PartⅠReading Comprehension (30%)

　　Directions：There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed

by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four

choices marked A，B，C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken

the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

　　Passage 1

　　Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage：

　　The reflective towers of New York City， which is on the Atlantic

migrating(迁徙的)route ，can be deadly for birds. “We live in an age of

glass，” said Ms.Laurel， an architect.(76)“It can be a perfect mirror in

certain lights，and the larger the glass，the more dangerous it is.” About

90，000 birds are killed by flying into building in the city each year.

Often，they strike the lower levels of glass towers after searching for food in

nearby parks. Such crashes are the second-leading cause of death for migrating

birds，after habitat(栖息地)loss，with an estimated number of death ranging up

to a billion a year.

　　(77)As glass office and apartment towers have increased in the last

decade，so，too，have calls to make them less deadly to birds. San Francisco

adopted bird-safety standard for new building in July. The United States Green

Building Council，a nonprofit industry group that encourages the creation of

environmentally conscious buildings，will introduce a bird-safety credit this

as part of its environmental certification process.

　　There are no easy fixes，however. A few researchers are exploring glass

designs that use ultraviolet(紫外线的)signals，but they are still in their

infancy. Covers，dot patterns，shades and net are the main options available.

　　Often，only one section of a building needs to be changed. “You don‘t

necessarily have to treat every window，” Ms.Laurel said. “It would be too

expensive to do the whole building.” The Jacob Convention Center， which has

been undergoing alterations，the most recent building to voluntarily correct

the problem of bird crashes. The architects used less reflective glass and dot

patterns.
