You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Why don't birds get lost on their long migratory flight? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now they're beginning to fill in the blanks. Not long ago, experiments show that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly mainly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights. One such bird--a warbler--had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird's cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the make-believe stars caused a change in the direction of his flight. Scientists think that warblers, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently their principle means of navigation. What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coastlines, and river courses. But when it's too dark to see these, the warblers circle helplessly, unable to get their bearings.
1. Birds don't get lost on their migratory flights, and the reasons ______.
Directions:This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45. The energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction, and only a minute part of it falls on the earth. It is reported that some scientists believe less than 1% of the solar energy fallen on the earth has been used so far. Even so, it represents power of approximately 5, 000,000 horsepower per square mile per day; the sun gives us as much energy every minute as mankind utilizes in a year. At present, because of the lack of scientific knowledge, we use this energy indirectly, and it is our only final source of power. Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago. Waterpower results from the sun's creating vapor and subsequent rain. Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating effects of the use this immense source of energy more directly. Already, scientists have worked out a new type of energy, surprisingly efficient, in which the sun's rays are concentrated through mirrors on a tube of water to create steam.
1. The word "minute" in the first sentence most probably means ______.
2. The extent to which mankind utilizes solar energy available is approximately ______.
A.less than 1%
B.5%
C.50%
D.100% but indirectly
A B C D
A
细节题。从文章第二句话“It is reported that some scientists believe less than 1% of the solar energy fallen on the earth has been used so far．”可知：目前为止，人们只用了太阳能的1%。因此不难得出答案A。
3. Man cannot directly utilize the solar energy falling on the earth because ______.
A.only a small part of the solar energy reaches the earth
B.the sun produces different heating effects in different places
C.the sun is too distant from the earth
D.scientific knowledge is insufficient
A B C D
D
细节题。从文章第四句话“At present，because of the lack of scientific knowledge，we use this energy indirectly，and it is our only final source of power．”可知：由于人类缺少相关的科学知识，太阳能现在只是间接地在使用。因此，D选项为最佳答案。
4. The main idea of the passage is that ______.
A.the sun is our ultimate source of energy
B.the tiny fraction of the sun's energy which we use is used indirectly
C.we are making progress toward utilizing the solar energy fully
D.one device using solar energy directly has been developed

Memo
To: Mr. Louis Johnson, President From.. Margaret Ellis, Health Consultant Date: December 1, 2010 Subject. Improving Computer User's Comfort Enclosed is the report, "Improving Computer User's Comfort", which you asked me to prepare. The report summarizes current research on the effects of computers on health and recommends changes for our computer users. I interviewed over 60 employees of Far East Trade Development Company in the last six months and consulted with health experts in eye and wrist fatigue. I also reviewed all the current literature available for computer health hazards (危险). My recommendations are as follows. 1. Anti-radiation (防辐身) screens should be available for computer monitors. 2. Devices to support the wrist of the computer user should be used to help maintain proper wrist position during computer use and possibly reduce the risk of wrist illnesses. 3. Employees need adjustable chairs which can give their backs a stronger support. For the technical possibility of designing the anti-radiation screens, you may consult Mr. Joseph Miller, and for the specific application of wrist-support devices, you may consult Mr. Benjamin Stone, Technical Department. If you have any other questions or would like to discuss my recommendations, please let me know.
