课时分层作业(三十五) Ⅰ.阅读理解 篇(限时6分钟) (2022·河北省六校第一次联考) The pandemic has changed life as we knew it just a few weeks ago.Millions of people worldwide are now under required or voluntary lockdown.All public attractions，including museums and aquariums，are closed，and the usually crowded streets of popular tourist destinations are empty.An unexpected silver lining during these challenging times for humans is that many animals are finally getting a chance to leave their normal habitats and move about freely. The first animals to take advantage of human absence were Annie and Edward，two penguins who live at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium.A video released on March 15，2020，showed the couple eagerly duckwalking around，exploring the aquarium's various exhibits.The video，which instantly became popular，inspired other institutions to share short videos of their four­legged creatures playing as well. The Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio joined the fun trend on March 16，2020，with a “Home Safari” live­stream series—the first starring its adorable baby panda，Fiona.“Let us help make your children's hiatus from school fun and educational，” zoo officials announced.“Join us for a Home Safari Online Live each weekday at 3 pm，where we will highlight one of our amazing animals and include an activity you can do from home.” Meanwhile，the San Diego Safari Park has kept their webcams (网络摄像头) rolling，allowing fans to enjoy lovable animals without leaving home.Animals in the wild are also lively as humans stay indoors.The absence of cruise ships is bringing large numbers of dolphins to a port in Cagliari，while groups of wild turkeys are happily walking on the streets of Oakland. Though the animals indeed appear to be having a good time，the heartwarming videos and images shared on social media，are also bringing much­needed cheer to millions of humans worldwide.Stay strong and healthy! We are all in this together! 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。流行病改变了人们的生活，人们被要求闭户而居，大量的旅游景点被关闭。令人们意想不到的是，许多动物终于有机会离开它们正常的栖息地自由活动。这给疫情下封闭的世界带来了生机。 1
