They live by themselves. Before, pandas were in some parts of Asia, such as Vietnam and Burma. But now, most of them live in some places in China. Pandas spend about 12 hours eating every day. They eat lots of bamboo. They go from one place to another to find fresh bamboo. Sometimes, they eat fruit, other plants and some fish too. Pandas like cold and wet places. Their black-and-white fur keeps them warm. Pandas are good at climbing. When people or other animals chase (追赶) them, they can quickly climb the tree near them. They have good hearing. This helps them get away from other dangerous animals. There are about 1,900 wild pandas in China. The big problem is that their living places are smaller and smaller. China knows this problem. It is trying hard to help pandas. Now, China builds some special places. These places are big for pandas to live in. 1．Where did pandas live before?   2．Where do most pandas live now?   3．How long do pandas spend eating every day?   4．What else do pandas eat besides (除……之外还) bamboo?   5．Why does China build special places for pandas? 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答下列问题。 I’m Jerry.

We know there are many different kinds of animals all over the world, such as tigers, lions, elephants and pandas. I think some animals are friendly and some are dangerous. And my favourite animal is the elephant. Elephants are big. They mainly live in Africa and Asia. The shapes and sizes of African elephants and Asian elephants are different. They like eating plants and fruits. They like drinking water, too. But they don’t eat meat. Elephants are good at carrying things with their long noses. Besides, they can do many things for people. Look at that elephant in the photos. It comes from Thailand. It can help people look after babies. How cute and kind it is! 根据语篇内容，回答下列问题。 1．What does Dick think of animals? 2．What are the differences between African elephants and Asian elephants? 3．What do elephants like eating? 4．How do the elephants carry things? 5．Do you like elephants? Why? One day, a group of tourists from Australia climbed a large rock in the Central Park of New York City. They took pictures of one another with the high-rise buildings in the background. Like many other tourists, they didn’t realize that high in a nearby tree, there was something more worthy of attention: an eagle-owl (雕鸮) named Flaco. Earlier that month, the bird Flaco made his great escape (逃跑) from the Central Park Zoo. The zookeepers then tried several times to catch him but were unsuccessful. He seemed to be in no hurry to return to the zoo. Olga Torrey, a photographer, has been photographing animals in city parks for 12 years. Since Flaco escaped, Torrey has kept a close eye on him. She wondered if he would ever return to the zoo. “Once he gets a taste of freedom, I’m not sure...” she said. Still, each day spent outside puts Flaco in danger. He might accidentally (意外地) hit windows and get injured (受伤) while flying. Moreover, the eagle-owl lived his whole life in the zoo in the past. He may not be used to finding food on his own. And if he made a meal of a rat, it might harm his health—the rat might contain poison (含有毒物). The zoo has had the workers carefully watch Flaco all the time, as they are worried about his safety. Has Flaco eaten anything today? Has he got injured today? Well, another day of watching has now begun. 1．Where did Flaco escape from? 2．If Flaco made a meal of a rat, what might happen to him? 3．Why do the zoo workers keep watching Flaco carefully? 4．Should we get Flaco back to the zoo? Why or why not? 阅读下文并回答问题。 Jane goes to the Yang Jiaping zoo with her parents to see pandas. Because pandas are her favourite animals. She knows a lot about pandas. Pandas live in China.

For a long time, scientists didn’t know much about Greenland sharks. It is hard to study them because they are difficult to find! Greenland sharks live in the cold, deep waters of the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic Ocean (北大西洋). In these cold waters, they swim only about 1.6 kilometres per hour. That is slower than many human swimmers! Why do Greenland sharks swim slowly? Scientists think it is because of their cold water home. That makes their body move very slowly. When Greenland sharks are in cold waters, their bodies become cold and slow down. They cannot move as fast as they can in warm waters. There is another amazing fact about the Greenland shark. It lives longer than any other vertebrate (脊椎动物). Scientists say that the Greenland shark can live up to about 500 years. How can it live so long? Because it has a quite slow metabolism (新陈代谢). The Greenland shark doesn’t need much food because it uses its energy very slowly. Its slow metabolism helps it live much longer. Next time you feel you are slow, don’t worry! it is not always bad. Like the Greenland shark, you can be strong, live long, and even have an amazing life. 1．Why is it hard for scientists to study Greenland sharks? 2．How fast can Greenland sharks swim in cold waters? 3．How do Greenland sharks’ bodies change in cold waters? 4．What makes the Greenland shark live long? 5．What can you learn from the Greenland shark? 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题   I have always loved birds. As a child, I spent hours every day reading books about them. At the beginning of Grade 7, I joined a birdwatching club at my school. And so my birdwatching journey started. The club opened up a new world for me. It taught me how to spot birds hiding in the trees, recognize their songs, and tell the difference between species(种类). In my free time, I often watched birds in a park near my home. Each time I found a new bird, it felt like finding a hidden treasure and my interest grew. Birdwatching soon became more than just a hobby—it became part of my life. Whenever I traveled to a new place, I would look for birds there. Spending time outdoors was a joy for me and brought me closer to nature. Last summer, I went on a ten-day birdwatching trip to Yunnan with the birdwatching club. It was my first time to go birdwatching with a group, and it deepened my love for the activity! We woke up early each day to watch birds in the trees and listen to their songs. I found many new species and learnt more about them. With tall trees and birds singing all around, I felt relaxed and all my worries were gone. This trip was so unforgettable! Looking back, I see how much birdwatching means to me. It’s a simple hobby for everyone because you don’t need much to get started. So come and join me. Maybe you’ll be surprised at how birdwatching can help you connect with the world around you. 1．When did the writer join the birdwatching club? 2．Where did the writer often watch birds in his free time? 3．What trip did the writer go on last summer? 4．Would you like to try birdwatching in your free time?

It’s very nice and quiet. I like to live there. But I have to go to school in the city. So on the weekend (周末) I often go there to help my uncle. I often help him feed cows, chickens and pigs. The yellow dogs like to run around me and I like to play with them. The ducks like to swim in the river. The pigs like to sleep. When they are hungry, they can eat a lot.

The 15-year-old boy is one of the volunteers who take care of the alpacas together with the school’s workers. “These cute animals are definitely (绝对地) our school’s ‘treasure’”! During the break, the alpacas always come to the playground to watch the students doing group exercises. At the end of the day, they sit in front of the school gate to see students off. “They give us great company (陪伴),” said Zhang. Zhang’s volunteer job is to prevent students from hurting the animals. For example, some students may feed alpacas with the wrong food brought from the school canteen. That’s not healthy for them. Some students may also frighten (惊吓) the animals for fun. It is Zhang’s job to stop them. “Alpacas are very timid (胆小的),” said Zhang. “If you scare them, they will spit (吐口水) at you to protect themselves. But they are smart and gentle in nature. They will treat you the way you treat them.” The volunteers also need to help school workers clean the alpacas’ home—a small wooden pen (围栏) built beside an office building. “We need to put hay inside. The smell there is quite strong,” said Zhang. “But by doing this, we learn to take responsibility. After all, these furry animals have brought us so much fun and comforted (安慰) us when we felt upset. We should take good care of them in return.” 1．What will you meet if you visit Beijing 101 Middle School? 2．How old is Zhang Ruixuan? 3．Some food brought from the school canteen would hurt alpacas, wouldn’t it? 4．How do volunteers clean the alpacas’ home? 5．Do you think it is a good idea to have alpacas on campus?

On 13 March, we celebrate Thai (泰国) Elephant Day. Elephants look very different from other animals. They are huge. They have large ears and long trunks (象鼻) . They can pick up and carry heavy things with their trunks. Elephants are like us in some ways. They are clever. For example, they can remember one another and places with food and water after many years. Elephants are very kind too. They look after other elephants when they don’t feel well. The big elephants also help the baby ones. Elephants are an important part of Thai life and culture. However, they are in danger. Because people take away their home and kill them for their ivory (象牙) . Humans and animals are friends.

They are home to many microorganisms and play a crucial role in the food chain. Animals help in pollination. Bees and butterflies carry pollen from one flower to another, which helps plants reproduce. We use animals in many ways, like using horses for transportation in some areas and cows for milk production. However, many animals are in danger. People are cutting down forests, which destroys animals’ habitats. Pollution also makes it hard for animals to survive. To solve this problem, we should protect their habitats. We can plant trees to restore the forests. We can also reduce pollution by using less plastic and saving energy. 1．Why are animals important for plants? 2．What can we use animals for? 3．What’s the problem with animals? 4．What should we do to solve the problem? 5．Do you think it’s necessary to protect animals? Why or why not? 6．What other ways can you think of to protect animals? 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Did you know that birds, bees, butterflies, and even bats can be pollinators (传粉者)? Animals that are pollinators fly from flower to flower to find food. Some pollinators eat a flower’s pollen. Pollen looks like dust on the flower. Some pollinators drink nectar from flowers. Nectar is a special sugar water that some plants make. No matter what they’re eating, when pollinators go from flower to flower, they do important work. They spread pollen from one flower to the next. This spreading of pollen is very important for plants, animals, and even people. They help plants grow bigger and stronger. Flowers need their pollen to spread in order to make new seeds (种子) and fruit. Some of those new seeds will grow into flowers in the future. Some of the seeds and fruit are food that wild animals can eat. And some seeds and fruit are also food for people. People need pollinators to help our food to grow. Nearly one of every three types of our food depends on pollinators. Foods like almonds, apples, and even coffee beans need pollinators to grow. But some pollinators are in trouble. They are dying out for many reasons. One main reason is that people used poison on some insects (昆虫) and certain plants. People used to think all insects were pests (害虫). So they would spray plants with a special type of poison to keep insects away. Some people also sprayed poison on plants like weeds (野草). They thought all weeds were bad. The poisons killed many plants that are important to pollinators. One example of a weed that was killed by poison is milkweed. Milkweed is an important plant for monarch butterflies. Monarch butterflies are pollinators, and they lay their eggs on milkweed. When their eggs hatch (孵化), caterpillars come out. The only leaves the caterpillars eat are milkweed leaves. But many poisons killed milkweed. This caused the number of monarch butterflies to drop. Groups of people worry they may all die out. Now, people are trying to help pollinators like monarch butterflies. People are planting many kinds of flowers, trees, and shrubs. They are planting flowers that bloom at different times of the year and plants that are native to their area. This is helpful because pollinators need food to eat all throughout the growing season. Pollinators help flowers, trees, and shrubs make seeds and fruit. Seeds and fruit give animals and people food. And now, people are helping pollinators! By working together, people and nature can help each other. 1．What work do pollinators do? 2．What effect do pollinators have on plants when they spread their pollen? 3．What could happen if there were no more milkweed plants for monarch butterflies to lay their eggs on? 4．How can we help pollinators? 10 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 11 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ Unit 6 Fantastic friends 单元话题（人与动物）阅读回答问题进阶练15篇（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、任务型阅读 Which one do you think is “the king of the animals”, the elephant, the lion or the tiger?

They took pictures of one another with the high-rise buildings in the background. Like many other tourists, they didn’t realize that high in a nearby tree, there was something more worthy of attention: an eagle-owl (雕鸮) named Flaco. Earlier that month, the bird Flaco made his great escape (逃跑) from the Central Park Zoo. The zookeepers then tried several times to catch him but were unsuccessful. He seemed to be in no hurry to return to the zoo. Olga Torrey, a photographer, has been photographing animals in city parks for 12 years. Since Flaco escaped, Torrey has kept a close eye on him. She wondered if he would ever return to the zoo. “Once he gets a taste of freedom, I’m not sure...” she said. Still, each day spent outside puts Flaco in danger. He might accidentally (意外地) hit windows and get injured (受伤) while flying. Moreover, the eagle-owl lived his whole life in the zoo in the past. He may not be used to finding food on his own. And if he made a meal of a rat, it might harm his health—the rat might contain poison (含有毒物). The zoo has had the workers carefully watch Flaco all the time, as they are worried about his safety. Has Flaco eaten anything today? Has he got injured today?

For a long time, scientists didn’t know much about Greenland sharks. It is hard to study them because they are difficult to find! Greenland sharks live in the cold, deep waters of the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic Ocean (北大西洋). In these cold waters, they swim only about 1.6 kilometres per hour. That is slower than many human swimmers! Why do Greenland sharks swim slowly? Scientists think it is because of their cold water home. That makes their body move very slowly. When Greenland sharks are in cold waters, their bodies become cold and slow down. They cannot move as fast as they can in warm waters. There is another amazing fact about the Greenland shark. It lives longer than any other vertebrate (脊椎动物). Scientists say that the Greenland shark can live up to about 500 years. How can it live so long? Because it has a quite slow metabolism (新陈代谢). The Greenland shark doesn’t need much food because it uses its energy very slowly. Its slow metabolism helps it live much longer. Next time you feel you are slow, don’t worry! it is not always bad. Like the Greenland shark, you can be strong, live long, and even have an amazing life. 1．Why is it hard for scientists to study Greenland sharks? 2．How fast can Greenland sharks swim in cold waters? 3．How do Greenland sharks’ bodies change in cold waters? 4．What makes the Greenland shark live long? 5．What can you learn from the Greenland shark? 【答案】1．Because they are difficult to find. 2．They can swim about 1.6 kilometres per hour. 3．Their bodies become cold and slow down. 4．Its slow metabolism. 5．It is not always bad to be slow. We can be strong, live long, and even have an amazing life. 【导语】本文介绍了格陵兰鲨这一海洋中最慢的鲨鱼，包括它的生活环境、游动速度、长寿原因等特点，并传递了“慢并非总是坏事”的道理。 1．根据“It is hard to study them because they are difficult to find!”可知，科学家难以研究格陵兰鲨是因为它们很难被找到，故填Because they are difficult to find. 2．根据“In these cold waters, they swim only about 1.6 kilometres per hour.”可知，格陵兰鲨在冷水中的游动速度约为每小时1.6公里，故填They can swim about 1.6 kilometres per hour. 3．根据“When Greenland sharks are in cold waters, their bodies become cold and slow down.”可知，格陵兰鲨在冷水中时，身体会变冷并变慢，故填Their bodies become cold and slow down. 4．根据“Its slow metabolism helps it live much longer.”可知，是缓慢的新陈代谢让格陵兰鲨长寿，故填Its slow metabolism. 5．根据“Next time you feel you are slow, don’t worry!

At the beginning of Grade 7, I joined a birdwatching club at my school. And so my birdwatching journey started. The club opened up a new world for me. It taught me how to spot birds hiding in the trees, recognize their songs, and tell the difference between species(种类). In my free time, I often watched birds in a park near my home. Each time I found a new bird, it felt like finding a hidden treasure and my interest grew. Birdwatching soon became more than just a hobby—it became part of my life. Whenever I traveled to a new place, I would look for birds there. Spending time outdoors was a joy for me and brought me closer to nature. Last summer, I went on a ten-day birdwatching trip to Yunnan with the birdwatching club. It was my first time to go birdwatching with a group, and it deepened my love for the activity! We woke up early each day to watch birds in the trees and listen to their songs. I found many new species and learnt more about them. With tall trees and birds singing all around, I felt relaxed and all my worries were gone. This trip was so unforgettable! Looking back, I see how much birdwatching means to me.

Animals that are pollinators fly from flower to flower to find food. Some pollinators eat a flower’s pollen. Pollen looks like dust on the flower. Some pollinators drink nectar from flowers. Nectar is a special sugar water that some plants make. No matter what they’re eating, when pollinators go from flower to flower, they do important work. They spread pollen from one flower to the next. This spreading of pollen is very important for plants, animals, and even people. They help plants grow bigger and stronger. Flowers need their pollen to spread in order to make new seeds (种子) and fruit. Some of those new seeds will grow into flowers in the future. Some of the seeds and fruit are food that wild animals can eat. And some seeds and fruit are also food for people. People need pollinators to help our food to grow. Nearly one of every three types of our food depends on pollinators. Foods like almonds, apples, and even coffee beans need pollinators to grow. But some pollinators are in trouble. They are dying out for many reasons. One main reason is that people used poison on some insects (昆虫) and certain plants. People used to think all insects were pests (害虫). So they would spray plants with a special type of poison to keep insects away. Some people also sprayed poison on plants like weeds (野草). They thought all weeds were bad. The poisons killed many plants that are important to pollinators. One example of a weed that was killed by poison is milkweed. Milkweed is an important plant for monarch butterflies. Monarch butterflies are pollinators, and they lay their eggs on milkweed. When their eggs hatch (孵化), caterpillars come out. The only leaves the caterpillars eat are milkweed leaves. But many poisons killed milkweed. This caused the number of monarch butterflies to drop. Groups of people worry they may all die out. Now, people are trying to help pollinators like monarch butterflies. People are planting many kinds of flowers, trees, and shrubs. They are planting flowers that bloom at different times of the year and plants that are native to their area. This is helpful because pollinators need food to eat all throughout the growing season. Pollinators help flowers, trees, and shrubs make seeds and fruit. Seeds and fruit give animals and people food. And now, people are helping pollinators! By working together, people and nature can help each other. 1．What work do pollinators do? 2．What effect do pollinators have on plants when they spread their pollen? 3．What could happen if there were no more milkweed plants for monarch butterflies to lay their eggs on? 4．How can we help pollinators? 【答案】1．They spread pollen from flower to flower. 2．They help plants grow bigger and stronger. 3．There wouldn’t be any more monarch butterflies to pollinate plants. 4．By planting many kinds of flowers, trees, and shrubs. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了传粉者的作用、面临的威胁以及人们如何帮助传粉者。 1．根据“They spread pollen from one flower to the next”可知，传粉者的工作是将花粉从一朵花传播到另一朵花。故填They spread pollen from flower to flower. 2．根据“They help plants grow bigger and stronger”可知，传粉者传播花粉有助于植物长得更大更强壮。故填They help plants grow bigger and stronger. 3．根据“Monarch butterflies are pollinators, and they lay their eggs on milkweed...This caused the number of monarch butterflies to drop”可知，如果没有马利筋，帝王蝶将无法繁殖，最终可能导致其灭绝。故填There wouldn’t be any more monarch butterflies to pollinate plants. 4．根据“People are planting many kinds of flowers, trees, and shrubs.”可知，我们可以通过种植各种花卉、树木和灌木来帮助传粉者。故填By planting many kinds of flowers, trees, and shrubs. 18 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 19 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
