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. 26．Kangaroos jump on their ________. A．front legs B．hind legs C．tails D．pouches 27．A kangaroo can jump as high as ________ meters. A．9 B．10 C．3 D．20 28．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 B Which animal is the fastest hunter on land? The answer is the cheetah (猎豹). A cheetah weighs from 40 kg to 65 kg when it grows up. Its body is as long as from 115 cm to 135 cm. It is difficult to tell if a cheetah is “him” or “her” by its looks alone, although “he” seems to be a little larger than “her” and usually has bigger heads. But you can easily tell leopards (豹子) from cheetahs: Cheetahs are shorter in body, but they have longer tails and legs, so they seem more streamlined (流线型的). A cheetah can run as fast as a car. And no matter how fast it runs, it holds its head still (不动的): This way, it can centre on its prey (猎物) while running after it. How does a cheetah do this? Cheetahs have special inner ears. The inner ears are the inner part of the ears, which help the body stay balanced. The cheetah’s inner ears can feel small changes and send information to its head quickly. As a result, a cheetah can hold the head still to centre on preys, and keep balance when it changes direction while running. Scientists believe that, a long time ago, cheetahs didn’t have this kind of inner ears like they do today. They only had thin bones that allowed them to run very fast. Later, they grew special inner ears to help them “lock onto” their preys while running fast. 29．Which of the following is probably the weight of a grown-up cheetah? A．30 kg. B．50 kg. C．70 kg. D．90 kg. 30．How can we tell a leopard from a cheetah? A．A cheetah has a longer tail. B．A leopard has longer legs. C．A cheetah has a longer body. D．A leopard runs faster than a cheetah. 31．The third paragraph wants to tell us that _______. A．cheetahs’ inner ears help them run fast B．cheetahs are able to centre on preys C．cheetahs’ inner ears help them catch preys D．running fast is important to catching preys C The blue whale (鲸) is the largest animal alive today. And one of these whales made a long journey through the South Pacific. The whale named Isabellla was first recorded near the Galapagos Islands, west of Costa Rica. Years later, people saw Isabellla off the coast (海岸) of Chile in South America. The two places are about 5,200 kilometres away. Blue whales are found in all the world’s oceans (海洋) but live in deep waters. So there are few places where they can be found easily. What’s more, they were almost driven (驱逐) by whaling (捕鲸业) a century ago. Their number is increasing (增加). But because there are so few of the animals, they are still thought endangered (濒危的). One blue whale may look like any other to most of us. But each animal has special spots (斑点). “We use those spots as the fingerprints (指纹) of blue whales,” Torres Florez says. To make the comparison (对比) job easier, scientists mainly watch the area around a whale’s dorsal fin (鳍), which is on its back. “Comparing those spots, we are able to tell if a whale is the same whale we saw in different places or if the same whale is seen during different years in the same place,” he says. Isabella is not the only blue whale to travel so far, the scientists say. Whales migrate regularly (定期地) from Chile to the Galapagos. In summer months, waters in the far southern Pacific are full of krill (磷虾), but that food disappears (消失) in winter. That’s when the whales travel north to warm, tropical (热带的) waters near the Galapagos. There, instead of feeding, the whales give birth to babies. Scientists don’t know why whales like to have babies in tropical waters. But the ocean there may be warmer and calmer and have fewer killer whales that would feed on baby blue whales, according to Torres Florez. 32．What can we infer about blue whales in Paragraph 2? A．They are not in danger any more. B．It’s difficult for scientists to study them. C．They can’t live well in a new place. D．People can see them anywhere. 33．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．How to study blue whales. B．The spots of blue whales. C．How to find out the exact blue whale. D．The lifestyles of blue whales. 34．What does the underlined word “migrate” mean in Chinese? A．演变 B．分离 C．迁徙 D．繁殖 35．According to Torres Florez, whales like to have babies in tropical waters because ________. A．there is enough food for baby blue whales B．they don’t have enemies (敌人) there C．it’s easy for them to find a mate (配偶) there D．it’s easy for baby blue whales to stay alive there D Animals grow up in different ways. Some newborn animals are helpless but their mothers protect them. A newborn kangaroo is very small. It is only a few centimeters long. It closes its eyes and doesn’t have hair. It stays safe in its mother’s pouch（育儿袋）for a long time. A newborn monkey can’t walk. Its mother carries it everywhere. Other baby animals can walk soon after they’re born. They learn to run with their mothers when danger is near. A baby zebra can run an hour after it is born. Some baby animals are born in a place that is safe. Baby wolves are usually born in big holes with little light. Other baby animals are born in the open. A baby elephant is often born on open land. Animals that drink their mothers’ milk are called mammals（哺乳动物）. A mother bear’s milk is rich. Baby bears have milk for a few months. This is the same with baby zebras. As baby animals grow, they need solid（固体）food. Baby lions eat what their mother can catch. 36．According to the passage, many newborn animals need their mothers’ help because the babies can’t . A．eat any food B．look after themselves C．walk by themselves D．drink milk 37．A newborn monkey’s mother carries it everywhere because . A．it is small B．it closes its eyes C．it can’t walk D．danger is near 38．Baby wolves are usually born in a(n) place. A．safe B．bright C．open D．small 39．Newborn mammals’ main food is . A．milk B．mother’s milk C．solid food D．smaller animals 40．How many kinds of baby animals are mentioned（被提及）in this passage? A．Five. B．Six. C．Seven. D．Eight. （二）阅读下面短文，从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺，结构完整，其中有一项是多余选项。 Last winter, I went to Moscow myself. My children worried about me a lot. 41 . But I still wanted to have a vacation in Moscow.

People keep taking their living places to make more space for farms and buildings. This will lead to less and less food and space for wildlife. Moreover, wild animals face serious problems in the wild. People hunt wild animals for their fur, bones or other parts of their body. We protect wild animals not only because wild animals are our friends but also because wild animals help keep a balance between humans and nature. If there are no wild animals, there will be no humans. Therefore, we must take action to save wild animals. First, we shouldn’t buy fur coats any more. Second, we can write to the government and give some advice. Last but not least, we should call on everybody to know the importance of wildlife. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
