So, they become very dirty. In the wild, pigs keep very clean. They are also really smart. They may be smarter than dogs. So, pigs can learn things from people. Pigs are very friendly animals. Some people raise them as pets. Of course, people raise the small kind, not the big kind. Small pigs are very cute. And they don’t break things in the house. Big pigs usually live outside on farms, not in people’s houses. 14．Which words can describe pigs? A．Dirty and stupid. B．Nervous and strange. C．Dangerous and unfriendly.

They keep wild animals safe, healthy, and happy. They give animals food and water. They care for sick animals. They clean the animals’ home. Different Kinds of Animal Keepers There’re many kinds of animal keepers. Some animal keepers care for dangerous animals, like tigers and alligators. These animals can hurt animal keepers. Some animal keepers help different animals, like koalas, dolphins, or parrots. These animals do not hurt （伤害） animal keepers. Other animal keepers care for baby animals. All animal keepers love and care for animals. Wild animals can be happy, healthy, and safe with animal keepers. How to Become an Animal Keeper Get experience （经历） with many animals: ● Care for pets ● Work at a farm ● Work with different wild animals ● Study animal care ● Get a job at a zoo 19．Animals like dolphins and parrots are ________.

(C) The cassowary（食火鸡）is one of the world’s largest birds. It can grow up to about 2 meters tall. It can’t fly. It gets around by walking on its large legs and big feet. It can run up to 50 km/h and jump 1.5 meters. And it’s also a good swimmer. It can cross wide rivers and swim in the sea. The cassowary is very shy, but it can kill people. It’s a bird we try to leave alone as much as possible. However, a new study shows that some ancient（古代的）people had a different idea—they raised（饲养）cassowaries much as we raise chickens now. Today, Papua New Guinea is one of the two homes to the cassowary (the other is Australia). A team of scientists in Papua New Guinea wanted to know more about how ancient people lived there many thousands of years ago. They collected around 1,000 fossilized（变成化石的）eggshell pieces and studied them. This news about cassowaries was one of their findings. The cassowary is famous as the world’s most dangerous bird. So why would anyone try to raise it? It’s true that people can’t really keep a cassowary as a pet. But if they’re careful enough, they can keep cassowaries on a farm. As for the reason, food comes first! Even today in Papua New Guinea, cassowary meat is a delicious dish. But that’s not all. The cassowary’s bones（骨头）can be used as tools. Its feathers（羽毛）can be used to make clothes. There is every reason to believe that ancient people thought the same thousands of years ago. 22．What is NOT true about the cassowary? A．It can fly high. B．It can run fast. C．It can grow tall. D．It can swim well. 23．The study shows that people ________ in ancient times. A．had farms B．kept far away from cassowaries C．had large legs and big feet D．raised cassowaries 24．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Ancient people’s thoughts. B．Cassowary’s bones and feathers. C．The fossilized eggshell pieces. D．Papua New Guinea and Australia. 25．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A．Why the cassowary is dangerous. B．Why people raised the cassowary. C．How people raised the cassowary. D．Where people raised the cassowary. 应用文 (A) Most studies show that many animals can feel the weather changes.

They belong out on the farm, rounding up sheep and cattle. In the city they are just a smelly nuisance(讨厌的东西). They leave their mess all over the streets, and some of them never stop barking. Where are their owners? Why are these supposedly wonderful friends left alone to pine and dig up the garden, or to bark at anyone who dares to walk past “their” house? If we must have dogs in the city, they need to be trained properly. Apart from the barkers, there are the bounders(莽汉). These dreadful animals rush up and almost knock you flat before you have time to decide if they are greeting you or attacking you. Faithfully, Sarah Williston May 28 Dear Editor, Yes, Sarah Williston (May 21), we do give dogs a good life, but they pay us back generously, with love and intelligence and good humour. Dogs are wonderful friends, loyal and trustworthy. They will play safely with the kids, or keep a house-bound person company all day long. Dogs are increasingly being used in nursing homes and hospitals as a welcoming and calming presence, and in some places, teachers even have a pet dog in the classroom. It is true that training a dog takes considerable time and effort, but it is time well-spent. Taking responsibility for a canine(犬科的) pet builds character, as well as offering a lot of pleasure. Sincerely, John Bonavista 49．Which sentence best shows Sarah’s attitude(态度) to dogs? A．Dogs mustn’t live in cities. B．Dogs should work on the farm. C．People shouldn’t keep animals as pets. D．People had better not keep dogs as pets. 50．John suggests that having a pet dog in the classroom is ________. A．a good way of training a dog to be calm B．bad for the dog but useful for the teacher C．rude for both the teacher and the students D．a way of making classrooms happier places 51．What do the two writers agree about? A．Dogs are wonderful pets. B．Dogs are easy to take care of. C．Dog owners should train dogs properly. D．Dog owners spend too much on their pets. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Starter Unit 3 Welcome! 拓展阅读专项 主题：热爱与敬畏自然，与自然和谐共生 （语篇类型：记叙文、说明文、应用文、新媒体语篇） 阅读单选 记叙文 (A) Hello, I am Jenny.

It can grow up to about 2 meters tall. It can’t fly. It gets around by walking on its large legs and big feet. It can run up to 50 km/h and jump 1.5 meters. And it’s also a good swimmer. It can cross wide rivers and swim in the sea. The cassowary is very shy, but it can kill people. It’s a bird we try to leave alone as much as possible. However, a new study shows that some ancient（古代的）people had a different idea—they raised（饲养）cassowaries much as we raise chickens now. Today, Papua New Guinea is one of the two homes to the cassowary (the other is Australia). A team of scientists in Papua New Guinea wanted to know more about how ancient people lived there many thousands of years ago. They collected around 1,000 fossilized（变成化石的）eggshell pieces and studied them. This news about cassowaries was one of their findings. The cassowary is famous as the world’s most dangerous bird. So why would anyone try to raise it? It’s true that people can’t really keep a cassowary as a pet. But if they’re careful enough, they can keep cassowaries on a farm. As for the reason, food comes first! Even today in Papua New Guinea, cassowary meat is a delicious dish. But that’s not all. The cassowary’s bones（骨头）can be used as tools. Its feathers（羽毛）can be used to make clothes. There is every reason to believe that ancient people thought the same thousands of years ago. 22．What is NOT true about the cassowary? A．It can fly high. B．It can run fast. C．It can grow tall. D．It can swim well. 23．The study shows that people ________ in ancient times.

May 21 Dear Editor, Dogs are working animals, not pets. They belong out on the farm, rounding up sheep and cattle. In the city they are just a smelly nuisance(讨厌的东西). They leave their mess all over the streets, and some of them never stop barking. Where are their owners? Why are these supposedly wonderful friends left alone to pine and dig up the garden, or to bark at anyone who dares to walk past “their” house? If we must have dogs in the city, they need to be trained properly. Apart from the barkers, there are the bounders(莽汉). These dreadful animals rush up and almost knock you flat before you have time to decide if they are greeting you or attacking you. Faithfully, Sarah Williston May 28 Dear Editor, Yes, Sarah Williston (May 21), we do give dogs a good life, but they pay us back generously, with love and intelligence and good humour. Dogs are wonderful friends, loyal and trustworthy. They will play safely with the kids, or keep a house-bound person company all day long. Dogs are increasingly being used in nursing homes and hospitals as a welcoming and calming presence, and in some places, teachers even have a pet dog in the classroom. It is true that training a dog takes considerable time and effort, but it is time well-spent. Taking responsibility for a canine(犬科的) pet builds character, as well as offering a lot of pleasure. Sincerely, John Bonavista 49．Which sentence best shows Sarah’s attitude(态度) to dogs? A．Dogs mustn’t live in cities. B．Dogs should work on the farm. C．People shouldn’t keep animals as pets.

D．Dog owners spend too much on their pets. 【答案】49．D 50．D 51．C 【分析】这篇短文主要讲述了Sarah Williston和John Bonavista写给编辑部的信，他们都谈到关于喂养狗的问题，并且表明了自己的观点。 49．细节理解题。根据文中“Dogs are working animals, not pets.”可知，Sarah Williston认为狗是工作的动物，不是宠物，故选D。 50．细节理解题。根据文中“Dogs are wonderful friends, loyal and trustworthy.
