Last week,Chicago became the first city ...

Last week,Chicago became the first city in the US to join the “Lights Out Plan”.People turned off the lights in the city’s tallest buildings,so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes.Every year in autumn,some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south,and come back the next spring.

Lights mean danger to birds.Birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky.Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars.This means they can not find the right way to go home.

This month,about 300 types of birds are flying over Chicago to go back to the south to live through the cold winter.Birds fly to warmer places for a few reasons.Many birds cannot live in the cold,so they fly to warmer places.But there are other reasons,too.Birds need to look for food in the south.Another reason is that they want to have baby birds.Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same “house” they lived in last year,so they fly back there.

There are about 9,000 kinds of birds in the world,and about 600 kinds of birds migrate.Some birds can fly a very long way.Sometimes they fly to other countries.We have fewer birds today because there are fewer places for birds.

1.Why did people in Chicago turn off their lights last week?

A.Because people wanted to save money.

B.Because people liked the dark night.

C.Because people were a afraid that birds would make much noise.

D.Because people were a afraid that birds would lose their way.

2.What does the underlined word “migrate” mean in Chinese?

A.迁徙B.定居C.冬眠D.重生

3.Today we have fewer birds because __________.

A.lots of birds are often ill

1.D 2.A 3.C 4.A 【解析】 试题分析:本文介绍了芝加哥的人们关上了高楼上灯,以便于鸟儿不会把它们当成星星,而无法找到回家的路。许多鸟不能生活在寒冷的地方,所以他们飞往温暖的地方,它们通过看星星来辨别道路,如果它们把灯光当成星星,这就意味着它们找不到回家的路。 1.D推理判断题。根据Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars.This means they can not find the right way to go home.可知芝加哥的人们关灯,因为担心鸟儿把高楼上的灯当作星星,而迷路,故选D。 2.A词义猜测题。根据Some birds can fly a very long way.Sometimes they fly to other countries.可知鸟儿们飞很长的路途,飞到其他国家,这是在迁徙,故选A。 3.C细节理解题。根据We have fewer birds today because there are fewer places for birds.可知因为鸟儿有更少的地方居住,所以我们有更少的鸟。故选C。 4. 考点:日常生活类短文阅读。
