It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point，there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeonsa number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world.Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.,Sadly the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant，people believed there was an everlasting supply and killed them by the thousands.Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time.The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.,By the closing decades of the 19th century，the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline.Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.,In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons，but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years.The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900.For a time, a few birds survived under human care.The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914. 立意与点拨：本文介绍了美国的旅鸽灭绝的原因与经历。旅鸽的数量曾经多到飞行时能够遮天蔽日，后来人类的滥捕滥杀和对它们栖息地的破坏导致了它们的灭绝。,1In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons_. Awere the biggest bird in the world Blived mainly in the south of America Cdid great harm to the natural environment Dwere the largest bird population in the US 答案：D 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句以及第二段第一句可知，在18世纪和19世纪初，旅鸽的数量占到了美国鸟类总量的24%至40%，这一结果可能使其成为全世界最多数量的鸟类。由此可推断出，旅鸽当时是美国数量最多的鸟类。,2The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons_. Aescape Bruin Cliberation Devolution 答案：B 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段画线单词之后叙述的内容可知鸽子被当作城市饭店中的食物，遭受了长期大量的捕杀，可判断出画线单词所在句子的意思是说鸽子的数量遭受了“毁灭性”的打击。因此可知，画线单词的意思应该是“毁灭、破坏”与选项中的ruin的意思最接近。,3What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons? ATo seek pleasure. BTo save other birds. CTo make money. DTo protect crops. 答案：C 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句话“The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.”可知，鸽子被捕捉后被运往大城市卖给了各个餐厅，由此可推断出人们捕杀鸽子主要是为了挣钱。,4What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan? AIt was ignored by the public. BIt was declared too late. CIt was unfair. DIt was strict. 答案：B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“.but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years.The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900.”制定法律的时候，已有十年时间都没有看见成规模的鸽群了，再根据其后说的在法律制定的三年后即1990年时连最后一只被确认的野旅鸽也死亡了，说明了宣布实施这部法律时为时已晚。,断章取义，忽视逻辑 What is eBay? The simple answer is that it is a global trading platform where nearly anyone can trade practically anything. People can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods, including cars, movies and DVDs, sporting goods, travel tickets, musical instruments, clothes and shoesthe list goes on and on.,The idea came from Peter Omidyar, who was born in Paris and moved to Washington when he was still a child. At high school, he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tuft University in 1988, he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer. In his free time he started eBay as a kind of hobby, at first offering the service free by word of mouth. By 1996 there was so much traffic on the website that he had to upgrade(升级) and he began charging a fee to members. Joined by a friend, Peter Skill, and in 1998 by his capable CEO, Meg Whitman, he has never looked back. Even in the crashes of the late 1990s, eBay has gone from strength to strength. It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the Internet.,QFrom “he has never looked back” in Paragraph 2 we learn that Pierre _. Adid not feel lonely Bwas always hopeful Cdid not think about the past Dbecame more and more successful 错误分析：如果只看Joined by a friend, Peter Skill, and in 1998 by his capable CEO, Meg Whitman, he has never looked back. “有了朋友Peter Skill和1998年能力过人的首席执行官Meg Whitman的加入，他再也没有回头。”容易误选B或C，认为他有了帮手后信心大增，对未来充满希望了。,答案：D 此题是猜测词义及推理判断题，根据文章理解短语“look back”的具体意思。这类题考查目的是，让考生以上下文内容为参考，尝试理解文中出现的生词或短语。而文章中出现这个生词的位置，往往下文中出现的内容是对这个词的解释、说明、举例等。在he has never looked back之后，紧接着出现了Even in the crashes of the late 1990s, eBay has gone from strength to strength. It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the Internet. “ 尽管在20世纪90年代出现网络崩溃，eBay还是一步一步的壮大了，成为网络购物10个访问量最大的网络市场之一”，说明彼得事业的成功，因此答案应该为D。做这类题目一定要看具体的上下文，不能断章取义，不注意与原文内容的联系。,
