Annie slept in the front of the seat with her father drove through the darkness. ”We’re almost there!” Dad announced cheerfully. “Soon well be observing and counting owls at the state park.” Yawning, Annie nodded and smiled. The time was 4:30 a.m. Looking out into the darkness, Annie remembered learning in school that most owls are active at night, when they hunt for food. During the day they sleep in hard-to-find spots.
“Dad, why do you need to count owls?” she asked. “It’s important for the scientists to have current information about bird populations,” he explained. “We want to know which birds have decreased in number and whether any new kinds of birds are coming into a certain area. You and I will write down the kinds of birds that we see today and keep a record of how many times we see each kind. The we’ll send out a report to a scientific organization that is collecting about birds from people all over the county.”
Dad pulled into the parking lot of the state park. Then, with flashing in hand, they began their hike into the woods. Annie zipped up her coat and tried to keep from trembling. She had not expected the morning to be so frigid. Luckily her gloves were in her pocket.
Suddenly Annie’s father stooped and gestured for her to be still. Obeying, Annie did not take another step. She thought she heard a low crying up head. “That’s certainly a screech owl,” her father whispered. “Let’s get a look at it.” After looking more closely, Annie could see that it was a small owl. Sensing danger, the owl narrowed its eyes and pulled its feathers tightly against its body. Annie carefully wrote down in her notebook that they had seen a screech owl.
Walking a little farther, they came to a tall oak tree. “This looks like a perfect spot to attract owls,” Dad said. “I’m going to play a recording of common call of the barred owl. Maybe we can get one to answer.’ Annie could hardly believe her ear. The recorded all sounded as if the bird were asking, “who cooks for you?” Moments later Annie thought she heard a return call in distance. She held her breath and waited. Suddenly a huge bird landed very quietly on a branch above them.
Annie had long forgotten how cold it was. She stood in wonder, shining her flashlight on the bird and studying it carefully. The barred owl was nearly tow feet tall. Gray feathers surrounded
its dark eyes. The bird did not matter. Annie would never forge the image of the powerful barred owl.
24. Annie and her father went to the state park to _________. A. catch owls
B. collect information about owls C. record the call of owls
D. carry out an experiment on owls
25. With the help of ________, Annie could study the barren owl carefully. A. scientists B. moonlight C. flashlight D. a recorder

There is a growing number of kidults---or adults who wear the mask of maturity but prefer to pander(迎合) to their inner child.
They feell ill equipped for parenthood, because they don’t see what values or lessons they could honestly pass on to their young, besides self-centeredness and a passion for the good things in lide. They are trying to live by not acting their age.
As Ms Jane put it in her letter: I’am married, in my late 20s and enjoy a lifestyle other married graduate couples enjoy: winning and dining, tasteful clothes, travel and a career. Why give up all
these for a baby?
It is reported that whn asked whether they were adults, most people in their 20s answered they were not sure. This refected a global economy in which people chased more papers to get better jobs that would comfortablly support middle class living.
Being a kidult is not all about being selfish, though. With the untold uncertainties of war, fluctualting(波动)markets, disease and terriorism, many see this world as a poor place to live in—let alone bring kids up in. This seems especially so in urban living. All anyone wants after a long, hard day at work is some peace and quiet.
My classmate, Jenny, mused(沉思)recently how our friends living in small Malaysian towns were onto their second or third kids. Maybe they just loved having children around. Or maybe, in their own way, they wanted to leave the world a better place than they found it.
That’s how you, I and everyonen know we have the chance to breathe air, touch grass and see sky. I think out parents understand that just being alive is an experience worth passing on. 28. What is a kidult in the writer’s opinion? A. A person who doesn’t have a child
B. An adult who actually has a psychology of a child C. A child who doesn’t want to grow up
D. A person who doesn’t know that what values he has 29. What does the underlined word “paper” in Para. 4 mean? A. money B. reputation C.qualification D. power
30. The author explains the kidult phenomenon by ________. A. presenting research findings B. making comparison C. showing her own experience D. using examples
31. We can learn from the text that kidults________. A. know little what they can pass on to their children
B. are sure of their abilities for good life C. living in urban can enjoy more peace
D. living in small towns know well what they’re living for D
At Dulles High school in Sugar Land, Texas, the roster(候选名单)for Advanced Chinese begins with Jason Chao and ends with Kathy Zhang. In between comes an unexpected name: Elizabeth Hoffman. Hoffman, now a 12th grader, began learning Chinese in the eighth grade, has spent a summer studying in Nanjing and plans to perfect her Mandarin next fall. When asked by her peers---why she is learning Chinese, she responds with a question: “why aren’t you?”
As China rushes toward superpower status, America’s schools and government officials are responding to Hoffman’s opinion. Earlier this year Eush Holt of New Jersey introduced legialation(立法)calling for increased money of programs for less commonly taught languages, “For reasons of economics, culture and security, we should have much better facilities(设备)with Chinese languages and dialects,” he said. The State Department has pointed out Chinese is becoming a “critical language”, but the most recent data show that only 24,000 students in Grade 7 to Grade 12 study Chinese.
Still, the number is growing. In Chicago public schools, enrollment in Chinese classes has skyrocked from 5000 students in 2005 to nearly 35,000 students this year. In the Santa Clara County, California, enrollment has quadrupled during the same period. In 2007, when the College Board first introduces advanced-placement language exams in Chinese and Italian, 2,400 high school plan to offer AP Chinese---10 times the number of students that plan to offer AP Italian.
Much of the interest can be explained by China’s increasing competiviveness. “People are always trying to judge what languages are going to be useful for the future,” says Marty Abbot, the director of education at the National Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, Stephanie Wong, a student At Monta Vista High School in Cupertino, California, chose Chinese so that she could speak with her grandfather. Wong also predicted that Chinese will be important if she becomes a doctor. 80 percent of people in her hometown are Asians. 32. What does the first paragraph mainly discuss? A. Dulles High School offers a Chinese course
B. Jason and Kathey are the top students at Dulles School
C. Elizabeth Hoffman suggests her school offer a Chinese course D. Elizebeth Hoffman takes the lead in learning Chinese
33. According to the text, Chinese is becoming a “critical language” because ______. A. American government has pointed it out
B. Rush Holt introduced legislation calling for opening Chinese C. China rushes toward superpower status
D. many students in the world choose to learn Chinese 34._______ arouses America’s schools interest in Chinese. A. The fact that Chinese is becoming a “critical language” B. China’s increasing competitiveness in the world C. The beautiful Chinese traditional culture D. The population of people speaking Chinese 35. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. more money will be spent on facilities with Chinese languages B. in America, more people speak Italian than Chinese
C. the number of enrollment in Chinese classes will be increasing forever D. if a language is useful for the future it may become a critial language 第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)
