Family dynamics in the animal kingdom are as different as the animals themselves. In the animal world, there are advantages to be gained from being part of an extended family.
Chimpanzees
Chimpanzees are the world’s largest living primates. These creatures are peace-loving and may live together for a lifetime. The dominant male has many wives who may stay with him for most of their lives, which can cause everyday conflicts. It is the male who settles the conflicts by a warning stare or hitting the back of the offenders’ heads.
Elephants
Females stick together in the elephant world, living in herds under a stateswoman. The experience and knowledge of this elder one, who may be 60-years-old, are of great benefit. She will remember, for example,the location of water holes and seasonal food supplies. In times of danger, the group bunches around the young and it is the stateswoman who decides whether to flee or confront the threat.
Lions
Lions are the only cats to live in a large family group, guarded by a pair of powerful males. Family life is relatively harmonious and baby lions may be fed by any mother with milk, so orphaned babies do not starve. Males live in the wilderness for some years before seeking their own pride by challenging resident males in a bloody battle. The male lion protects his pride from other males and enemies.
Ostriches (鸵鸟)
Ostriches travel in bands of 10-50 individuals, the most remarkable birds being the eight-foot-tall males. The largest birds in the world, ostriches cannot fly, but run fast. The wives of the male ostrich all put their eggs in the same nest. A primary female will then join the male to hatch (孵化) the eggs and she will push away other eggs on the outside to ensure her own are in the middle.
19.How is an elephant herd different from other three animal groups?
A.The leader should be the oldest and experienced.
B.The number of the animals in a herd must be large.
C.An experienced female elephant dominates the herd.
D.They will protect their young when they are in danger.
20.Which of the following statement is correct?
A.Baby lions often go hungry as they can’t hunt.
B.A female and a male ostriches hatch eggs jointly.
C.Elephants remember every place they have been to.
D.The female chimpanzee leader settles daily conflicts.
21.Where is this text probably taken from?
A.A text book. B.A science fiction.
C.A course plan. D.A wildlife journal.

Genei
The AI tool can deal with stories and narratives, but also with scientific texts or reports — and summarize them to a fraction of their original number of characters. You don’t have time to read a 4-page newspaper article? Genei compresses (压缩) the content into a few clear bullet points. A colleague writes pages of emails? Genei saves you having to read all the paragraphs and gets to the heart of the matter.
Beautiful. ai
Beautiful. ai can create individual, modern, and quite appealing presentations without you having to spend hours on design, structure, or graphics. With the service, you no longer have to sit up late at night working on individual slides and adjusting word sizes or line spacing; the AI dees it all in real time and depending on the graphics selected and the text fed in.

Chatuchak Weekend Market — Bangkok, Thailand
The Chatuchak Weekend Market is claimed to be the world’s largest weekend market, which makes it hard to navigate for newcomers. As such, grab one of the free market maps from the information booth. It will help you from getting lost! You’ll hear loud music from eclectic fashion stalls, smell the scent of Thai street food cooking, and see groups of people moving about. Everything is pretty cheap here, so don’t feel that you need to get down on price too much.
Souks of Marrakech — Marrakesh, Morocco
As the most famous group of street markets in the world, souks of Marrakech have over 3, 000 stalls and food vendors (摊贩) selling everything from multi-colored Moroccan carpets to spices, antiques and tagines. Valuable goods such as gold and delicate handicrafts are located in the center of the market, and the items become less expensive as you work your way out. It can be hot here, so the best time to visit is in the morning or for a pleasant evening walk.

Family dynamics in the animal kingdom are as different as the animals themselves. In the animal world, there are advantages to be gained from being part of an extended family.
Chimpanzees
Chimpanzees are the world’s largest living primates. These creatures are peace-loving and may live together for a lifetime. The dominant male has many wives who may stay with him for most of their lives, which can cause everyday conflicts. It is the male who settles the conflicts by a warning stare or hitting the back of the offenders’ heads.
Elephants
Females stick together in the elephant world, living in herds under a stateswoman. The experience and knowledge of this elder one, who may be 60-years-old, are of great benefit. She will remember, for example,the location of water holes and seasonal food supplies. In times of danger, the group bunches around the young and it is the stateswoman who decides whether to flee or confront the threat.
Lions
Lions are the only cats to live in a large family group, guarded by a pair of powerful males. Family life is relatively harmonious and baby lions may be fed by any mother with milk, so orphaned babies do not starve. Males live in the wilderness for some years before seeking their own pride by challenging resident males in a bloody battle. The male lion protects his pride from other males and enemies.
Ostriches (鸵鸟)
Ostriches travel in bands of 10-50 individuals, the most remarkable birds being the eight-foot-tall males. The largest birds in the world, ostriches cannot fly, but run fast. The wives of the male ostrich all put their eggs in the same nest. A primary female will then join the male to hatch (孵化) the eggs and she will push away other eggs on the outside to ensure her own are in the middle.
19.How is an elephant herd different from other three animal groups?
A.The leader should be the oldest and experienced.
B.The number of the animals in a herd must be large.
C.An experienced female elephant dominates the herd.
D.They will protect their young when they are in danger.
20.Which of the following statement is correct?
A.Baby lions often go hungry as they can’t hunt.
B.A female and a male ostriches hatch eggs jointly.
C.Elephants remember every place they have been to.
D.The female chimpanzee leader settles daily conflicts.
21.Where is this text probably taken from?
A.A text book. B.A science fiction.
C.A course plan. D.A wildlife journal.
【答案】19.C 20.B 21.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了动物王国中不同动物家庭结构的情况。
19.细节理解题。根据Chimpanzees部分中“The dominant male has many wives who may stay with him for most of their lives, which can cause everyday conflicts.(占主导地位的雄性有很多妻子,这些妻子可能会陪伴他一生的大部分时间,这可能会导致日常冲突)”、Elephants部分中“Females stick together in the elephant world, living in herds under a stateswoman.(在大象的世界里,雌象团结在一起,在女领袖的领导下群居)”、Lions部分中“Lions are the only cats to live in a large family group, guarded by a pair of powerful males.(狮子是唯一生活在大家庭中的猫科动物,由一对强大的雄性守护)”和Ostriches (鸵鸟)部分“Ostriches travel in bands of 10-50 individuals, the most remarkable birds being the eight-foot-tall males.(鸵鸟以10-50只为一群,最引人注目的是8英尺高的雄性)”可知,象群与其他三个动物群体不同之处是象群由一头经验丰富的母象统治。故选C项。
20.细节理解题。根据Ostriches (鸵鸟)部分中“A primary female will then join the male to hatch (孵化) the eggs and she will push away other eggs on the outside to ensure her own are in the middle.(一只主要的雌性会和雄性一起孵化蛋,她会推开外面的其他蛋,以确保自己的蛋在中间)”可知,雌鸵鸟和雄鸵鸟一起孵蛋。故选B项。
21.推理判断题。通读全文,结合第一段“Family dynamics in the animal kingdom are as different as the animals themselves. In the animal world, there are advantages to be gained from being part of an extended family.(动物王国的家庭动态就像动物本身一样不同。在动物世界里,作为大家庭的一员是有好处的)”和下文内容可知,文章介绍了动物王国中不同动物的家庭结构,所以文章很可能出自野生动物杂志。故选D项。
