1．A.followed B．affected
C．informed D．approached
答案：D 由下文可知，这个很瘦的男子和作者的弟弟说话了，因此这里是指他走近了作者的弟弟。approach意为“走近，靠近”。
2．A.food B．money
C．service D．advice
答案：B 由第二段的内容可知，该男子向作者他们说明了自己现在的困境，他特别提到了他需要确认返程机票的钱。由此判断，他要的是“钱”。本题很容易因为空前的he hadn't eaten for a while而误选A项，结合下文可知，单要食物并不能解决他的问题，因此可排除该项。

C．requests D．wishes
答案：C 上文中的asking for money是一种“请求”，故用request。
4．A.different B．proper
C．perfect D．short
答案：A 由空前的but可知，作者在这里将自己与弟弟进行了比较；再根据下文的叙述可知，弟弟采取了不同的(different)方法。
5．A.writer B．singer
C．painter D．teacher
答案：B 由7空后的a singing job可推知，他是一名歌手(singer)。
6．A.friend B．chance

答案：D 联系语境和后面的内容可知他从巴勒斯坦来迪拜是为了找一份工作(job)。

9．A.food B．petrol
C．clothes D．hotels
答案：A 第四段中提到作者的弟弟去售票处确认了机票，又付清了房租，因此推断这20迪拉姆应该是让他买“饭”的钱。

C．hand D．call
答案：D 由12空后的内容可知，弟弟第二天去了售票处。由此可知，此处是指他让那人第二天从航空公司的售票处给他打电话(call)。

C．promised D．sent
答案：B 上一句中有gave him 20 dirhams，该空前有also，由此可知，此处指弟弟还给了那人一张迪拜地铁的乘车卡。
12．A.Therefore B．However
C．Later D．Again
答案：C 空后的内容是后来作者发现的事情，故用later。该空后面的内容与上文没有因果或者转折关系，因此可以排除A、B两项。

C．lost D．paid
答案：D 根据上文可知，这300迪拉姆是要支付(pay)房费的。

17．A.touched B．satisfied
C．disappointed D．encouraged
答案：A 弟弟为那人做了这么多，那人应该很感动(touched)。下一句说那人回国后还与作者的弟弟保持联系，也可以看出这一点。
18．A.also B．even
C．almost D．never
答案：B 回国后，他继续与弟弟保持着联系。此处指他“甚至”打国际电话给弟弟，故用even。
19．A.asking B．mentioning
C．refusing D．thanking
答案：D 联系空后的for all his help可知，那人打电话给弟弟是为了“感谢”他对自己的帮助。
20．A.history B．thought

答案：C 文中所描述的作者弟弟的行为体现出的是一种人性之善，这给作者上了宝贵的一课。human kindness意为“人性之善”。
Ⅳ.阅读理解
If you're out for a walk and a bird in a tree says to you “Hello there！”， don't worry, you're not going mad.
Naturalists have reported a growing phenomenon of pet parrots that have been taught to repeat phrases by their owners before escaping from their cages and then passing on the technique to the wild flocks they join. “Hello there！”“Hello darling！” and ”What's happening？“ are among the chorus of comments that flocks of wild birds have been repeating after picking up words and sentences from other birds that were once household pets.
Naturalist Martyn Robinson said: “We've had people calling us thinking they've had something put into their drink because they've gone out to look at the flock of birds in their back yard and all the birds have been saying something like ‘Who's a pretty boy, then？’”
Mr. Robinson, who is based at the Australian Museum in Sydney, said the usual sequence of events saw a caged parrot of some kind which had been taught phrases but had then made its escape. It would then join a wild flock and chatter away in the trees, its words being learned by younger birds in the flock. The older ones would be unlikely to start learning. When chicks are horn, they hear the words being spoken by the older birds and grow up repeating the phrases. And so it continues, generation after generation.
Mr. Robinson said that because of a drought in the western regions of New South Wales, flocks of wild bird “speakers” among them have been flying to Sydney, where more food is available, and have been hanging around suburban gardens.
From the tree tops in gardens, from chimney pots and lamp posts, the flocks have been talking away, leaving many people wondering if their minds were playing tricks on them.
“These birds are very smart and very social, meaning that communication and contact is important between them，” said Mr. Robinson. “I just hope a pet bird that's been taught dirty words doesn't join a flock because we don't want to hear that kind of thing going around the back gardens.”
文章大意：本文是时文阅读。很多悉尼居民可以在自家的花园中听到一群野生鹦鹉在树梢上对他们说，“你好”“出什么事了”，这是为什么呢？
1．When people heard a flock of birds say “Hello there！”， they felt ________.
A．there was something wrong with their minds

2．Flocks of wild bird “speakers” have been flying to Sydney because ________.
A．they are following some escaped pet parrots
B．it is easy for them to find food in Sydney
C．there are fewer birds left in New South Wales
D．they are on their way of migration
答案：B 细节理解题。从文章倒数第三段可知，这些会说话的野生鹦鹉从新南威尔士州飞到了悉尼，原因是新南威尔士州大旱，缺少食物，而悉尼有很多食物。

a．People hear a bird in a tree say “Hello there！”．
b．The pet parrot escaped from its cage.

B．younger birds are most likely to learn the language from the escaped parrots
C．parrots can learn to speak from each other, whether old or young
D．parrots flock together because they speak the same language
答案：B 细节判断题。从文章第四段的第二、三、四句可知，幼鸟更有可能跟选出来的会说话的宠物鹦鹉学习人类的习惯用语，故选B。

A．a flock of parrots can only pick up some simple sentences
B．parrots cannot learn to say dirty words
C．parrots can even pick up dirty words
D．a pet parrot is forbidden to be taught dirty words
答案：C 推理判断题。文章最后一段表明，这位博物学家担心鹦鹉学会说脏话，因此C项正确。
