A篇
Many animals use their senses in amazing ways.For example,some birds can see the
Earth's magnetic field (and use it to find their way when they fly long distances.
Scientists call this "magnetoreception".Pigeons are famous for this ability.They can
fly hundreds of kilometres and still return home.
But pigeons are not the only animals with this skill.Sea turtles also use the Earth's
magnetic field to navigate().After hatching on beaches,baby sea turtles swim into
the ocean.They "remember"the magnetic field of the beach and return to the
same place many years later to lay eggs.
Bees also have magnetoreception.They use it to find flowers and return to their hives
()In experiments,scientists changed the magnetic field around a beehive.The
bees flew in the wrong direction (and had trouble finding their way back.
How do animals sense the magnetic field?Scientists believe that some animals have
tiny magnetic particles(磁性颗粒)in their bodies.These particles move when the
magnetic field changes,sending signals to the brain.This helps the animals "feel"
direction.
This special sense is still not fully understood.But it shows how wonderful nature is.
()1.What does the underlined word "magnetoreception"mean?
A.The ability to see colours.
B.The ability to sense heat.
C.The ability to feel direction through magnetic fields.
D.The ability to communicate with other animals.
()2.According to the passage,which animal use magnetoreception to return to the
same beach to lay eggs?
A.Pigeons.
B.Sea turtles.
C.Bees.
D.Both pigeons and bees.
()3.What happened when scientists changed the magnetic field near a beehive?
A.The bees made more honey.
B.The bees started fighting.
C.The bees got lost easily.
D.The bees flew faster.
()4.How do animals sense the magnetic field according to scientists?
A.By using their eyes.
B.By listening to sound.
C.By moving tiny particles in their bodies.
D.By following other animals.
()5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Only pigeons have the ability of magnetoreception.
B.Scientists know exactly how magnetoreception works.
C.Baby sea turtles learn the magnetic field of their home beach.
D.Bees use magnetoreception only to find flowers.

Many people think that pigeons are common and uninteresting birds.But a student
named Jack had a different experience.In his biology class,the teacher asked everyone
to choose an animal to study.Jack chose pigeons,though he thought they were boring
at first.
In the first few days,Jack went to the park to watch pigeons.They seemed to do
nothing but walk around and eat food.He wrote in his diary,"Pigeons are so boring!
They just knock around all day and leave droppings everywhere."He felt disappointed
(失望的),
But then things changed.His teacher suggested he search online for more
information.Jack started reading articles about pigeon intelligence()He found
out that pigeons can recognise themselves in mirrors一a sign of self-awareness(自我意
)They can also remember hundreds of different pictures.Some pigeons can even
tell the difference between paintings by different artists!
Jack became very interested.He decided to do a small experiment.He put a mirror in
his garden and watched a pigeon.To his surprise,the pigeon looked at itself and
started to clean its feathers in front of the mirror.Jack recorded the moment and
shared it with his classmates.
"At first,I thought pigeons were dirty and stupid.But now I realise they are amazing
animals.We only need to take time to understand them,"Jack wrote in his final
report.
()1.How did Jack feel about pigeons at the beginning of his study?
A.He found them interesting.
B.He thought they were boring and dirty.
C.He was afraid of them.
D.He thought they were very smart.
()2.What changed Jack's opinion about pigeons?
A.Watching them in the park.
B.Reading online information.
C.Talking to his teacher.
D.Seeing them in the mirror.
()3.What did Jack's experiment prove?
A.Pigeons can talk to each other.
B.Pigeons can recognise themselves.
C.Pigeons are afraid of mirrors.
D.Pigeons can paint pictures.
()4.What lesson did Jack learn from the experience?
A.All animals are the same.
B.Online research is not helpful.
C.We shouldn't judge animals too quickly
D.Pigeons are the smartest animals

good flower,it flies back to the hive and does a dance.The dance tells other bees the

information.Tom was 4.
that such small insects could communicate in this way.
He also learned that bees play a very important role in nature.They help plants grow
by 5.pollen()from one flower to another.Without bees,many fruits and
vegetables would not grow.However,the number of bees is 6.fast because of
pesticides(杀虫剂)and habitat loss.
Tom wanted to do something to help.He decided to plant some flowers in his garden

bees could find food.He also told his neighbours about the importance of
bees.Some of them agreed to plant flowers 8.

sugar water near it.To his joy,the bee drank the water and flew away after a few 9.

三、阅读短文回答问题
Some animals have surprising abilities that we don't know about.For example,pigeons
can recognise themselves in mirrors.This is a sign of high intelligence.Only a few
animals,like dolphins,elephants,and great apes,have this ability.
Another interesting fact is that some pigeons can tell the difference between different
kinds of art.In one study,pigeons were shown paintings by Monet and Picasso.After
some training,they could tell which painting was by which artist.Even more surprising,
they could recognise new paintings by the same artists.This shows that pigeons can
learn to group(份类)things by style..
Pigeons also have an excellent memory ()They can remember hundreds of
different pictures for a long time.In an experiment,pigeons were shown pictures of
simple objects.Two years later,they could still remember many of them.This is better
than many people's memory for such things.
These studies show that pigeons are much smarter than most people think.Next time
you see a pigeon,take a closer look.Maybe it's thinking about something more than
just a piece of bread.
1.According to the passage,which animals besides pigeons can recognise themselves
in mirrors?
2.What did the study about artists show about pigeons?
3.How long could pigeons remember pictures in the experiment?
4.Is a pigeon's memory for simple pictures better or worse than a human's?
5.What does the writer suggest we do when we see a pigeon?

My Understanding of Animals
I used to think pigeons were boring and dirty.When I saw them in the park,they just
walked around and left droppings everywhere.I never wanted to get close to them.
But after reading a story about pigeons,my idea changed.I learned that pigeons can
recognise themselves in mirrors and fly very fast.They are actually smart animals.Now
I think we should not judge animals too quickly.Everyone,including animals,has
amazing sides if we take time to understand them.
