Migration，in biology, is the movement of animals to a place that offers better living conditions．Many birds，fishes，insects，and mammals regularly migrate to   16   unfavorable changes in weather or food supply．

Many animals begin their migrations after unfavorable environmental conditions  25 ．But among other species，the factors that trigger（引发）migrations are more difficult to explain．Experiments show that changes in day length   26   the migrations of many species of birds．In spring，the   27   hours of daylight trigger the release of certain hormones in the bodies of the birds．Hormones are chemical substances that regulate many body functions．  28  ，the hormones prepare the birds for the northward trip．

Passage 1
    Britain has always been a neighbor of France，separated only by the 20-mile seaway of the English Channel. And for most of the time that the two countries have existed，the French and the British have been rivals or even enemies. One conflict between the two countries lasted over 100 years，and the British and French were at war through the 18th century.
Those were not just local difficulties. When Americans rebelled against British rule，thousands of French soldiers fought alongside them，and paid by France. Without the conflict between Britain and France，there would probably have been no America.
There is no fighting now, of course. But there is still a strong sense of rivalry between the two nations. That’s why a recent survey in the UK caused a major shock.
It revealed that one third of the British people would like to live in France. It also showed that 21 per cent of British people would actually prefer to have been born in France.
    Many reasons were given. France has a better climate and a more relaxed lifestyle，with some of the longest holidays in Europe. It is thought to have better public services in every area from health to transport. People in France work shorter hours and enjoy longer vacations. And think of the food!
    Others point to what they call “football diplomacy.” French players like Thierry Henry and managers like Arsene Wenger have revolutionized British attitudes towards France. It’s true that many British people only respect nations that play football well. And that may indicate why so many people want to leave England!
But this may be part of a more general cultural change. Growing numbers of people in Britain drink wine instead of beer and coffee instead of tea. They pay more attention to the way they dress. In some ways，they are becoming more French.
    Estimates of the numbers of Britons living in France range from 1 00,000 to half a million. But it is not one-way traffic. Around 15,000 French people per year come to live in Britain, mainly setting in London. They are attracted by higher pay in Britain，lower taxes，a more dynamic lifestyle and work in Britain，where there are greater economic opportunities.
    Now the citizens of the European Union are free to move between countries within the EU which have different social systems. Some are more socially conservative. Others offer better public services and a more relaxed lifestyle. Traditionally, debates over these issues have been part of the politics of European nation states. Now it seems that people can go to the place that suits them best.
    So perhaps the British are not becoming more French. Instead，both the French and the British are becoming more European.
41. The survey caused a shock because it shows that ______.
A. British people think France has better public services
B. France has a better climate and a more relaxed lifestyle
C. people in France work shorter hours and enjoy longer holidays
D. more than 30 percent of the British people would like to live in France
42. The underlying meaning of “And think of the food!” in Paragraph 5 is that the food in France is ______.
A. much cheaper       B. more delicious
C. more expensive       D. more disgusting
43. The “football diplomacy” has changed some British people’s ______.
A. taste in food       B. style in fashion
C. image of France       D. attitudes to football
44. In the 8th paragraph，from the sentence “But it is not one-way traffic”, we can infer that ______.
A. some French people prefer to live in Britain as well
B. some British people prefer to live in France as well
C. people can drive back and forth between the two countries
D. people can drive on both sides of the roads in the two countries
45. What is the intention of the author?
A. To inform.         B. To argue.
C. To judge.         D. To persuade.
Passage 2
    I still recall a scene from an otherwise totally forgettable movie I saw many years ago. A business executive in a suit and tie，carrying a briefcase，is walking home after a typically stressful day at the office. He passes a neighbour’s lawn where a group of small children are playing with a garden hose that someone has left running on the grass.
    The man watches the laughing and screaming children with a smile on his face. Then，after looking around to make sure no one is looking，he throws off his business suit，drops the briefcase，and rushes to join the fun.
    The man’s face is filled with joyful abandon as，wearing only shorts and vest，he turns his body to meet the full impact of the gushing hose. The next scene shows him back in his suit，continuing his way home and looking a little sheepish，as he adjusts his features to assume，once more，the appearance of calm respectability.
    How often do we look back at the pure，spontaneous joys of childhood—to a time when joy was pure and full，unchecked by the feelings of guilt or concern for propriety? The thrill of a forbidden expedition to a pond or the delight of watching the matchstick flare up between one’s fingers.
    I remember that time when，as a small child，my eager little fingers touched the hong bao that I had been given by a visitor on the first day of the Chinese New Year, and felt—joy of joys! —the welcome flatness of paper money instead of the hardness of coins.
    I shouted for joy and called attention to my new wealth，unaware of my mother’s embarrassment as she cast a quick glance at the visitor. Later, after the guest had left， she told me in a severe voice never to do such a “shameful” thing again. What would people think?
    Oh，for the return of lost innocence and the capacity for pure joy. Yet the truth is that no matter how endearing a child’s spontaneity of feelings and action，it would be unrealistic to allow these emotions to carry over to adult life. The business of living is a serious one，necessarily regulated by an array of customs，codes and norms to ensure the smooth function of day-to-day life：at home or at work，in the private or public domain.
    There are “dos and don’ts” related to polite，socially acceptable behaviour，that ensure we act in the correct way，use the proper forms of address，and express our feelings in ways that do not offend others.
Yet the need for playfulness seems to be a permanent feature of the human condition. It is inseparable，even in the most serious adult. Sometimes，during parties and games，this force is allowed to break through the smooth surface of social respectability；for a few brief moments it is all right for adults to engage in horseplay.
    Witness the wild abandon with which partygoers throw each other into the swimming pool，put on crazy masks and play silly games. The rest of the time we are required to be mature，disciplined adults carrying on the serious business of living.
   But，once again，for the return of lost innocence! The greatest loss of all，even greater than the loss of pure enjoyment，is the loss of a sense of wonder. This is the special gift of childhood：the ability to see the world with fresh eyes，treating the most ordinary objects and happenings with keen curiosity and fascination.
    To reclaim the child’s sense of wonder, to be attentive to the marvels that surround us，whether these be the everyday beauties of nature，the warmth of human contact，or the extraordinary achievements of modern technology, is not only to save ourselves from the tiredness of living，but to enrich our lives will a special spiritual dimension.
