They are called “sea parrots”, and sometimes “clowns (小丑) of the sea”!

Atlantic puffins (海鹦) are small seabirds which are around 25 cm in length. They have black and white feathers and a large parrot-like beak (鸟喙). The beak changes color during the year. In winter, the beak has a dull gray color, but it turns orange in spring!

Puffins spend most of their lives out at sea, resting on the waves when not swimming. They live on the eastern coast of Canada and the United States, and the western coast of Europe.

Puffins live off small fish such as herring, hake and sand eels. Puffins flap (拍) their wings up to 400 times a minute and speeding through the air at up to 88 km an hour. Wow! What’s more, puffins can dive down 60m under water in search of their favorite fish.

In spring and summer, thousands of puffins stay together on the coasts and islands of the North Atlantic Ocean to start a puffin family. They usually pair up with the same partner as before some may have been together for 20 years! Puffins dig out a hole usually in a grassy bank. Both parents take it in turn to incubate (孵化) the egg for the next 36-45 days!

Although puffins are not classed as an endangered animal, their population in some places is becoming smaller. The main reasons are overfishing, which can lead to a shortage of food for puffins, and pollution---especially oil spills (溢出). Not only does the oil make these beautiful birds sick, it harms their feathers.

1.Where do puffins live?

A. On the western coast of Canada and the United States.

B. On the eastern coast of Europe.

C. On the coasts of the North Atlantic Ocean.

D. On the islands of the Pacific Ocean.

2.According to the passage, puffins are ______.

A. great flyers　　 B. large birds on land

C. grass-eating animals　　 D. bad swimmers

3.How do puffins breed (繁殖)?

A. They mainly breed in early autumn.

B. They pair up with different partners every year.

C. Mother puffins lay eggs on the grass or sand.

D. Father puffins also take part in incubating the eggs.

4.The population of puffins is becoming smaller because of _____.

① the bad weather along the coast

② the process of taking too many fish from the sea

③ the harm from water pollution

④ humans’ habits of eating the eggs of puffins

A. ①②　　 B. ②③

C. ③④　　 D. ①④

Much of today’s science of physics is based on Newton’s discovery of the three laws of motion and his theory of gravity ( 地球引力). Newton said, “If I saw further than other men, it was because I stood on the shoulders of giants.” One was the great Italian scientist, Galileo. Another was the Polish scientist Nicholas Copernicus, who had begun a scientific revolution. It led to a completely new understanding of how the universe worked. Galileo continued and expanded the work of Copernicus. Newton built on the ideas of these two scientists and others. He found and proved the answers for which they searched.

Issac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, England, on December 25th, 1642. He was born early and no one expected him to survive. He lived until he was 84. His father died before he was born. His mother married again. He lived with his grandma on the family farm.

As a boy, he liked to make things. He also decided to find a different way to measure the speed of the wind. On a windy day, he measured how far he could jump with the wind at his back. Then he measured how far he could jump with the wind in his face. From the difference between the two jumps, he made his own measure of the strength of the wind. Strangely, Newton became a much better student after a boy kicked him in the stomach. The boy was one of the best of the students　 in the school. Newton decided to get even with him by getting higher marks than the boy kicking him. Newton became the top student at the school very soon.

1.As a boy, what was Newton like?

A. He was too weak to survive.

B. He was determined to study math.

C. He liked to find out new ways to solve problems.

D. He tended to stud y math on the family farm.

2.We can know from the text that the theories of Newton, Galileo, and Copernicus focus on ____.

A. how the universe works　　 B. the three laws of motion

C. a scientific revolution　　 D. the theory of gravity

3.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. One of the history’s greatest scientists.

B. Issac Newton---History’s greatest scientist.

C. One of the world’s greatest scientists, Issac Newton.

D. Issac Newton and his laws.

高一英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

DNA（Deoxyribonucleic acid）is one of the most important discoveries in science. DNA is the plan for the human being，as a blueprint is the plan for building. DNA makes a person look the way he does. A person’s DNA comes from a mixing of his parents’ DNA. That’s why a child looks like his parents. But，besides controlling things such as height and hair color，DNA can also give people diseases. Scientists are now studying DNA to cure（治疗） diseases. 　　　　　

In the seventies, scientists developed a process called recombinant (重新组合) or RDNA. Although it sounds difficult to understand，RDNA simply means taking DNA from one animal or plant and putting it into another. By doing so，scientists can create new beings. In doing so，scientists can better understand DNA, especially what parts of DNA do. After they understand DNA，scientists can begin to cure diseases. Often，the new being created itself will be the cure.

Besides curing diseases，RDNA research can also do other things. For example, scientists in Japan have already created “super-trees”. Trees help humans，because they take CO2, which poisons humans, from the air and turns it into oxygen, which lets humans breathe. “Super-trees” do this too，but do it much faster. As things such as cars and factories have already put much CO2 in the area，“super-trees” are badly needed.　　　　　　　　　　

Unfortunately，there is serious danger in RDNA research. Scientists want to create animals to cure old diseases，but these new animals may also create new diseases. It will be a serious problem if the animals escape from the science laboratory and into nature. As these animals are not natural, they may let loose many new powerful diseases.　　　　　　　　　　

As a result，RDNA research will create many solutions（解决方案），but it will also create many problems.

1.From the passage, we can know that a boy looks like his parents because　　　　　 .

A. he is son of his parents

B. his parents’ DNA decides his appearance

C. he has received DNA from his father or his mother

D. scientists have put some of his parents’ DNA into him

2.The following statements are true about RDNA research EXCEPT　　　　

A. RDNA research will benefit human beings a lot

B. super-trees might be widely planted around the world

C. scientists have not completely understood DNA

D. the research has been stopped because the created animals carry virus (病毒)

3.What does the underlined expression “let loose” in　 paragraph 4 probably mean？

A. let．．．go free　　 B. get rid of (去除)　　 C. absorb (吸收)　　 D. survive

4.What is the best title for the passage？

A. The DNA Research in Japan

B. A New Way of DNA Research in Japan

C. The Advantages and Disadvantages of RDNA

D. The Causes and Effects of DNA Research
