14、要生活在美国的南部,排除B项;更没有提及它们给环境带来了巨大的危害,排除C项。2.B猜测词义题。根据后面的描述可知人们大量捕杀这种鸟,把它们卖到饭店。由此推断出这种鸟的数量众多给它们带来了灾难。所以答案为B项。escape逃跑,避开;ruin衰落的原因,祸根;liberation解放;evolution进化,发展。3.C事实细节题。根据第三段的最后一句话The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.可知人们主要是为了钱才大量捕杀这种鸟的,所以答案为C项。其他三项文中均未提及。4.B推理判断题。根据最后一段的描述可知

15、尽管密歇根州于1897年通过了禁止捕杀旅鸽的法律,但是在此之前的10年里人们已经没有见过有一定规模的鸟群飞过密歇根州了。由此推断出该法律颁布得太晚了,所以答案为B项。长难句It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeonsa number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it

16、perhaps the most abundant bird in the world.据估算,在这种鸟的数量达到最高值的时候,有超过30亿只这个数量相当于全美国鸟类数量的24%到40%,这或许使它成为了世界上数量最多的鸟类。本句中出现了It was+过去分词+that句式,that从句中when引导的是时间状语从句,there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons为主句。破折号后是同位语,对前面的数量进行解释和说明,making it.是现在分词短语作结果状语。Passage 3（2014课标全国,C） 词数:286A typical lion
