On a spring morning, a student named Le Zongyan from Shenzhen Bao’an Middle School, was studying for exams while a bird kept calling loudly outside the window. He was troubled by the noise, so he wrote a letter to the headmaster, suggesting taking away the bird’s nest (巢).

The headmaster Yuan Weixing was touched by the letter. He realized the students’ need for a quiet study environment, and then he wrote a thoughtful reply.

Yuan expressed his understanding of the pressure students faced. He explained birds sing loudly for dating and communication instead of making noise. “The world does not only belong to humans.” Yuan wrote, “Learning to live peacefully with all living things is a necessary part of growing up. The real goal of education is not to ask the world to change for us, but to help us learn how to get along with the world.”

“Simply driving the birds away wouldn’t be suitable, but doing nothing wasn’t good, either,” Yuan said. The school then invited environmental experts and students to discuss practical solutions—to provide earplugs (耳塞) to the students in the dorms (寝室) near the wooded areas. At the same time, man-made nests were set up to guide the birds away from the classrooms and dorm buildings.

This simple problem became a life lesson about living in peace with nature.

1.1. How does the writer start the text?

A By listing numbers.

B By describing a scene.

C By asking a question.

D

解析：选B。细节理解题。第一段 "On a spring morning, a student...was studying for exams while a bird kept calling loudly outside the window"（一个春天的早晨，一名学生正在备考，窗外一只鸟不停地大声鸣叫）描绘了一个具体的时间、地点、人物和事件场景，属于 "描述场景" 开篇，故选 B。A"列举数字" 首段无数字；C"提出问题" 首段无疑问句。此题考查对记叙文开篇方式的辨识。

2.2. Why do birds sing loudly?

A To express joy.

B To trouble students.

C To date and communicate.

D

解析：选C。细节理解题。第三段原句明确交代："He explained birds sing loudly for dating and communication instead of making noise"（他解释说，鸟儿大声鸣叫是为了求偶和交流，而不是制造噪音），与 C 项完全对应。A"表达快乐" 文中无依据；B"打扰学生" 是学生的主观感受，并非鸟儿的目的，且原文用 "instead of making noise"（而不是制造噪音）明确否定了这一说法。此题考查对解释性语句的精准定位。

3.3. What's the right order of the following events? ① The student wrote a letter to the headmaster. ② Headmaster Yuan wrote a thoughtful reply to the student. ③ The school provided earplugs and set up man-made nests. ④ The school invited environmental experts to discuss solutions.

A ①②④③

B ①④②③

C ③①④②

D

解析：选A。细节理解题。按文章叙事顺序梳理：第一段学生写信（①）→第二段校长写回信（②）→第四段 "学校随后邀请环保专家和学生讨论切实可行的解决方案"（④）→讨论后落实具体措施 "提供耳塞"" 搭建人工鸟巢 "（③）。故正确顺序为①②④③，选 A。此题考查对叙事时间线的梳理，注意"then""At the same time" 等顺序标志词，以及 "先讨论后落实" 的逻辑先后。

4.4. Which of the following best describes the character of Headmaster Yuan?

A Warm.

B Crazy.

C Strict.

D

解析：选A。推理判断题。文中多处细节刻画袁校长的形象："was touched by the letter"（被信打动）、"wrote a thoughtful reply"（写了一封充满思考的回信）、"expressed his understanding of the pressure students faced"（表达对学生压力的理解）、不简单赶走鸟也不无所作为，而是邀请专家找务实方案 —— 这些都体现了他有爱心、善解人意、温和理性的性格，warm（温暖的、有爱心的）最贴切。B crazy（疯狂的）与全文褒义基调相悖；C strict（严格的）文中无严厉管教的描写，反而体现的是理解与包容。此题考查依据人物言行推断性格品质。

5.5. What can the students learn from this experience?

A Schools should meet the students’ needs.

B Humans should live with nature peacefully.

C Birds are more important than students’ exams.

D

解析：选B。主旨大意题。全文核心是袁校长的教育理念 ——"Learning to live peacefully with all living things is a necessary part of growing up"（学会与所有生物和平共处是成长的必要部分），末段再次点题 "This simple problem became a life lesson about living in peace with nature"（这个简单的问题成了一堂关于与自然和平共处的人生课），首尾呼应，故 B 正确。干扰项辨析：A"学校应满足学生需求" 偏离主旨 —— 校长并未简单满足学生 "移走鸟巢" 的要求，而是引导学生理解自然；C"鸟儿比考试重要" 属过度推断，文中并未比较二者重要性，而是强调和谐共处。此题考查把握文章主旨句与首尾呼应。
