23、Have you ever heard the sound of a hummingbird? They make a buzzing noise when they fly. They make this noise because they beat their wings so fast. They beat their wings up to 80 times a second. All that flapping makes a lot of noise. That’s why we call them hummingbirds.
Hummingbirds fly in a unique way. They move their wings so fast that they can hover. This means that they can stay in one spot in the middle of the air, like a helicopter. Sometimes they fly upside down. They are the only bird that flies backward.
Hummingbirds are small. One type called the bee hummingbird is the smallest bird in the world. Bee hummingbirds weigh less than a penny. They are just a little bit bigger than bees. I guess that’s why they get their name.
Hummingbirds move fast. It takes lots of energy to move as fast as they do. This means that they need to eat a lot of food. Their favorite food is nectar, a sweet liquid inside of some flowers. They drink more than their own weight of nectar daily. They have to visit hundreds of flowers to get enough nectar to live. They can only store enough energy to survive through the night. They live on the edge.
Hummingbirds help flowers too. They get pollen(花粉) on their heads and bills(鸟嘴) when they feed. Flowers use pollen to make seeds. Hummingbirds help pollen get from one flower to the next. This helps flowers make more seeds. More seeds mean more flowers. More flowers mean more food for hummingbirds. Isn’t it nice how that works out?
【1】Why are they called hummingbirds?
A．They are very light.
B．They sing when they fly.
C．Their wings make a humming sound.
D．Their songs sound like humming.
【2】Which best defines the word “hover” as used in Paragraph 2?
A．To stay in one spot in the air.
B．To clean an area completely.
C．An animal that looks like a helicopter.
D．To move the wings very fast.
【3】Which best describes the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A．Something move fast.
B．Hummingbirds like eating nectar.
C．Hummingbirds use lots of energy and eat often.
D．Hummingbirds drink as much as their own weight in nectar every day.
【4】How do hummingbirds help flowers?
A．They drink nectar from one flower to the next.
B．They eat pollen from every flower.
C．They bring pollen from one flower to the next.
D．They plant seeds from one place to the next.
【5】Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A．Some interesting facts about small birds.
B．Pollination: how birds and flowers work together.
C．Bee hummingbirds: the world’s smallest birds.
D．Hummingbirds: unique and uniquely helpful.

24、根据短文内容及首字母提示，写出所缺单词，使短文内容完整、正确。
Yancheng National Nature Reserve in Jiangsu was set up in 1983. More than three million wild birds live there all year r【1】. People can visit the wetland any time, but they mustn’t fish or hunt there. S【2】 , some people killed wild animals in both Yancheng and other nature reserves in the past years. Once, five young men wanted to kill wild ducks with poisonous(有毒的) food and s【3】 them for money. The police caught two of them when they came back days later t【4】 pick up the dead ducks. Soon people took away all the poisonous food from the reserve. Ten people stayed at that place and s【5】 birds from getting there. However, at last, the poisonous food killed about 200 wild ducks.
