1、2021 届天津市复兴中学高三英语第四次联考试题及答案 第一部分 阅读(共两节,满分 40 分)第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 30 分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项 A Bird migration is described as the regular,seasonal movement of bird populations from one place to another and back again.The longer days and rich food of the northern summer provide great
2、er chances for birds to feed their young.The longer daylight hours and enormous food resources allow birds to lay larger eggs than those of related non-migratory species that remain in the tropics all year round.As the days shorten in autumn and the breeding period is over,the birds return to warmer
3、 regions where the available food supply differs little with the seasons changing.The advantages of migration make up for the high stress,physical exertion(消耗),and other risks of the migration.Day length is the primary environmental factor that encourages birds to prepare for migration.They have an
4、increased appetite which results in weight gaining,giving them the fat reserves that provide energy for their migratory flight.They also show more activity at night,which is when most birds migrate.While the length of day is the primary reason for migration,birds also respond to temperature changes.
5、For example,if a spring is late and the temperature is lower than normal,birds delay migration;if a spring is early,birds also begin migration early.The timing of the migratory cycle must allow birds to arrive on the breeding site so that there is time tobuild a breeding place,mate,lay the eggs,and
6、hatch the young before the rich food is available to feed the young in the nest.Similarly,if birds wait until the climate in their northern breeding grounds becomes tolerable(可忍受的),there will be no time togain the necessary weight that provides the energy needed for their southbound migration.1.Why
7、do birds migrate to the north in spring?A The temperature in the south has risen.B.They like traveling and enjoy the journey.C.The summer there is warmer than that in the south.D.The environment there is more suitable for them to feed their baby birds.2.What are the two factors that cause birds to m

15、think that we can bring animals back to life after theyve gone,they will start saying that there is nothing to worry about because we can fix it up later.”4.What does the underlined word“breakthrough”in the l paragraph refer to?A.Scientists have recreated new animals.B.Scientists have resurrected en
