Do you see a robin (知更鳥)? Robins are common birds that live in Asia, Europe and Africa. They are small, about 14 centimeters long, with the weight of about 20 grams. They have dark heads and red chests.

A good place to see robins is your own backyard. Robins don’t seem to mind being around people. You may also see robins on lawns (草坪) in parks. They like eating worms and bugs best.

Early in spring, robins build their nests in trees. Some robins can live up to 12 years. These birds may build 20 or even 30 nests in their lifetime! The nests are made of grass, sticks and mud. The mud puts everything together.

The mother robin lays one egg for three or four days. She sits on them to keep them warm. The eggs are blue. After the babies hatch (孵化), both the mother and the father feed them.

Most robins stay at one place through the four seasons. But some of them will fly to southern countries in winter.

【答案】

【1】weighs

【2】favorite

【3】Life

【4】parents

【5】year

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文給我們介紹了一種鳥—知更鳥，這種鳥分布在亞洲、歐洲和非洲，它很小，體重很輕。知更鳥以蟲子為食，他們在樹上自己做窩，鳥蛋孵化后，鳥媽媽和鳥爸爸共同喂養(yǎng)他們。知更鳥一年一般都待在一個(gè)地方。

【1】weighs動詞，重……。根據(jù)短文中They are small, about 14 centimeters long, with the weight of about 20 grams可知，20克是這種鳥的重量，原文weight是名詞，用于短語with the weight of...。這里填的是句子的謂語動詞，故用weighs。

【2】favorite最喜歡的，是一個(gè)形容詞。根據(jù)短文第二段中They like eating worms and bugs best.可知，知更鳥最喜歡蟲子和臭蟲。句中的like...best與這里的favorite 同義。

【3】Life生活，是一個(gè)名詞。這一部分講述的是關(guān)于知更鳥的生活習(xí)性，因此標(biāo)題應(yīng)該是Life。

【4】parents父母，名詞。根據(jù)短文中After the babies hatch (孵化), both the mother and the father feed them可知，鳥蛋孵化后，知更鳥的爸爸、媽媽喂養(yǎng)他們。原文里的the mother and the father可以用一個(gè)詞parents來替代。

【5】year年。根據(jù)短文的最后一段中Most robins stay at one place through the four seasons可知，大多數(shù)的知更鳥一年四季都待在一個(gè)地方。原文的the four seasons也就是a year，一年。
