What’s that strange sound coming from the forest in the moonlight? It’s an owl, of course! The owl is different from all other birds in so many ways. ②All day long, seated comfortably on a tree, the owl is sleeping or at least he’s trying to snooze, because it’s sometimes hard to close the eyes with all the sounds made by the little birds and animals in the forest! The owl hunts only at night. When evening comes, the animals all get to a safe place. The owl opens its big, round eyes. Any little animal around had better watch out! ③The owl mostly eats small animals like mice, but it wouldn’t say no to another bird if it gets the chance! The owl uses its fantastic hearing to find its food, and then it turns its head from side to side, using its sharp eyes to follow the animal. Finally, it flies down to get the animal. Owls have special, soft feathers, so they can fly without making any sound. Owls are such good hunters that they can even catch a fly in the air! ④The owl is quiet most of the time, except when you get too close to its home. The owl is a great mother, who will protect her babies by opening her feathers angrily. An owl will even hurt people if she thinks her babies are in danger! ⑤An owl has no teeth, so it eats an animal whole. All the parts of the animal that the owl can’t digest (消化) will end up as small pieces. If you find these small pieces, you know you are near an owl’s home. 1．The underlined word has the closest meaning to ________.

A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了猫头鹰的独特习性和特点。 1．词义猜测题。根据第二段“All day long, seated comfortably on a tree, the owl is sleeping or at least he’s trying to snooze, because it’s sometimes hard to close the eyes with all the sounds made by the little birds and animals in the forest!”可知，一整天，猫头鹰舒适地坐在树上，森林里的小鸟和小动物发出的声音有时让它很难闭上眼睛睡觉；据此可以推断，划线单词“snooze”意为“睡觉”。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“The owl mostly eats small animals like mice, but it wouldn’t say no to another bird if it gets the chance!”可知，猫头鹰可能以鸟为食。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“Owls have special, soft feathers, so they can fly without making any sound. Owls are such good hunters that they can even catch a fly in the air!”可知，猫头鹰是很好的猎手，因为它们有特殊的柔软的羽毛，可以无声地飞行。故选D。 4．篇章结构题。综合全文可知，第一段总述猫头鹰在许多方面与其他鸟类不同；第二段到第五段分别从捕捉猎物、敏锐的听觉寻找食物、拥有特殊的羽毛保护自己的幼崽和没有牙齿会整个吞食猎物等方面说明与其他鸟类不同；据此可知，本文属于“总——分”结构，选项A图符合本文结构。故选A。 3. It seems that some animals can know when an earthquake (地震) will come. This can be important, because earthquakes can kill people. If animals can predict the earthquake, they may help save people’s lives. Some animals make a lot of noise before an earthquake. If dogs are usually quiet, they will bark (吠叫) loudly before an earthquake. And you can see some strange things on other animals. Mice leave their homes and run away. Fish jump out of the water. In Italy, lots of cats ran down the streets together. Only a few hours later, an earthquake came. In the US, a man had some small pet frogs in his house. One Sunday night, the frogs kept jumping around and made loud noise. This woke up the man. That night, again it was an earthquake and luckily, the man was saved. Right now, there is no sure way to know when an earthquake is coming. But scientists think that watching animal behavior (行为) may help. 1．What do some animals do before an earthquake? A．Keep quiet. B．Jump into water. C．Stay at home. D．Shout loudly. 2．Which animal is NOT mentioned in the passage? A．A horse. B．A mouse. C．A fish. D．A cat. 3．In the first paragraph, the word “predict” means (意思是) ________. A．know later B．know earlier C．describe D．stop 4．What can we know from the story of the man in the US? A．He heard a loud noise from outside. B．He was unhappy because the frogs woke him up. C．His frogs saved his life. D．He knew the earthquake and told people to run. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Earthquake can be very dangerous for people. B．Some animals can predict earthquakes and save people’s lives. C．Animals are a sure way to tell when an earthquake is coming. D．Animal behavior sometimes can be different. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了某些动物在地震前会表现出异常行为，这些行为可能预示着地震的到来，从而帮助人们提前做好准备。 1．细节理解题。根据“Some animals make a lot of noise before an earthquake.”，可知一些动物在地震前会制造很多噪音。而D选项“Shout loudly”与“make a lot of noise”意思相近，表示大声叫喊或制造噪音。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Mice leave their homes and run away. Fish jump out of the water.”以及“In Italy, lots of cats ran down the streets together.”可知文中提到了老鼠、鱼、猫的异常行为。但并未提及马这一动物。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据文中“If animals can predict the earthquake, they may help save people’s lives.”，可知“predict”在这里表示的是提前知道地震将要发生，从而可能帮助拯救人们的生命。选项中只有B选项“know earlier”与“predict”意思相近，表示提前知道。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“This woke up the man. That night, again it was an earthquake and luckily, the man was saved.”，可知是这个男人的青蛙通过制造噪音唤醒了他，而随后发生了地震，他因此得救。所以我们可以知道是这个男人的青蛙救了他的命。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，文章主要介绍了有些动物能够预测地震并可能帮助拯救人们的生命，同时强调了地震的危险性，但主旨是围绕动物预测地震的能力展开的。因此，B选项“Some animals can predict earthquakes and save people’s lives”最能概括文章的主旨。故选B。 4. Choose the fattest bear of the year! Some of the largest brown bears on Earth make their home at Brooks River in Katmai National Park, Alaska. Brown bears get fat to survive (生存). And Fat Bear Week is to celebrate the bears’ success in preparation for winter hibernation (冬眠). It began in 2014. Fat Bear Week 2023 is  from October 4th to October 10th. Why are fat bears important? For bears, fat is important for survival. Katmai’s brown bears are the fattest in late summer and early autumn. During hibernation, bears do not eat or drink and can lose one-third of their body weight. Their winter survival depends on (取决于) the fat they have. To get fat, bears eat the richest food they can find. There is a lot of salmon (鲑鱼) in Brooks River. Lots of bears get together at Brooks River to enjoy salmon from late June until mid-October. Maybe bears can’t feed on salmon for so long in other rivers on Earth. So there is no other river as important as Brooks River for bears. Fat bears are successful bears. They are an example of the richness of Katmai National Park and Bristol Bay, Alaska. These places are home to more brown bears than people. Let’s see who the fattest bear is this year! 1．Why should brown bears get fat? A．To look strong. B．To survive through winter. C．To celebrate Fat Bear Week. 2．What do bears do during hibernation?

It has about 130,000 elephants, the most in Africa. These big animals often go to towns to find food and water. They can eat crops (庄稼) on farms, damage houses and sometimes even step (踩，踏) on people. To help with the problem of too many elephants, Botswana lets people hunt them, but only up to 100 elephants can be hunted each year. People can also take home their “trophies (战利品)”, such as the tusks (象牙). But Germany doesn’t like this idea. Some people there think it’s bad for Earth.

They love living in trees in warm rainforests. Monkeys are clever and lovely. Sadly, the world of monkeys is in danger. They’re losing their homes because people are cutting down the trees in the forest where they live. The warmer and warmer weather also causes lots of trouble for them. Another thing to note is that monkeys are used in scientific research. Monkeys share a lot of genes (基因) with humans and scientists study them to learn about our bodies and diseases. But this raises questions: Are they being taken care of well? What’s right or wrong in the name of science? Keeping a balance is really important. Facing so many problems, there is still hope. Governments are working together to protect them by planting trees to create new homes, making rules to reduce carbon emissions (碳排放), and looking for other ways to do research without using animals. You can help too! Saving monkeys means we’re making a better future for everyone! Monkeys are in 1 Monkey’s situation They are 2 homes because of smaller forests and the rising temperature. They are studied in science because they have many genes that are the 3 as those in people.

I’m Bob. I’m from America. Many countries have different ideas about different animals, but when we talk about pigs, we may have the same idea of them—the pigs are ugly, lazy and stupid. Just look at the idioms (习语) in Chinese. We have “Boiling a dead pig (死猪不怕开水烫)” and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig.” And in English, they have “eating like a pig” and “sweating like a pig”. None of them are good. In fact, there are some good things about pigs. First, pigs are not stupid (愚蠢的). Their EQ is like dogs and chimpanzees (黑猩猩). They can remember things for a long time. And some pigs can learn things from people. Second, pigs are very clean animals. On farms, they live in dirty places, so they are very dirty. In the wild (野外), pigs are often clean. Third, pigs are very friendly animals. Some people keep them as pets. Of course, people keep the small kind, not the big kind. Small pigs are very cute. There are cute pigs in cartoons, too.

It’s an owl, of course! The owl is different from all other birds in so many ways. ②All day long, seated comfortably on a tree, the owl is sleeping or at least he’s trying to snooze, because it’s sometimes hard to close the eyes with all the sounds made by the little birds and animals in the forest! The owl hunts only at night. When evening comes, the animals all get to a safe place. The owl opens its big, round eyes. Any little animal around had better watch out! ③The owl mostly eats small animals like mice, but it wouldn’t say no to another bird if it gets the chance! The owl uses its fantastic hearing to find its food, and then it turns its head from side to side, using its sharp eyes to follow the animal. Finally, it flies down to get the animal. Owls have special, soft feathers, so they can fly without making any sound. Owls are such good hunters that they can even catch a fly in the air! ④The owl is quiet most of the time, except when you get too close to its home. The owl is a great mother, who will protect her babies by opening her feathers angrily. An owl will even hurt people if she thinks her babies are in danger! ⑤An owl has no teeth, so it eats an animal whole. All the parts of the animal that the owl can’t digest (消化) will end up as small pieces.

If dogs are usually quiet, they will bark (吠叫) loudly before an earthquake. And you can see some strange things on other animals. Mice leave their homes and run away. Fish jump out of the water. In Italy, lots of cats ran down the streets together. Only a few hours later, an earthquake came. In the US, a man had some small pet frogs in his house. One Sunday night, the frogs kept jumping around and made loud noise. This woke up the man. That night, again it was an earthquake and luckily, the man was saved.

Some of the largest brown bears on Earth make their home at Brooks River in Katmai National Park, Alaska. Brown bears get fat to survive (生存). And Fat Bear Week is to celebrate the bears’ success in preparation for winter hibernation (冬眠). It began in 2014. Fat Bear Week 2023 is  from October 4th to October 10th. Why are fat bears important? For bears, fat is important for survival. Katmai’s brown bears are the fattest in late summer and early autumn. During hibernation, bears do not eat or drink and can lose one-third of their body weight. Their winter survival depends on (取决于) the fat they have. To get fat, bears eat the richest food they can find. There is a lot of salmon (鲑鱼) in Brooks River. Lots of bears get together at Brooks River to enjoy salmon from late June until mid-October. Maybe bears can’t feed on salmon for so long in other rivers on Earth. So there is no other river as important as Brooks River for bears. Fat bears are successful bears. They are an example of the richness of Katmai National Park and Bristol Bay, Alaska. These places are home to more brown bears than people. Let’s see who the fattest bear is this year! 1．Why should brown bears get fat? A．To look strong. B．To survive through winter. C．To celebrate Fat Bear Week. 2．What do bears do during hibernation?

They love living in trees in warm rainforests. Monkeys are clever and lovely. Sadly, the world of monkeys is in danger. They’re losing their homes because people are cutting down the trees in the forest where they live. The warmer and warmer weather also causes lots of trouble for them. Another thing to note is that monkeys are used in scientific research. Monkeys share a lot of genes (基因) with humans and scientists study them to learn about our bodies and diseases. But this raises questions: Are they being taken care of well? What’s right or wrong in the name of science? Keeping a balance is really important. Facing so many problems, there is still hope. Governments are working together to protect them by planting trees to create new homes, making rules to reduce carbon emissions (碳排放), and looking for other ways to do research without using animals. You can help too! Saving monkeys means we’re making a better future for everyone! Monkeys are in 1 Monkey’s situation They are 2 homes because of smaller forests and the rising temperature. They are studied in science because they have many genes that are the 3 as those in people.

I’m from America. Many countries have different ideas about different animals, but when we talk about pigs, we may have the same idea of them—the pigs are ugly, lazy and stupid. Just look at the idioms (习语) in Chinese. We have “Boiling a dead pig (死猪不怕开水烫)” and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig.” And in English, they have “eating like a pig” and “sweating like a pig”. None of them are good. In fact, there are some good things about pigs. First, pigs are not stupid (愚蠢的). Their EQ is like dogs and chimpanzees (黑猩猩). They can remember things for a long time. And some pigs can learn things from people. Second, pigs are very clean animals. On farms, they live in dirty places, so they are very dirty. In the wild (野外), pigs are often clean. Third, pigs are very friendly animals. Some people keep them as pets. Of course, people keep the small kind, not the big kind. Small pigs are very cute. There are cute pigs in cartoons, too. Peppa Pig, for example, a UK cartoon, becomes popular in many countries. The four pigs in the cartoon teach children about love, friendship and family. In China, we have McDull (麦兜), a pig who works hard to make his dream come true. 1．Are there any good things about pigs? 2．How long can pigs remember things? 3．What does Bob think of pigs? 4．Do you like pigs? Why or why not? 14 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 15 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
