2024年初中英语七年级最新时文阅读训练 专题09 动物植物 阅读理解 A Strange behaviours of animals 动物们的奇怪行为 Animals are quite different from us. You may find some of their behaviours strange, but these strange behaviours actually help them live their lives. Let's find out some interesting facts you may not know! Octopuses(章鱼)have more hearts than other animals. Two of the hearts work only to move blood to their gills(鳃). The third keeps blood circulation(循环)for the other organs. When an octopus swims, the heart stops beating. Swimming makes them feel tired. Hummingbirds(蜂鸟)are the only birds that can fly backward. Why is that? Most birds move their wings upward and downward. But hummingbirds' wings beat backward and forward(向前).The birds are only 2 to 3 centimetres in size and they can beat their wings about 8 to 200 times a second. Elephants are the only mammals(哺乳动物)that can't jump. The bones in elephant legs are all pointed downwards, so they don't have the“ spring(弹簧)”to help them jump off the ground. Elephants are very big and always live in groups to protect themselves. 1. How many hearts do octopuses have? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 2. When an octopus swims,__________. A. the heart stops beating B. it stops eating C. it wants to eat food D. it never feels tired 3. Which of the following about hummingbirds is TRUE according to the passage? A. They are about 2 to 3 metres in size. B. They can fly backward. C. They can only fly upward. D. They can't beat their wings very fast. 重点句型及难句分析: You may find some of their behaviours strange, but these strange behaviours actually help them live their lives.句意:你可能会发现它们的某些行为很奇怪,但实际上这些奇怪的行为有助于它们的生活. actually 是副词,意为“实际上”,相当于in fact. 1.C 根据第二段中的“Two of the hearts work only to move blood to their gills. The third keeps blood circulation for the other organs.”可知,章鱼有三个心脏,其中有两颗心脏的作用只是将血液输送到鳃部,第三颗心脏的作用是维持其他器官的血液循环.故选C. 2.A 根据第二段中的“When an octopus swims, the heart stops beating.”可知,当章鱼在游泳的时候,它的心脏会停止跳动.故选A. 3.B 根据第三段的第一句可知,蜂鸟会向后飞.故选B. B Plants“
