D The diary
All my life I have loved airports. To me they are some kind of magic way to the world, a place from which to start great holidays and adventures. But today it looked like a cold and heartless place. I looked at my sister, her eyes were all tears (眼泪) , but she tried to keep a brave face. \
\miss you,\I answered, and with those last words I was off, without looking back, but when I reached the customs (海关) office I was crying. To me it was the end of the world, I felt like my best friend had just been taken away from me.
Growing up, my sister and I would do everything together. She was only fifteen months older than me and we not only looked alike, we were alike. We both had that same mix of curiosity and fear (好奇又害怕) of all things unknown to us. I remember countless times when we ask each other, \阁楼) ?\… We both were afraid of the attic but also loved its smells and sounds. Whenever one of us needed something, the other one would come along. Together we would fight the life-size spiders and fight through the endless boxes until we found what we needed.
When the time came for us to go to college, what better way than for us to go together. But now that our college days were over and I was off to a foreign country to start a new life, all I had left were memories.
The plane shook heavily and my bag fell on the floor. A little book fell out of it. I picked it up and opened it-it was a diary.
Immediately I recognized (认出) my sister's handwriting. \Sis, what a day it is today! First you let me know that you are moving to another country and then…\

that my sister had been keeping a diary for the past month and that she was now passing it on to me. I was to write in it for the next few months and then send it back to her.
I spent the rest of the flight reading the diary. Even though a large ocean separated (分开) us, at some point it felt like she was actually there. And I knew she would be around forever. 40. The writer is going to ____________.

六、阅读短文，根据短文内容问题。(共 6分，每小题 2分)
Spring is the time when Qinghai Lake awakes from its icy, long winter. On the northern bank of the lake are the Naren Wetlands, which are home to tens of thousands of birds, and many of them are in danger.
Forty-two-year-old Jia Wu Cai Rang is a Tibetan. His family is living in the Naren Wetlands. People there need a peaceful place to live. But unluckily, from the 1990s, some poachers (偷猎者) came, breaking the peace of the lake, where they began to make a living by killing, catching and selling birds.
10
To protect the birds, in 1985, Cai Rang became a volunteer（志愿者）for the Wetlands. His main job is to tell people to give up poaching, and if they keep on doing so, Cai Rang is to take action against them, such as writing down their car numbers or calling the police. “I feel really angry with those people who kill the birds, because I think the birds live in their own world and we should not trouble them. \
In 1997, Qinghai Lake became a state-level natural reserve. This gave the resources of the Naren Wetlands full protection. Cai Rang says he is not only protecting the wetland and its birds, but also taking care of hurt birds as they can return to Mother Nature at an early date.
Cai Rang sees the birds as his family members. Whenever he has time, he goes to the reserve to visit his friends. He sometimes feeds the birds in the fields to help them because they don't have enough food.
During the past 26 years, Cai Rang has treated and cured（治愈）more than 10 water-fowls. In the Qinghai Lake area, birds species（物种）have grown from 164 in the 1990s to 191 now. In the best seasons, tens of thousands of birds make the place a heaven for birds.
Among many local people, Cai Rang is called' the guardian（守护者）of birds’. “Birds have their own languages. I can make different sounds of birds. I use this way to talk with them. \43. Did poachers begin to kill, catch and sell birds from the 1990s? 44. How many birds species are there in the Qinghai Lake area now? 45. Why is Cai Rang called' the guardian of birds'?
