Question

If we find a bird nest (巢), we will have a good place of observing (观察) and knowing about birds.

Birds sit on eggs and take care of their baby birds from April to June. Because the baby birds are too young to leave the nest, mothers often leave and come back to the nest during the time to look for food. So it is good to observe birds. When we observe birds, we’d better hide(隐藏) ourselves in a close place to the nest, and it’s better to use binoculars (双筒望远镜).

But how to make a bird nest? It’s very easy. If you want to make one, please follow these:

Making a nest: A good nest must be very fine, strong, thick and easy.

a) Each nest must have six boards. Don’t make the boards too slippery. (滑的)

b) Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a door. The “door” is from 3cm to 5cm. So the bird can fly in or out easily.

c) Make sure the rainwater doesn’t go into the nest.

d) One piece of the boards should be easy to open.

e) Please don’t forget to color the nest.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文中作者介绍了我们该如何去观察鸟的活动，这是一门学问。短文的后半部分作者给我们介绍了怎样做一个鸟窝。

1.A细节理解题。根据短文中If we find a bird nest (巢), we will have a good place of observing (观察) and knowing about birds以及When we observe birds, we’d better hide(隐藏) ourselves in a close place to the nest可知，在观察鸟的时候，要找一个好地方，作者认为应该是靠近鸟巢的地方。故应选A。

2.C推理判断题。根据文意可知，我们观察鸟的时候，要藏起来，这样鸟才会像他们日常生活那样，不受我们的影响。因此应选C。

3.D推理判断题。根据文意可知，在我们做鸟窝的时候，不要弄得太滑，因为这样鸟站在上面就非常的困难。因此应选D。

4.B细节理解题。根据短文中Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a door. The “door” is from 3cm to 5cm. So the bird can fly in or out easily可知，在鸟窝的前部挖一个小洞当做门，这样鸟可以容易地飞进来或者飞出去。由此可知应选B。
