動物交流的初中英語閱讀

Ⅰ 八年級上冊英語閱讀理解：dolphins are not fish.they are mammals they live in groups and

Dolphins are not fish. They are mammals(哺乳動物). They live in groups and speak to each other in their own language. But they are quite different from almost all land animals. Their brain(大腦) is as big as men』s and they live a long life—at least 20 or 30 years.

Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to help them find their way around. They also use these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. They do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaw — the lower part of the mouth.

It is strange that dolphins are friendly to men, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and men. In the 19th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. In 1903 a passenger on a boat with the name of 「The Penguin」 shot and hurt Jack. Luckily the dolphin didn』t die, and after a long time he was well again. He guides the boats through the area for nine more years, but he refused to help the boat 「The Penguin」.

Today, some people still kill dolphins, but many countries in the world now protect them. In these places, people are not allowed to kill them.

1 The underline word jaw means _________in Chinese.

A.下顎 B.嘴巴 C.鼻子

2. Who was Jack?

A. The writer B. A dolphin C.A seaman

3. The dolphin guides the boats for about________.

A.32 years B. 9 years C.41 years

4. How do dolphins find their way?

A. They use sounds to find the way.

B. They use their noses to smell the way.

C. They use their eyes to see the way.

d. They use their ears to hear the way.

5. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT right?

A. Dolphins are not fish.

B. Dolphins don』t live in groups.

C. Dolphins are kind and friendly to people.

Snakes蛇

The snake is a long and thin animal that lives in grass or other dark places.A snake has no legs or feet, but it can move very fast on its stomach. Snakes usually have green, yellow or black skins, which make them difficult for their enemies to find them. Some kinds of snakes live in water. They can swim as freely as fish.

Snakes are cold-blooded animals. In winter they hibernatein holes which are narrow enough only to hold the snakes' bodies. The snakes can sleep through a whole winter without eating and moving. They can not feel any pain. The hibernation period lasts about five months. When spring comes, the snakes come out and begin their normal life.

Snakes can take many things as food, such as mice, sparrows, frogs,birds' eggs, pests and so on. People sometimes can see a snake eat a sparrow. First it moves close to the sparrow, then it puts out its tongue and brings the sparrow into its mouth and swallows it, which makes a lump in the snake's body. After some time the lump disappears.

As snakes are dreadful-looking, people are afraid of them. Many people drive them away whenever they see snakes. But in Chinese fairy tales, snakes are by no means bad. They seem to have human feelings. They can change into pretty girls. People like and respect them. The most well-known is the story about the White Snake and the Blue Snake.

In fact, snakes are not as dreadful as they look. They can help us to kill mice and pests. They can provide us with delicious meat. Their blood is a good drink. Poisonous snakes are especially useful. We can make valuable drugs with them.

篇一：
Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.

The hunt for the puma began in a *** all village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is corneredadj.被困得走投無路的. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and *** all animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people plained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a busines *** an on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it e from ? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.

美洲獅是一種體形似貓的大動物，產於美洲。當倫敦動物園接到報告說，在倫敦以南45英里處發現一隻美洲獅時，這些報告並沒有受到重視。可是，隨著證據越來越多，動物園的專家們感到有必要進行一番調查，因為凡是聲稱見到過美洲獅的人們所描述的情況竟是出奇地相似。

搜尋美洲獅的工作是從一座小村莊開始的。那裡的一位婦女在採摘黑莓時的看見"一隻大貓"，離她僅5碼遠，她剛看見它，它就立刻逃走了。專家證實，美洲獅非被逼得走投無路，是決不會傷人的。事實上搜尋工作很困難，因為常常是早晨在甲地發現那隻美洲獅，晚上卻在20英里外的乙地發現它的蹤跡。無論它走哪兒，一路上總會留下一串死鹿及死兔子之類的小動物，在許多地方看見爪印，灌木叢中發現了粘在上面的美洲獅毛。有人抱怨說夜裡聽見"像貓一樣的叫聲";一位商人去釣魚，看見那隻美洲獅在樹上。專家們如今已經完全肯定那隻動物就是美洲獅，但它是從哪兒來的呢?由於全國動物園沒有一家報告丟了美洲獅，因此那隻美洲獅一定是某位私人收藏豢養的，不知怎麼設法逃出來了。搜尋工作進行了好幾個星期，但始終未能逮住那隻美洲獅。想到在寧靜的鄉村裡有一頭危險的野獸繼續逍遙流竄，真令人擔心。
篇二：
Our vicar is always raising money for one cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired. The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since.

' One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start: the clock was striking the hours! Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o'clock, but the bell struck thirteen times before it stopped. Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. In the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer. 'Whatever are you doing up here Bill ?' asked the vicar in surprise.

' I'm trying to repair the bell,' answered Bill.' I've been ing up here night after night for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.'

'You certainly did give me a surprise!' said the vicar. 'You've probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, I'm glad the bell is working again.'

'That's the trouble, vicar,' answered Bill. 'It's working all right, but I'm afraid that at one o'clock it will strike thirteen times and there's nothing I can do about it.'

'We'll get used to that Bill,' said the vicar. 'Thirteen is not as good as one but it's better than nothing. Now let's go downstairs and have a cup of tea.'

我們教區的牧師總是為各種各樣的事籌集資金。但始終未能籌足資金把教堂的鍾修好。教堂的鍾很大，以前不分晝夜打點報時，但很多年前遭到毀壞，從此便無聲無息了。

一天夜裡，我們的牧師突然被驚醒了，大鍾又在"打點"報時了!他一看錶，才1點鍾，可是那鍾一邊敲了13下才停。牧師拿著一支電筒走上鍾樓想去看看究竟發生了什麼事情。藉著電筒光。他看見一個人，馬上認出那是本地雜貨店主經比爾.威爾金斯。

"你究竟在這上面干什麼，比爾?"牧師驚訝地問。

"我想把這口鍾修好，"比爾回答說。"好幾個星期了，我天天夜裡到鍾樓上來。嗯，我是想讓你大吃一驚。"

"你確實使我大吃了一驚!"牧師說，"也許同時你把村裡所有的人都吵醒了。不過，鍾又能報時了，我還是很高興的。"

"問題就在這里，牧師，"比爾回答說。"不錯，鍾能報時了，但是，恐怕每到1點鍾，它總要敲13下，對此我已無能為力了。"

"大家慢慢就習慣了，比爾，"牧師說。"13下是不如1下好，但總比1下也不敲強。來，咱們下樓去喝杯茶吧。"
篇三：
Some time ago，an interesting discovery was made by archaeologists on the Aegeanadj.愛琴海的;n.island of Kea.An American team explored a temple which stands in an ancient city on the promontory海角 of Ayia Irini.The city at one time must have been prosperous繁榮的，for it enjoyed a high level of civilization.Houses--often three storeys樓層 high--were built of stone.They had large rooms with beautifully decorated walls.The city was even equipped with a drainage system，for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets.

The temple which the archaeologists explored was used as a place of worship禮拜 from the fifteenth century B.C. until Roman times. In the most sacred room of the temple, clay fragments碎片 of fifteen statues were found. Each of these represented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted. The body of one statue was found among remains dating from the fifteenth century B.C. Its missing head happened to be among remains of the fifth century B.C. This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved. It was very old and precious even then即使在那時. When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments, they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman. She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hip. She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground. Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed, but, so far, the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity.

不久之前，在愛琴海的基亞島上，考古工作者有一項有趣的發現。一個美國考古隊在阿伊亞.依里尼海角的一座古城裡考察了一座廟宇。這座古城肯定一度很繁榮，因為它曾享有高度的文明，房子一般有3層樓高，用石塊修建。裡面房間很大，牆壁裝飾華麗。城裡甚至還敷設了排水系統，因為在狹窄的街道底下發現了許許多多陶土製作的排水管道。

考古工作者考察的這座廟宇從公元前15世紀直到羅馬時代一直是祭祀祈禱的場所。在廟中最神聖的一間殿堂里發現了15尊陶雕像的碎片。每一尊雕像代表一位女神，而且一度上過色。其中有一尊雕像，她的軀體是在公元前15世紀的歷史文物中發現的，而她那身異處的腦袋卻碰巧是在公元前5世紀的文物中找到的。她的腦袋一定是在古希臘羅馬時代就為人所發現，並受到精心的保護。卻使在當時，它也屬歷史悠久的珍奇之物。考古工作者把這些碎片重新拼裝起來後，驚奇地發現那位女神原來是一位相貌十分摩登的女郎。她身高3英尺，雙手叉腰。身穿一條拖地長裙，盡管上了年紀，但體態確實優美。不過，考古工作者至今未能確定這位女神的身份。

Ⅳ 中考英語閱讀理解訓練The giraffe

中考英語閱讀理解訓練The giraffe

The giraffe is the tallest modern land animal. It can be over 5.5 metres tall. Its neck alone may be 1.9metres long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones in its neck, the same number as in the human. Even a small bird has many more bones in its neck than in a tall giraffe. Each bone in a giraffe's neck is very long, while the bones in a human neck are small. That makes the difference. A female giraffe gives birth to one baby at a time. The baby, called a calf, is about 1.9 metres tall at birth. By the age of eight it is full-grown. The giraffe eats mostly leaves. Because it has a long neck, it can reach the leaves high up on the trees.

(1)In this passage the underlined word 「giraffe」 means _______.

A.?鯨魚 B.?長頸鹿 C.?大象 D.?恐龍

(2)The bones in a bird's neck is ________.

A. as big as in a human's neck B. not so big as in a giraffe's neck

C. many more than in a human's neck D. much smaller in a giraffe's neck

(3)Which of the following is true?

A. A giraffe has only seven bones

B. The giraffe is the largest animal on the land

C. It takes eight years for a giraffe to grow up

D. Most of the leaves on the trees are eaten by giraffes

(4)When a giraffe is born, it is about ______.

A. 5.5 metres long B. 5.5 metres tall C. 1.9 metres long D. 1.9 metres tall

A. it will run away as fast as possible B. it will run to eat the tiger

C. it will make the tiger bring it something to eat

D. it will make one of the smallest animals bring the tiger something to eat

解析

(1)根據下文頸長1.9米且是陸地動物，顯然B是正確答案。

(2)giraffe頸骨的數量和人類頸骨數量相同，但鳥的頸骨數量比giraffe頸骨數量多，所以正確答案為C。

(3)這是一題細讀題，文章中「By the age of eight it is full-grown.」故選C。

(4)這也是細讀題，文章中「The baby, called a calf, is about 1.9 metres tall at birth.」故選D。

(5)這一題考查常識知識，長頸鹿看到虎，當然是盡力跑開，故選A。
