9．"Birds"and"airports"are two words that，paired together，don't normally paint the most harmonious picture．So it really raises some eyebrows when China announces plans to build an airport that5s for birds．Described as the world's first-ever bird airport，the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary（保护区） in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is，of course，not an actual airport．Rather，it's a wetland preserve specifically designed to accommodate hundreds-even thousands-of daily takeoffs and landings by birds traveling along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway．Over 50species of migratory （迁徙的）water birds，some endangered，will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway．
Located on a former landfill site，the 61-hectare （150-acre） airport is also open to human travelers．（Half a million visitors are expected annually．） However，instead of duty-free shopping，the main attraction for non-egg-laying creatures at Tianjin's newest airport will be a green-roofed education and research center，a series of raised"observation platforms"and a network of scenic walking and cycling paths and trails totaling over 4miles．
The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory bird species，while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin，"Adrian McGregor of Australian landscape architecture firm McGregor Coxall explained of．the design．Frequently blanketed in smog so thick that it has shut down real airports，Tianjin is a city-China's fourth most populous-that would certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs．

分析 本文主要介绍了位于天津的"Lingang Bird Sanctuary（保护区）"，这个保护区能够帮助到迁徙的鸟类，为它们提供食物和避难地，同时也能够净化空气．此外该区域对游客开放，还能带来经济效益．
解答 32～35．CCDA
32．C 考查词意猜测．"non-egg-laying creatures"从字面上理解是"不生蛋的生物"，所以可以排除A和B．根据第三段括号内的提示"Half a million visitors are expected annually"，可知该区域是对游客开放的，主要用来吸引游客的．所以猜测出这个词指的是"游客"．故选C．
33．C 考查细节理解．根据"Over 50species of migratory （迁徙的）water birds，some endangered，will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway"可知，这个这个飞机场被用来帮助迁徙的鸟类，为它们提供食物和避难地．故选C．
34．D 考查细节理解．根据"Tianjin is a city-China's fourth most populous-that would certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs"可知，天津在将来肯定会受益于一双新的健康绿色的"肺"．而肺是用来净化空气的，所以可以推断出天津机场的空气质量将得到改善．故选D．
35．A 考查细节理解．根据"Described as the world's first-ever bird airport，the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary（保护区） in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is，of course，not an actual airport"，可知天津的这个机场，将会是中国乃至世界上第一个鸟类停机场．故选A．
