One city will go dark to protect birds
Starting April 1, Philadelphia is beginning a program called Lights Out Philly.Bird Safe Philly is asking building owners and people who live in the area to turn offall outside lights that arent needed between 12 oclock in the midnight and 6oclock in the morning, Pennsylvania Plst reported. So far, many of the citys bestknownand tallest buildings will be taking part in.
The main goal of the effort is to help protect migrating(迁徙) birds. Many birds die along the way. Except the human actions, one of the biggest dangers comes fromthings humans have built. Experts say that one billion birds may die every year inthe US alone as a result of flying into tall buildings.
Other tall buildings, such as electricity lines and cell towers also lead to manybird deaths. Many migrating birds die because of getting confused(困惑的) by theglass and lights of buildings. The windows can reflect things like the sky or tree branches(树枝), which cause birds to fly directly into the glass. Bright city lightsadd another difficulty, because they think the lights are stars that guide them.
( )21. According to the news, we can know that the program is carried out all overthe US.
( )22. Bird Safe Philly manages the program.
( )23. A buildings outside lights should be off 42 hours in a week in the program.

D)信息摘錄 阅读短文,然后完成内容摘要。每空不超过三个单词遥(共5 小题,每小题2 分)Advertisements are everywhere! Theyre on the radio and TV, in the newspapersand magazines, and on buses and buildings. Companies have advertised their productsby giving their products to film stars, pop stars and sports stars to wear or use since afew years ago so that fans will buy them in order to copy the stars.
But this kind of advertisements are no longer special, as a result they arentworking anymore. We dont like advertisements, so we try not to see them. We turnoff the advertisements on our computers, we refuse to watch them on TV, or readthem in magazines. We dont copy the stars because we know maybe they dontreally like the things they advertise.
This means advertisement companies need a new way to sell their products.They cant make their products “cool”by advertising. Teenagers wont buy thingsin advertisements just because the advertisements say they are fashionable. Thenewest way to advertise is not to advertise.
Instead of using stars, more and more companies are using teenagers. They paythem to tell their friends about new products. Teenagers dont want to dress likeeveryone else or buy the things that everyone else has. They want to look differentand create their own styles. Teenagers dont think it is cool to copy the stars or buythings theyve seen in advertisements.
Getting people to talk about the products is the best way to advertise. When theteenagers talk about products, the interest of their friends in the products will beraised, and they are more likely to buy them.
