Animals

　　The largest animal ever to live on the earth is the blue whale(藍(lán)鯨). It weighs about 80 tons－more than 24 elephants. It is more than 30 metres long. A newborn baby whale weighs as much as a big elephant.

　　Cats can survive(存活) falls from a very high place because they can turn themselves up the right way so as to keep their bodies safe. One cat fell 32 floors on to the street, but was just hurt a little.

　　A bear can run as fast as a horse.

　　A newborn panda is smaller than a mouse(老鼠), and weighs about 100 grams(克).

　　Elephants are the most careful animal in their love. A male(雄性的) elephant may show his lady love for up to three years until the lady takes his love. They often show their love by touching each other's body.

　　Usually, wolves(狼) do not attack(襲擊) people. For years a Canadian newspaper says that they would give anyone quite a lot of money if he could show that a wolf had attacked a person. But nobody could do that. Wolves usually do not go together though they may do this in winter.

1．How much does a newborn blue whale weigh? ________

[　　]

A．10 tons.

B．As much as a small whale.

C．As much as 10 elephants.

D．More than 3 tons.

2．Cats can survive falls because ________ in the fall.

[　　]

A．they can keep themselves safe

B．they are small

D．didn't

5．A wolf won't attack people except ________.

[　　]

A．in a special case
B．in winter
C．in packs
D．that they have babies
答案：D;A;B;A;A
解析：

　　1．這是一道數(shù)據(jù)推算題．根據(jù)短文第一段第二句It weighs about 80 tons－more than 24 elephants可以推算出，每只大象的重量大約3.3噸．再根據(jù)短文第一段最后一句A newborn baby whale weights as much as a big elephant.可以推算出，新出生的藍(lán)鯨重3噸多．

　　2．這是一道事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題，文中信息比較明顯．由短文第二段可以判斷出正確答案．

　　3．這還是一道事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題．短文第四段最后一句They often show their love by touching each other's body.便清楚地表明．

　　4．這是一道轉(zhuǎn)換理解題．該題A male elephant will keep following a lady elephant to show his love for a long time until the lady takes his love.與短文第四段第二句A male elephant may show his lady love for up to three years until the lady takes his love.只不過是同一意思的不同表達(dá)法而已．兩句中的will和may均為情態(tài)動(dòng)詞，都是表示“可能”．

　　5．這是一道詞義理解題，考生需要透過表面文字信息，去推測詞語所隱含的意思．短文最后一段第一句Usually，wolves do not attack people中的時(shí)間狀語usually一詞，意為“通�！薄ⅰ敖�(jīng)�！�、“慣�！保@句話所包含的意思是，在特殊情況下，狼也會(huì)襲擊人的．

　　We sometimes say the lion is “the king of the jungle(叢林)” because it is stronger and more dangerous than the other animals. It can run faster than most other animals and it can hunt(捕獵) the best. The lion is the highest animal in the land food chain. In the sea, the shark is at the top of the food chain. It can swim faster than most other sea animals. It can also use its big teeth to catch other sea animals and eat them.

　　What is at the top of the world's food chain? People are! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented cars and now we can move the fastest. We could not fight better than a lion, so we invented guns. Now we can hunt the best.

　　People's inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, many years ago in Inner Mongolia, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves. The wild wolves usually eat wild rabbits. But in recent(近來的) years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming bigger and bigger because the number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller. The wild rabbits competed(競爭) for the grass with the sheep and cows. Much of the grassland became desert because it was seriously destroyed(毀壞) by the rabbits.

　　Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger, too! If we protect animals, we are protecting ourselves.

1．How many kinds of food chains are mentioned in this passage?

[　　]

A．Two.
B．Three.
C．Four.
D．None.

2．Why are people at the top of the world's food chain?

[　　]

A．Because they can use guns.

B．Because they are the biggest.

C．Because they are the cleverest.

D．Because they can drive cars.

3．Which order of the pictures best describes the third paragraph?

[　　]

A．b, d, a, c, e
B．b, d, f, c, e
C．b, f, a, e, c
D．b, e, d, c, a

4．In what way do we say people's inventions can be sometimes dangerous?

[　　]

A．They can kill a lot of wild wolves.

B．They can destroy the food chain.

C．They can destroy the grassland.

D．They can make wild rabbits grow bigger and bigger.

5．What is the best title(標(biāo)題) of the passage?

[　　]

A．People's inventions
B．Lions and sharks
C．Food chain
D．Desert

閱讀理解（二）（本題共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）
閱讀下列短文回答問題：
The most unusual museum in London is the Science Museum. In most museums, there’s no shouting and no running, and you aren’t allowed to touch the exhibits. But the Science Museum is different… because it’s noisy ! People talk about what they can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it’s a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.
When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad. This is my favorite room because you can do physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position. I also go to the Rocket Show. You can learn how we travel into space and back again.
Then I go upstairs to the Human and Nature room. You can compare your speed with animals there. You hear a noise and push a button. If you aren’t fast enough, the lion catches you! I’m faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.
You can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well. For example, you mustn’t take photos of the exhibits in the museum. But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops.
Above all, the Science Museum is free. That means you can drop in for a few minutes or you can stay as long as you like – it’s open every day, from 10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It’s my favorite museum in the whole world.
【小題1】Where does Tony go first when he visits the Science Museum?
【小題2】What can you try out in the Human and Nature room?
【小題3】How much does it cost to go in the Science Museum?
【小題4】How long can you stay at the Science Museum ?
【小題5】What does the writer think of the Science Museum?
