was also very helpful.Today she was very curious about Matthew Cuthbert. Matthew was dressed in his best clothes and he was driving his horse and buggy past her house.“Where is Matthew Cuthbert going?” she asked out loud.“I can go to Green Gables and ask Marilla,” she thought.Marilla was Matthew’s sister. Marilla and Matthew lived together at Green Gables. Green Gables was a big house. It was far from the main road.Mrs. Rachel knocked on the kitchen door and went into the house. The kitchen at Green Gables was a nice room but it was too tidy. Marilla Cuthbert was in her chair knitting and the table behind her was set for supper. There were three plates on the table. Mrs. Rachel was very confused.“Good evening Rachel,” Marilla said kindly. “Come in and sit down. How is your family?”Marilla was a tall, thin woman. She had dark hair that she always wore in a bun. She looked like a severe woman but her mouth was soft. Maybe she laughed sometimes. The women were very different but they were friends.“We’re all quite well,” said Mrs. Rachel. “But I thought that you weren’t well because I saw Matthew leaving today. Was he going to the doctor’s?”Marilla replied patiently, “Oh, no, we’re quite well. Matthew went to Bright River. We’re getting a little boy from an orphanage（孤儿院）in Nova Scotia and he’s coming on the train tonight.”Mrs. Rachel was so shocked that she was unable to speak for five seconds.-------Ann of Green Gablesselection《绿山墙的安妮》节选48．How was Rachel according to the passage?A．She was curious and helpful.B．She was not very polite.C．She was kind and polite.D．She didn’t like to see anyone going out of town.49．What was the relationship(关系) between Marilla and Rachel?A．They were cousins.B．They were neighbours and friends .C．They were brother and sister.D．They didn’t know each other.50．What does the underlined word “severe” mean in the eighth paragraph?A．warmed-hearted B．generous C．sweet D．cold-hearted51．Where was Matthew going at that evening?A．To the hospital.B．To see a friend.C．To catch a train at a train station.D．To meet a new boy. 52．What can we infer（推断）from the passage？A．Marilla was waiting for Matthew for supper.B．Green Gables was not very big.C．Matthew was old and could not drive his house and buggy.D．Rachel was not happy at all.八、根据汉语提示填空九、用所给单词的正确形式填空66．—You shouldn’t treat me like that!—I’m sorry I hurt your feeling the other day, but I (not mean) to.十、完成句子67．作为他的真朋友，你应该为他保守秘密。
