It's getting cold and winter is coming. More than 4 billion birds will stream overhead on their migration to warmer grounds down south, where they will feed. One of my favorite places to see this migration in action is Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico, a critical stopover for a number of different migrating species.
The best time to visit is mid-November through mid-February, and I usually go to the place in mid-December. I've made it a tradition to go with my father with our cameras, and I look forward to our day trip all year long. I also love our tradition of stopping at Buckhorn Tavern for a famous green chile cheeseburger at the end of a long day in the field.
Most Snow Geese come from Northern Canada, flying up to 1,500 miles at 40 miles per hour along with their partners and sometimes their young. Sandhill Cranes are much larger, breeding in Canada, Alaska and Siberia. Once almost extinct, they have recovered dramatically because of places like this national wildlife refuge.
Bird photography typically means using a huge lens(镜头) to get close to all the action. The big lens ensures I get those magical moments without disturbing a bird endangered. But I needn't go far to see migrating species. In my own backyard, I use a bird blind, which allows me to sit inside capturing photos of any migrating species flying through. In my own back-yard, I also find that not all birds migrate, but they prepare for winter, stocking up seeds and acorns.
So wherever you are, keep your eyes out and up. If you miss the migration this year, soon it'll be warming up and the birds will be on their journeys to their summer homes in the North.
24.What does Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge mean to the author
A.A scenery spot to have fun.
B.A destination to take photos.
C.A field to catch some birds.
D.A place to watch birds migrate.
25.Where does the author like to go to eat something after the visit
A.To Canada. B.To Alaska.
C.To Buckhorn Tavern. D.To the backyard.
26.Why are Sandhill Cranes mentioned in paragraph 3
A.To show the reserves' value.
B.To introduce a kind of birds.
C.To stress the importance of birds.
D.To list some birds' migratory sites.
27.What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.The habits of some migrating species.
B.The author's knowledge of endangered birds.
C.The skills of taking photos of migrating birds.
D.The author's efforts to watch birds' migration.

Private identity is related to a person's identity where he cannot describe his feeling publicly,and has difficulties in expressing his ideas and thoughts or socializing with others. It is like being introverted(内向的) in front of the public. And public identity is related to somewhat expressing one's feeling perfectly in front of the public. There are many factors for a person to be publicly introverted, which includes different languages and cultures.
Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez written by Richard Rodriguez reflects his development from a disadvantaged son of Mexican immigrants living in northern California into a well-educated person. Rodriguez strongly believes that for accessing the privileges of public life, people must learn how to be assimilated into public society and depress their private identity. He argues that developing a public identity is directly related to maturing into adulthood.
Rodriguez states how he started his school life, from knowing only 50 words to becoming a publicly recognized professor and author. He argues that everyone deserves to speak in a public voice and feel belonging in a public society. But to gain this, one should make sacrifices to the expectations of society. This includes loss of private identity, because when a person starts spending more time acting and speaking in public, he starts to live a life with reduced intimacy(亲密).
Rodriguez accepts these facts because he remembers the feeling of closeness to his family as a child and how it started fading when he started living a public life. Rodriguez also argues that the school should be a place to build a child's public identity rather than developing his private identity he has formed at home. He believes that one of the purposes of education is to develop children's ability to speak in a public language, which is a crucial step in their development.
28.How does the author start the text
A.By offering reasons. B.By giving examples.
C.By giving definitions. D.By expressing opinions.
29.Which can replace the underlined word "assimilated" in paragraph 2
A.absorbed B.divided C.researched D.looked
30.What is Rodriguez's attitude to public identity
A.Uncertain. B.Positive. C.Unfriendly. D.Cautious.
31.What may Rodriguez agree with according to the text
A.It's difficult to have both intimacy and public identity.
B.Schools have a duty to develop children's private identity.
C.Having the feeling of closeness to family is unnecessary.
D.Developing children's ability to speak is the goal of education.

Antecedent(先前的) carbon emissions are greenhouse gases released during the making of a product. Most manufacturers or customers pay little attention to them. In fact, operating emissions is important in a fossil-fuel-powered world.
An expert, Annika Ramskold, summarized the problem and said, "Going fossil free isn't just about how things are powered. It's about removing fossil fuels from how things are sourced, made, transported and assembled. While electric vehicles are a great start, we need to go further. Fossil fuel free vehicles mean greenwash (环保幌子) until the entire production part has been decarbonized(使环保)."
One manufacturer paying much attention is a Swedish electric motorcycle company. It plans to build the world's cleanest motorcycle. But it may have trouble visualizing carbon dioxide. The company came up against the problem. It said, "As the Cleanest Dirt Bike Ever project involves global suppliers, it is difficult to get primary data, due to the complex global supply chain.It is also difficult to clean up that global supply chain. We investigated the possibility of treating each component separately. This needed to track the entire supply chain of each individual part. We eventually didn't focus on the end product, but dealt with the materials used to make said parts."
So instead, they are concentrating on the four main materials in the bikes—aluminum, steel, plastic and rubber. But some parts of the bike, including motor, battery, controller, brakes and suspension, are made by outside suppliers located globally. The company will have much trouble making much of a dent in that.
Ultimately, the answer is how much stuff goes into your vehicle. The motorcycle is said to have a twentieth of the antecedent carbon of an electric car. This is why the company's work is so important. When people finally understand the effect of antecedent carbon emissions, they may realize that the most important choice they can make is not to drive a car as much as possible.
32.What does Annika Ramskold want to stress
A.People should stop producing fossil fuel free vehicles.
B.Electric vehicles can solve environmental issues well.
C.It's important to make production environmentally friendly.
D.Customers should pay little attention to operating emissions.
33.Which one can best describe the Swedish company's project
A.Fruitful. B.Challenging. C.Meaningless. D.Conventional.
34.What does the author advise people to do
A.Know the reasons for emissions.
B.Make some important choices.
C.Buy the company's motorcycles.
D.Adopt greener means of travel.
35.What may be the best title for the text
A.Sweden Is Trying to Go Green.
B.Making Production Green Is Really Green.
C.Global Companies Reject Carbon Emissions.
D.Choosing Electric Vehicles to Reduce Emissions.

It is like being introverted(内向的) in front of the public. And public identity is related to somewhat expressing one's feeling perfectly in front of the public. There are many factors for a person to be publicly introverted, which includes different languages and cultures.
Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez written by Richard Rodriguez reflects his development from a disadvantaged son of Mexican immigrants living in northern California into a well-educated person. Rodriguez strongly believes that for accessing the privileges of public life, people must learn how to be assimilated into public society and depress their private identity. He argues that developing a public identity is directly related to maturing into adulthood.
Rodriguez states how he started his school life, from knowing only 50 words to becoming a publicly recognized professor and author. He argues that everyone deserves to speak in a public voice and feel belonging in a public society. But to gain this, one should make sacrifices to the expectations of society. This includes loss of private identity, because when a person starts spending more time acting and speaking in public, he starts to live a life with reduced intimacy(亲密).
Rodriguez accepts these facts because he remembers the feeling of closeness to his family as a child and how it started fading when he started living a public life. Rodriguez also argues that the school should be a place to build a child's public identity rather than developing his private identity he has formed at home. He believes that one of the purposes of education is to develop children's ability to speak in a public language, which is a crucial step in their development.

Antecedent(先前的) carbon emissions are greenhouse gases released during the making of a product. Most manufacturers or customers pay little attention to them. In fact, operating emissions is important in a fossil-fuel-powered world.
An expert, Annika Ramskold, summarized the problem and said, "Going fossil free isn't just about how things are powered. It's about removing fossil fuels from how things are sourced, made, transported and assembled. While electric vehicles are a great start, we need to go further. Fossil fuel free vehicles mean greenwash (环保幌子) until the entire production part has been decarbonized(使环保)."
One manufacturer paying much attention is a Swedish electric motorcycle company. It plans to build the world's cleanest motorcycle. But it may have trouble visualizing carbon dioxide. The company came up against the problem. It said, "As the Cleanest Dirt Bike Ever project involves global suppliers, it is difficult to get primary data, due to the complex global supply chain.It is also difficult to clean up that global supply chain. We investigated the possibility of treating each component separately. This needed to track the entire supply chain of each individual part. We eventually didn't focus on the end product, but dealt with the materials used to make said parts."
So instead, they are concentrating on the four main materials in the bikes—aluminum, steel, plastic and rubber. But some parts of the bike, including motor, battery, controller, brakes and suspension, are made by outside suppliers located globally. The company will have much trouble making much of a dent in that.
Ultimately, the answer is how much stuff goes into your vehicle. The motorcycle is said to have a twentieth of the antecedent carbon of an electric car. This is why the company's work is so important. When people finally understand the effect of antecedent carbon emissions, they may realize that the most important choice they can make is not to drive a car as much as possible.
32.What does Annika Ramskold want to stress
A.People should stop producing fossil fuel free vehicles.
B.Electric vehicles can solve environmental issues well.
C.It's important to make production environmentally friendly.
D.Customers should pay little attention to operating emissions.
33.Which one can best describe the Swedish company's project
A.Fruitful. B.Challenging. C.Meaningless. D.Conventional.
34.What does the author advise people to do
A.Know the reasons for emissions.
B.Make some important choices.
C.Buy the company's motorcycles.
D.Adopt greener means of travel.
35.What may be the best title for the text
A.Sweden Is Trying to Go Green.
B.Making Production Green Is Really Green.
C.Global Companies Reject Carbon Emissions.
D.Choosing Electric Vehicles to Reduce Emissions.

72.【答案】Dear Lucy,
How are you doing Last month, I went on a trip to the Great Wall with my parents. There were a lot of tourists, among whom were some foreigners. I greeted them in English. I climbed for a few hours with perseverance and eventually reached the desired destination. I was struck by the height and glory of the Great Wall. I was full of admiration for the ancient people of China because they made a lot of efforts to build it.
I know that you have always longed to visit the Great Wall, so I suggest that you enjoy its beauty in the near future. I'm sure that it will bring you a different travel experience. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
