三、任务型阅读Every year, millions of birds are killed or hurt when they fly into buildings. Why does this happen? 1. A Birds are flying into windows and tall buildings that are all covered by glass.Many birds fly from one place to another. Most of the time, they live in the wild, such as forests and wetlands. 2. C They might see small trees and flowers inside a window and want to rest on these plants. The birds do not know there is glass between them and the plants. 3. DSome birds fly at night. They use the moon and stars to help guide them in the right direction. Tall buildings with lights on at night can confuse (使迷惑) the birds. 4. G The birds see the light, but they cannot tell that the light is coming from inside a building. They fly toward the light and crash into a building. On many mornings, there might be several dead birds lying on the ground.5. B Many office buildings now turn off their lights at night. This helps reduce the number of birds that fly into buildings and it also helps save energy.

答案： 1. A 根据“Why does this happen?”可知,空处应是解释背后的原因,结合“... windows and tall buildings that are all covered by glass.”可知,与玻璃有关,A 项意为“答案是玻璃。”,符合语境。
2. C 根据“Most of the time, they live in the wild, such as forests and wetlands.”可知,大多数时候,它们生活在野外,比如森林和湿地,所以对于玻璃没有概念,C 项意为“这些鸟不知道玻璃是什么。”,符合语境。
3. D 根据“The birds do not know there is glass between them and the plants.”可知,鸟儿不知道它们和植物之间有玻璃,所以就撞上了。
4. G 根据“Tall buildings with lights on at night can confuse the birds.”可知,这里是说夜晚亮着灯的高楼大厦会迷惑鸟类这一问题。
5. B 根据“Many office buildings now turn off their lights at night. This helps reduce the number of birds that fly into buildings and it also helps save energy.”可知,本段是讲对于这一问题人们采取的解决办法。
