You can see them almost everywhere on earth. There are more than 8,000 kinds of ants. Most ants live in big groups. Each group has one very large queen. Her job is to lay eggs (产卵). And every ant in the group has a special job to do. One interesting kind of ant is the driver ant. Driver ants mostly live in Africa. In their group, there are soldier ants (兵蚁). They have big jaws (颌) to protect the queen and other ants. But soldier ants can’t feed themselves because their jaws are too big. Smaller worker ants get food and feed the queen and soldiers. Driver ants eat meat. They catch and eat animals that can’t run away. Sometimes they even eat big animals like cows, but mostly they eat insects. A driver ant group can catch over 100,000 insects in one day! Driver ants are always moving. They don’t make a home in one place. If the queen is laying eggs, the group stops for a short time. When the baby ants can move, the group travels again. Nothing can stop ants. They work well as a team. If there’s a river, they shape themselves into a ball to swim in the water. They are great at working together! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving a fact. B．By showing an example. C．By asking a question. D．By telling a story. 2．Which of the following best explains the word “protect” in Paragraph 2? protect v. /prə'tekt/ ①to find something lost ②to make something dirty ③to let others use something ④to keep someone or something safe A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 3．What do driver ants mostly eat? A．Cows. B．Insects. C．Leaves. D．Fruit. 4．Why do driver ants stop moving for a short time according to the passage? A．Because they can’t find food. B．Because the queen is laying eggs. C．Because they need to build a home. D．Because they are too tired to move. How do you greet your friends? People from different cultures have different answers: shaking hands, nodding, bowing (鞠躬), and kissing on the face. But do you know how animals “say hello” to each other? Here are some examples. Everyone knows how similar chimpanzees (黑猩猩) are to humans. So the most usual ways of greeting between chimpanzees are handshaking and hugging (拥抱). Sometimes they also kiss each other. Some chimpanzees can even learn easy sign language. Giraffes hardly ever make loud sounds. Their necks can grow to two metres. When two giraffes meet, they may “shake” their necks and rub (摩擦) them against each other. This is to feel how strong and tall the other is. Dolphins greet one another with whistles (哨声). They can hear other dolphins from many kilometres away. Every dolphin has a different whistle. When two groups of dolphins meet, they each choose a member to “talk” to the other group. Then they can travel together. Unlike most of the other animals, dolphins are ▲ enough to learn a new language by making and copying new sounds. 1．How do chimpanzees usually greet each other? A．By nodding and bowing. B．By kissing on the face. C．By handshaking and hugging. D．By using easy sign language. 2．Why do giraffes rub their necks when they meet? A．To reach taller trees. B．To make loud sounds. C．To know about each other. D．To talk with each other. 3．Which word can we put in “ ▲ ”? A．smart B．friendly C．funny D．shy 4．What can we know from the passage? A．Giraffes are about two metres tall. B．Dolphins can hear each other from far away. C．Most animals have the ability to learn a new language. D．Shaking hands is giraffes’ main way to greet each other. Do you know about bees? Mikaila Ulmer, a 19-year-old girl from Texas, USA, knows them well. When Mikaila was just 4 years old, she was stung (蜇) by two bees in one week. She was sad and scared, so her mother told her something about bees. “Bees are very important to people, but they are in great danger and there are not too many bees,” she said. The news surprised Mikaila, and she started to think about bees differently. Later, she got a gift—a book about how to make lemonade (柠檬汁). She couldn’t wait to try it out. She thought of putting natural honey (蜂蜜) in the drink to make it taste good. To her surprise, it really did. Then Mikaila started to sell the lemonade outside her house and many people loved it. With help from her mother, she started her lemonade brand Me & The Bees Lemonade when she was just 11 years old. Now, the brand has hit big in the USA．More and more people know about it. Mikaila also tries to tell people about the importance of bees. Her book about bees is helping many beekeepers around the world. What’s more, she often gives away money to save bees.

For example, he must get home before 10:00 p.m. He is unhappy with them at first and often argues (争论) with me. He says he has less freedom than Meatball. Meatball is our cat. He was once a homeless cat. He comes to our house by accident. Jordan loves him, so we keep him. Jordan names him Meatball because the cat likes eating meatballs. Meatball is used to living outside. After a few hours in the house, he sits by the door and meows (喵喵叫), wanting someone to let him go out. One night in January, the temperature is very low. Meatball stands at the door, meowing to go out. It is too cold outside, so I don’t let him out. But the next morning, I can’t find him. I ask Jordan if he has seen him. Jordan says, “He was meowing by the door last night, so I let him out.” I am angry, but I have no time to argue with Jordan. I rush out and finally find Meatball under my car. He is weak. I drive him to the vet’s with Jordan. Luckily, the vet says Meatball just has some frostbite (冻伤) and will get better soon. On our way home, Jordan says sorry to Meatball again and again.

They seem to be able to think, understand and learn things quickly. Scientists say dolphins and humans are similar in some ways. But how? ②Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”. The name is a special whistle (口哨). Each dolphin chooses a special whistle for itself, usually before its first birthday. ③Dolphins can “talk” to each other about a lot of things, such as their ages, their feelings and the ways to find food. They also use sound and body language to talk. ④Dolphins are also group animals. They travel together in groups called pods (一小群), and they often join others from different pods to play games and have fun—just like people. ⑤Both dolphins and humans make plans to get things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent way to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins make a sound to the fishermen. Then the fishermen put their nets into the water. In this way, the fishermen can catch a lot of fish. And dolphins can get some of the fish that run away from the nets. 1．Dolphins are similar to humans because ________. a. both humans and dolphins have names b. both humans and dolphins talk with others c. both humans and dolphins celebrate their birthdays d. both humans and dolphins are group animals A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcd 2．What does the underlined word “intelligent” mean in the last paragraph?

However, there are not many of them living in the world today. World Elephant Day falls on August 12 every year. It calls on people to be kind to elephants. In China, the Asian elephant is the first-class protected (一级保护) wild animal. The animal mainly lives in Yunnan. Because of China’s hard work, the number of elephants in China gets to about 300 by the end of 2021. And the number becomes bigger and bigger. ________ Let’s keep reading to find out. Elephant Canteen (食堂) Asian elephants eat 400 kinds of food. Sometimes they visit the farms and eat vegetables and fruit. People can get money from the government (政府), but it’s still a big problem. These years, China builds many elephant canteens in different places. There people grow foods, and elephants love to eat. China is now building a national park for elephants as well. Elephant Doctor Elephants sometimes get hurt. So China asks elephant doctors to help. Bao Mingwei is one of them. Bao Mingwei is 44 this year, and he does this job for 24 years. He helps with the birth (出生) of nine elephant babies and saves 10 elephants. Bao knows how to be good with them. In March 2021, a group of Asian elephants in China make news around the world.

I am not kidding. I really do have my own zoo. My backyard zoo is full of small animals. There are crickets (蟋蟀) and ants. Sometimes I see butterflies and foxes. At night, there are fireflies flying here and there. I have counted over thirty animals in my zoo. Sometimes I watch the foxes playing for fun. They are all fun to watch. Other times I watch ants carrying pieces of food. Some pieces of food are bigger than they are! In spring, I watch the swallows. They build nests in the trees. Mother swallows lay eggs in the nest. Soon the eggs hatch and the tiny baby swallows look at a new world over the nest with interest. A few weeks later, the baby swallows learn to fly. The swallows fly away when the weather gets cold. But that is okay. I know they will be back. The city zoo is fun to visit. It has more animals than my backyard zoo. But the animals in my zoo are lucky. They do not live in cages. And they live free in my zoo! 1．When does the writer see fireflies flying here and there? A．At night. B．In the afternoon. C．At noon.

B．My Backyard Zoo C．Swallows D．Birds’ Nests ①To-wit-to-woo, to-wit-to-woo! What’s that sound coming from the forest in the moonlight? It’s an owl, of course! ②All day long, seated in a tree, the owl is sleeping or at least he’s trying to have a short light sleep, because it’s sometimes hard to close the eyes with all the sounds made by the little birds and animals in the forest! The owl hunts (捕猎) only at night. When evening comes, the animals all get to a safe place. The owl opens its big, round eyes. Any little animal around had better watch out! The owl mostly eats small animals like mice, but it wouldn’t say no to another bird! ③The owl uses its excellent hearing to find its food, and then it turns its head from side to side, using its eyes to follow the animal. At last, it flies down to get the animal. Owls have special, soft feathers, so they can fly without making any sound. Owls are such good hunters that they can even catch a fly in the air! ④The owl is quiet most of the time, except when you get too close to its home. The owl is a great mother. It will protect its babies by opening its feathers angrily. An owl will even hurt people if it thinks its babies are in danger! ⑤An owl has no teeth, so it eats an animal whole. All the parts of the animal that the owl can’t digest (消化) will end up as small pieces. If you find these small pieces, you know you are near an owl’s home. 1．Why can’t an owl sleep well in the day? A．Because it has to be busy hunting. B．Because it uses eyes to follow animals. C．Because small animals run here and there.

Scientists have recently discovered that bottle-nosed dolphins (瓶鼻海豚) can identify themselves in the mirror—much like you and I can! When you see a zit (青春痘) on your face, what do you do? Go to the mirror time and again, and wonder what it is still doing there. Well, this is exactly what two male bottle-nosed dolphins, Presley and Tab, do as well. So, these lovable aquatic animals (水栖动物) are not just sailors’ friends, but they are also aware of their bodies—almost like humans! A Reuters news agency report in The Telegraph newspaper says that Presley and Tab stay in a pool with reflective glass walls in the New York Aquarium. Researchers in the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Osborn Laboratories of Marine Science noticed that when Presley and Tab saw their own reflections, they did not seem to think that they were looking at another dolphin. Dolphins are very social creatures, and are friendly with humans as well as their own kind. This got the researchers thinking. Perhaps the dolphins identified their own images? So they decided to find out. Using non-toxic (无毒的) ink, they made marks on different parts of the dolphins’ bodies, changing the place every week. Every time their bodies were marked, the dolphins made more trips to the mirror than usual. If the ink mark was on their tummy (肚子), they would expose their tummy to the mirror and look at it for a long time. Now doesn’t that sound familiar? Imagine the dolphins wondering—“Now where did that mark come from? I wonder how long it’s going to stay?” Till now, only the great apes (猿) like the chimps, the gorillas and the orangutans have displayed this quality of identifying their images in the mirror. All other animals have failed this test. The researchers feel that these findings may increase human understanding towards dolphins, which are being hunted and killed in great numbers. Dolphin fins are considered to be a very delicious dish in several Southeast Asian countries. 1．What have scientists discovered about bottle-nosed dolphins? A．They tend to have human awareness. B．They can recognize their bodies in the mirror. C．They love to see the reflections of their bodies. D．They are much more intelligent than humans. 2．How did the researchers carry out their experiment? A．By communicating more with the dolphins. B．By making the dolphins make more trips to the mirror. C．By drawing special symbols on the dolphins’ bodies. D．By exposing the dolphins’ tummies to the mirror. 3．Which statement can be inferred from the text? A．Dolphins are not being protected well. B．Male dolphins care much more about their images. C．Dolphins get along well with all creatures. D．Dolphins are smarter than the great apes like the chimps. 4．What’s the best title of the text? A．Dolphins: An Endangered Species in Need of Attention B．Dolphins: Social Beings with Unique Communication Skills C．Dolphins: Aquatic Animals Fond of Their Own Self-reflection D．Dolphins: Smart Creatures Capable of Self-recognition in Mirrors “Save the whales!” That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed what he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood. It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whale’s coming. Many animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s home town. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they’d have to do anything about. Then one whale swam directly towards the land. It came in with the waves. When the waves receded, it stayed. Its huge body was on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the huge whale. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use. The whale was so heavy that they couldn’t move it. An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the whale. Jake and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could do something. Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shone the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times, they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to the sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water — a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its life. 1．What does the beginning of the story tell us about Jake? A．He didn’t like his neighbourhood. B．He worked in an animal rescue team. C．He thought whales were the most beautiful animals. D．He was concerned about animals. 2．What does the underlined word “receded” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Didn’t sleep. B．Went forward. C．Moved away. D．Rose up. 3．How did Jake and his family help save the whale? A．By asking local people for help. B．By giving the rescuers food and drink. C．By calling the rescue service. D．By moving the whale on the truck. 4．Which shows the correct order of the following events according to the passage? a. People had to become rescuers. b. The whale disappeared under the sea. c. People turned on the lights of their cars. d. Rescuers lifted the whale into the water. e. People failed to push the whale towards the sea. f. People in Jack’s home town went to see the whale.

You can see them almost everywhere on earth. There are more than 8,000 kinds of ants.”是在陈述关于蚂蚁的一些事实，如蚂蚁是小昆虫、几乎在地球各处都能看到以及有超过8000种蚂蚁等，所以作者是通过给出事实来开启这篇文章的。 2．第二段“In their group, there are soldier ants (兵蚁). They have big jaws (颌) to protect the queen and other ants.”可知兵蚁用大颌来保护蚁后和其他蚂蚁，结合选项，①找到丢失的东西；②使某物变脏；③让其他人使用某物；④保护某人或某物的安全，所以“protect”在这里的意思是“to keep someone or something safe”，答案选④。 3．第三段“Sometimes they even eat big animals like cows, but mostly they eat insects”，明确可以得知，行军蚁主要吃昆虫。 4．第四段“If the queen is laying eggs, the group stops for a short time”，说明当蚁后在产卵时，行军蚁群会短暂停止移动。 How do you greet your friends?

D．Shaking hands is giraffes’ main way to greet each other. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了不同动物之间打招呼的方式，包括黑猩猩、长颈鹿和海豚等，并介绍了它们各自打招呼方式的特点及原因。 1．第二段指出：“So the most usual ways of greeting between chimpanzees are handshaking and hugging (拥抱).”，这直接说明黑猩猩之间通常通过握手和拥抱来打招呼。 2．第三段提到：“When two giraffes meet, they may ‘shake’ their necks and rub (摩擦) them against each other. This is to feel how strong and tall the other is.”，这说明长颈鹿见面时摩擦脖子是为了了解彼此的强壮和高大程度，即了解对方。 3．第四段提到：“Unlike most of the other animals, dolphins are...enough to learn a new language by making and copying new sounds.”，根据语境，海豚能够通过制造和模仿新声音来学习新语言，说明它们很聪明，所以“smart”符合语境。 4．第四段提到：“They can hear other dolphins from many kilometres away.”，这说明海豚能从很远的地方听到彼此的声音。 Do you know about bees?

The news surprised Mikaila, and she started to think about bees differently.”表明，母亲告知Mikaila蜜蜂对人类很重要且处于危险中，这一消息使她对蜜蜂的看法发生了改变。 2．文章第三段“She thought of putting natural honey (蜂蜜) in the drink to make it taste good. To her surprise, it really did.”说明，Mikaila在柠檬汁中加入天然蜂蜜使其味道变好。 3．文章第四段“With help from her mother, she started her lemonade brand Me & The Bees Lemonade when she was just 11 years old.”显示，Mikaila 11岁时创立了自己的柠檬汁品牌。 4．文章第五段“More and more people know about it.”表明越来越多的人知道了这个品牌，由此可推断“has hit big”意思是“受欢迎的”。 5．文章第五段“Mikaila also tries to tell people about the importance of bees. Her book about bees is helping many beekeepers around the world. What’s more, she often gives away money to save bees.”说明，Mikaila努力宣传蜜蜂的重要性，她的书帮助了许多养蜂人，还捐款拯救蜜蜂，由此可推断她的工作让更多人关心保护蜜蜂。 My son Jo Jordan is 15 years old. I have some rules for him. For example, he must get home before 10:00 p.m. He is unhappy with them at first and often argues (争论) with me. He says he has less freedom than Meatball. Meatball is our cat. He was once a homeless cat. He comes to our house by accident. Jordan loves him, so we keep him. Jordan names him Meatball because the cat likes eating meatballs. Meatball is used to living outside. After a few hours in the house, he sits by the door and meows (喵喵叫), wanting someone to let him go out. One night in January, the temperature is very low. Meatball stands at the door, meowing to go out. It is too cold outside, so I don’t let him out. But the next morning, I can’t find him. I ask Jordan if he has seen him. Jordan says, “He was meowing by the door last night, so I let him out.” I am angry, but I have no time to argue with Jordan. I rush out and finally find Meatball under my car. He is weak. I drive him to the vet’s with Jordan. Luckily, the vet says Meatball just has some frostbite (冻伤) and will get better soon. On our way home, Jordan says sorry to Meatball again and again. To my surprise, he also says sorry to me, “Mom, I’m sorry for breaking the rule. Now I know you’re doing that because you love me.” 1．Why does Jordan name the cat Meatball? A．Because the cat looks like a meatball. B．Because he found the cat near a meatball store. C．Because the cat likes eating meatballs.

A．Rules Are Strict B．A Lovely Cat C．Jordan and His Mom D．Love Behind the Rules 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者为儿子制定了很多规矩，他们常常因为这些规矩争吵。有一天，由于天气很冷，所以作者不让猫出门，但是作者的儿子却把猫放出去了，导致猫冻伤，事后作者的儿子意识到妈妈制定规矩是因为爱他。 1．根据第二段“Jordan names him Meatball because the cat likes eating meatballs.”可知，Jordan给猫起名叫肉丸，因为猫喜欢吃肉丸。 2．根据第四段“I rush out and finally find Meatball under my car.”可知，他们在车底下找到了猫。 3．根据第二段“He comes to our house by accident.”可知，猫来到Jordan家；根据第三段“Meatball stands at the door, meowing to go out.”可知，有一天晚上，猫在门口叫着要出去；根据第四段“I am angry, but I have no time to argue with Jordan.”可知，妈妈很生气；根据第四段“I drive him to the vet’s with Jordan.”可知，妈妈开车送猫去医院；根据最后一段“he also says sorry to me”可知，Jordan向妈妈道歉。正确顺序是b-d-a-e-c。 4．根据第四段“I rush out and finally find Meatball under my car. He is weak. I drive him to the vet’s with Jordan.”可知，him指代的是Meatball，结合第二段“Meatball is our cat.”可知，Meatball是一只猫。 5．本文的核心是：妈妈给Jordan制定规矩，一开始Jordan不理解，后来通过猫的事件明白妈妈的规矩背后是爱。选项D“规矩背后的爱”精准概括了文章主旨。 ①Dolphins are smart animals. They seem to be able to think, understand and learn things quickly. Scientists say dolphins and humans are similar in some ways. But how? ②Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”. The name is a special whistle (口哨). Each dolphin chooses a special whistle for itself, usually before its first birthday. ③Dolphins can “talk” to each other about a lot of things, such as their ages, their feelings and the ways to find food. They also use sound and body language to talk. ④Dolphins are also group animals. They travel together in groups called pods (一小群), and they often join others from different pods to play games and have fun—just like people. ⑤Both dolphins and humans make plans to get things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent way to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins make a sound to the fishermen. Then the fishermen put their nets into the water. In this way, the fishermen can catch a lot of fish. And dolphins can get some of the fish that run away from the nets. 1．Dolphins are similar to humans because ________. a. both humans and dolphins have names b. both humans and dolphins talk with others c. both humans and dolphins celebrate their birthdays d. both humans and dolphins are group animals A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcd 2．What does the underlined word “intelligent” mean in the last paragraph? A．Difficult. B．Easy. C．Smart. D．Quiet. 3．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Dolphins are smart and are like humans in some ways. B．Dolphins are group animals because they play together. C．Dolphins help humans do many things like catching fish. D．Dolphins can talk to each other and even talk to humans. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了海豚与人类的相似之处：它们有各自的名字、能交流、群居生活、会合作制定计划，体现出它们的聪明才智。 1．a：第二段说每只海豚都有自己的“名字”（特殊口哨）。b：第三段说海豚可以互相“交谈”很多事情。c：第二段提到海豚在一岁前选择口哨，但并未说它们庆祝生日。d：第四段说海豚是群居动物，和人类一样。因此正确选项为a、b、d，即B。 2．最后一段描述海豚用聪明的方法与渔民合作捕鱼，intelligent意为“聪明的”，与smart同义。 3．文章开篇点明海豚聪明且与人类在某些方面相似，后文分别举例说明。 Elephants are the largest of all land animals. However, there are not many of them living in the world today. World Elephant Day falls on August 12 every year. It calls on people to be kind to elephants. In China, the Asian elephant is the first-class protected (一级保护) wild animal. The animal mainly lives in Yunnan. Because of China’s hard work, the number of elephants in China gets to about 300 by the end of 2021. And the number becomes bigger and bigger. ________ Let’s keep reading to find out. Elephant Canteen (食堂) Asian elephants eat 400 kinds of food. Sometimes they visit the farms and eat vegetables and fruit. People can get money from the government (政府), but it’s still a big problem. These years, China builds many elephant canteens in different places. There people grow foods, and elephants love to eat. China is now building a national park for elephants as well. Elephant Doctor Elephants sometimes get hurt. So China asks elephant doctors to help. Bao Mingwei is one of them. Bao Mingwei is 44 this year, and he does this job for 24 years. He helps with the birth (出生) of nine elephant babies and saves 10 elephants. Bao knows how to be good with them. In March 2021, a group of Asian elephants in China make news around the world. Three months later, a young elephant leaves the group and gets lost for about 30 days. To keep it safe, Bao follows it for 33 days. After making sure the elephant is safe, he sends it back to its home. 1．What is World Elephant Day for? A．Asking people to love elephants. B．Getting money for elephants. C．Growing food for elephants. D．Looking for elephant doctors. 2．Which of the following can be put in ________? A．What do elephants eat? B．How does China do this? C．Where do elephants live? D．When do elephants make news? 3．How do people in Elephant Canteen help elephants? A．By looking for elephants. B．By raising baby elephants. C．By growing foods. D．By cooking for elephants. 4．According to the passage, which of the following about Bao Mingwei is TRUE? A．He follows the lost elephant for 3 days. B．He is an elephant doctor when he is 20. C．He helps ten baby elephants. D．He is the only elephant doctor. 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Making a New Start B．Caring about our Big Friends C．Looking for Elephants D．Painting by Numbers 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇关于大象保护的说明文。文章首先介绍了世界大象日及其设立目的，接着讲述了中国在保护亚洲象方面所做的努力，包括建立大象食堂、设立国家公园以及象医生对大象的救助和照料，最后通过一个象医生救助迷路小象的具体事例，展现了中国在大象保护工作中的细致与付出。 1．根据文章第一段中“World Elephant Day falls on August 12 every year. It calls on people to be kind to elephants.”可知，设立该节日的目的是呼吁人们关爱大象。 2．横线前一句提到“Because of China’s hard work, the number of elephants in China gets to about 300 by the end of 2021. And the number becomes bigger and bigger.”横线后紧接着是“Let’s keep reading to find out.”以及下文的小标题“Elephant Canteen”和“Elephant Doctor”，这些都是中国保护大象的具体措施。因此，横线处应该是一个承上启下的问句，询问“中国是如何做到这一点的？”。 3．根据“Elephant Canteen”这一部分中的描述“There people grow foods, and elephants love to eat.”可知，人们通过种植食物来帮助大象。 4．根据“Elephant Doctor”部分“Bao Mingwei is 44 this year, and he does this job for 24 years.”计算可知，44-24=20，说明他从20岁开始做象医生。 5．文章主要讲述了中国为了保护大象所采取的各种措施，如设立节日、建立食堂、配备医生等，体现了对大象的关爱。选项B“关爱我们的大朋友”最能概括文章的主旨。 I enjoy going to the city zoo where the lions and giraffes live. But I like my “zoo” better. I am not kidding. I really do have my own zoo. My backyard zoo is full of small animals. There are crickets (蟋蟀) and ants. Sometimes I see butterflies and foxes. At night, there are fireflies flying here and there. I have counted over thirty animals in my zoo. Sometimes I watch the foxes playing for fun. They are all fun to watch. Other times I watch ants carrying pieces of food. Some pieces of food are bigger than they are! In spring, I watch the swallows. They build nests in the trees. Mother swallows lay eggs in the nest. Soon the eggs hatch and the tiny baby swallows look at a new world over the nest with interest. A few weeks later, the baby swallows learn to fly. The swallows fly away when the weather gets cold. But that is okay. I know they will be back. The city zoo is fun to visit. It has more animals than my backyard zoo. But the animals in my zoo are lucky. They do not live in cages. And they live free in my zoo! 1．When does the writer see fireflies flying here and there? A．At night. B．In the afternoon. C．At noon. D．In the morning. 2．What does the writer think of the ants carrying food? A．They are very busy. B．They are poor. C．They are quite strong. D．They are boring. 3．What will happen when the weather gets warm next year? A．The writer will forget about her backyard zoo. B．No animals will be found in the backyard zoo. C．Swallows will leave the zoo. D．Swallows will return to the zoo. 4．The animals in the writer’s zoo are lucky because ________. A．they are never hungry B．they do not live in cages C．they do not live in the city D．they live with other animals 5．What is the best title for this passage? A．The City Zoo. B．My Backyard Zoo C．Swallows D．Birds’ Nests 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者拥有一个充满生机的后院“动物园”，里面有各种小动物，与城市动物园相比，作者认为自己的“动物园”里的动物更幸运，因为它们不用生活在笼子里，而是自由自在地生活。 1．文章第二段提到“At night, there are fireflies flying here and there.”，直接说明了作者在晚上看到萤火虫到处飞。 2．文章第三段提到“Other times I watch ants carrying pieces of food. Some pieces of food are bigger than they are!”，表明蚂蚁搬运的食物比它们自身还大，由此可推断作者认为蚂蚁相当强壮。 3．文章第四段提到“The swallows fly away when the weather gets cold. But that is okay. I know they will be back.”，说明燕子在天气变冷时会飞走，但天气变暖时会回来，由此可推断明年天气变暖时燕子会回到“动物园”。 4．文章最后一段提到“But the animals in my zoo are lucky. They do not live in cages.”，直接说明了作者认为自己的“动物园”里的动物幸运是因为它们不用生活在笼子里。 5．文章主要围绕作者的后院“动物园”展开，描述了里面的各种小动物以及作者对它们的喜爱，所以B项“My Backyard Zoo”最适合作为文章标题。 ①To-wit-to-woo, to-wit-to-woo! What’s that sound coming from the forest in the moonlight? It’s an owl, of course! ②All day long, seated in a tree, the owl is sleeping or at least he’s trying to have a short light sleep, because it’s sometimes hard to close the eyes with all the sounds made by the little birds and animals in the forest! The owl hunts (捕猎) only at night. When evening comes, the animals all get to a safe place. The owl opens its big, round eyes. Any little animal around had better watch out! The owl mostly eats small animals like mice, but it wouldn’t say no to another bird! ③The owl uses its excellent hearing to find its food, and then it turns its head from side to side, using its eyes to follow the animal. At last, it flies down to get the animal. Owls have special, soft feathers, so they can fly without making any sound. Owls are such good hunters that they can even catch a fly in the air! ④The owl is quiet most of the time, except when you get too close to its home. The owl is a great mother. It will protect its babies by opening its feathers angrily. An owl will even hurt people if it thinks its babies are in danger! ⑤An owl has no teeth, so it eats an animal whole. All the parts of the animal that the owl can’t digest (消化) will end up as small pieces. If you find these small pieces, you know you are near an owl’s home. 1．Why can’t an owl sleep well in the day? A．Because it has to be busy hunting. B．Because it uses eyes to follow animals. C．Because small animals run here and there. D．Because the little birds and animals make lots of sounds. 2．Which of the following does an owl eat according to the text? A． B． C． D． 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．The owl opens its big, round eyes in daytime. B．An owl always attacks humans if they approach its home. C．The indigestible parts of the owl’s animals will end up as small pieces. D．The owl uses its excellent eyesight to find its food and its hearing to follow the animal. 4．What is the structure of the text? A．①/②/③④⑤ B．①/②③④/⑤ C．①/②③/④⑤ D．①/②③④⑤ 5．What is the theme of the text? A．Nature. B．Health. C．History. D．Culture. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了猫头鹰的生活习性、捕食方式、育幼行为及消化特点。 1．第②段“because it’s sometimes hard to close the eyes with all the sounds made by the little birds and animals in the forest”说明因为森林里小鸟和动物发出的很多声音，猫头鹰白天睡不好觉。 2．第②段明确说明“The owl mostly eats small animals like mice, but it wouldn’t say no to another bird!”，因此猫头鹰吃老鼠和其他鸟类。 3．第⑤段说明“All the parts of the animal that the owl can’t digest will end up as small pieces.”，由此推断猫头鹰无法消化的动物残渣会形成小颗粒。 4．第①段以声音引出猫头鹰；②③④⑤段分别从作息捕猎、捕食本领、护崽习性、进食消化方面全面介绍猫头鹰，整体结构为①/②③④⑤。 5．全文围绕猫头鹰这一动物的特征展开，属于“自然”主题。 重难语篇练习 Dolphins are much more intelligent than humans previously thought. Scientists have recently discovered that bottle-nosed dolphins (瓶鼻海豚) can identify themselves in the mirror—much like you and I can! When you see a zit (青春痘) on your face, what do you do? Go to the mirror time and again, and wonder what it is still doing there. Well, this is exactly what two male bottle-nosed dolphins, Presley and Tab, do as well. So, these lovable aquatic animals (水栖动物) are not just sailors’ friends, but they are also aware of their bodies—almost like humans! A Reuters news agency report in The Telegraph newspaper says that Presley and Tab stay in a pool with reflective glass walls in the New York Aquarium. Researchers in the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Osborn Laboratories of Marine Science noticed that when Presley and Tab saw their own reflections, they did not seem to think that they were looking at another dolphin. Dolphins are very social creatures, and are friendly with humans as well as their own kind. This got the researchers thinking. Perhaps the dolphins identified their own images? So they decided to find out. Using non-toxic (无毒的) ink, they made marks on different parts of the dolphins’ bodies, changing the place every week. Every time their bodies were marked, the dolphins made more trips to the mirror than usual. If the ink mark was on their tummy (肚子), they would expose their tummy to the mirror and look at it for a long time. Now doesn’t that sound familiar? Imagine the dolphins wondering—“Now where did that mark come from? I wonder how long it’s going to stay?” Till now, only the great apes (猿) like the chimps, the gorillas and the orangutans have displayed this quality of identifying their images in the mirror. All other animals have failed this test. The researchers feel that these findings may increase human understanding towards dolphins, which are being hunted and killed in great numbers. Dolphin fins are considered to be a very delicious dish in several Southeast Asian countries. 1．What have scientists discovered about bottle-nosed dolphins? A．They tend to have human awareness. B．They can recognize their bodies in the mirror. C．They love to see the reflections of their bodies. D．They are much more intelligent than humans. 2．How did the researchers carry out their experiment? A．By communicating more with the dolphins. B．By making the dolphins make more trips to the mirror. C．By drawing special symbols on the dolphins’ bodies. D．By exposing the dolphins’ tummies to the mirror. 3．Which statement can be inferred from the text? A．Dolphins are not being protected well. B．Male dolphins care much more about their images. C．Dolphins get along well with all creatures. D．Dolphins are smarter than the great apes like the chimps. 4．What’s the best title of the text? A．Dolphins: An Endangered Species in Need of Attention B．Dolphins: Social Beings with Unique Communication Skills C．Dolphins: Aquatic Animals Fond of Their Own Self-reflection D．Dolphins: Smart Creatures Capable of Self-recognition in Mirrors 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍科学家发现瓶鼻海豚能通过镜子识别自己，研究人员通过实验证实该结论，同时提及海豚生存现状堪忧，呼吁人们加强对它们的了解与保护。 1．细节理解题。根据“Scientists have recently discovered that bottle-nosed dolphins can identify themselves in the mirror—much like you and I can”可知，瓶鼻海豚能在镜子中识别自己的身体，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Using non-toxic ink, they made marks on different parts of the dolphins’ bodies, changing the place every week”可知，研究者通过在海豚身体画无毒标记做实验，故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“The researchers feel that these findings may increase human understanding towards dolphins, which are being hunted and killed in great numbers”可推断，海豚未被很好保护，故选A。 4．最佳标题题。结合全文可知，本文围绕瓶鼻海豚能在镜子中自我识别的发现展开，强调其智力特点，“Dolphins: Smart Creatures Capable of Self-recognition in Mirrors”最符合主旨，故选D。 “Save the whales!” That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed what he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood. It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whale’s coming. Many animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s home town. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they’d have to do anything about. Then one whale swam directly towards the land. It came in with the waves. When the waves receded, it stayed. Its huge body was on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the huge whale. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use. The whale was so heavy that they couldn’t move it. An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the whale. Jake and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could do something. Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shone the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times, they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to the sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water — a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its life. 1．What does the beginning of the story tell us about Jake? A．He didn’t like his neighbourhood. B．He worked in an animal rescue team. C．He thought whales were the most beautiful animals. D．He was concerned about animals. 2．What does the underlined word “receded” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Didn’t sleep. B．Went forward. C．Moved away. D．Rose up. 3．How did Jake and his family help save the whale? A．By asking local people for help. B．By giving the rescuers food and drink. C．By calling the rescue service. D．By moving the whale on the truck. 4．Which shows the correct order of the following events according to the passage? a. People had to become rescuers. b. The whale disappeared under the sea. c. People turned on the lights of their cars. d. Rescuers lifted the whale into the water. e. People failed to push the whale towards the sea. f. People in Jack’s home town went to see the whale. A．f → a → e → c → d → b B．f → a → d → e → c → b C．c → a → e → f → d → b D．c → a → b → f → d → e 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Jake Smith和他的邻居们如何齐心协力救助一头搁浅的鲸鱼的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“‘Save the whales!’ That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed what he cared.”可知，Jake关心动物。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“it stayed. Its huge body was on the sand”可知，鲸鱼搁浅在沙滩上，应是海浪退去了，所以划线部分的含义是“退去”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Jake and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers.”可知，Jake一家通过提供食物和饮料帮助救援。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them.”；“ Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers.”；“They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use.”；“ It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shone the headlights on the sand.”；“After trying many times, they were finally able to lift the whale into the water…disappeared for a moment under the sea”可知，正确事件顺序：人们去看鲸鱼→ 被迫成为救援者→推鲸鱼失败→ 用车灯照明→ 救援人员将鲸鱼抬入水中→ 鲸鱼潜入海中。故选A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
