Cats are gentle animal friends; they like to stay with their owners and bring them comfort when they are sad. 2. 素养体现 该主题对应的英语核心素养主要体现在语言能力、文化意识、思维品质和学习能力四个方面。语言能力上，侧重培养学生理解和获取动物相关语篇信息的能力，以及用英语描述动物的表达能力；文化意识上，引导学生了解不同国家对动物的认知差异和保护动物的共同理念；思维品质上，通过分析语篇中动物与人类的关系，培养学生的逻辑推理和辩证思考能力；学习能力上，促使学生掌握阅读动物主题语篇的方法，形成自主积累相关词汇句式的习惯。 3. 策略要求 针对“Animal Friends ”主题的阅读，对学生的阅读策略提出了明确要求，主要包括略读、寻读、猜测词义、归纳主旨等。略读要求学生快速把握语篇的核心话题（如介绍某种宠物、讲述人与动物的故事、呼吁保护动物等）；寻读要求学生精准定位语篇中关于动物特征、习性、与人互动等关键信息；猜测词义要求学生结合上下文语境，理解与动物相关的陌生词汇；归纳主旨要求学生梳理语篇逻辑，总结作者传递的核心观点（如关爱动物的重要性）。 4. 文化品质 该主题蕴含丰富的文化品质，一方面展现了不同文化背景下人们与动物相处的共性——都将动物视为重要的伙伴，重视对动物的保护；另一方面也体现了文化差异，如不同国家对特定动物的象征意义有不同解读，部分国家有独特的宠物文化或动物保护传统。通过阅读相关语篇，学生能拓宽文化视野，增强跨文化理解能力，同时树立全球共通的动物保护意识。 ◇Part 02 词句策略积累 一、主题词汇 （1）动物种类 dog 狗；cat 猫；rabbit 兔子；hamster 仓鼠；goldfish 金鱼；bird 鸟；parrot 鹦鹉；pigeon 鸽子；duck 鸭子；chicken 鸡；goose 鹅；pig 猪；cow 牛；sheep 绵羊；horse 马；tiger 老虎；lion 狮子；elephant 大象；panda 熊猫；bear 熊；monkey 猴子；fox 狐狸；wolf 狼；deer 鹿；snake 蛇；frog 青蛙；butterfly 蝴蝶；bee 蜜蜂；dragonfly 蜻蜓；fish 鱼 （2）动物外形特征 small 小的；big 大的；long 长的；short 短的；tall 高的；short 矮的；thin 瘦的；fat 胖的；strong 强壮的；weak 虚弱的；round 圆的；square 方形的；soft 柔软的；hard 坚硬的；smooth 光滑的；rough 粗糙的；white 白色的；black 黑色的；brown 棕色的；yellow 黄色的；red 红色的；blue 蓝色的；gray 灰色的；fluffy 毛茸茸的；furry 毛茸茸的；feather 羽毛；tail 尾巴；ear 耳朵；eye 眼睛；nose 鼻子；mouth 嘴巴；paw 爪子；wing 翅膀 （3）动物生活习性 eat 吃；drink 喝；sleep 睡觉；run 跑；jump 跳；swim 游泳；fly 飞；climb 爬；walk 走；sing 唱；bark 吠叫；meow 喵喵叫；chirp 鸣叫；live 生活；live in 居住在；feed 喂养；clean 清洁；play 玩耍；hunt 捕猎；rest 休息；wake up 醒来；go to sleep 入睡 （4）人与动物关系 pet 宠物；owner 主人；friend 朋友；love 爱；like 喜欢；care 照顾；take care of 照顾；look after 照顾；protect 保护；save 拯救；help 帮助；accompany 陪伴；loyal 忠诚的；friendly 友好的；gentle 温和的；cute 可爱的；lovely 可爱的；smart 聪明的；clever 聪明的；brave 勇敢的 二、主题句式 （1）描述动物外形 This is a...

It is small and fluffy, and it likes to run in a wheel”，结合“small and fluffy”（小且毛茸茸的）和“run in a wheel”（在轮子上跑）的语境线索，可猜测“hamster”是一种小型的、毛茸茸的宠物，即“仓鼠”。 4. 主旨归纳策略——梳理语篇核心观点 策略分析：主旨归纳策略用于总结“Animal Friends ”主题语篇的中心思想或作者的核心观点，培养学生的逻辑思维能力。实施时，学生需在阅读完整篇语篇后，整合略读和寻读获取的信息，剔除无关细节，提炼出语篇的核心。对于介绍类语篇，主旨通常是“介绍某类/某只动物的基本情况”；对于故事类语篇，主旨可能是“讲述人与动物之间的感人故事，体现动物的忠诚”；对于倡议类语篇，主旨则是“呼吁人们保护动物，善待动物朋友”。 应用示例：阅读语篇《Save the Pandas》，通过略读可知语篇介绍了熊猫的生存现状（数量稀少、栖息地破坏），并列举了保护熊猫的措施，结合末段“We must work together to save pandas”，可归纳出语篇主旨：介绍熊猫的生存困境，呼吁人们共同保护熊猫。 5. 语境推理策略——理解深层含义 策略分析：在“Animal Friends ”主题阅读中，部分语篇的深层含义（如作者对动物的情感、语篇传递的价值观）并非直接表述，需要运用语境推理策略。实施时，学生需结合语篇的上下文语境、作者的用词（如褒义词“lovely”“loyal”“brave”）、描述的场景等，推断出作者的隐含意图。该策略能帮助学生深入理解语篇内涵，提升思维品质。 应用示例：阅读句子“When I was ill, my dog stayed by my bed all day and never left. It licked my hand as if to say 'Don't worry'”，结合“stayed by my bed all day”“never left”“licked my hand”等细节描述，可推断出作者想表达“狗对自己的忠诚和陪伴，以及自己对狗的感激之情”，深层传递了“动物是人类真挚朋友”的价值观。 ◇Part 03 阅读强化训练 提｜升｜练｜习 1 Henry’s class are studying birds for Bird Week at school.

It lived happily and safely until humans arrived in 1505. European sailors discovered the bird in 1507 on Mauritius Island in the Indian Ocean. When the sailors found the strange bird could not fly, they were surprised. The Europeans on Mauritius Island and the pigs they brought with them found the birds very good to eat. So large numbers of dodos were killed and by 1681 no living dodos were found on the island. A few dodos were brought to England in the 17th century. Humans didn’t know how to protect the birds. They caused the dodos’ extinction. This is how the phrase “as dead as a dodo” came. Because they died out completely, dodos became very well-known.

In about two months, volunteers will take the baby turtles back to the water.” Although the process is hard, it’s not all work for the Coopers.

There are many interesting things along the way, and best of all, there will be a surprise at the end of the trail.” “What kind of surprise?” asked Jenny. “It won’t be a surprise if we tell you,” laughed her mom. “The sooner you get ready to go, the sooner you’ll find out.” They set out for hiking soon. It was a good day for seeing wildlife. Along the trail, the trees were filled with kinds of birds flying around. Hearing a noise in the grass, they stopped and saw two rabbits crossing the trail. After a while, Mike noticed several monkeys in the trees and Mr. Smith took photos before they ran away. Then, they continued their hiking. Jenny and Mike were discussing what kind of snake they had just seen on the way. At this moment, they came to an open area with some small pools. The kids’ eyes grew wide. They looked at their parents. “Is this the surprise?” asked Mike in excitement. Mr. and Mrs. Smith smiled as they walked over to one of the small pools. Steam (蒸汽) rose into the air. “They’re hot springs (温泉),” explained Mr. Smith. “The heat is produced from inside Earth.” “Could we have a bath (洗澡) in the spring if we have our bathing suits?” asked Jenny. Mrs. Smith nodded. “Your bathing suits are in the bag.” She laughed, putting her feet into the spring water. “I can’t believe it! Mom and Dad. This is a great surprise.” Jumped Jenny. 43．The Smiths woke up earlier because of ________.

First she runs the cleaner in the living room. Hero hides in the kitchen. We always laugh at Hero. “Why are you afraid?” We ask, “The vacuum cleaner can’t hurt you.” But sometimes I am afraid of things, too. I am afraid to be alone in the dark. And I know the dark can’t hurt me. I guess it’s the same way with Hero. He is afraid without knowing why. A few weeks ago, Mum brought my new baby sister home. Her name is Barbie. She has a room of her own. Hero seems to know it is hers. Last Saturday, Mum was cleaning the house again. Barbie was sleeping in her room. Hero was in the living room. Mum began to run the cleaner in the living room. Hero jumped out from a chair. He ran towards my room. But then he stopped. He sat down at Barbie’s door. Mum went on running the cleaner. She ran it closer and closer to Hero. But Hero didn’t move! Then Mum ran the cleaner right up to his front feet. Hero shook all over. He was really afraid. But he didn’t let Mum get by. “You can’t take the cleaner into Barbie’s room,” he seemed to say, “I am taking care of Barbie.” Mum says that Hero has the right name. He is a real hero. He is brave. “Being brave is not the same as not being afraid,” Mum says. Being brave means that you do what you have to do. You do it even if you are afraid. Hero knew what he had to do. He had to take care of Barbie. So he did. 47．The writer is afraid of ________. A．dogs B．Barbie C．the vacuum cleaner D．being alone in the dark 48．In this passage, the underlined sentence “Hero shook all over.” means that ________.

B．Because he isn’t afraid of most things. C．Because he loves the name very much. D．Because he could catch a lot of thieves. 13 A baby owl (猫头鹰) fell out of its nest last week on Washington Boulevard. The bird got help from people at a bird sanctuary. A sanctuary is a place where animals are kept safe. The workers at the Pelican (鹈鹕) Man’s Bird Sanctuary cared for the bird at their hospital. Then they returned the bird to its nest. The baby owl fell 40 feet. Luckily, it was not hurt badly. The workers at the hospital fed the bird. They kept it warm and safe. The baby owl looked like a soft white ball and its eyes were still closed. The workers asked a tree service to help them put the bird back in its nest. The tree service used a crane (起重机) with a long neck to put the baby owl back carefully. The workers thought the other baby probably pushed the baby bird out of its nest. The team went back after two days to check on the baby owl. Its parents were feeding and taking care of it. The baby owl was safe. The sanctuary was started by Dale Shields. Dale was called the “Pelican Man” because at first he only helped pelicans. Later he and his helpers started saving any animals in need. So far they have helped birds, deer, bats, foxes, turtles, and frogs. Wild animals get hurt in many ways. For example, water birds get hurt in fishing lines. Animals are also hit by cars or boats. Water and land pollution hurts animals, too. Many of the animals the sanctuary helps are in danger. The workers want to help make sure the animals don’t die out. People call the sanctuary when they see a hurt bird or other wildlife. Sanctuary workers go to pick up the animals. Then they take the animal to the hospital. Their work helps many animals survive. Half of the animals the sanctuary helped finally returned to the wild. Other animals, like Moe, need special care. Moe is a swan who was hurt by a dog. It lost one of its wings, so it can’t fly. Today, Moe and other animals like him live at the sanctuary. 51．From the passage we know that ________. A．now Dale Shields only helps pelicans B．the baby owl fell 40 feet and it was badly hurt C．the father owl pushed the baby bird out of the nest D．50% of the animals the sanctuary helped returned to the wild 52．The underlined word “survive” in Paragraph 7 means ________. A．live on B．keep safe C．live happily D．die out 53．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Dale loves helping animals. B．The baby owl was saved successfully. C．The sanctuary workers try hard to protect animals. D．Many animals at the sanctuary feel safe and warm. 14 Wild beavers are back. Experts say that the wild beaver families are doing well. The beavers are even boosting wildlife and the environment! Over ten years ago, a family of beavers turned up in a part of the River Otter, in Devon. No one knew where they came from. It was a big surprise—wild beavers hadn’t lived in England for around 400 years! In 2015, the government allowed the beavers to stay there as part of a trial (试验) . They wanted to see if these animals could be reintroduced to the wild. The trial ended in February, 2020. Scientists from the University of Exeter already concluded the beavers can help the wildlife in the area. One scientist called it “an amazing story”. A lot of this is because of dams (水坝) . Beavers build dams along the river. This creates deep pools in the riverbed and slows the water down. Scientists say this is perfect for many different types of plants and animals. Many plants are growing near the beavers. Different types of animals are also becoming more and more in the river. Beavers also help make flooding less, scientists say. The beavers’ dams slow down the speed of the river, especially after heavy rain. There are, however, some problems. Beavers gnaw (咬) on trees and this can harm them. Their dams can also sometimes create floods on people’s land. Beavers aren’t the only animals that are being reintroduced to the wild! In 2019, red squirrels were brought back to an area of the Scottish Highlands. Further away, the world’s rarest duck, the Madagascar pochard, is making a comeback. It was set free into the wild on the African island in 2019 and is doing well. Who knows what other animals might be making a comeback? 54．What does the underlined word “boosting” mean in Paragraph 1? A．Helping. B．Producing. C．Building. D．Making. 55．The government did a trial first because they wanted to ________. A．introduce many other kinds of plants and animals B．see if the beavers could be brought back to the wild C．set up more natural parks to help beavers live better D．build some dams to protect other animals in danger 56．How do you think animal lovers feel about the news? A．Sad. B．Worried. C．Pleased. D．Surprised. 15 ①Beavers (海狸) , known as “nature’s engineers”, play a surprising role in protecting the environment. Scientists found that beavers do good things for the world around us. According to a new study, beavers do helps stop flooding (洪水) and pollution and can increase populations of fish and other wildlife. ②Scientists from the University Exeter watched wild beavers living on the River Otter in Devon for five years. Beavers build dams (大坝) across rivers with sticks and mud (泥土). These dams create ponds. These ponds become homes for other animals. The ponds work like natural cleaners. When rain washes soil and chemicals from farms into rivers, the dams stop up to 70% of this dirty stuff (东西). The scientists found 37% more fish living in the ponds made by beavers than in other parts of the river. Cleaner water helps all living things stay healthy! ③During storms, the dams slow floodwater by 50%. This protects nearby villages and farms. The slowed water also spreads into new wetlands, creating homes for birds, frogs, and insects. Sometimes the dams cause small floods on farmland. But people can make small changes to the dams, like adding pipes. This way, both people and animals are happy. ④Beavers were hunted until they died out in England 500 years ago. Surprisingly, they appeared on the River Otter in 2008 again. At first, the government wanted to hunt them, but the green protectors showed how important they are. Today, these hardworking animals are telling us how nature's ways make our environment better! ⑤Beavers clean pollution and help fight floods. They teach us that protecting wild animals isn't only good for them—it helps people too. Their story reminds us to work with nature, not against it. 57．How do beavers build dams? A．By using stones and wood. B．By using sticks and mud. C．By digging holes in the ground. D．By planting trees near rivers. 58．What do we learn from Paragraph 4? A．The government killed beavers. B．Beavers disappeared but returned. C．Humans and beavers can live together peacefully. D．Beavers cause some trouble but help a lot. 59．What does the writer think of protecting beavers? A．It is a waste of time and money. B．It should be done only in certain areas. C．It is unnecessary because they cause floods. D．It is important because they help both nature and people. 60．How is the text organized? A．By comparing beavers to other animals. B．By telling a story from beginning to end. C．By presenting a problem and then a solution. D．By beginning with a simple introduction, then give details.

It has a...”完成填空，符合描述动物外形的表达习惯。 2. panda; lives in; likes; eat bamboo 【解析】“熊猫”是“panda”，单数作主语时，谓语动词“live”需变第三人称单数“lives”，“生活在”为“lives in”；“喜欢吃竹子”中“喜欢”用“likes”（主语为单数），“like to do sth”为固定句式，故“吃竹子”为“eat bamboo”，对应描述动物习性的句式。 3. take care of; rabbit; every day; best friend 【解析】“照顾”对应主题短语“take care of”，主语为“I”，谓语动词用原形；“兔子”是“rabbit”；“每天”为“every day”，作时间状语；“最好的朋友”是“best friend”，符合描述人与动物关系的句式“I... my... every day. It is my...”。 4. bird; can sing; feathers; colourful 【解析】“鸟”是“bird”；“会唱歌”用“can sing”，“can”后接动词原形；“羽毛”常用复数形式“feathers”（对应“are”）；“彩色的”是“colourful”，符合“ This... can... Its... are...”的句式结构，用于描述动物的能力和外形。 5. should protect animals; good friends 【解析】“应该”是情态动词“should”，后接动词原形“protect”（保护）；“动物”需用复数“animals”表示泛指；“好朋友”对应“good friends”，复数形式与主语“they”呼应，该句符合观点表达类句式“We should... because...”，传递保护动物的理念。 三、优化策略 1. 略读策略——快速把握语篇核心主题 策略分析：略读是针对“Animal Friends ”主题阅读的基础策略，核心目的是在短时间内快速锁定语篇的核心内容，判断语篇类型（如宠物介绍、人与动物的故事、动物保护倡议等）。实施时，学生可重点阅读语篇的标题、首段、末段以及每段的首句和尾句，忽略细节信息（如动物的具体年龄、具体喂养时间等）。通过略读，能快速建立对语篇的整体认知，为后续深入阅读奠定基础。 应用示例：阅读标题为“My Lovely Pet Cat”的语篇时，快速浏览首段首句“I have a lovely pet cat named Mimi”和末段尾句“I love Mimi so much; it brings me a lot of happiness”，可迅速判断语篇核心是介绍作者的宠物猫以及作者与猫之间的亲密关系，无需逐句阅读猫的具体玩耍细节。 2. 寻读策略——精准定位关键信息 策略分析：寻读适用于需要从“Animal Friends ”主题语篇中提取特定信息的场景，如寻找动物的名称、外形特征、生活习性、与人的互动事件等。实施时，学生需先明确题干或阅读任务中的关键信息词（如动物名称、特征词“long tail”“white fur”、动作词“swim”“sing”等），然后带着这些关键词快速在语篇中扫描，定位到包含关键词的句子，进而获取所需信息。该策略能提高阅读效率，精准解决细节理解类问题。 应用示例：若阅读任务是“Find out what the pet rabbit likes to eat”，首先确定关键词“pet rabbit”“likes to eat”，然后在语篇中快速扫描这两个关键词，找到句子“My pet rabbit likes to eat carrots and lettuce”，即可精准获取“兔子喜欢吃胡萝卜和生菜”这一信息。 3. 词义猜测策略——破解陌生主题词汇 策略分析：在阅读“Animal Friends ”主题语篇时，学生难免会遇到陌生的动物相关词汇（如“hamster”“parrot”）或描述性词汇（如“fluffy”“chirp”）。此时可运用词义猜测策略，结合上下文语境、同义/反义关系、举例说明等线索推断词义。例如，若陌生词后有举例“such as dogs and cats”，可推断该词与“动物”相关；若陌生词前有形容词“soft”修饰，且描述的是动物的毛发，可推断该词与“柔软的”相关的特征词。 应用示例：阅读句子“My new pet is a hamster. It is small and fluffy, and it likes to run in a wheel”，结合“small and fluffy”（小且毛茸茸的）和“run in a wheel”（在轮子上跑）的语境线索，可猜测“hamster”是一种小型的、毛茸茸的宠物，即“仓鼠”。 4. 主旨归纳策略——梳理语篇核心观点 策略分析：主旨归纳策略用于总结“Animal Friends ”主题语篇的中心思想或作者的核心观点，培养学生的逻辑思维能力。实施时，学生需在阅读完整篇语篇后，整合略读和寻读获取的信息，剔除无关细节，提炼出语篇的核心。对于介绍类语篇，主旨通常是“介绍某类/某只动物的基本情况”；对于故事类语篇，主旨可能是“讲述人与动物之间的感人故事，体现动物的忠诚”；对于倡议类语篇，主旨则是“呼吁人们保护动物，善待动物朋友”。 应用示例：阅读语篇《Save the Pandas》，通过略读可知语篇介绍了熊猫的生存现状（数量稀少、栖息地破坏），并列举了保护熊猫的措施，结合末段“We must work together to save pandas”，可归纳出语篇主旨：介绍熊猫的生存困境，呼吁人们共同保护熊猫。 5. 语境推理策略——理解深层含义 策略分析：在“Animal Friends ”主题阅读中，部分语篇的深层含义（如作者对动物的情感、语篇传递的价值观）并非直接表述，需要运用语境推理策略。实施时，学生需结合语篇的上下文语境、作者的用词（如褒义词“lovely”“loyal”“brave”）、描述的场景等，推断出作者的隐含意图。该策略能帮助学生深入理解语篇内涵，提升思维品质。 应用示例：阅读句子“When I was ill, my dog stayed by my bed all day and never left. It licked my hand as if to say 'Don't worry'”，结合“stayed by my bed all day”“never left”“licked my hand”等细节描述，可推断出作者想表达“狗对自己的忠诚和陪伴，以及自己对狗的感激之情”，深层传递了“动物是人类真挚朋友”的价值观。 ◇Part 03 阅读强化训练 提｜升｜练｜习 1 Henry’s class are studying birds for Bird Week at school.

It lived happily and safely until humans arrived in 1505. European sailors discovered the bird in 1507 on Mauritius Island in the Indian Ocean. When the sailors found the strange bird could not fly, they were surprised. The Europeans on Mauritius Island and the pigs they brought with them found the birds very good to eat. So large numbers of dodos were killed and by 1681 no living dodos were found on the island. A few dodos were brought to England in the 17th century. Humans didn’t know how to protect the birds. They caused the dodos’ extinction. This is how the phrase “as dead as a dodo” came. Because they died out completely, dodos became very well-known. It gave humans a big lesson. 5．Why did the Europeans kill so many dodos? A．Because they had no pigs to eat. B．Because they didn’t like the birds. C．Because they found the birds scary.

They do a lot for us, our environment (环境) and animals. ②Trees help to keep the air clean and make us healthy. They take in dirty air and give clean air to us. Go for a walk in the park in the morning, and you can feel how nice it is to be with many trees and clean air. ③Trees also give us many kinds of beautiful flowers and delicious fruits such as apples and oranges. Trees give homes to different insects, birds and other animals. Even the sap (汁液) of trees is useful as food for insects. ④________ We can use them in many ways. But we are hurting (伤害) them and they can’t grow back quickly. We cut down trees to make paper, desks and chairs.

But they aren’t here just to sunbathe. They take part in a volunteer activity. Their job is to protect sea turtles. The Coopers are working for a group called Pretoma. “We’re volunteers—we don’t get any money for doing this,” says Jane. “But it’s good to help these animals.” Sea turtles come out of the water at night, make a hole in the sand and lay their eggs. Then they bury them and return to the ocean. But some people take these eggs and sell them. The volunteers are trying to keep the sea turtles and their eggs safe. “We walk along the beach every night and search for turtles laying eggs,” says Ann. “We wait for the mother to go back to the water. Then we dig up the eggs, take them to the hatchery and bury them. The eggs are safe there. In about two months, volunteers will take the baby turtles back to the water.” Although the process is hard, it’s not all work for the Coopers.

He believed every life was important. Weeks passed. One morning, Leo saw Sky hopping around the box, flapping its healthy wing. The other wing had healed! Leo knew what he had to do. He carried the box to the garden where he had found Sky. With a deep breath, he opened the box. Sky hesitated (犹豫) for a moment, then flew up to a low branch.

There was something about hiking (远足) that made them feel wide awake and excited to start the day as their eyes were open. The family had a simple breakfast. They discussed the plan for the day at table. “Dad and I looked at a map last night,” said Mrs. Smith. “We found a nearby trail (小径). There are many interesting things along the way, and best of all, there will be a surprise at the end of the trail.” “What kind of surprise?” asked Jenny. “It won’t be a surprise if we tell you,” laughed her mom. “The sooner you get ready to go, the sooner you’ll find out.” They set out for hiking soon. It was a good day for seeing wildlife. Along the trail, the trees were filled with kinds of birds flying around. Hearing a noise in the grass, they stopped and saw two rabbits crossing the trail. After a while, Mike noticed several monkeys in the trees and Mr. Smith took photos before they ran away. Then, they continued their hiking. Jenny and Mike were discussing what kind of snake they had just seen on the way. At this moment, they came to an open area with some small pools. The kids’ eyes grew wide.

First she runs the cleaner in the living room. Hero hides in the kitchen. We always laugh at Hero. “Why are you afraid?” We ask, “The vacuum cleaner can’t hurt you.” But sometimes I am afraid of things, too. I am afraid to be alone in the dark. And I know the dark can’t hurt me. I guess it’s the same way with Hero. He is afraid without knowing why. A few weeks ago, Mum brought my new baby sister home. Her name is Barbie. She has a room of her own. Hero seems to know it is hers. Last Saturday, Mum was cleaning the house again. Barbie was sleeping in her room. Hero was in the living room. Mum began to run the cleaner in the living room. Hero jumped out from a chair. He ran towards my room. But then he stopped. He sat down at Barbie’s door. Mum went on running the cleaner. She ran it closer and closer to Hero. But Hero didn’t move! Then Mum ran the cleaner right up to his front feet. Hero shook all over. He was really afraid. But he didn’t let Mum get by. “You can’t take the cleaner into Barbie’s room,” he seemed to say, “I am taking care of Barbie.” Mum says that Hero has the right name. He is a real hero. He is brave. “Being brave is not the same as not being afraid,” Mum says. Being brave means that you do what you have to do. You do it even if you are afraid. Hero knew what he had to do.

The bird got help from people at a bird sanctuary. A sanctuary is a place where animals are kept safe. The workers at the Pelican (鹈鹕) Man’s Bird Sanctuary cared for the bird at their hospital. Then they returned the bird to its nest. The baby owl fell 40 feet. Luckily, it was not hurt badly. The workers at the hospital fed the bird. They kept it warm and safe. The baby owl looked like a soft white ball and its eyes were still closed. The workers asked a tree service to help them put the bird back in its nest. The tree service used a crane (起重机) with a long neck to put the baby owl back carefully. The workers thought the other baby probably pushed the baby bird out of its nest. The team went back after two days to check on the baby owl. Its parents were feeding and taking care of it. The baby owl was safe. The sanctuary was started by Dale Shields. Dale was called the “Pelican Man” because at first he only helped pelicans. Later he and his helpers started saving any animals in need. So far they have helped birds, deer, bats, foxes, turtles, and frogs. Wild animals get hurt in many ways. For example, water birds get hurt in fishing lines. Animals are also hit by cars or boats. Water and land pollution hurts animals, too. Many of the animals the sanctuary helps are in danger. The workers want to help make sure the animals don’t die out. People call the sanctuary when they see a hurt bird or other wildlife. Sanctuary workers go to pick up the animals. Then they take the animal to the hospital. Their work helps many animals survive. Half of the animals the sanctuary helped finally returned to the wild. Other animals, like Moe, need special care. Moe is a swan who was hurt by a dog. It lost one of its wings, so it can’t fly. Today, Moe and other animals like him live at the sanctuary. 51．From the passage we know that ________. A．now Dale Shields only helps pelicans B．the baby owl fell 40 feet and it was badly hurt C．the father owl pushed the baby bird out of the nest D．50% of the animals the sanctuary helped returned to the wild 52．The underlined word “survive” in Paragraph 7 means ________. A．live on B．keep safe C．live happily D．die out 53．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Dale loves helping animals. B．The baby owl was saved successfully. C．The sanctuary workers try hard to protect animals. D．Many animals at the sanctuary feel safe and warm. 14 Wild beavers are back. Experts say that the wild beaver families are doing well. The beavers are even boosting wildlife and the environment! Over ten years ago, a family of beavers turned up in a part of the River Otter, in Devon. No one knew where they came from. It was a big surprise—wild beavers hadn’t lived in England for around 400 years! In 2015, the government allowed the beavers to stay there as part of a trial (试验) . They wanted to see if these animals could be reintroduced to the wild. The trial ended in February, 2020. Scientists from the University of Exeter already concluded the beavers can help the wildlife in the area. One scientist called it “an amazing story”. A lot of this is because of dams (水坝) . Beavers build dams along the river. This creates deep pools in the riverbed and slows the water down. Scientists say this is perfect for many different types of plants and animals. Many plants are growing near the beavers. Different types of animals are also becoming more and more in the river. Beavers also help make flooding less, scientists say. The beavers’ dams slow down the speed of the river, especially after heavy rain. There are, however, some problems. Beavers gnaw (咬) on trees and this can harm them. Their dams can also sometimes create floods on people’s land. Beavers aren’t the only animals that are being reintroduced to the wild! In 2019, red squirrels were brought back to an area of the Scottish Highlands. Further away, the world’s rarest duck, the Madagascar pochard, is making a comeback. It was set free into the wild on the African island in 2019 and is doing well. Who knows what other animals might be making a comeback? 54．What does the underlined word “boosting” mean in Paragraph 1? A．Helping. B．Producing. C．Building. D．Making. 55．The government did a trial first because they wanted to ________. A．introduce many other kinds of plants and animals B．see if the beavers could be brought back to the wild C．set up more natural parks to help beavers live better D．build some dams to protect other animals in danger 56．How do you think animal lovers feel about the news? A．Sad. B．Worried. C．Pleased. D．Surprised. 15 ①Beavers (海狸) , known as “nature’s engineers”, play a surprising role in protecting the environment. Scientists found that beavers do good things for the world around us. According to a new study, beavers do helps stop flooding (洪水) and pollution and can increase populations of fish and other wildlife. ②Scientists from the University Exeter watched wild beavers living on the River Otter in Devon for five years. Beavers build dams (大坝) across rivers with sticks and mud (泥土). These dams create ponds. These ponds become homes for other animals. The ponds work like natural cleaners. When rain washes soil and chemicals from farms into rivers, the dams stop up to 70% of this dirty stuff (东西). The scientists found 37% more fish living in the ponds made by beavers than in other parts of the river. Cleaner water helps all living things stay healthy! ③During storms, the dams slow floodwater by 50%. This protects nearby villages and farms. The slowed water also spreads into new wetlands, creating homes for birds, frogs, and insects. Sometimes the dams cause small floods on farmland. But people can make small changes to the dams, like adding pipes. This way, both people and animals are happy. ④Beavers were hunted until they died out in England 500 years ago. Surprisingly, they appeared on the River Otter in 2008 again. At first, the government wanted to hunt them, but the green protectors showed how important they are. Today, these hardworking animals are telling us how nature's ways make our environment better! ⑤Beavers clean pollution and help fight floods. They teach us that protecting wild animals isn't only good for them—it helps people too. Their story reminds us to work with nature, not against it. 57．How do beavers build dams? A．By using stones and wood. B．By using sticks and mud. C．By digging holes in the ground. D．By planting trees near rivers. 58．What do we learn from Paragraph 4? A．The government killed beavers. B．Beavers disappeared but returned. C．Humans and beavers can live together peacefully. D．Beavers cause some trouble but help a lot. 59．What does the writer think of protecting beavers? A．It is a waste of time and money. B．It should be done only in certain areas. C．It is unnecessary because they cause floods. D．It is important because they help both nature and people. 60．How is the text organized? A．By comparing beavers to other animals. B．By telling a story from beginning to end. C．By presenting a problem and then a solution. D．By beginning with a simple introduction, then give details. 参考答案 1 1．C 2．C 3．D 4．C 【解析】本文是记叙文。主要讲述了Henry在学校“鸟类周”活动中，从最初对鸽子的反感，到通过观察、查资料等方式逐渐发现鸽子的有趣之处，最终改变看法的过程。 1．细节理解题。根据“Day 2: I’m watching pigeons at the park now.”和“Day 4: I’m back at the park again.”可知，Henry在Day 2和Day 4去了公园。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Day 3: …Pigeons can recognize themselves in mirrors.
