二 完形填空
Many students of English think that learning a new language is very difficult. If your brain(大脑) is only the size of a bird's brain, how difficult learning English will be? That is what some birds can do.
Many different 1 (C) of birds can imitate(模仿) the sounds of language. African grey parrots(非洲灰鹦鹉) are a good 2 (A). Now let's have a look at the following two birds.
Every December in London, a Bird Show tries to 3 (B) the best “talking” bird in the world. One bird named Prudle 4 (D) the prize for 12 years from 1965 to 1976.
Prudle came 5 (C) Uganda, Africa. Mr Frost in England bought her. She was really 6 (C) because she knew almost 800 English words. She was also the 7 (A) bird in the world that lived in a cage. Mr Frost took care of her until she 8 (C) in 1994, at the age of 35.
A different kind of bird named Puck joined the 9 (D) in 1993. Puck was wonderful. It knew 10 (A) English words than Prudle did—over 1,700 words. It got the best 11 (B) of this year and became the new winner.
12 (A) a bird can learn a new language, anybody can do it too. We shouldn't think that 13 (C) a new language is so difficult any longer. So 14 (B) on! You can make it when you really take it 15 (D).
