Question

【題目】One type of fish is named salmon(大馬哈魚). There are many different kinds of salmon, but almost all of them mate(交配) in a very strange way. They are born in small, freshwater rivers. They live in the river for a year, and then swim downstream to a bigger river and eventually to the ocean very quickly. While they live in the ocean, salmon are silver coloured.

After several years at sea, the salmon grow very long and heavy. Then, as if by magic, they all begin to swim home. Each salmon somehow remembers where it was born and the very same area in the small river.

It is a long, difficult journey home. Once the salmon enter fresh, they stop eating. They also change colours. Some salmon turn red, other brown and grey, and some turn pink. Some salmon grow a large bulge on their back, called a hump. These salmon fight to swim upstream against the current of sometimes very to avoid bears, birds, and fishermen

Finally, the salmon that survive mate in the same river in which they were born. Then, after all that work, they die! These salmon still play an important role. Their dead bodies help to provide nutrition(營養(yǎng)) to the animals that live in and around the river When their eggs hatch, the cycle will start again.

【3】C

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要介紹了大馬哈魚的一些情況。大馬哈魚在出生的河流生活一年后，就會去大海生活，然而當(dāng)它們長大后，它們會想盡辦法回到出生的河流繁衍下一代。

【1】D 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的Once the salmon enter fresh, they stop eating. They also change colours.以及Some salmon grow a large bulge on their back, called a hump.可知，大馬哈魚在回到淡水河之后，不會做的是選項D。故選擇D。

【2】A 考查推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，大馬哈魚長大后就會回到出生的地方，故它們在大海里拼命吃只是為了能有能量回到出生地，故選擇A。

【3】C 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段的Finally, the salmon that survive mate in the same river in which they were born.和These salmon still play an important role. Their dead bodies help to provide nutrition(營養(yǎng)) to the animals that live in and around the river可知，選擇C。
