Unit 5 Animal friends 话题：人与自然—人与动物 基础篇 01 In most schools, you can’t see animals, however, at Nanning No. 2 High School in Guangxi students can bring their pets to school and take care of them there. Each class can have one pet. To keep the school clean and tidy, some pets must stay in a special place. While keeping the pet, students should keep a diary (日记). It can help them look after the pet well. Also, they should take some lessons to learn how to take good care of the pet at school. Keeping pets at school doesn’t just make students happy. It can also teach them how to love and take on responsibilities (承担责任). ★Ask for permission (许可) to bring a pet to school. ★If the pet is a fish or a bird, you can keep it in the classroom. ★Clean up the pet’s living place on time. ★Make sure the pet is friendly to people when it is out of the classroom. ★If it’s a dog or a cat you must put it in a special place. 1．How many pets at most (最多) do the  school have  if there are thirty classes?

They are not big animals, only about the size of a rabbit. You can see them in highland and cold places, like the central and western United States. Although they are not dogs, they bark (叫) like dogs. They get the name as a result of (由于) their dog-like barks. Like humans, prairie dogs live with their family. When young babies are born, both dad and mum play a role in taking care of them. Those prairie dogs in the same group work, play and sleep together. Each group lives in its own burrow (洞穴). Prairie dogs use their sharp claws (爪子) to dig their burrows. They kick the dirt out with their back legs. Then they start to build some “rooms” in the burrows. The “rooms” have different uses (用途). Some can keep them warm in winter. They also have special “rooms” to store food. Some underground “rooms” protect them from animals that might want to hurt them. Prairie dogs “kiss” one another by touching their front teeth. For them, this is a way to tell whether another prairie dog is part of their group or not. They will attack (攻击) other prairie dogs that are not part of their group. 阅读并回答问题 (注： 1—4题答案不超过5个单词。) 6．Why do prairie dogs get their name? . 7．What do prairie dogs in the same group do together? . 8．How many uses do the “rooms” have for prairie dogs? . 9．How do prairie dogs “kiss” each other? . 10．What do you think of prairie dogs? . 03 Parrots are some of the most interesting and clever birds on Earth.They are famous for their ability to copy human speech and sounds.They live in warm places around the world, such as rainforests in South America, Africa, and Australia.These colorful birds have many bright colors—red, blue, green, and yellow—and they have strong curved beaks (弯曲的喙) to help them open food. Parrots are very special because they are good at talking.Parrots have a special voice box called a syrinx (鸣管).It lets them copy sounds they hear, such as human words! Some smart parrots, like African grey parrots, can learn hundreds of words and even understand simple sentences.But they don’t just repeat words—many parrots use them to talk with people, asking for food or saying “hello”. Parrots are social animals.They love to live in groups.They spend their days flying, looking for food and chatting with other parrots.They often eat fruits in the wild.They also build homes in tree holes to have their eggs.Many people keep parrots as pets because they are friendly and fun to play with.However, wild parrots are in danger.Some people destroy (摧毁) their living places, and some catch them illegally (非法地) to sell as pets.We need to protect their natural homes, so these talkative birds can keep singing and chatting in the wild. 根据语篇内容，按要求回答问题。 11．Where do parrots live? 12．Why can parrots copy human speech? 13．What do parrots often eat in the wild? 14．What dangers do wild parrots face? 15．Do you like parrots?

However, someone stole (偷) her in front of the house when she was two years old. Owner Tina said she saw the thief (小偷) in the security camera footage (监控录像) and she felt very upset. “I saw a car slowly stop.” “Sheba was such a loving animal. She went right to him and thought she was going to go for a ride.” A newspaper reported the story, but no one came forward with any information (信息). Until now! Five years passed, and Tina got a message, telling her that someone found her dog. It turned out that Sheba was microchipped (被植入微芯片). Thanks to it, an officer got in touch with Tina. “I was over the moon with joy!” Tina said. Sheba appeared in a small town called Borger. It was about 600 miles away from her home. She was running in town when Borger Animal Control Officer Jared Harper noticed her. The officer found a microchip from Sheba and looked up Tina’s information from it. And then he decided to send the dog back home. Tina wants to tell people to get their pets microchipped. It can help find them if they go missing. Without her microchip and the kind officer, Sheba might still be lost instead of returning to her warm home. 31．Where did Tina see the thief? 32．Was Sheba afraid when she saw the thief? 33．How old was Sheba when the officer found her? 34．How far away from home did Sheba appear? 35．Why does Tina want to tell people to get their pets microchipped? 08 Hi, I’m Malee and I live in Thailand! The elephant is my favourite animal. I love elephants because they are strong and clever. They are also a symbol of good luck here. The elephant is our national animal. On 13 March, we celebrate Thai Elephant Day. Elephants look very different from other animals. They are huge. They have large ears and long trunks. They can pick up and carry heavy things with their trunks. Elephants are like us in some ways. They are very playful and love to play in the water. They are great swimmers. They are also 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. They live in forests, but people cut down too many trees. People also kill elephants for their ivory. Let’s save the forests and not buy things made of ivory. Every elephant counts. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 36．Why does Malee love elephants? 37．What can elephants do with their trunks? 38．When is Thai Elephant Day? 39．Why are elephants in danger? 40．What should we do to save elephants? 09 阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题 (请注意每小题的词数要求)。 Dogs like living with people. They are very friendly. They can do many things for people. Some dogs can help people look after sheep. Some dogs can help people find the lost children, and others can help the blind who can’t see. There is a kind of dog. His name is Seeing Eye dog (导盲犬). Now we can see this kind of dog all over the world. They are working for the blind. The Seeing Eye dog is strong and easy to train (训练). He helps the blind to walk from place to place. Before a dog becomes (成为) a Seeing Eye dog, he must go to a training school for about three months. First the dog has to learn to sit or stay when he hears the trainer’s call. In his next lesson the dog learns to take his trainer across busy streets. The dog has many things to learn. At the end of the training school, he must take tests. When he passes the test, the Seeing Eye dog will do things by himself. Now he can help the blind people. The new master (主人) may be a man, a woman, or even a child. It takes the dog and his blind master about a month to learn to work and live together. 41．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph One refer to? (1个单词) 42．What can dogs help people do from the passage? (20个词以内) 43．Who are the Seeing Eye dogs working for? (3个词以内) 44．What must a dog do before he becomes a Seeing Eye dog? (12个词以内) 45．What’s the best title (题目) for the passage? (5个词以内) 10 Great Ants (蚂蚁) Ants are everywhere! We usually feel angry about them. However, these little ones also teach us something. Never give up Have you noticed (注意) that when something is in front of ants, they do not sit down or become sad? They just keep going. One day, I watched a small ant taking a bug back to its nest (巢穴). A leaf in the way was a big problem, but the ant was not giving up. It tried very hard to work out a way. Finally, the ant got that bug over the leaf and into the nest. Ask for help Think about it, have you ever seen an ant move something too big by itself? That never happens. When a load (负荷) is too big, the ant signals (发信号) to the others for help. Why don’t we do more of this? Sometimes, we are just too afraid to ask someone to share the load. Sharing can make our life much easier. Think about winter in summer Ants know there are seasons. They collect food and build the nest all through the summer even when they still have enough to eat. So when the cold days of winter come, the ants can stay in their warm nest and never worry about being hungry. They plan for their life! How great the ants are! 46．How do people usually feel about ants according to the writer? 47．What do ants do when something is in front of them? 48．What can ants teach us? 提升篇 01 阅读下面的短文，然后根据文章内容简要回答1～5小题。 A penguin wears a white shirt and a black jacket and has a smart yellow tie as well! Maybe because of this, there are many stories about penguins. However, many of these stories are not right. For example, the penguins in stories always live in the Arctic Circle (北极圈). In real life, there are no wild penguins in the northern half of the world. There are about twenty different kinds of penguins in the world. Penguins usually live not only on land, but on snow and ice as well. Many penguins spend most of their lives staying at sea. And most penguins like to live in open water with no ice. Do penguins sing songs? It is known that there are three kinds of penguin songs. They talk with each other by singing songs. But most of them don’t talk all the time because talking cuts down energy (能量). So we often see penguins in some small groups walk freely, or quietly on the beach in the sun. 1．What colour are penguins? (no more than 6 words) 2．How many kinds of penguins are there in the world? (no more than 5 words) 3．Where do most penguins like to live according to the passage? (no more than 6 words) 4．How do penguins talk with each other?

Their long necks helped them reach the highest branches easily. Then we watched a penguin show. The penguins looked so cute in their black-and-white “jackets”. They swam quickly in the water, just like excellent swimmers. But what made me sad was the “Save the Sharks” sign. A zookeeper told us many sharks were killed for their fins (鳍) every year. She said we should follow some rules to protect them, like not buying products made from sharks. I decided to tell my friends about this and do something to help. I believe if everyone takes action, we can make a difference. 26．When did the writer visit the zoo? 27．How did the giraffes get the leaves from tall trees? 28．Are sharks in danger according to the passage? 29．Why were the sharks killed? 30．What can you do to help protect the animals? Molly and her classmates visited the Migratory Bird Centre last Saturday. When they got there, Evans greeted them. Evans showed the students around the centre. Along the way, Molly saw some workers catching birds with nets. She was surprised. “Why do the workers do that to the cute birds? The birds seem poor,” she said. Evans answered, “Don’t worry! Workers catch them to put bands (带状物) on their legs. There is a number on each band. After that, they will let the birds fly away.” Molly then learned that the bands are useful when people want to know how many birds there are. Then Molly and her classmates continued (继续) their visit. They watched many birds in the trees and listened to their songs. Evans told them that many birds were in great danger. After hearing that, Molly wanted to help save birds. She thought about ways she could help, like planting trees and keeping the area clean. The birdwatching trip was very short — only one hour long, but all students learned a lot about birds and had fun during it. For Molly, it was just a start. She would spend more time studying and saving birds in the future. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 31．Who did Molly go to the bird centre with? 32．Why did the workers catch birds with nets? 33．What did Molly and her classmates do at the centre? 34．How long was the birdwatching trip? 35．In our daily life, what can we do to help save birds?

Elephants love to eat! Elephants spend nearly (将近) 12 to 16 hours a day eating. A large African elephant can eat about 600 kg a day. Indian elephants love eating apples, bananas, cabbage and sugarcane (甘蔗). They also drink 200 liters (升) of water a day during the summer. Females (雌性) are the boss. Elephant families have a female head (首领). Their boss is a large older lady elephant. Usually there is a mother, her sisters, daughters and their babies in a family. They go from a group of 8 to nearly 100 elephants. Elephants never forget. Elephants do have a good memory because they have the largest brain (大脑) of any land animal. They are good at remembering places where food and water can be found. They can even tell (辨别) the difference between the call of a friend and the call of an enemy (敌人). 36．When is World Elephant Day? 37．What do Indian elephants love eating? 38．What does an elephant family usually consist of (组成)? 39．What are elephants good at remembering? 40．Do you like elephants?

But the slowest animal in the world is not the turtle, as we may think. It is the three-toed sloth (三趾树懒). Sloths live slow and relaxing lives in the rainforests of South America. Sloths can be 60cm-80cm long and their weight is 2.25kg-6.5kg. It takes them about one minute to climb only 1.8m-2.4m. They sleep for more than 20 hours every day, staying in the trees most of the time. They come down from the trees to defecate (排便) just once a week. This is the most dangerous time for sloths, as their enemies (天敌), like big cats, might come at them. There’s no way they can run away in time. As sloths don’t move much, green algae (藻类) grow on their bodies. But this is just a good thing for them. The algae make them look like green leaves on a tree and help them hide (躲) from enemies. They usually live around 25 to 30 years in the wild. Sloths may be slow climbers, but they are fast swimmers. In rainforests, they need to swim to live. 41．Where do three-toed sloths live? 42．How long do three-toed sloths sleep every day? 43．What do the green algae on sloths help them do? 44．Are three-toed sloths good swimmers? 45．What is your favourite animal? Why are they special to you? 10 阅读以下语篇，根据语篇内容，回答问题。 Can dolphins (海豚) talk? Maybe they can’t talk with words, but they can talk with sounds. They show their feelings by sounds. Dolphins travel in groups. We call a group of fish a “school”. They don’t study, but they travel together. Dolphins are mammals (哺乳动物), not fish. But they swim together like fish in a school. Dolphins talk to each other in the school. They give information to the others. They talk when they are happy, sad or afraid. They say “welcome” when a dolphin comes back to the school. They make some sounds above water. They make more sounds under water. Usually, people can’t hear these sounds because they are very high. Scientists make tapes of the sounds so that they can study them. Sometimes people catch (捕捉) dolphins for a large aquarium (水族馆). People can watch dolphins in a show. Dolphins do not like to be in an aquarium away from their school. They are sad and lonely (孤单的；寂寞的). There are many stories about dolphins. They help people. Sometimes they save somebody’s life. Many people like dolphins. They believe that dolphins bring good luck. 46．What can dolphins talk with? 47．Are dolphins fish? 48．Where do dolphins make more sounds? 49．Why can’t people hear dolphins’ sounds? 50．How do dolphins feel in an aquarium?

You can see them in highland and cold places, like the central and western United States. Although they are not dogs, they bark (叫) like dogs. They get the name as a result of (由于) their dog-like barks. Like humans, prairie dogs live with their family. When young babies are born, both dad and mum play a role in taking care of them. Those prairie dogs in the same group work, play and sleep together. Each group lives in its own burrow (洞穴). Prairie dogs use their sharp claws (爪子) to dig their burrows. They kick the dirt out with their back legs. Then they start to build some “rooms” in the burrows. The “rooms” have different uses (用途). Some can keep them warm in winter.

We usually feel angry about them. However, these little ones also teach us something. Never give up Have you noticed (注意) that when something is in front of ants, they do not sit down or become sad? They just keep going. One day, I watched a small ant taking a bug back to its nest (巢穴). A leaf in the way was a big problem, but the ant was not giving up. It tried very hard to work out a way. Finally, the ant got that bug over the leaf and into the nest. Ask for help Think about it, have you ever seen an ant move something too big by itself? That never happens. When a load (负荷) is too big, the ant signals (发信号) to the others for help. Why don’t we do more of this? Sometimes, we are just too afraid to ask someone to share the load. Sharing can make our life much easier. Think about winter in summer Ants know there are seasons. They collect food and build the nest all through the summer even when they still have enough to eat. So when the cold days of winter come, the ants can stay in their warm nest and never worry about being hungry. They plan for their life!

When young babies are born, both dad and mum play a role in taking care of them. Those in the same group work, play and sleep together, like building their burrows (洞穴) and lying in the sun. Each group lives in its own burrow. Prairie dogs use their sharp claws (爪子) to dig their burrows. They kick the dirt out with their back legs. Then they start to build some “rooms” in the burrows. The “rooms” have different uses (用途). Some can keep them warm in winter. They also have special “rooms” to store food. Some underground “rooms” protect them from animals that might want to hurt them. Prairie dogs “kiss” one another by touching their front teeth. For them, this is a way to tell if another prairie dog is part of their group or not. They will attack other prairie dogs that are not part of their group. 16．Why do prairie dogs get their name? 17．What do prairie dogs in the same group do together? 18．How many uses do the “rooms” have for prairie dogs? 19．How do prairie dogs “kiss” each other? 20．What do you think of prairie dogs? Why? 【答案】16．Because of their dog-like barks. 17．They work, play and sleep. 18．Three. 19．By touching their front teeth. 20．They are smart because they cooperate. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了草原犬鼠的基本信息、名字由来、生活习性等相关内容。 16．文章第一段明确提到：“They get the name from their dog-like barking sound.”，直接说明名字源于它们类似狗的吠叫。 17．文章第二段明确提到：“Those in the same group work, play and sleep together”，直接得出答案。 18．文章第三段明确提到：“Some can keep them warm in winter.

Some animals can run faster than sports cars, while others move very slowly. But the slowest animal in the world is not the turtle, as we may think. It is the three-toed sloth (三趾树懒). Sloths live slow and relaxing lives in the rainforests of South America. Sloths can be 60cm-80cm long and their weight is 2.25kg-6.5kg. It takes them about one minute to climb only 1.8m-2.4m. They sleep for more than 20 hours every day, staying in the trees most of the time. They come down from the trees to defecate (排便) just once a week. This is the most dangerous time for sloths, as their enemies (天敌), like big cats, might come at them. There’s no way they can run away in time. As sloths don’t move much, green algae (藻类) grow on their bodies. But this is just a good thing for them. The algae make them look like green leaves on a tree and help them hide (躲) from enemies. They usually live around 25 to 30 years in the wild. Sloths may be slow climbers, but they are fast swimmers. In rainforests, they need to swim to live. 41．Where do three-toed sloths live? 42．How long do three-toed sloths sleep every day? 43．What do the green algae on sloths help them do? 44．Are three-toed sloths good swimmers? 45．What is your favourite animal?
