Most animals always use body language to communicate. If cats look and blink(眨眼)at you slowly, which shows their love to you, you can also do this to show your love. When they sit with tails around themselves, they’re happy. If they feel scared, their tails may look like the end of toilet brushes. When they put ears back, they are a bit mad. Birds can also show feelings through eyes and feathers. If birds make their pupils(瞳孔)large and small from time to time, this can be a sign that they are excited or scared or angry. Birds will ruffle(弄乱)their feathers when they clean themselves. However, if their feathers remain ruffled, it may mean they are ill. You’d better take them to see a veterinarian in an animal hospital. Some animals communicate by smell. Dogs are famous for this. They can learn about something by smelling. They can find missing people by using their fantastic sense of smell. They have helped the police for a long time. Mice have an excellent sense of smell, too. Scientists even train them to find landmines(地雷).It is found that even ants use smell, they use smell to tell other ants where the food is. Frogs and insects communicate with sounds. Usually the “gentlemen” make sounds to invite the “ladies”. Whales and elephants also use sounds to communicate, these sounds can travel very far through water or the ground, but it is not possible for humans to hear some of the sounds. Learn more about the ways of animal communication at http://www.animal.com.cn. 1.When a cat is happy, it may 　　　.  A.look and blink at you slowly B.ruffle its hair C.sit with its tail around itself D.put its ears back 2.The underlined word “veterinarian” in Paragraph 2 means 　　　 in Chinese.   A.驯养师　　　　 B.兽医　　　　 C.管理员　　　　 D.牙医 3.What animals can communicate by smelling from this passage? ①elephants　 ②dogs　　 ③whales ④mice　　　 ⑤insects 　 ⑥ants A.①③⑤　　　　 B.②③④ C.①⑤⑥　　　　 D.②④⑥ 4.Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage? A.Dogs can communicate by neither smell nor body language. B.Animals hardly use body language to communicate. C.Humans can’t hear the sounds of frogs and insects. D.Birds can show their feelings through their eyes and feathers. 5.What’s the best title of this passage? A.The Ways of Animal Communication B.The Importance of Communication C.The Ways to Understand Body Language D.The Importance of Caring for Animals 1.C　细节理解题。根据第二段第三句可知,猫咪快乐时,会用尾巴把自己围起来。故选C。 2.B　词义猜测题。从语境中可以看出,当它们病了时,你最好带它们去动物医院看……。很显然是兽医。故选B。 3.D　细节理解题。题干问的是哪些动物以smelling方式交流,锁定答案在第三段,可查找到dogs, mice, ants。故选D。 4.D　推理判断题。文章第二段中“Birds can also show feelings through eyes and feathers.”表明鸟是通过眼睛和羽毛表达感情的。故选D。 5.A　主旨大意题。题干问最好的题目,各选项的大意为:A.动物的交流方式;B.交流的重要性;C.理解肢体语言的方式;D.关心动物的重要性。文章各段都很明确地指向“动物的交流方式”。故选A。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！15 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit5 Wild animals 第2课时 Reading 目标导航jing 重点 词汇 1. vt. 意思是，意味着 2. n. 开始，起初 3. adv. 令人遗憾地，不幸地 4. vt. 面临；面对 5. adv. 主要地；大部分 6. n. 行动；行为 7. pron. 没有一个(人或物) 重点 词组 1. 第一次 2. ＝ 没有，不再 3. 一开始 4. 越来越小 5. 出生时，诞生时 6. 因此 7. 处境危险 8. 以食……为生 9. 采取行动 10. 立刻，马上 重点 句型 1.

Most animals always use body language to communicate. If cats look and blink(眨眼)at you slowly, which shows their love to you, you can also do this to show your love. When they sit with tails around themselves, they’re happy. If they feel scared, their tails may look like the end of toilet brushes. When they put ears back, they are a bit mad. Birds can also show feelings through eyes and feathers. If birds make their pupils(瞳孔)large and small from time to time, this can be a sign that they are excited or scared or angry. Birds will ruffle(弄乱)their feathers when they clean themselves. However, if their feathers remain ruffled, it may mean they are ill. You’d better take them to see a veterinarian in an animal hospital. Some animals communicate by smell. Dogs are famous for this. They can learn about something by smelling. They can find missing people by using their fantastic sense of smell. They have helped the police for a long time. Mice have an excellent sense of smell, too. Scientists even train them to find landmines(地雷).It is found that even ants use smell, they use smell to tell other ants where the food is. Frogs and insects communicate with sounds. Usually the “gentlemen” make sounds to invite the “ladies”. Whales and elephants also use sounds to communicate, these sounds can travel very far through water or the ground, but it is not possible for humans to hear some of the sounds.
