Passage 1
Years age， there was a very wealthy man who， with his devoted young son， shared a passion for art collecting. Together they traveled around the world， adding only the finest art treasures to their collection. The widowed elderly man looked on with satisfaction as his only child became an experienced art collector. The son‘s trained eye and sharp business mind made his father smile with pride as they dealt with art collectors around the world.
A few weeks after his son joined the army， the elderly man received a telegram informing him that his beloved son was missing in action. The art collector anxiously awaited more news， fearing he would never see his son again. Shortly afterwards his fears were confirmed. The young man died while rushing a fellow soldier to safety. Heart-broken and lonely， the old man faced the upcoming Christmas holidays with sadness. The joy of the season—a season that he and his son had so looked forward to in the past—would no longer visit his house.
On Christmas morning， the depressed old man was visited by a soldier with a large package in his hand. The soldier introduced himself as his son‘s friend. “I was the one he was rescuing when he died，” he told the old man. As the two began to talk， the soldier mentioned how the man’s son had told everyone of his—and his father‘s—love of fine artwork. “I’m also an artist，” said the soldier， “and I want to give you this.” As the old man began to unwrap the package， paper gave way to reveal a portrait of the man‘s son. Though the world would never consider it a work of talent， the painting showed the young man’s face in striking detail.
Overcome with emotion， the old man thanked the soldier， promising to hang the portrait above the fireplace. After the soldier departed， the old man set about his task. As he promised， the painting went above the fireplace， pushing aside thousands of dollars worth of paintings. And then the old man sat in his chair and spent Christmas gazing at the gift. In the days that followed， the man learned that his son had rescued dozens of wounded soldiers before a bullet killed him. As stories of his son‘s bravery continued to reach him， fatherly pride and satisfaction began to ease his grief. The painting of his son became his most prized possession. He told his neighbors it was the greatest gift he had ever received.
The following spring， the old man was ill and passed away. The art world was looking forward to an auction（拍卖） on Christmas Day， where， according to the will of the old man， all of his art works would be sold.
The day finally arrived and art collectors from around the world gathered to bid（竞价） on some of the world‘s most spectacular paintings. Dreams could be fulfilled this day； greatness could be achieved as some people could say， “I have the greatest collection.” The auction began with a painting that was not on any museum list. It was the painting of the old man’s son. The auctioneer asked for an opening bid， but the room was silent.
“Who‘ll open the bidding with $100？” he asked. Moments passed in silence. Then from the back of the room came， “Who cares about that painting？ It’s just a picture of his son. Let‘s get on to the good ones.” More voices echoed in agreement. “No， we have to sell this one first，” replied the auctioneer. “Now who’ll take the son？” Finally， a friend of the old man spoke， “Will you take $10 for the painting？ That‘s all I have.” “Will anyone go higher？” called the auctioneer. After more silence he said， “Going once， going twice … Gone！” The gavel（槌） fell. Cheers filled the room and someone shouted， “Now we can get on with it and bid on those treasures！”
The auctioneer looked at the audience and announced that the auction was over. Disbelief quieted the room. Then someone spoke up， “What do you mean？ We didn‘t come here for a portrait of some old man’s son！ What about all of the other paintings？ There are millions of dollars worth of artwork here. We demand an explanation！” The auctioneer replied， “It‘s very simple. According to the will of the father， whoever takes the son … gets it all.”
51. Which of the following indicates the father‘s emotional change concerning the news about his son？
A. pride—fear—shock—depression
B. disappointment—sadness—loneliness—satisfaction

Passage 2
The migration（迁徙） of birds usually refers to the regular flights between their summer and winter homes. Except for those that nest in the tropics（热带地区）， nearly all North American birds migrate. Some travel great distances while others go only a short way.
This seasonal movement has long been a mystery. Aristotle， an ancient Greek naturalist and philosopher， noticed that geese， swans， doves and many other birds moved to warmer places for winter. He started superstitions that were believed for hundreds of years. For example， he thought that many birds spent winter time sleeping in hollow trees， caves， or beneath the mud in marshes.
Many scientists believe that birds migrate from north to south because of bad weather. These birds began this journey originally because they were driven southward by the advancing ice age.
Many birds feed almost entirely upon insects. Another theory holds that birds migrate to areas with plentiful insects. When winter arrives， insects disappear and the birds would starve unless they moved southward. You may wonder， then， why insect eaters fly north again with the coming of spring， when there are many insects at winter homes.
A more realistic theory is that birds have a lasting impression of the birth place， resulting in a lifelong urge to return to this place each spring.
Recently scientists have found that length of day is the triggering force that prepares many birds for their migratory journeys. The change in length of day brings the birds into breeding condition and causes them to seek their northern nesting grounds.
In North America， it is possible to see migrating birds almost every month of the year. Some birds start south early in July， while others remain north until they are pushed out either by severe weather or by shortage of food. Soon after hardy travelers reach winter homes， other equally hardy migrants start from north on the heels of winter. In their eagerness to reach northern nesting grounds， early spring migrants sometimes arrive too soon and are caught in sudden storm and perish.
Most small birds and a good many larger ones migrate by night. Although most birds seem helpless in the dark， there are good reasons for this night-time travel. Some are poor fliers. Even good fliers may fall easy prey（猎获物） to hawks， which feed and migrate in daylight. Also， night migrants have daylight hours for feeding. Many wading and swimming birds migrate either by day or night. Such birds usually feed at all hours and rarely have to hide from enemies.
56. All the following are possible reasons why birds migrate EXCEPT .
A. bad weather
B. search for food
C. change in length of day
D. escape from enemies
57.According to one of the theories， when the spring comes， migrating birds fly north because .
A. they can not stand the heat of the southern areas
B. home instinct drives them back to their birth places
C. there is not much food at their winter homes
D. dried marshes are not suitable nesting grounds
58. A good many birds migrate by night because .
A. they can see better in darkness
B. they are more energetic at night
C. night-time flight is safer
D. night is longer than day
59. After reading this passage， we can conclude that .
A. man‘s interest in bird migration has always been superstitious
B. bird migration is not completely understood by scientists
C. night migrants are good fliers but their eyesight is poor
D. the tropics is a favorite nesting place for birds
60.The author devotes a better part of this passage to .
A. the reasons why birds migrate
B. the ways in which birds migrate
C. the routes birds take for their migration
D. the dangers birds face during their journeys
