One of the largest animal migrations happens on the Serengeti plains (平原), in Africa. More than one million wildebeest (牛羚) migrate in a big group. As the seasons change, they follow the rain, looking for better grass to eat and water to drink. They stay in one place while the grass and water are good, and then they move on. They return to the same places each year. Salmon (鲑鱼) live most of their lives in the ocean. But when it is time for them to lay their eggs, they return to the rivers where they were born. They move up rivers to find the right place. Scientists think that the fish remember the unique smell of the river and this is how they find their way. 48. Why do many animals migrate according to paragraph 1? A. They need warmer weather. B. They need safer places for their young. C. They want to find places with more food and water. D. Above all. 49. How do the wildebeest migrate as the seasons change? A. By following the rain. B. By following the trees and water. C. By staying in the same place. D. By moving to the south all the time. 50. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “unique” in the last paragraph? A. 清新的 B. 美好的 C. 独特的 D. 无污染的 51. Which is RIGHT from the article? A. Many animals often migrate to the different places each year B. Salmon (鲑鱼) live most of their lives in the lake. C. Salmon return to the rivers where they were born to lay eggs. D. More than 100,000 wildebeest migrate in a big group. 52. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Two amazing examples of migration. B. Why do all animals migrate? C. Let’s protect animals. D. Water and food are important to animals. 【答案】48. D 49. A 50. C 51. C 52.
