The Rabbit thought for a while and replied,“Okay! I will give you the top half.” After returning home, the Rabbit took his family to work hard on the field. When the harvest day came, the Big Bear happily came. To his surprise, the Rabbit was planting potatoes. Because the top half were only leaves, the Big Bear couldn’t even get a potato. After the potatoes’ harvest, the Rabbit asked to borrow the land again. Remembering the last lesson, the Big Bear asked for the half below the land. The Rabbit again said,“Okay!” This time, the Big Bear again got nothing because the Rabbit planted wheat. The half below couldn’t be eaten. The Big Bear was so angry that he said,“If you didn’t give me the top half and the half below the land next time, I will never lend you the land again.” The Rabbit said,“If so, can you leave the middle part to me?” The Big Bear thought there was nothing in the middle, so he agreed. However, when he found out that the Rabbit was planting corn, he left sadly. “I always wanted to take advantage of (占便宜) the Rabbit. But I can still get nothing this time. I need to change myself.” Later one morning, the Big Bear opened the door and found a large basket of corn at the door with a note. It read,“Mr. Big Bear, this gift is for you.

Some need to find food; others are looking for somewhere to breed and raise their young. Migrations can be long and challenging for animals but new research on birds has found that farmland along the way can help their progress. In spring, hundreds of thousands of birds living near Lake Poyang, in China, fly north to breed in Siberia, Russia. On the way, they find places to stop and eat, so that they can finish the whole journey. Some birds eat grass shoots that start to grow at the beginning of the season. This kind of food can only be got for a few weeks, and rising temperatures caused by climate (气候) change can sometimes make the grass grow earlier than usual. This means that some birds are arriving too late to eat the grass. As more land is used for farming, the natural wetlands where birds like to search for food are disappearing, too. A team of researchers recently tracked (追踪) 246 birds that were flying from Lake Poyang to Siberia. They found that the birds have changed their diets (饮食) according to the changing environments they pass through. As well as eating grass from the natural wetlands along the way, the birds are also eating seeds (种子) dropped by farmers. The researchers believe that seeds will become a more important part of migrating birds’ diets as more natural living environments disappear. They suggest that if farmers use different ways of harvesting, such as machines that leave behind more seeds in fields, it could help to feed migrating birds. However, they also said wetlands must be protected, so the birds can get different foods during their long journeys. 11. What does the underlined word “breed” probably mean in the first paragraph? A. Feed animals. B. Keep pets. C. Meet friends. D. Have babies. 12. In which month will the birds living near Lake Poyang fly to Siberia, Russia? A. In January. B. In April. C. In August. D. In October. 13. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. The birds don’t like eating grass. B. Dropped seeds are helpful to birds. C. More and more land is used for farming. D. Natural living environments are disappearing. 14. What may cause less food to eat for the migrating birds? a. The rising temperatures. b. The late arrival of some birds. c. The disappearance of natural wetlands. d. The use of different harvesting ways. A. a,b,c B. a,b,d C. b,c,d D. a,c,d 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain the information of the migration. B. To call on people to help the migrating birds. C. To advise people to keep the migrating birds. D. To show the importance of the migrating birds. 【答案】11. D 12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了每年世界各地的许多动物都会进行迁徙，其中候鸟在迁徙的过程中找需要寻找吃的食物，但是由于各种原因，候鸟的食物减少，因此有研究者建议，农民使用不同的收割方式，比如在田地里留下更多种子的机器以及必须保护湿地，这样鸟类才能在长途旅行中获得不同的食物。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Some need to find food; others are looking for somewhere to breed and raise their young.”可知，有些鸟需要寻找食物；另一些则在寻找繁殖和抚养后代的地方。因此breed应意为“繁殖”。故选D。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In spring, hundreds of thousands of birds living near Lake Poyang, in China, fly north to breed in Siberia, Russia.”可知，鸟在春天飞往俄罗斯西伯利亚。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As well as eating grass from the natural wetlands along the way, the birds are also eating seeds (种子) dropped by farmers.”可知，除了吃沿途的草之外，鸟儿还会吃农民扔的种子，所以说丢弃的种子对于鸟儿是有用的。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This kind of food can only be got for a few weeks, and rising temperatures caused by climate (气候) change can sometimes make the grass grow earlier than usual.

One day, the Rabbit wanted to borrow the land to grow food for his family. The Big Bear agreed, but he wanted half of the harvest (收成) without doing any hard work. The Rabbit thought for a while and replied,“Okay! I will give you the top half.” After returning home, the Rabbit took his family to work hard on the field. When the harvest day came, the Big Bear happily came. To his surprise, the Rabbit was planting potatoes. Because the top half were only leaves, the Big Bear couldn’t even get a potato. After the potatoes’ harvest, the Rabbit asked to borrow the land again. Remembering the last lesson, the Big Bear asked for the half below the land. The Rabbit again said,“Okay!” This time, the Big Bear again got nothing because the Rabbit planted wheat. The half below couldn’t be eaten. The Big Bear was so angry that he said,“If you didn’t give me the top half and the half below the land next time, I will never lend you the land again.” The Rabbit said,“If so, can you leave the middle part to me?” The Big Bear thought there was nothing in the middle, so he agreed. However, when he found out that the Rabbit was planting corn, he left sadly. “I always wanted to take advantage of (占便宜) the Rabbit. But I can still get nothing this time. I need to change myself.” Later one morning, the Big Bear opened the door and found a large basket of corn at the door with a note. It read,“Mr. Big Bear, this gift is for you. Thank you for lending us the land so that we can fill our stomachs. – Yours, Rabbit.” The Big Bear smiled, and suddenly felt that the sunshine was so warm and bright. 根据材料内容选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 6.

Walk around and do nothing every day. Every year, lots of animals around the world go on long journeys called migrations (迁徙). Some need to find food; others are looking for somewhere to breed and raise their young. Migrations can be long and challenging for animals but new research on birds has found that farmland along the way can help their progress. In spring, hundreds of thousands of birds living near Lake Poyang, in China, fly north to breed in Siberia, Russia. On the way, they find places to stop and eat, so that they can finish the whole journey. Some birds eat grass shoots that start to grow at the beginning of the season. This kind of food can only be got for a few weeks, and rising temperatures caused by climate (气候) change can sometimes make the grass grow earlier than usual. This means that some birds are arriving too late to eat the grass. As more land is used for farming, the natural wetlands where birds like to search for food are disappearing, too. A team of researchers recently tracked (追踪) 246 birds that were flying from Lake Poyang to Siberia. They found that the birds have changed their diets (饮食) according to the changing environments they pass through. As well as eating grass from the natural wetlands along the way, the birds are also eating seeds (种子) dropped by farmers. The researchers believe that seeds will become a more important part of migrating birds’ diets as more natural living environments disappear. They suggest that if farmers use different ways of harvesting, such as machines that leave behind more seeds in fields, it could help to feed migrating birds. However, they also said wetlands must be protected, so the birds can get different foods during their long journeys. 11. What does the underlined word “breed” probably mean in the first paragraph? A. Feed animals. B. Keep pets. C. Meet friends. D. Have babies. 12. In which month will the birds living near Lake Poyang fly to Siberia, Russia? A. In January. B. In April. C. In August. D. In October. 13. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. The birds don’t like eating grass. B. Dropped seeds are helpful to birds. C. More and more land is used for farming. D. Natural living environments are disappearing. 14. What may cause less food to eat for the migrating birds? a. The rising temperatures. b. The late arrival of some birds. c. The disappearance of natural wetlands. d. The use of different harvesting ways. A. ab,c B. a,b,d C. b,c,d D. a,c,d 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain the information of the migration. B. To call on people to help the migrating birds. C. To advise people to keep the migrating birds. D. To show the importance of the migrating birds.
