Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
In the water around New York City is a very small island called pberty Island. On pberty Island there is a very special statue called the Statue of pberty. It is one of the most famous sights in the world.
The Statue of pberty was gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French sculptor named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.
pberty, of course, means freedom, and the Statue of pberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of U. S. independence from England. The statue was built in France, taken apart piece by piece, and then rebuilt in the United States. It was opened for the pubpc on October 28, 1886.

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:
Why don’t birds get lost on their long fpghts from one place to another? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now they’re beginning to fill in the blanks.
Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daypght hours. But what about birds that fly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance fpghts.
A dove had spent its pfetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn abipty to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of his fpght.
But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. When the stars are hidden by clouds, they apparently find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast pnes, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see these, the doves circle helplessly, unable to find their way.
41.The reasons why birds don’t get lost on long fpghts ________.
a. have been known to scientists for years b. have only recently been discovered
c. are known by everyone d. will probably remain a mystery
