Passage 2
Birds are a critical part of our ecological system. But more than ever, birds are threatened byhuman pollution and climate change.
We need the birds to eat insects, move seeds and pollen around, transfer nutrients from sea toland, clean up after the mass death of the annual Pacific salmon runs, or when a wild animal fallsanywhere in a field or forest.
How could we enjoy spring without the birds flitting busily in our garden or dropping by tocheck out the flowers in our urban window box Can you contemplate America without the soaringbald eagle, or even those scavengers like the pigeons and gulls that clean up discarded food scrapson our city streets and waterfronts How diminished our lives would be without them
Scavenging eagles and condors need hunters to behave responsibly and bury, or remove, theremains of any shot deer peppered with fragments of lead bullets. Loons, ducks and other water birdswill be poisoned by lead bullets and lead fishing sinkers if we allow such objects to drop in theirfeeding space.
All sea and shore birds, even the puffins and guillemots of the otherwise pristine Aleutians,need us to make sure that no other heavy metals, like mercury and cadmium, are dumped in riversand make their way across the oceans.
Birds like the terns, knots and shearwaters that migrate between the far north and deep, deep,south of our planet need people everywhere to cease and desist from filling in their wetland fuelstops and rest stations, and from constructing golfing resorts and factories in their feeding andbreeding grounds.
Seabirds are among the most endangered vertebrate species on the planet, with the InternationalUnion for Conservation of Nature classifying 97 species as globally threatened, and 17 in the highestcategory of critically threatened. Of greatest concern are the pelicans of the southern oceans and thespectacular, but slow-breeding albatross.
Plastic bags must be eliminated from natural environments so sea and shore birds don′tmistakenly carry such debris back to feed their chicks, with invariably lethal consequences. Thealbatross, cormorants and herons need us to stop over-fishing and compromising their normal foodsupply.
The pelicans, penguins and all the birds that inhabit, or visit, our coastlines need us to ensurethat we do not dump oil into gulfs and bays, or release so much carbon dioxide into the atmospherethat the oceans turn acidic and we lose the mussels and oysters, the mass of calcareous plankton thatfeeds so many creatures, and the coral reefs that nurture enormous numbers of edible species.
Think about it: We share this small green planet. As they fly, feed and nest, the birds monitorthe health of the natural world for us, provided that we, in turn, make the effort to access that keyinformation.
The birds and humans are both large, complex and ultimately vulnerable organisms that inhabitthe top of the food chain. At the end of the day, their fate will be our fate.
Which of the following fails to tell what birds do according to the passage
细节题。A项“以奇妙的方式帮助植物生长”对应第：二段“We need the birds to eat insects，move seeds andpollen around，transfer nutrients from sea to land”．鸟类吃害虫，帮助植物播撒种子和传播花粉，将营养从海洋转移到陆地。B项“清理鱼类和动物的尸体”对应第二段“clean up afterthemass death ofthe annualPacific salmon runs．orwhen awild animal falls anywhere in a field or forest”。C项“阻止海洋的污染和酸化”，相关内容出现在第二段、倒数第三段；D项“可能攻击不负责任的猎人”，相关内容出现在第四段，但两项均不能从文中推测出来。出题人的题干设置有问题，本题C、D两项理应都选。但是，在考试中，遇到此类问题，要选出与文意最不相关的一项．比较两项，D项与文意更为不符，故选D。

语言素材：
Yu Gong Moves a Mountain
Once upon a time，there was a very old man．There were two mountains near his house．They were so big and high that it took a long way to walk to the other side．The old man told his family that they should all help him to move the mountains．
Yu Gong said they could put them into the sea because it's big enough to hold everything．Yu Gong and his family began to move some of the soil and stone into the sea．
One day a mall saw Yu Gong and his children when they were working on moving the mountains．He told Yu Gong that he could never do it because he was old and weak．
As soon as the man finished talking，Yu Gong said that his family could continue to move the mountains after he died．His family would live and grow，but the mountains could not get bigger．So Yu Gong and his family kept on digging day after day and year after year．
Finally，a god was so moved by Yu Gong that he sent two gods to take the mountains away．
This story reminds US that you can never know what’s possible unless you try to make it happen．

One question that all approaches of language teaching should answer is“_______”
Liberia，the oldest independent Negro state in West Africa，has been struggling for survival ever since its foundation in 1822．Progress has been hampered by constant hostility between the American
Negroes whose families returned there in the early 19th century，and the West Africans whose ancestors never left the continent．Though the two groups are of the same race，they are divided by language and outlook and regard each other with deep suspicion creating a conflict which was not foreseen by Liberia’s founders．
In addition，neighboring states，native tribe，disease，and poverty have made life dangerous and difficult．The government has tried desperately，through loans and a trickle of trade，to make ends meet．Anxiety about financial matters lessened somewhat when，in l910，the United States accepted responsibility for Liberia’s survival．However，not until Harvey Firestone，the American rubber king，
decided that the United States must produce its own rubber--with Liberia as the site of the rubber plantations-did Liberia have much hope of paying its debts and balancing its budget．
The rubber industry，founded in the l 920s，and the activity that followed it brought both progress and profit to Liberia．Before that time Liberia had DO roads，no mechanical transport and no good port；its people had little education and few tools．Liberians feel that the country is being ruled by rubber．
For this reason，the recent discovery of iron ore is important．Liberian leaders are trying to moderate the power of the rubber industry and to establish the country’s political and economic independence．
The best title for this passage is__________．
