Mrs. is for married women and Miss is for single women. But what is Ms. for?For some time, businessmen in the United States have used Ms. before a womans name when they do not know whether the woman is married or not.

Not all women like it. Some like the older ways of doing things.

Now theyre starting to fill in the blanks(空白). Not long ago, experiments showed that birds use the sun to guide them during daylight hours. How do birds fly at night? Tests with artificial stars, which are made by people, have proved that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.They found a bird that spent its lifetime in a cage and never flew under a natural sky. But it was born with the ability to use the stars to look for the direction. This birds cage was placed under the sky filled with artificial stars. Any change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of the birds flight. From the experiment, they found that the bird tried to fly in the same direction as those artificial stars moving under the natural sky.But the stars are of course birds main ways of navigation (航行), when the stars are hidden by clouds, they can still find their way by such landmarks (路标) as river courses, mountain ranges (山脉), coast lines and so on. Because of this ability, people use the dove (鸽子) to send messages in some fields. For example, the doves were used to send messages in both World War I and World War II. During that time, thousands of doves were used to carry important messages in order to save the lives of many thousands of people. So it is also the symbol of peace.But when its too dark to see these things, the doves are not able to find their way. They only circle helplessly and get lost.根据短文内容选择最佳答案.( ) 51.

The reason why birds dont get lost on long flights has been known to scientists for many years.B. The stars are of course birds only ways of navigation.C. In the darkness, doves cant find their way.( ) 55. What is this passage mainly about?A. Birds can fly a long distance. B. The dove is the symbol of peace. C. How the birds find their ways.四、任务性阅读（本题10分，每空1分） 先阅读（A)、（B)两篇短文，然后根据题目要求及所给语境完成下列四项任务( A )unfortunate direct distant see cloudIts easy to find your way over short distances.
