问题 单项选择题

①雾遮没了正对着后窗的一带山峰.②我还不知道这些山峰叫什么名儿.我来此的第一夜就看到那最高的一座山的顶巅像钻石装饰的宝冕似的灯火.那时我的房里还没有电灯,每晚上在暗中默坐凝望这半空的一片光明,使我记起了儿时所读的童话.实在的呢,这排列得很整齐的依稀分为三层的火球,衬着黑魃魃的山峰的背景,无论如何,是会引起非人间的缥缈的思想的.③但在白天看来,却就平凡得很.并排的五六个山峰,差不多高低,就只最西的一峰戴着一簇房子,其余的仅只有树;中间最大的一峰竟还有濯濯的一大块,像是癞子头上的疮疤.④现在那照例的晨雾把什么都遮没了;就是稍远的电线杆也躲得毫无踪影.⑤渐渐地太阳光从浓雾中钻出来了.那也是可怜的太阳呢!光是那样的淡弱.随后它也躲开,让白茫茫的浓雾吞噬了一切,包围了大地.⑥我诅咒这抹煞一切的雾!⑦我自然也讨厌寒风和冰雪.但和雾比起来,我是宁愿后者啊!寒风和冰雪的天气能够杀人,但也刺激人们活动起来奋斗.雾,雾呀,只使你苦闷;使你颓唐阑珊,像陷在烂泥淖中,满心想挣扎,可是无从着力呢!⑧傍午的时候,雾变成了牛毛雨,像帘子似的老是挂在窗前.两三丈以外,便只见一片烟云——依然遮抹一切,只不是雾样的罢了.没有风,门前池中的残荷梗时时忽然急剧地动摇起来,接着便有红鲤鱼的活泼泼地跳跃划破了死一样平静的水面.⑨我不知道红鲤鱼的轨外行动是不是为了不堪沉闷的压迫在我呢既然没有杲杲的太阳,便宁愿有疾风大雨,很不耐这愁雾的后身的牛毛雨老是像帘子一样挂在窗前.

A type of bird that is now extinct (消失) is the passenger pigeon. The passenger pigeon lived in the eastern part of North America. Scientists believe that in the year 1500 there were as many as five billion of these birds living from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. They flew at great speeds and would travel to many places to look for food. Passenger pigeons grew to be about 16 inches long.

Settlers who came to North America killed the passenger pigeon for food and for its feathers. The forests where they lived were cut down to clear the land for farming. Because the passenger pigeon laid only one egg at a time, their population did not grow quickly. The last passenger pigeon died at Cincinnati Zoological Gardens in 1914.

Another type of bird that has become extint is the dodo. The dodo lived on an island called Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It had short, stubby legs and wings and a large curved beak. The dodo was about the size of a large turkey. It was acturally related to the pigeon, but it could not fly. Like the passenger pigeon it laid only one egg at a time. Dodos became extinct because they were eaten by sailors and animals, such as pigs and monkeys, that the sailors brought to the island. The dodo is believed to have died out in 1680.

Another flightless bird that has become extinct is the moa. The moa lived on the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Like the dodo, the moa’s legs were shorter, but some of these birds grew to be more than ten feet tall. And the causes of its extinction is the same as the dodo’s.   The moa is believed to have died out sometime during the 1700s.
