题文

Every spring scores of people flock to the Buzzard Festival at Hinckley, Ohio. They come to watch for buzzards. Most would be glad just to take a look at a buzzard. If they do e one of the" flying garbage cans", it will probably be circling high in the sky. From there it can watch the ground for signs of the waste and the dead animals on which it feeds. The buzzard is the ugliest bird in the United States. In fact, it may well be the ugliest bird in the world. It has a small, bare, pink head. Its thick body is covered with dark, rough feathers. In spite of its looks, the buzzard is important to the people of Hinckley. It is their first sign of spring. After a winter in the south, buzzards return to their homes in the north. In the Hinckley area, they always return on March 15. No one knows why. But they have come back to Hinckley Ridge on that day, sure as clocks work, for at least forty years. The excitement starts in February. By the middle of March it has reached a high peak. Bets are placed. Prizes go to the person who es the first buzzard. Radio stations and newspapers tell of the coming festival. And on the weekend after March 15 the people of Hinckley hold their Buzzard Festival. The people come and look around. They chat. They eat their fill of pancakes and sausages. Then they drive past Buzzard's Roost on Hinckley Ridge. A lot of them stop near the road at the stand t up to give information to visitors. There they can hear, from a recording, the main facts about the buzzard. They can e a stuffed buzzard. They can look at some pictures taken of buzzards in other years. With good luck and a strong pair of field glass, they may sight one or two live buzzards high in the sky. Buzzards may be ugly. They may be "flying garbage cans". But in Hinckley they are just as welcome as the swallows in Capistrano, California. It would be a sad spring indeed if the buzzards ever failed to come back to Hinckley Ridge. 小题1:A good title for this story would be __________.A．The Hinckley Buzzard FestivalB．Buzzard, the Ugliest BirdC．Why the Buzzard Has a Pink HeadD．The Return of“The Garbage Can"小题2:The buzzard is called the "flying garbage can" becau it __________.

答案

小题1:A小题2:B小题3:C小题4:A

解析

本文叙述了Hinckley的人们每年春天都举行秃鹰节日。秃鹰是很独特的一种动物，它吃的是地上的垃圾和死去的动物，所以人们又称它为“飞行的垃圾桶”。在每年的3月15回巢，很准确，人们在节日这天听到关于秃鹰的一些事实细节。小题1:主旨大意题。根据文章第一句就点明了主题，接下来整篇文章对以Buzzard为焦点的节日进行介绍，并不是只介绍这种鸟，所以B、D项排除，而C项在文中并没有作出说明。故选 A。小题2:细节理解题。根据From there it can watch the ground for signs of the waste and the dead animals on which it feeds.故选B。 小题3:细节理解题。根据题干要求是the surprising thing，所以A、B项不合题意，应被排除；从最后一段可知D 项是错的；C项可从第三段找到答案。No one knows why. But they have come back to Hinckley Ridge on that day, sure as clocks work, for at least forty years. 故选C。小题4:细节理解题。根据从文中倒数第二段可知答案。B项与文章不符，不是easily，而是with good luck, C项在文中没有被提到，D项不符合题干要求。故选A。点评：主旨大意题的难度较大，此类题目一般不易直接找到答案，最简单的方法是仔细研究文章开头的一二句，因为他们常是文章的主题句，然后，快速浏览文章首句和结尾句。如果第一句的主题不明，可注意结尾是否有概括总结，对选项要注意全面性和概括性。
