Because many forests are cut down and they have no place to live in. In order to protect them, we must build many natural reserves. And we must stop people from hunting. 69．例文 Wolves have thick grey fur. They are not very big. But they can see, hear and smell things far away. They work as a team and never kill for fun. Now they are losing their living areas. People kill them because they think wolves are dangerous to humans. I think we should take action to protect them. For example, we can build more reserves and make laws to help them. 答案第2页，共2页 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 5 Wild animals单元话题读写强化练（阅读、完形与写作） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 考点目录 一、阅读理解拓展提高 1 Passage 1 1 Passage 2 2 Passage 3 4 二、阅读理解之单选：濒危动植物、简谱知识。 5 Passage 1 5 Passage 2 6 Passage 3 8 三、完形填空：人与动植物的和谐相处。 9 Cloze 1 9 Cloze 2 11 四、任务型阅读之阅读表达 13 Passage 1 13 Passage 2 14 五、任务型阅读之阅读填表：常见动物 16 Passage 1 16 Passage 2 17 六、书面表达:保护动物 20 一、阅读理解拓展提高 Passage 1 The world we live in is full of amazing things.

They fit（适合）so well, and he liked them so much that he wouldn’t take them off. All the animals talked about the bear’s new look. Soon, in that forest, there began appearing squirrels（松鼠）in shirts, rabbits in shoes, and even rats（鼠）wearing hats! The forest doctor shook his head, telling animals, “This can’t be good. Animals don’t need clothes! "But no one listened to him. They said he was just out of fashion. However, it wasn’t long before the first results of fashion-fever came. Several times the squirrel caught his shirt on trees, stopping him in mid-jump and sending him falling to the ground from a tree. The rat couldn’t go into his hole without taking off his hat first. Even the bear, because of his socks, slipped（滑到）from the river rock and almost killed himself. When the animals came to see the doctor, he gave them all the same advice, “Take off those clothes before one day they’re going to kill you.” Those who listened to the doctor’s advice stopped having accidents. And the animals realized that they didn’t need clothes at all.

It moves by jumping on its long hind(后面的)legs. One jump may be 9 meters long and up to 3 meters high. Its heavy, long tail helps it keep balance. We can find the red kangaroo mainly in the dry grassland of Australia. It usually travels in small groups. Each group has 2-10 kangaroos. When a red baby kangaroo is born, it is only a few centimetres long. After being born, it crawls(爬行)through the mother's fur(毛皮)to her pouch(育儿袋). In hard times, the mother kangaroo can stop the baby from being born till there is enough grass for her to eat. The mother feeds the baby with milk from her body. The joey will spend about two hundred and forty days in the pouch. Kangaroos can live for up to 20 years. A kangaroo never stops growing bigger, so an old kangaroo can be very large. There are probably millions of kangaroos of all types in Australia. 12．Kangaroos jump on their ________. A．front legs B．hind legs C．tails D．pouches 13．A kangaroo can jump as high as ________ meters.

But now, the big animal is calling for our help. There were once eight kinds of tigers in the world, but three died out during last century. In the past 70 years, the number of the Siberian tigers has gone from as many as 300 to somewhere between 18 and 22. The World Wildlife Fund started a programme. It is about to put an end to tiger poaching (非法狩猎) and save wild tigers. China, together with 12 other countries, has joined in. The aim is to double the number of wild tigers in the next ten years. According to research by Chinese officers and WWF, the Siberian tiger is already one of the world’s most endangered animals (濒危动物). “If the government doesn’t do anything, it’s quite possible that there will be no more Siberian tigers in China in 10 to 20 years.” said Zhu Chunguan, director at WWF’s Beijing office. Wild animals such as deer and wild boars are tigers’ main food. The poaching of these animals is the greatest danger to tigers. Traps (陷阱) are also a danger. “Volunteers from WWF remove traps every year, but we cannot clear all the traps ourselves,” Zhu said. The most important thing people can do is to save the animals tigers eat. “To protect the tigers, we need to call on more people to stop hunting wild animals.” 15．What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A．Tigers are not strong any more. B．There are only three kinds of tigers in the world. C．Most tigers live in Africa. D．The number of tigers fell during the past century. 16．What does the underlined word “remove” mean? A．Take something away. B．Make something stronger. C．Like something best. D．Go together with somebody. 17．Which dangerous fact to Siberian tigers is NOT mentioned in the passage? A．There are fewer and fewer deer and wild boars. B．The living areas for tigers are getting smaller. C．Different kinds of traps are still in the wild. D．People are trying to stop tigers poaching. 【答案】15．D 16．A 17．B 【难度】0.65 【详解】本文介绍了老虎的数量在减少的现状以及原因，我们应采取措施挽救老虎。 15．段落大意题。根据第一段“There were once eight kinds of tigers in the world, but three died out during last century. In the past 70 years, the number of the Siberian tigers has gone from as many as 300 to somewhere between 18 and 22.”可知，老虎的数量在过去的一个世纪里大幅减少。故选D。 16．词义推断题。根据“Volunteers from WWF remove traps every year, but we cannot clear all the traps ourselves”可知，WWF的志愿者每年都会……陷阱，但他们无法自己清除所有的陷阱。由此推断出“remove”意为“移除”。故选A。 17．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Wild animals such as deer and wild boars are tigers’ main... can do is to save the animals tigers eat. ‘To protect the tigers, we need to call on more people to stop hunting wild animals.’ ”可知，提到的对西伯利亚虎的危险包括：鹿和野猪的数量减少；各种陷阱仍然存在以及人们试图阻止非法狩猎，但没有提到老虎的生活区域变小。故选B。 Passage 3 There is almost no water in the desert (沙漠), but many animals can live in it. How do these animals get water and stay alive? Everything is hot and dry in the daytime, but the night is cold. Plants often have dew (露珠) on them in the early morning. This is because cold air can’t hold as much water as hot air. Small insects can drink the dew, and bigger animals eat the plants with the dew on them. Some small animals get water from the bodies of insects. Bigger animals get water from the bodies of small animals. This North American bird is called a roadrunner (走鹃). It runs fast and catches small snakes, lizards and scorpions. Some animals can wait many years for water. When the rain falls, baby shrimps (虾) come out of their eggs. They grow quickly and lay new eggs. Then the water dries up, and the shrimps die. But the new eggs do not die. They wait in the ground for the next rain. They can wait for 50 years. Most big animals can’t live in the desert because they need a few litres (公升) of water every day. They can’t keep water in their bodies for a long time. But camels are different. They can drink 90 litres of water in ten minutes, and then drink nothing for a week. 18．From the passage we know that the desert is a place with ________. A．no animals B．not much water C．no plants D．a lot of plants 19．Insects can drink _________. A．when there is dew B．when the sun goes down C．when bigger animals eat D．when the night comes 20．The North American bird roadrunner doesn’t eat ________.

D．Hot air can hold more water than cold air. 22．Which is the best title for the passage? A．How can animals live in the desert? B．Where can animals find their food? C．What can animals do in the desert? D．When can animals find their food in the desert? 【答案】18．B 19．A 20．C 21．D 22．A 【难度】0.65 【详解】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了沙漠动物的生存方式。 18．细节理解题。根据“There is almost no water in the desert (沙漠)”可知，沙漠是一个没有很多水的地方。故选B。 19．细节理解题。根据“Small insects can drink the dew ”可知，有露珠的时候昆虫可以喝露珠。故选A。 20．细节理解题。根据“This North American bird is called a roadrunner (走鹃). It runs fast and catches small snakes, lizards and scorpions.”可知，走鹃能捕捉小蛇、蜥蜴和蝎子，不吃昆虫。故选C。 21．细节理解题。根据“This is because cold air can’t hold as much water as hot air.”可知，热空气比冷空气能容纳更多的水。故选D。 22．最佳标题题。根据“How do these animals get water and stay alive?”可知，本文主要介绍了沙漠动物的生存方式，因此A选项 “动物如何在沙漠中生存？”符合最佳标题。故选A。 三、完形填空：人与动植物的和谐相处。 Cloze 1 James Herriot was a famous doctor for animals.

In the desert, as we know, there is a little 34 , but it not 35 for most plants. Still we can see some plants live in the desert. There is 36 in some places in the desert. We call these places oases（绿洲）.In the oases, there are villages and towns. People grow all kinds of crops in the fields there. People 37 live outside the oases. They have camels, sheep and other animals. These animals depend on the desert plants for their food and do not need 38 water. The animals are useful to the desert people in many ways.

Maybe not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big, and they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap(捕蝇草). The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly(苍蝇) touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses(压) the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly. Plants are living things that have leaves and roots and grow in earth. Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor.

I am called a guide dog because it is my job to guide Peg wherever she needs to go. Usually animals cannot go into food stores, but as guide dogs, we can enter the store and guide people as they shop. I am Phantom, a therapy horse.

One day a family went to spend the day in the forest, and the son left his socks there. After the family left, a bear came by, found the socks, and decided to try them on. They fit（适合）so well, and he liked them so much that he wouldn’t take them off. All the animals talked about the bear’s new look. Soon, in that forest, there began appearing squirrels（松鼠）in shirts, rabbits in shoes, and even rats（鼠）wearing hats! The forest doctor shook his head, telling animals, “This can’t be good. Animals don’t need clothes! "But no one listened to him. They said he was just out of fashion. However, it wasn’t long before the first results of fashion-fever came. Several times the squirrel caught his shirt on trees, stopping him in mid-jump and sending him falling to the ground from a tree. The rat couldn’t go into his hole without taking off his hat first. Even the bear, because of his socks, slipped（滑到）from the river rock and almost killed himself. When the animals came to see the doctor, he gave them all the same advice, “Take off those clothes before one day they’re going to kill you.” Those who listened to the doctor’s advice stopped having accidents. And the animals realized that they didn’t need clothes at all. Starting to wear them had been very dangerous, and they had only done it to make others admire（羡慕）them, and to get attention. 8．________ found the socks and tried them on.

It moves by jumping on its long hind(后面的)legs. One jump may be 9 meters long and up to 3 meters high. Its heavy, long tail helps it keep balance. We can find the red kangaroo mainly in the dry grassland of Australia. It usually travels in small groups. Each group has 2-10 kangaroos. When a red baby kangaroo is born, it is only a few centimetres long. After being born, it crawls(爬行)through the mother's fur(毛皮)to her pouch(育儿袋). In hard times, the mother kangaroo can stop the baby from being born till there is enough grass for her to eat. The mother feeds the baby with milk from her body. The joey will spend about two hundred and forty days in the pouch. Kangaroos can live for up to 20 years. A kangaroo never stops growing bigger, so an old kangaroo can be very large. There are probably millions of kangaroos of all types in Australia. 12．Kangaroos jump on their ________. A．front legs B．hind legs C．tails D．pouches 13．A kangaroo can jump as high as ________ meters. A．9 B．10 C．3 D．20 14．From the passage, we can see that red kangaroos ________. A．don't like to live in groups B．use their front legs to keep balance C．can live for up to 30 years D．are used to(习惯于)living in dry grasslands in Australia Passage 2 When people think of tigers, words like “ strong” and “dangerous” come into their mind. But now, the big animal is calling for our help. There were once eight kinds of tigers in the world, but three died out during last century. In the past 70 years, the number of the Siberian tigers has gone from as many as 300 to somewhere between 18 and 22. The World Wildlife Fund started a programme. It is about to put an end to tiger poaching (非法狩猎) and save wild tigers. China, together with 12 other countries, has joined in. The aim is to double the number of wild tigers in the next ten years. According to research by Chinese officers and WWF, the Siberian tiger is already one of the world’s most endangered animals (濒危动物). “If the government doesn’t do anything, it’s quite possible that there will be no more Siberian tigers in China in 10 to 20 years.” said Zhu Chunguan, director at WWF’s Beijing office. Wild animals such as deer and wild boars are tigers’ main food. The poaching of these animals is the greatest danger to tigers. Traps (陷阱) are also a danger. “Volunteers from WWF remove traps every year, but we cannot clear all the traps ourselves,” Zhu said. The most important thing people can do is to save the animals tigers eat. “To protect the tigers, we need to call on more people to stop hunting wild animals.” 15．What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

Passage 3 There is almost no water in the desert (沙漠), but many animals can live in it. How do these animals get water and stay alive? Everything is hot and dry in the daytime, but the night is cold. Plants often have dew (露珠) on them in the early morning. This is because cold air can’t hold as much water as hot air. Small insects can drink the dew, and bigger animals eat the plants with the dew on them. Some small animals get water from the bodies of insects. Bigger animals get water from the bodies of small animals. This North American bird is called a roadrunner (走鹃). It runs fast and catches small snakes, lizards and scorpions. Some animals can wait many years for water. When the rain falls, baby shrimps (虾) come out of their eggs. They grow quickly and lay new eggs. Then the water dries up, and the shrimps die. But the new eggs do not die. They wait in the ground for the next rain. They can wait for 50 years. Most big animals can’t live in the desert because they need a few litres (公升) of water every day. They can’t keep water in their bodies for a long time. But camels are different. They can drink 90 litres of water in ten minutes, and then drink nothing for a week. 18．From the passage we know that the desert is a place with ________. A．no animals B．not much water C．no plants D．a lot of plants 19．Insects can drink _________.

We call these places oases（绿洲）.In the oases, there are villages and towns. People grow all kinds of crops in the fields there. People 37 live outside the oases. They have camels, sheep and other animals. These animals depend on the desert plants for their food and do not need 38 water. The animals are useful to the desert people in many ways. They eat the meat and drink the milk of the animals. They use the camel for carrying water, food tents and something else. The people of the desert have to keep moving from place to place.

After killing a larger deer, they decided to have a big and delicious meal. The lion asked the ass to divide(分)the deer. After the ass made three equal(相等的)parts, it told its friends to take their own part. However, the lion caught the ass and tore(撕)it into pieces very angrily. The lion then told the fox to divide the deer. The fox gave most of the deer to the lion and left a small part for itself. "Ah, my friend," asked the lion, "who taught you to divide things so equally?" "The dead ass. I need no other lessons(教训)," answered the fox. 43．Who agreed to share what they caught? 44．How many parts did the ass divide the deer into? 45．What did the lion do when he got angry? 46．Who did the fox learnt from? 47．Which is the cleverest, the lion, the ass or the fox? Passage 2 Can plants eat people? Maybe not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big, and they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap(捕蝇草). The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly(苍蝇) touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses(压) the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly. Plants are living things that have leaves and roots and grow in earth. Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn’t have all these important things, especially nitrogen(氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need. Let’s hope that some of the bigger plants don’t get the same idea! （回答不超过8个单词） 48．Where does the Venus flytrap grow? 49．What do the leaves of the meat-eating plant look like ? 50．What’s inside the leaves of the plant? 51．Where do most plants get what they need? 52．Why do some plants get energy from an animal meat in some places? 五、任务型阅读之阅读填表：常见动物 Passage 1 任务型阅读 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容完成短文后的表格，每空一次。 The undersea world is very beautiful．Now more and more people want to dive in the water to find the secrets there．Scuba diving (潜水) is a new sport today．It can take you into a wonderful undersea world． You will find many strange animals in the sea．Some are as large as a school bus．Many sea animals give out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth． In the daytime, there is much light．Here, under the sea, everything is blue and green．When fishes swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands．When you have bottles of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time．However, you can' t dive too deep．And you must be very careful when you dive in deep water． The deep sea is not an easy place to live in．It's cold, and it's dark, too．The deeper it is, the less sunlight there is．At about 3,000 feet, there is no light at all．It is very dark in the sea．Many fishes have no eyes．Some have big eyes．A few have eyes on one side． Deep-sea animals have to face a third danger-other animals Like human beings, sea animals also need food!

Like  other deer, they lived together and ate grass and the soft parts of trees. People often killed Milu deer for food or sport. The Ming and Qing dynasties(朝代) did not protect them and killed many. That is how the Milu deer disappeared(消失) from China.       Luckily, before all of them lost their lives, someone took some deer to Britain to improve the environment of the beautiful park which belonged to Duke of Bedford(贝德福特公爵). He liked them so much that he took them from China to Britain. Milu deer liked the cool, wet weather in England and their number increased (增加)year by year. As a result, when in 1985,the government of China wanted to bring back the Milu deer, the Duke of Bedford was able to help. The first deer came back to China to the Nanhaizi Milu Park 20 kilometres south of Beijing and the centre in Dafeng, Jiangsu Province.        The deer certainly seem happy to be back in China because their number has grown quickly. There are now so many of them that people have opened a new centre for them in Hubei Province. At the moment the Milu deer live in centres where people protect and care for them. We hope that one day there will be enough animals to let them live in the wild again.
