题目内容
Next autumn when you see wild geese (大雁) heading south for the winter flying in a V formation you might think about what scientists have discovered as to why they fly that way.
As each bird flaps (拍打) its wings, it creates an uplift (上升力) for the bird immediately following. By flying in a V formation the whole group adds at least 71% greater flying range (航程) than if each bird flies on its own.
People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the push of one another.
When a wild goose falls out of the formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance (阻力) of trying to go alone and quickly tries to get back into the formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front. When the head goose gets tired, it flies back into the formation and another goose flies to the front. It is wise to take turns doing difficult jobs whether it be people or wild geese flying south.
Wild geese honk (发出雁叫声) from behind to inspire those up front to keep up their speed. What can we learn from this?
When a wild goose gets sick or wounded by gunshots, and falls out of the formation, two other geese will fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They will stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies, and only then will they go on with their own or with another formation to catch up with their group.
1.Wild geese fly in a V formation in order to ________.
A. protect themselves from danger

2.If a wild goose falls out of the V formation, _______.
A. the other geese will call it back
B. the other geese will fly with it

A. We should try to lead others to move forward.
B. We should give people facing difficulties encouragement.
C. We should believe in those who offer us help.
D. We should care more about the old and sick.

【解析】
试题分析：本文是一篇说明文。介绍了大雁南飞习惯排成V字行队伍，关于这个课题，科学家作了调查研究，发现大雁的飞行方向与其群体感和群体方向有关。
1.B细节辨析题。By flying in a V formation the whole group adds at least 71% greater flying range (航程) than if each bird flies on its own.“以V字飞行能使整个团体比单个的行程多至少百分之71”；故答案为B。
2.C细节辨析题。When a wild goose falls out of the formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance (阻力) of trying to go alone and quickly tries to get back into the formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front. “如果一只野生大雁脱离了V字型队伍，它会突然感受到空气的阻力，并且很快回到队伍以利用领头鸟的抬升力。”故答案为C。
3.B推理判断题。根据第五段Wild geese honk (发出雁叫声) from behind to inspire those up front to keep up their speed.“野生大雁从后面发出叫声鼓励前面的大雁保持速度。”根据句意联想到人类社会，可知答案为B。
4.When a wild goose gets sick or wounded by gunshots, and falls out of the formation, two other geese will fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection.“ 一旦有只野雁生病或是受了枪伤跟不上队伍，那么两只野雁将会退出队伍陪伴这只野雁，并给予帮助和保护。”故答案为C。

Step one: get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent, or a coach. And don't forget about your friends. They might be worried about the same test or have had similar problems.
Step two: don't freak out(崩溃)! Notice your feelings, and name them — for example, "I am so angry!" And say or think about why you feel that way. Find a way to calm down and get past the upset feelings and find a way to express them. Do breathing exercises, listen to music, or do whatever helps you shift to a better mood.
Step three: don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. You should be kind to yourself and ask for the helping hand or pat on the back that you need — and deserve — to get you through the tough situation you're facing.
Step four: try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to get down to business. You need to figure out what the problem is. Even if you can't solve all of it, maybe you can begin by solving a piece of it.
Step five: be positive --- most stress is temporary. It may not seem like it when you're in the middle of a stressful situation, but stress does go away, often when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.
These five steps aren't magic, and you might have to do some steps more than once, but they do work.
