They think pets are their best friends. Do you know how to take care of your pet in summer? Here are some ideas for you. 1. Never leave a pet alone in your car. In summer, the air in your car is too hot and it can’t move quickly. If you let a pet stay in your car for long, it will lose its life because there’s little oxygen (氧气) in the car. 2. Don’t keep cool all the time. If a pet always stays in a cool room, it’ll get sick. You should make an exercise plan and walk it in the morning or evening. But remember not to take it out on a hot afternoon suddenly. 3. Go to a pet hospital quickly. When your pet is ill, you should take it to a pet hospital at once. You must look after it well till it feels better. It isn’t difficult to keep your pet healthy and happy. Treat (对待) it well and you can get a lot of fun from it. 1．Your pet will be sick if it always stays in a ________ room. A．black B．big C．cool D．small 2．What will you do at once when your pet is ill? A．Take it to a pet hospital. B．Look after it well. C．Treat it well. D．Walk it in the morning or evening. 3．If you want to have a healthy pet in summer, you should ________. A．leave it alone in a hot car B．feed it much food C．keep it in a cool room all the time D．walk it in the morning or evening 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 【导语】本文讲述了如何在夏天照顾宠物。 1．原文第二条建议中“If a pet always stays in a cool room, it’ll get sick.”，表明宠物一直待在凉爽的房间会生病。 2．原文第三条建议“When your pet is ill, you should take it to a pet hospital at once.”，表明宠物生病后要立刻送去宠物医院。 3．原文第二条建议“You should make an exercise plan and walk it in the morning or evening.”直接对应D选项。 Winter is a hard time for animals. The weather may be very cold. Food can be hard to find under the snow. How do animals live in this time? Let’s have a look. In fall (秋天) when the weather gets cool, some animals go away from cold places and move to warm places. Some birds fly to south together because the weather there is warm and food there is easy to find. When warm days come, they will be back. Some animals make changes to live in winter, like snowshoe rabbits in America. In summer, the rabbits’ fur (毛) is brown. But they grow new, white fur in winter. The new fur keeps them safe (安全的) in snow. In fall, they eat to get fat (脂肪), because the fat can also help them keep warm in winter. Other animals sleep all winter and they don’t eat at all. Before winter, these animals eat a lot to grow fat. When winter comes, they go to sleep. Black bears (熊) in cold places make beds to sleep in. Some of them can sleep for seven months. 1．Which animals will probably (可能) move to south in winter? A．Rabbits. B．Snakes. C．Birds. D．Bears. 2．The fur of snowshoe rabbits is ________ in winter. A．brown B．white C．yellow D．green 3．Before winter, some animals ________ to get fat. A．sleep a lot B．play a lot C．drink a lot D．eat a lot 4．What is the right structure (结构) of the text? (①= paragraph 1) A． B． C． D． 5．What can be the best title (标题) for the text? A．Where Animals Stay in Winter B．How Animals Live in Winter C．Why Animals Sleep in Winter D．What Animals Eat in Winter 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了动物在冬天如何生存。介绍了不同动物在冬天的生存方式，包括迁徙、改变身体特征以及冬眠等。 1．第二段指出“Some birds fly to the south together because the weather there is warm and food there is easy to find.”，这直接表明鸟类在冬天可能会迁徙到南方。 2．第三段提到“But they grow new, white fur in winter.”，说明雪鞋兔在冬天的毛是白色的。 3．最后一段提到“Before winter, these animals eat a lot to grow fat.”，说明一些动物在冬天来临前会大量进食来长胖。 4．文章第一段总述动物在冬天生存艰难，引出下文；第二、三、四段分别介绍了不同动物在冬天的生存方式，所以文章结构是①/②③④。 5．文章主要围绕动物在冬天如何生存展开，B选项“动物在冬天如何生存”最能概括文章主旨，适合做标题。 ①For a long time, Iceland was famous as one of the few countries in the world with no mosquitoes (蚊子). However, a recent discovery has changed this fact. ②The story began on a Thursday , evening in October. Björn Haltason, a man who loves studying insects, found a strange insect. He quickly caught it because he thought it might be a mosquito. Excited by his find, he continued to look and later discovered two more of the same insects nearby. He carefully collected all of them and sent his findings to the Icelandic Institute (研究所) of Natural History. ③At the study center, an entomologist (昆虫学家) named Matthias Alfreðsson studied the insects. He made sure they were mosquitoes, specifically a special type called Culiseta annulata that can survive in very cold winters. This finding was very meaningful. It was the first official record of mosquitoes living and growing outdoors in Iceland. He explained that this type of mosquito is special because it can survive in the cold Icelandic winter. These insects stay in warm places during the coldest months, which allows them to live through the winter. Before this, mosquitoes were only sometimes found on planes arriving in the country, but they never managed to survive outside. ④The main reason for this change, scientists say, is because of climate change. As our planet becomes warmer, insects can move to and live in new areas. Iceland is warming at a speed of four times faster than the average in the Northern Hemisphere (北半球). This rapid warming makes the environment more suitable for mosquitoes. ⑤This discovery ends Iceland’s long history of being a mosquito-free country. It clearly shows how climate change is influencing our world in real and clear ways, even changing which animals can live where. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1．What was Iceland famous for a long time? A．Having many special types of mosquitoes B．Being one of the countries with no mosquitoes C．Having the best insect research center D．Producing a lot of strange insects 2．Why can the special type of mosquito survive in Iceland? A．It is often carried to Iceland by planes and adapts (适应) quickly B．It gets enough food from local plants and animals C．It stays in warm places during the coldest months D．It is protected by local entomologists 3．In paragraph ④, what do the underlined words “this change” refer to ? A．Iceland is warming faster than before B．Mosquitoes are now found on planes C．The entomologist made sure the insects were mosquitoes D．Mosquitoes have started to live and grow outdoors in Iceland 4．Which is the right structure of this article? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了冰岛原本是少数没有蚊子的国家之一，但最近发现了能在冰岛户外生存的蚊子，并分析了这一现象背后的原因是气候变化。 1．第一段指出：“For a long time, Iceland was famous as one of the few countries in the world with no mosquitoes.”，这直接说明了冰岛长期以来是少数没有蚊子的国家之一而闻名。   2．第三段指出：“He explained that this type of mosquito is special because it can survive in the cold Icelandic winter. These insects stay in warm places during the coldest months, which allows them to live through the winter.”，这直接说明了这种特殊蚊子能在冰岛生存的原因是它们会在最冷的月份待在温暖的地方。 3．第四段提到的“this change”，指代的是前文第三段中“It was the first official record of mosquitoes living and growing outdoors in Iceland”所描述的事件，即蚊子开始在冰岛户外生存和繁衍这一变化。 4．通读全文，第一段①开门见山总述事件：冰岛发现蚊子改变了其长期无蚊子的历史，是总起段；第二段②介绍发现过程、第三段③介绍研究结论和蚊子存活的特点、第四段④分析变化产生的原因，这三段属于分述；第五段⑤总结该发现的意义，点出气候变化的影响，是总结段。整体结构为“总——分——总”：① (总)→②③④ (分) →⑤ (总)，对应选项C的结构。 Hello, everyone!

They can think, understand and learn things quickly. Scientists say dolphins are like humans in some ways. How? Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”. The name is a special sound. Each dolphin chooses a special sound for itself at birth (出生时). Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They “talk” to each other about a lot of things—such as their age and finding food. They also use sounds and body language to talk. Understanding dolphin words is not easy for humans. No one speaks dolphin words, but some scientists are trying to learn. Dolphins are also social (群居的) animals. They live in groups, and often join othersfrom different groups to play games and have fun—just like people. Scientists believe playing together is something only smart animals do. Both humans and dolphins make plans for getting things they want. For example, when there are fish near a boat, dolphins jump high to ask the fishermen to put their nets (网). The men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins help the men? Because they can get some fish that run away from the net. 1．Why do people say dolphins are smart? A．Because they are like cats and dogs. B．Because they can think, understand and learn things quickly. C．Because their brains work the same as humans’. D．Because every dolphin has its own “name”. 2．From this passage, in which ways are dolphins and humans like each other? ①They have names. ②They play in groups. ③They can talk to other kinds of animals. ④They can make plans to get things they want. A．①②④ B．①③④ C．①②③ D．②③④ 3．What does the underlined word “others” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Other fishes. B．Other dolphins. C．Other people. D．Other animals. 4．What is the best title of the passage? A．Smart Dolphins Can Talk. B．Dolphins Help Humans. C．Dolphins Are Like Humans. D．Dolphins Are Different From Humans. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了海豚在多个方面与人类的相似之处，说明海豚是一种高智商的群居动物。 1．第一段“Some people say dolphins (海豚) are smart like humans. They can think, understand and learn things quickly.”，开篇直接给出官方定义，人们认为海豚聪明，就是因为它们能快速思考、理解、学习事物，这是文章对“海豚聪明”的直接解释。 2．第二段“Like humans, every dolphin has its own ‘name’.”，海豚和人类一样都有自己的“名字”，①正确；第四段“They live in groups, and often join others from different groups to play games and have fun—just like people.”，海豚和人类一样会群体生活，一起玩耍，②正确；文中未提及海豚能和其他种类的动物交谈，③错误；第五段“Both humans and dolphins make plans for getting things they want.”，海豚和人类都会为得到自己想要的东西制定计划，④正确。因此含有①②④的为正确选项。 3．“Dolphins are also social (群居的)animals. They live in groups, and often join others from different groups to play games and have fun—just like people. ”可知，这里的“others”指的是其他海豚，它们会和不同群体的海豚一起玩游戏。 4．文章主要围绕海豚在很多方面和人类相似展开，如都有“名字”、会“交谈”、群居、能制定计划等，因此选项C“海豚和人类一样”最适合作为文章标题。 进阶拓展训练5篇 For some people, it can be very hard to do nothing. Many of us want to help wild animals when they seem (似乎) to be in danger. But we need to stop doing so. You should leave the animals alone (单独地). They are stronger than we think. Young wildlife (野生动物) is not usually alone. Their parents may be just around them. For example, baby birds often leave their homes before they can fly. They jump around under the tree for days. At the same time, their parents may get food somewhere else. Your “help” may hurt animals. A man in Georgia sees a manatee (海牛) out of the water. He thinks the manatee needs help. So he puts it back into the water. But the manatee may just enjoy the sun on a warm day. Your “help” may also hurt you. Even professionals (专业人士) get hurt sometimes. Manatees may look slow. But they are very strong. Sometimes wildlife does need our help. You’ll know it when it is in a man-made trap (人造陷阱). If so, call professionals. They know how to help wild animals. In a word, the best way is to leave wildlife alone. Just keep it really wild. It is good for both you and the animal. 1．How does the writer show his idea in Paragraph 2? A．By asking questions. B．By giving an example. C．By using numbers. D．By telling stories. 2．What do we know about manatees? A．They don’t like staying in the water. B．They always go out of the water to enjoy the sun. C．They move quickly in the water. D．They are strong and dangerous for people. 3．Which of the following may the writer agree with (同意)? A．Jason takes a baby bird under the tree home. B．Tom calls professionals when he sees a whale on the beach. C．Danny leaves a fox in a man-made trap alone. D．Anne gives food to pandas in the zoo. 4．What does “it” refer to? A．the baby bird B．the manatee C．the wildlife D．the food 5．What is the best title for the text? A．Birds under the tree B．Wonderful manatees C．The best for wildlife D．Wildlife professionals 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了对于野生动物，我们最好的方式是不去打扰它们，阐述了随意帮助野生动物可能带来的危害，同时说明当野生动物陷入人造陷阱时，应寻求专业人士的帮助，强调让野生动物保持野生状态对人和动物都有好处。 1．第二段指出作者表达观点的方式：“Young wildlife is not usually alone. Their parents may be just around them. For example, baby birds often leave their homes before they can fly.”，说明作者通过举例子的方式来表达观点。 2．第四段说明关于海牛的情况：“Manatees may look slow. But they are very strong.”，结合第三段海牛可能只是想晒太阳以及第四段专业人士也可能被海牛伤害，表明海牛很强壮，对人有危险性。 3．第五段指出正确帮助野生动物的方式：“Sometimes wildlife does need our help. You’ll know it when it is in a man-made trap. If so, call professionals.”，说明看到野生动物陷入人造陷阱时应联系专业人士，由此可推断汤姆看到海滩上的鲸鱼时联系专业人士，是作者会同意的做法。 4．第五段前文提到“Sometimes wildlife does need our help.”，后文“ You’ll know it when it is in a man-made trap.”，结合上下文可知，it指代前文提到的wildlife（野生动物）。 5．全文围绕如何对待野生动物展开，开头提出应让野生动物独处，中间阐述随意帮助的危害和正确的帮助方式，结尾总结让野生动物独处是最好的方式，因此最适合的标题是关于对野生动物最好的做法。 Three students are talking about their favourite animals: Amy My favourite animal is the chameleon (变色龙). I like chameleons because they can change colour. Many people think that chameleons change colour to match where they are. But that’s not true! Chameleons change colour when they feel afraid, angry, too cold, or too hot. So, their colour tells us how they feel. Chameleons also have a long, sticky tongue (黏的舌头). They use it to catch insects. Do you know their eyes can look in two different directions at once? I think they’re amazing animals! Steve I really love elephants. They are big and kind. I love their big ears and long trunks. Their trunks are very strong and useful. They use their trunk to pick up food and put it in their mouth. They also collect water in their trunk and spray it out (喷出) to drink or take a shower. Elephants live in big families and help each other. I enjoy watching videos of elephants, especially (尤其) baby elephants. Baby elephants stay close to their mothers. I laugh a lot when they trip over (绊倒) their own feet — they’re so cute! Isabella Dolphins are my favourite animals. I like them because they’re so smart and friendly. Dolphins live in the sea and love to play. They communicate with clicks and whistles (咔嗒声和哨声), almost like a secret language. Some dolphins live in zoos and have to do tricks (把戏) for people, like jumping through circles or playing with balls. That makes me really sad. I think it’s cruel (残忍的) to keep them in small pools. Dolphins should be free to swim, play, and explore the open sea. They’re happiest when they’re free. 1．According to Amy, why do chameleons change colour? A．To stay safe. B．To catch insects for food. C．To match the things around them. D．To show their feelings or their health. 2．How does Steve feel when he watches videos of baby elephants? A．He has a lot of fun. B．He is surprised by how quickly they learn. C．He is unhappy about their safety in the wild. D．He feels sorry because they often fall over. 3．What does Isabella think about dolphins living in zoos? A．They should live freely in the ocean. B．They are safer in zoos than in the wild. C．They do not learn enough skills in zoos. D．They enjoy playing with balls and jumping. 4．What is the main idea all three students share? A．Their favourite animals all live on land. B．They all think their favourite animal is the smartest. C．Their favourite animals are all mammals (哺乳动物). D．They all care and know a lot about their favourite animals. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，三位学生分别介绍了自己最喜欢的动物：变色龙、大象和海豚，并讲述了它们的特点和自己的看法。 1．第二段“Chameleons change colour when they feel afraid, angry, too cold, or too hot. So, their colour tells us how they feel.”说明变色是为了表达情绪或身体状况。 2．第三段“I laugh a lot when they trip over their own feet — they’re so cute!”表明他觉得很有趣、很开心。 3．最后一段“I think it’s cruel to keep them in small pools. Dolphins should be free to swim, play, and explore the open sea.”说明她认为海豚应该在海洋里自由生活。 4．三人都详细介绍了自己喜爱动物的特点、习性和想法，说明他们都很了解并关心自己喜欢的动物。 How do you know about the weather this week? Is it rainy, cloudy, windy, sunny…? Do you know it by listening to the radio, using the Internet or watching TV? We can know it by watching some animals too. They can know the change of the weather easily and do something to prepare for the bad weather. It is easy for bees to know the change of the weather in a short time because they can “talk” to others by dancing and a lot of bees can live very well with each other. But do you know why bees don’t go out on rainy days? Because they may get hurt in the rain. So now you may know this saying well, “If bees fly away, fine will be the day.” We can also know the coming of the rain by other animals. It’s really interesting, isn’t it? Learn more and know more from now on. 1．People can know the weather by ________ according to the passage. ① listening to the radio ② using the Internet ③ watching TV ④ watching animals ⑤ reading a newspaper A．①②③④ B．①②③④⑤ C．①②③ D．①②④ 2．What does the underlined word “They” refer to?

We can know it by watching some animals too.”，这直接说明文中提到的了解天气的方式有①听广播、②上网、③看电视、④观察动物。 2．第一段提到“We can know it by watching some animals too.”，后文接着说“They can know the change of the weather easily and do something to prepare for the bad weather.”，这直接说明此处的“They”指代前文提到的“animals”。 3．第二段指出“But do you know why bees don’t go out on rainy days? Because they may get hurt in the rain.”，这直接说明了蜜蜂雨天不外出的原因。 4．第二段提到“So now you may know this saying well, ‘If bees fly away, fine will be the day.’”，意思是蜜蜂外出则天气晴好，反过来蜜蜂待在巢中不外出，则预示雨天将至。 5．本文先介绍了了解天气的常见方式，重点阐述了可以通过观察动物（以蜜蜂为例）来预测天气，核心主旨是“我们可以通过观察动物来了解天气”。 Do you have a dog? What can your dog do for you? Do you know that dogs can read our feelings? Now some people find that dogs can smell (v.闻到；n.嗅觉) people’s stress (压力). Dogs have a special smell. A new study said that dogs can smell if people are feeling stressed. Teachers at Queen’s University, UK, made the study. They got breath (呼吸) and sweat (汗) from people both before and after doing a hard maths problem. They looked at the people’s heart rate(心率), blood pressure (血压) and stress feeling in the study. Dogs can smell the difference in breath and sweat from people. Then they can know when people are stressed. The finding is wonderful: the dogs found stress in 675 of the 720 people. It could be 93.75% right! Australian News reported. The study’s writer Clara Wilson said, “stress can change people’s breath and sweat. Dogs are very good at smelling these changes.” In the study, she also said, “this finding helps us learn how dogs may know people’s feelings.” This finding shows how special the bond is between people and dogs. The finding also tells us that dogs are very clever. And maybe dogs can help stressed people. 1．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By asking questions. C．By showing a picture. D．By giving examples. 2．What is the new study about? A．People’s stress. B．Dogs’ breath. C．Dogs’ sense of smell. D．Dogs’ friends. 3．What can dogs do according to the passage? A．They can find people’s stress. B．They can easily get stressed too. C．They can change people’s breath and sweat. D．They can’t know when people are stressed. 4．What does the underlined word “bond” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A．矛盾 B．好处 C．情感 D．纽带 5．What’s the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项关于狗的嗅觉的新研究，研究发现狗能够通过气味感知到人类的压力，并说明了这项研究的开展过程、结果及意义，展现了人与狗之间的特殊联系。 1．原文第一段第“Do you have a dog? What can your dog do for you? Do you know that dogs can read our feelings?”，作者以连续提问的方式引出话题。 2．原文第二段“A new study said that dogs can smell if people are feeling stressed.”，这项研究围绕狗的嗅觉展开，探究狗能否通过气味感知人类的压力。 3．原文第二段“Dogs can smell the difference in breath and sweat from people. Then they can know when people are stressed.”，狗能通过感知人类呼吸和汗水的变化，发现人们的压力。 4．原文第四段“This finding shows how special the bond is between people and dogs.”，结合上下文，这项研究展现了人和狗之间的特殊联系，“bond”在此处指人与狗之间的情感纽带。 5．文章采用“总-分”结构，第1段为总起，通过提问引出话题；第2段介绍研究的开展过程，第3段介绍研究结果，第4段说明研究的意义。 Do you have a pet at home? Your dog’s warm welcome or your cat’s lovely voice (声音) can make you happy. Keeping a pet really has some benefits. For little kids, they can get a lot by keeping a pet. They can learn how to take care of animals. They can get some knowledge (知识) about animals. They can have fun playing with their pets. They can easily make friends with other kids who love pets. Keeping a pet is also good for adults. For young people, staying with their pets can help them forget their problems. For old people, spending time with a pet can keep them from feeling lonely (孤单的). Some old people don’t want to go out, but keeping a pet gives them a reason to get out of the house. For example, if an old man keeps a dog, he needs to take it for a walk. All in all, pets can be the best friends for everyone. 1．What does the underlined word “benefits” mean in Chinese? A．好处 B．弊端 C．福利 D．原因 2．For little kids, they can ________ by keeping a pet. a. stop going out                                                      b. make friends easily c. know more about animals                               d. learn how to look after animals A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcd 3．Young people will ________ when they stay with their pets.

A．①②③/④ B．①/②③/④ C．①/②③④ D．①/②/③④ 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了养宠物对不同年龄段人群（如小孩、年轻人、老年人）的各种益处，旨在说明宠物是人类最好的朋友。 1．第一段指出：“Your dog’s warm welcome or your cat’s lovely voice (声音) can make you happy.”。引用部分描述了宠物带给人的正向情绪反馈，紧接着提出“Keeping a pet really has some benefits”，由上下文逻辑可推断出该词意为“好处”。 2．第二段第二至四句提到：“They can learn how to take care of animals. They can get some knowledge (知识)…They can easily make friends…”。引用部分明确涵盖了选项中的d（照看动物）、c（了解动物知识）和b（容易交朋友）。 3．第三段第二句明确指出：“For young people, staying with their pets can help them forget their problems.”。引用原句直接交代了年轻人与宠物相处时的益处是忘记烦恼。 4．文章第①段总领全文，引出养宠物有好处的话题；第②段论述对小孩的好处，第③段论述对成年人（青年及老人）的好处，这两段属于并列的分述部分；第④段最后总结全篇。这种“总—分—总”的逻辑结构对应图B。 能力综合实践5篇 China’s pet market is changing and growing fast! People don’t just love dogs and cats any more. More and more people are getting interested in exotic pets like reptiles (爬行动物), fish and some special birds. According to a report, more people are keeping reptiles and water pets. The number of people with reptiles went up by 2.9% and now 11.3% of pet owners have reptiles. The number of people with water pets grew by 0.6% to 13.4%. Some expensive parrots like macaws and sun parrots, are becoming popular too. It was very difficult for people to see these birds in China. Now, for rich pet lovers, having one is like showing off a cool toy. A young macaw can cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and a pair that can have babies can cost over 100,000 yuan! As the pet market gets more grown-up, it’s moving from just getting bigger to getting better. Pet owners want higher-quality products (产品) and better service (服务). This change is making the industry (产业) come up with new ideas. Young businessmen (商人) are bringing fresh ideas. For example, Mars Supermarket, started by people born in the 1990s, and Petlift, a big pet sending service with over 200 vehicles, are new ways of doing business in the pet world. Pet shows are also very important. In 2024, there were over 80 pet shows in China. The Pet Fair Beijing was among the biggest ones. It helped pet businesses show new products, share ideas and make friends. Even though there are problems, experts think the pet industry will do well. 1．Which of the following is an example of an exotic pet? A．A cute cat. B．A strong dog. C．A colorful macaw. D．A friendly rabbit. 2．The writer uses the examples of Mars Supermarket and Petlift to show that ________. A．the pet market is getting bigger in China B．we can buy special pets in supermarkets C．we can take good care of our pets in many ways D．young businessmen bring new ideas to the pet industry 3．Which methods does the writer use in Paragraph 2? ①Giving examples. ②Asking questions. ③Telling stories. ④Using numbers. A．①② B．③④ C．②③ D．①④ 4．What is the best title for this passage? A．The needs for pets among the young. B．The changes in Chinese pet industry. C．The popular pets among old people. D．The ways of making friends with pets. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国宠物市场正在快速变化。 1．细节理解题。根据“More and more people are getting interested in exotic pets like reptiles (爬行动物), fish and some special birds.”以及“Some expensive parrots like macaws and sun parrots, are becoming popular too. It was very difficult for people to see these birds in China”可知越来越多的人对爬行动物、鱼类和一些特殊鸟类等特殊宠物感兴趣，所以色彩鲜艳的金刚鹦鹉属于特殊宠物。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“This change is making the industry (产业) come up with new ideas.

Her world had always been quiet. Then one day in April 2021, a photo of a tiny black-and-white cat caught the 64-year-old lady’s eye as she read the local newspaper. A family was looking for a home for the kitten (小猫). Genevieve fell in love with him at once and phoned the family. Soon, the cat came to her and Genevieve called him Zebby. However, ________. When the phone was ringing or someone was knocking at the door, the cat would keep walking up and down in front of Genevieve until she got the message. At night, Zebby slept next to her. If there was an unusual noise outside, he would jump up and tap the owner on her head to let her know this. The cat soon took on another job: collecting Genevieve’s mail. Whenever he heard the mailbox being opened, he would run over, carry the mail in his mouth and drop it at the lady’s feet. Zebby would even bring Genevieve her slippers (拖鞋)! Later, Zebby was named Britain’s National Cat of the Year by Cats Protection. According to the largest cat charity, Zebby stood out from about 3,000 other cats because of his great service. The cat had no training at all, but his talents seemed to have told him that his owner needed his help. “Living on my own and being deaf mean life could be hard, but not with Zebby around.” Genevieve said. 1．Genevieve took Zebby home mainly because ________.

Zoos let us see amazing animals like lions, tigers, and even small lizards up close. It’s fun and educational, but is it really the best place for the animals? In the past, people could only see wild animals as stuffed displays (标本) in museums. Later, explorers caught live animals and showed them in menageries (小型动物园), which were early zoos. Back then, people didn’t care much about the animals’ well-being. Today’s zoos are different. They now provide bigger spaces and try to make the animals’ homes look like their natural environments. Some people think it’s cruel to keep animals in cages just for entertainment. However, zoos argue that they help educate people about wildlife conservation. In the UK, a law passed in 1981 requires zoos to teach visitors about conservation. Many zoos also help support and fund programs to protect wildlife. Zoos often say they are important for saving endangered species that could become extinct because of climate change. Robert Young, a professor of conservation, said many species would not live without zoos. For example, Chester Zoo in the UK helped save the golden skiffia fish from disappearing. As the debate about zoos continues, new technologies like virtual reality may offer different ways to experience wildlife. 1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The history of zoos and how they have changed over time. B．The types of animals found in modern zoos. C．The differences between stuffed animals and live animals. D．The laws that govern (管理) zoos today. 2．Why does the author mention the law passed in the UK in 1981? A．To show that all zoos are now educational. B．To highlight the educational function of zoos. C．To explain how zoos have become more entertaining. D．To discuss the financial support for zoos. 3．Which of the following statements is TRUE based on the passage? A．Zoos have always provided large spaces for animals. B．The main purpose of zoos has changed to entertainment. C．Zoos in the past focused on animal welfare and education. D．Modern zoos are required to educate visitors about wildlife conservation. 4．What is Robert Young’s attitude toward zoos? A．He believes zoos are harmful and should be shut down. B．He thinks zoos are important for protecting endangered species. C．He feels that zoos do not provide enough education for visitors. D．He thinks zoos are only focused on entertainment. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文介绍了动物园的历史、现状以及人们对动物园的不同看法, 包括动物园的教育作用、保护功能以及新科技的应用等。 1．主旨大意题。根据“In the past, people could only see wild animals as stuffed displays (标本)...try to make the animals’ homes look like their natural environments.”可知，第二段展示了动物园的转变。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“However, zoos argue that they help educate people about wildlife conservation. In the UK, a law passed in 1981 requires zoos to teach visitors about conservation.”可知，提及英国1981年通过的法律是为了强调动物园的教育功能。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“However, zoos argue that they help educate people about wildlife conservation...Many zoos also help support and fund programs to protect wildlife.”可知，现代动物园需要给游客传授关于野生动物保护的知识。故选D。 4．观点态度题。根据“Robert Young, a professor of conservation, said many species would not live without zoos.”可知， 他认为许多物种没有动物园将无法生存，说明他认为动物园对保护濒危物种是重要的。故选B。 22 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 23 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！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Unit5 Animal friends 单元话题（动物朋友）阅读理解进阶练15篇 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练5篇 Now most people like to keep pets in their houses. They think pets are their best friends. Do you know how to take care of your pet in summer? Here are some ideas for you. 1. Never leave a pet alone in your car. In summer, the air in your car is too hot and it can’t move quickly. If you let a pet stay in your car for long, it will lose its life because there’s little oxygen (氧气) in the car. 2. Don’t keep cool all the time. If a pet always stays in a cool room, it’ll get sick. You should make an exercise plan and walk it in the morning or evening. But remember not to take it out on a hot afternoon suddenly. 3. Go to a pet hospital quickly. When your pet is ill, you should take it to a pet hospital at once. You must look after it well till it feels better. It isn’t difficult to keep your pet healthy and happy. Treat (对待) it well and you can get a lot of fun from it. 1．Your pet will be sick if it always stays in a ________ room. A．black B．big C．cool D．small 2．What will you do at once when your pet is ill? A．Take it to a pet hospital. B．Look after it well. C．Treat it well. D．Walk it in the morning or evening. 3．If you want to have a healthy pet in summer, you should ________. A．leave it alone in a hot car B．feed it much food C．keep it in a cool room all the time D．walk it in the morning or evening Winter is a hard time for animals. The weather may be very cold. Food can be hard to find under the snow. How do animals live in this time? Let’s have a look. In fall (秋天) when the weather gets cool, some animals go away from cold places and move to warm places. Some birds fly to south together because the weather there is warm and food there is easy to find. When warm days come, they will be back. Some animals make changes to live in winter, like snowshoe rabbits in America. In summer, the rabbits’ fur (毛) is brown. But they grow new, white fur in winter. The new fur keeps them safe (安全的) in snow. In fall, they eat to get fat (脂肪), because the fat can also help them keep warm in winter. Other animals sleep all winter and they don’t eat at all. Before winter, these animals eat a lot to grow fat. When winter comes, they go to sleep. Black bears (熊) in cold places make beds to sleep in. Some of them can sleep for seven months. 1．Which animals will probably (可能) move to south in winter? A．Rabbits. B．Snakes. C．Birds. D．Bears. 2．The fur of snowshoe rabbits is ________ in winter. A．brown B．white C．yellow D．green 3．Before winter, some animals ________ to get fat. A．sleep a lot B．play a lot C．drink a lot D．eat a lot 4．What is the right structure (结构) of the text? (①= paragraph 1) A． B． C． D． 5．What can be the best title (标题) for the text? A．Where Animals Stay in Winter B．How Animals Live in Winter C．Why Animals Sleep in Winter D．What Animals Eat in Winter ①For a long time, Iceland was famous as one of the few countries in the world with no mosquitoes (蚊子). However, a recent discovery has changed this fact. ②The story began on a Thursday , evening in October. Björn Haltason, a man who loves studying insects, found a strange insect. He quickly caught it because he thought it might be a mosquito. Excited by his find, he continued to look and later discovered two more of the same insects nearby. He carefully collected all of them and sent his findings to the Icelandic Institute (研究所) of Natural History. ③At the study center, an entomologist (昆虫学家) named Matthias Alfreðsson studied the insects. He made sure they were mosquitoes, specifically a special type called Culiseta annulata that can survive in very cold winters. This finding was very meaningful. It was the first official record of mosquitoes living and growing outdoors in Iceland. He explained that this type of mosquito is special because it can survive in the cold Icelandic winter. These insects stay in warm places during the coldest months, which allows them to live through the winter. Before this, mosquitoes were only sometimes found on planes arriving in the country, but they never managed to survive outside. ④The main reason for this change, scientists say, is because of climate change. As our planet becomes warmer, insects can move to and live in new areas. Iceland is warming at a speed of four times faster than the average in the Northern Hemisphere (北半球). This rapid warming makes the environment more suitable for mosquitoes. ⑤This discovery ends Iceland’s long history of being a mosquito-free country. It clearly shows how climate change is influencing our world in real and clear ways, even changing which animals can live where. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1．What was Iceland famous for a long time? A．Having many special types of mosquitoes B．Being one of the countries with no mosquitoes C．Having the best insect research center D．Producing a lot of strange insects 2．Why can the special type of mosquito survive in Iceland?

Some people say dolphins (海豚) are smart like humans. They can think, understand and learn things quickly. Scientists say dolphins are like humans in some ways. How? Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”. The name is a special sound. Each dolphin chooses a special sound for itself at birth (出生时). Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They “talk” to each other about a lot of things—such as their age and finding food. They also use sounds and body language to talk. Understanding dolphin words is not easy for humans. No one speaks dolphin words, but some scientists are trying to learn. Dolphins are also social (群居的) animals. They live in groups, and often join othersfrom different groups to play games and have fun—just like people. Scientists believe playing together is something only smart animals do. Both humans and dolphins make plans for getting things they want. For example, when there are fish near a boat, dolphins jump high to ask the fishermen to put their nets (网). The men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins help the men? Because they can get some fish that run away from the net. 1．Why do people say dolphins are smart? A．Because they are like cats and dogs. B．Because they can think, understand and learn things quickly. C．Because their brains work the same as humans’.

Many of us want to help wild animals when they seem (似乎) to be in danger. But we need to stop doing so. You should leave the animals alone (单独地). They are stronger than we think. Young wildlife (野生动物) is not usually alone. Their parents may be just around them. For example, baby birds often leave their homes before they can fly. They jump around under the tree for days. At the same time, their parents may get food somewhere else. Your “help” may hurt animals. A man in Georgia sees a manatee (海牛) out of the water. He thinks the manatee needs help. So he puts it back into the water. But the manatee may just enjoy the sun on a warm day. Your “help” may also hurt you. Even professionals (专业人士) get hurt sometimes. Manatees may look slow. But they are very strong. Sometimes wildlife does need our help. You’ll know it when it is in a man-made trap (人造陷阱). If so, call professionals. They know how to help wild animals. In a word, the best way is to leave wildlife alone. Just keep it really wild. It is good for both you and the animal. 1．How does the writer show his idea in Paragraph 2? A．By asking questions. B．By giving an example. C．By using numbers. D．By telling stories. 2．What do we know about manatees? A．They don’t like staying in the water. B．They always go out of the water to enjoy the sun. C．They move quickly in the water. D．They are strong and dangerous for people. 3．Which of the following may the writer agree with (同意)? A．Jason takes a baby bird under the tree home. B．Tom calls professionals when he sees a whale on the beach. C．Danny leaves a fox in a man-made trap alone. D．Anne gives food to pandas in the zoo. 4．What does “it” refer to? A．the baby bird B．the manatee C．the wildlife D．the food 5．What is the best title for the text? A．Birds under the tree B．Wonderful manatees C．The best for wildlife D．Wildlife professionals Three students are talking about their favourite animals: Amy My favourite animal is the chameleon (变色龙). I like chameleons because they can change colour. Many people think that chameleons change colour to match where they are. But that’s not true! Chameleons change colour when they feel afraid, angry, too cold, or too hot. So, their colour tells us how they feel. Chameleons also have a long, sticky tongue (黏的舌头). They use it to catch insects. Do you know their eyes can look in two different directions at once? I think they’re amazing animals! Steve I really love elephants. They are big and kind. I love their big ears and long trunks. Their trunks are very strong and useful. They use their trunk to pick up food and put it in their mouth. They also collect water in their trunk and spray it out (喷出) to drink or take a shower. Elephants live in big families and help each other. I enjoy watching videos of elephants, especially (尤其) baby elephants. Baby elephants stay close to their mothers. I laugh a lot when they trip over (绊倒) their own feet — they’re so cute! Isabella Dolphins are my favourite animals. I like them because they’re so smart and friendly. Dolphins live in the sea and love to play. They communicate with clicks and whistles (咔嗒声和哨声), almost like a secret language. Some dolphins live in zoos and have to do tricks (把戏) for people, like jumping through circles or playing with balls. That makes me really sad. I think it’s cruel (残忍的) to keep them in small pools. Dolphins should be free to swim, play, and explore the open sea. They’re happiest when they’re free. 1．According to Amy, why do chameleons change colour? A．To stay safe. B．To catch insects for food. C．To match the things around them. D．To show their feelings or their health. 2．How does Steve feel when he watches videos of baby elephants? A．He has a lot of fun. B．He is surprised by how quickly they learn. C．He is unhappy about their safety in the wild. D．He feels sorry because they often fall over. 3．What does Isabella think about dolphins living in zoos?

Whenever he heard the mailbox being opened, he would run over, carry the mail in his mouth and drop it at the lady’s feet. Zebby would even bring Genevieve her slippers (拖鞋)! Later, Zebby was named Britain’s National Cat of the Year by Cats Protection. According to the largest cat charity, Zebby stood out from about 3,000 other cats because of his great service.

Zoos let us see amazing animals like lions, tigers, and even small lizards up close. It’s fun and educational, but is it really the best place for the animals? In the past, people could only see wild animals as stuffed displays (标本) in museums. Later, explorers caught live animals and showed them in menageries (小型动物园), which were early zoos. Back then, people didn’t care much about the animals’ well-being. Today’s zoos are different. They now provide bigger spaces and try to make the animals’ homes look like their natural environments. Some people think it’s cruel to keep animals in cages just for entertainment. However, zoos argue that they help educate people about wildlife conservation. In the UK, a law passed in 1981 requires zoos to teach visitors about conservation. Many zoos also help support and fund programs to protect wildlife. Zoos often say they are important for saving endangered species that could become extinct because of climate change. Robert Young, a professor of conservation, said many species would not live without zoos. For example, Chester Zoo in the UK helped save the golden skiffia fish from disappearing. As the debate about zoos continues, new technologies like virtual reality may offer different ways to experience wildlife. 1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
