【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了深圳一所中学校园里的鸟叫声影响学生备考，校长拒绝移除鸟巢并采取一系列措施解决人鸟冲突的故事。文章旨在引导学生尊重生命、理解万物。
1. A 考查连词词义辨析—句间关系判逻辑。As当……时候；If如果；Until直到……为止；Before在……之前。根据“the students... every day”可知，这里表示当学生们准备考试时，鸟儿每天大声唱歌，用as引导时间状语从句。
2. A 考查动词词义辨析—瞻前顾后巧求索。act行动；learn学习；explain解释；explore探索。根据“He wrote a letter... to move the nest.”可知，此处指这个男孩决定采取行动。
3. D 考查名词词义辨析—瞻前顾后巧求索。hope希望；excitement兴奋；interest兴趣；surprise惊讶。根据“the headmaster... answer”以及后文内容可知，校长没有给出简单的答案，这让学生们感到惊讶。to one's surprise是固定短语，意为“令某人惊讶的是”。
