2.A saw-whet owl(貓頭鷹)is recovering at a wildlife refuge in New York state after it was discovered glued to the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree.The bird was found by workers helping to transport the tree 170 miles from Oneonta to New York City.
"It's just a story out of a movie," said Ravensbeard Wildlife Center director Ellen Kalish,who is caring for the owl.
After the owl - now named Rockefeller - was dropped off with Ms Kalish and taken to the wildlife centre,her team began giving him fluids and "all the mice he will eat".Rockefeller had not had anything to eat or drink during his three-day road trip. "It's amazing he didn't get hurt," Ms Kalish said.
Rockefeller was taken to the vet on Wednesday night for a check-up and some X-rays,but Ms Kalish said he appears to be in great condition considering his adventurous week.
Diminutiveas Rockefeller is,he is a full-grown adult.Saw-whet owls are the smallest owls in the US north-east,Ms Kalish said,typically growing to no more than 8.3 in (17-21cm) tall.
"They're a very interesting species," Ms Kalish said.They are "very" nocturnal,meaning they're typically not seen unless someone is looking for them.Some migrate south for the winter,and some don't migrate at all.
Once Rockefeller has a clean bill of health,Ms Kalish and the Ravensbeard team will release him back into the wild. "Our goal is to release any bird that can be released," she said.
There are about two million saw-whet owls across the US,so Rockefeller will be OK if he doesn't make it all the way back to Oneonta. "They find a new mate each year and go on with their lives," she said.
With all the bad news of 2020,this little owl's rescue "was a story that needed to be shared",Ms Kalish said.
(1)Where was the owl stuck?
A.On a tree.
B.On a truck.
C.In New York City.
D.At the wildlife centre.
(2)What was the owl first offered after arriving at the wildlife centre?
A.A medical examination.
B.Food and drink.
C.Christmas gifts.
D.A three-day road trip.
(3)What does the underlined word "diminutive" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Weak.
B.Mature.
C.Interesting.
D.Tiny.
(4)What will be done to the owl if it is confirmed in good condition?
A.Be sent to a zoo.
B.Be kept at the center.
C.Be sent back to nature.
D.Be sent back to Oneonta.組卷:5引用:1難度:0.5 -
3.It's become an accepted part of keeping up to date with extended family and friends,but if schoolchildren were in their parents' shoes,the majority wouldn't share posts of their sons and daughters online.Over 55% said they would not upload news about,or images of,their children to their social media feeds,according to survey of over 16,000 pupils by Votes for Schools.
While some were concerned about being embarrassed or the longevity of content which could remain online indefinitely,others expressed concern about their personal data being compromised.One of the pupils surveyed said, "Although our parents mean well,sometimes the consequence of a post can be disastrous."
In response to the survey,children's mental health charity Place2 Be and law firm Mishcon de Reya have produced three films ahead of the Christmas holidays - the best period for parental oversharing.
In one video,about safety online,10-year-old Adavan said, "If you share anything with your family,you know who's going to see it.But if you share it publicly,there are millions of people who can see your picture."
Joe Hancock,a security lead at Mishcon de Reya,encouraged parents to share wisely. "Simple steps,such as checking your privacy settings and asking others not to share content of your children on their accounts if they have not updated their privacy settings,are a good start.And,as we found out from the children during filming,having their permission is key," he said.
The study marks a shift away from the usual debate about teaching children to use the Internet safely.Sandra Davis,head of the law firm's family department,said, "Children are the experts on the real and immediate impact of sharenting (曬娃)- the full extent of which we cannot know yet.We must ensure we listen to children and take their views into consideration now in order to avoid any unintended consequences further down the line."
(1)What's most pupils' attitude towards sharing posts about children?
A.Skeptical.
B.Unconcerned.
C.Tolerant.
D.Unwilling.
(2)What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A.Summarize the previous paragraph.
B.Provide some advice for parents.
C.Predict the consequence of sharing posts.
D.Give reasons for the result of the survey.
(3)What should parents first pay attention to according to Joe Hancock?
A.Safety.
B.Consequence.
C.Wisdom.
D.Health.
(4)What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Parents should take children's opinions into account.
B.Parents should teach children to use the Internet safely.
C.Children must make sure to listen to their parents.
D.Children should avoid unintended consequences of sharenting.組卷:6引用:4難度:0.6

When I was ten years old,I was a grade four primary school student in a small town.I had a happy time at school because I had a few good friends there.We usually spent our spare time together,doing our homework,going to the amusement park,playing with our pets,and sharing our happiness and sorrows together.But everything changed when my parents decided to change their jobs and moved to a bigger city.I even had no time to say good-bye to my old friends and teachers.
As I moved to the new city,I began my school life in a totally new school with new surroundings,new teachers and new classmates.During the first week,I felt lonely when I was at school.My classmates knew each other,but they didn't know me,which added to my loneliness and sadness.That week day after day,I was sitting on my seat,pretending to be reading.How I secretly wished that someone would come to me and introduce himself to me or even play a trick on me,but disappointingly,nobody came.
Then one day,when my parents sent me to the bus station and said good bye to me,I didn't get on the bus to school as usual.Instead,I walked and walked on the street,looking at the beautiful window displays and forgetting everything,with no worry about the new school,new teachers and new classmates.Then my empty stomach stopped me and I used my pocket money to have a bowl of noodles in a small restaurant.It was noon at the time,but still I didn't want to go to school or go home.So I went to a park and sat on the bench,staring at the sky.And then I had a nap.When I woke up,I decided to go back to my hometown,where my former teachers and friends lived.So I went to the railway station.There I was stopped by a policeman,who asked for my ID card,which I didn't have at the time.Then the policeman called someone and I was asked to stay with him.
