One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving songbirds. She took them home and put them in a small cage, caring them with love. Luckily, the birds grew strong little by little. Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song. The girl felt great love for the birds.One day the girl left the door to the cage open accidentally. The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage. The girl was so frightened that he would fly away. So as he flew close, she grasped him wildly. Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him. Suddenly, she felt the bird go weak, so she opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird. It was her desperate love that had killed him.She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage. She could feel his strong desireneeding to fly into the clear, blue sky. Unwillingly, she lifted him from the cage and threw him softly into the air. The lucky bird circled once, twice, three times.The girl watched delightedly at the bird. Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss. What she wanted to see was that the bird could fly happily. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. He sang the sweetest tune that she had ever heard.Remember, the fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight; the best way to keep love is to give it wings!【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章介绍了一个孤独的小女孩与鸟之间的故事。文章告诉我们： 爱需要空间，缺乏空间的爱只会让爱窒息。1After the girl found the two birds, she _Abecame frightened at onceBbegan to treat them badlyCgreeted them happilyDfed them and raised themD解析：细节理解题。根据题干关键词two birds，找到与之对应的是文章第一段中的“she found two starving songbirds.She took them home and put them in a small cage, caring them with love.”可知小鸟饿得要死，然后她把他们带回家养了起来。故选D。2Why did the girl grasp the stronger bird wildly?ABecause the girl disliked the bird any longer.BBecause the bird wanted to fly alone.CBecause the girl loved the bird deeply.DBecause the bird intended to find some food.C解析：推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词grasp the stronger bird wildly找到对应句是第二段的第三句“The girl was so frightened that he would fly away.”可推知，她怕心爱的鸟儿飞走了，因此才用力地抓住了它。故选C。3What can we learn from the passage?ACatch what you can catch on your way to success.BGoing too far is as bad as not going far enough.CEast or west, home is best.DA bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.B解析：推理判断题。A抓住在你成功路上你可以抓住的东西；B过犹不及；C走遍天下，家是最好；D一鸟在手，胜似二鸟在林。从全文可知： 要给爱以空间，否则会过犹不及。故选B。B(2016太原模拟) Washington: NASA has announced evidence that Jupiters largest moon, Ganymede, has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface. The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earths surface, according to new Hubble observations.New Hubble observations of Ganymedes magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon, which is the largest in our whole solar system, is home to a subsurface ocean.Scientists estimate the ocean is 95 kilometres thick, which is about 10 times deeper than Earths oceans. But unlike our salty waters, Ganymedes ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice.While scientists have speculated(推测) since 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymedethe largest moon in our solar systemuntil now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft, which didnt observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean.This discovery marks an important milestone, highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish. In its 25 years in orbit, Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system. A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth.Scientists_have_already_confirmed_the_existence_of_an_ocean_on_Europe,_another moon orbiting Jupiter, and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water.Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth, but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets. Using these same principles, scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant planets as well.【语篇解读】这是一篇关于天文知识的新闻报道。科学家们通过Hubble望远镜判断在木星的一个卫星的冰盖下有一片咸水海洋，人们期待会有更多的地球以外的生命存在。4What can we learn about the Ganymede from the passage?AIt is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system.BIts ocean adds to peoples excitement about life beyond Earth.CIt will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope.DIts liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft.B解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中“A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth.”可知冰面下海洋的存在增加了人们对于地球以外的生命的兴奋。故选
