These gentle giants live in family groups led by the oldest female, called the matriarch.​ African elephants have many amazing features. Their trunks are one of their most useful body parts—they use trunks to pick up food, drink water, and even communicate with other elephants. An elephant’s trunk has over 40,000 muscles, making it very strong and flexible. They also have large ears that help them stay cool in the hot African sun. The ears are shaped like the continent of Africa!​ Unlike Asian elephants, African elephants have tusks on both males and females. Tusks are actually long teeth that grow throughout their lives. They use tusks to dig for water, strip bark from trees, and protect themselves. However, poachers hunt elephants for their tusks, which are made of ivory. This has led to a sharp decline in the African elephant population.​ African elephants are herbivores, meaning they eat only plants. They spend up to 16 hours a day eating grass, leaves, bark, and fruit. They can drink up to 200 liters of water in one day! These animals play an important role in the ecosystem—they help spread seeds through their dung and create water holes that other animals use.​ Today, African elephants are classified as endangered. Many countries have made poaching illegal, and conservation groups are working to protect their habitats. It’s important for us to learn about these amazing animals and support efforts to save them.​ 1.What is the leader of an African elephant family group called?​ A. Patriarch B. Matriarch C. King D. Queen​ 2.Which of the following is NOT a use of an African elephant’s trunk?​ A. Picking up food B. Drinking water C. Digging for water D. Communicating​ 3.Why are African elephants hunted by poachers?​ A. For their meat B. For their ears C. For their tusks D. For their dung​ 4.How much water can an African elephant drink in one day?​ A. Up to 100 liters B. Up to 150 liters C. Up to 200 liters D. Up to 250 liters​ 5.What can we do to protect African elephants?​ A. Hunt them for ivory B. Destroy their habitats​ C. Support conservation groups D. Use their tusks to make products​ 十一、任务型阅读​ 阅读短文，根据短文内容完成图表。​ Bees: Tiny Workers That Save the World​ Bees are small insects, but they are essential to our planet. There are over 20,000 species of bees around the world, and each has an important job to do.​ The most important work of bees is pollination. When bees collect nectar from flowers, pollen sticks to their bodies. As they fly from flower to flower, they transfer the pollen, which helps plants produce fruits and seeds. About 80 percent of the world’s food crops depend on bee pollination, including apples, oranges, and tomatoes.​ Bees also produce honey. They collect nectar from flowers and carry it back to their honeycombs. Worker bees turn the nectar into honey by breaking it down with enzymes and removing water. Honey is a natural sweetener that humans have enjoyed for thousands of years. It also has antibacterial properties and can be used to treat small wounds.​ Bees live in colonies with three types of bees: the queen bee, worker bees, and drones. The queen bee is the only female that lays eggs—she can lay up to 2,000 eggs a day! Worker bees are female bees that do all the work: collecting nectar, building honeycombs, and taking care of the young. Drones are male bees whose only job is to mate with the queen.​ However, bees are facing many threats. Pollution, habitat loss, and the use of harmful pesticides are causing the bee population to drop. We can help protect bees by planting bee-friendly flowers, avoiding pesticides, and supporting local beekeepers.​ ​ Aspect of Bees​ Details​ Number of species​ Over 1.____________ around the world​ Most important work​ 2.____________, which helps plants produce fruits and seeds​ Crops dependent on bees​ About 3.____________ of the world’s food crops (e.g., apples, oranges, tomatoes)​ Products produced​ 4.____________, a natural sweetener with antibacterial properties​ Types of bees in a colony​ Queen bee, 5.____________, and drones​ Ways to protect bees​ Planting bee-friendly flowers, avoiding pesticides, and supporting local beekeepers​ ​ ​​ 答案​ 一、根据句意及首字母或汉语提示完成单词​ pollination 2.
