In the 12th century, the royal palaces of Iraq and Syria included pigeon houses so the kings could be kept informed of their generals victories and defeats on the battlefield. In fact, pigeons were a common way to send messages right up through World War II.Many countries, such as the United States, England, France, Germany, and Italy, in both World War I and World War II, used carrier pigeons. Not only were the birds often the fastest, most reliable way to send messages, they could also be used to reach soldiers far behind enemy lines, where radios and field telephone lines were useless. Since they could easily be released (释放) from airplanes or ships, every branch of the armed services used the birds. In World War II, more than 3,000 soldiers and 150 officers were needed to care for and train the tens of thousands of birds in the U.S. Pigeon Service.Carrying messages could be a dangerous job. Some pigeons performed with such bravery that they became famous and were even awarded medals, such as Englands Dicken Medal of Gallantry. In a few cases, pigeons even became prisoners of war. In 1918 American forces captured a pigeon named Kaiser, which had been trained to fly special missions for Germany during battle. He was taken to America, where he lived to the age of 32. The most famous pigeon of all may have been Cher Ami. Stationed in France during World War I, he carried twelve important messages for American forces. On his last mission, though wounded, he carried a message that saved the lives of 194 American soldiers. For his extraordinary service, he was awarded the French “Croix de Guerre.”Carrier pigeons are a slightly different breed (品种) from the kind of pigeons you see on city streets. They are much thinner and taller, with longer legs. Many people find carrier pigeons ugly because of their big wattle, a bent buildup of skin on the beak（鸟嘴）; however, people who raise pigeons often enjoy this strange appearance and consider carriers the best of their breed.Today, modern communication methods can carry information from one place to another hundreds of times faster than a pigeon could do. However, few people would argue with the fact that carrier pigeonsespecially those that served in the militaryhave earned their place in history. Stories about brave pigeons such as Cher Ami, President Wilson, and Colonels Lady have the power to inspire us as no fax machine or high-speed Internet connection could ever do. （1）Many countries used carrier pigeons in the war because_.A . they could be believed inB . they were easily raisedC . they could reach the enemy linesD . they could hardly be found by airplanes（2）Which is the best example to show the bravery of carrier pigeons?A . Carrier pigeons could fly to places where radios and telephone lines were uselessB . For his extraordinary service, Cher Ami was awarded the French “Croix de Guerre”C . In World War II, more than 3,000 soldiers were needed to care for and train the pigeons.D . In the 12th century, kings in Iraq were kept informed of the victories and defeats by pigeons.（3）From the passage, we can learn _.A . how carrier pigeons developed in historyB . how to train carrier pigeons to get victoryC . carrier pigeons played an important role in the wars in the old daysD . pigeons inspired soldiers to fight before high-speed Internet invented3. （4分）阅读下面三篇短文，根据短文内容，从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。BThere is a famous English saying “You are what you eat”, and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you. Many experts use it to tell people its important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.“When we say some people sweet, we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps his word can help us learn more about peoples feelings and acts.” said Brain Meier, a scientist from the study team. “Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someones character and behavior depending on their taste.”In one of their experiments, college students were asked questions about their character-whether, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate nonsweet food such as chips werent. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.The result of experiments is that peoples helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.（1）The underlined word “it” refers to(指代) _.A . the sweet foodB . the eating habitC . the American teamD . the English saying（2）According to the result of the experiments, sweet food makes people _.A . overweightB . excitedC . relaxedD . friendly（3）The scientists found that the people who preferred _ were less helpful.A . ice-creamB . chocolateC . chipsD . cookies（4）It can be learnt from the passage that _.A . scientists asked college students questions about their futureB . scientists told college students not to eat sweet foodC . people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help othersD . peoples character has nothing to do with their taste.4. （8分）阅读下文，然后从各顺所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案.17-year-old Brennan Agranoff, a colorblind boy, started his custom sock business in middle school, with a small loan(贷款)he got from his parents.
