8、r.（分数：10.00）_Although no one is certain why migration occurs, there are several theories. One theory claims that prehistoric birds of the Northern Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age. As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south ag
9、ain as the ice advanced in winter. In time, the migration became a habit in spite of the disappearance of glaciers. Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modern birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was
10、 plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to return to the tropics. A more recent theory suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands(腺) in the birds“ bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midw
11、inter migrations by exposing birds to artificial periods of daylight. He has concluded that changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight.（分数：10.00）(1).According to one theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds _.（分数：2.00）A.stopped migratingB.continued mig
12、ratingC.stayed in the northD.migrated south and stayed there(2).The author states that birds left the tropics because _.（分数：2.00）A.there was not enough food there in the winterB.there were too many birdsC.there were too many glaciersD.there was too much daylight(3).Why did one scientist expose birds

15、assage supports the belief that _.（分数：2.00）A.exact reasons for migration are not knownB.birds migrate because of changes in temperatureC.the ancestral home of all birds was the tropicsD.glaciers caused birds to migrateIn Guangzhou, capital of South China“s Guangdong Province, Guangzhou Baiyun Intern

23、 AirportIt is curious how often sympathy for the old and infirm takes a form which actually humiliates them.

24、ntemporaries. An equally humiliating habit is to talk about old people in front of them as if they were not there, discussing their health.
