❶ 中考英语阅读理解训练The giraffe

中考英语阅读理解训练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.?鲸鱼 B.?长颈鹿 C.?大象 D.?恐龙

(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

B. The giraffe is the largest animal on the land

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)根据下文颈长1.9米且是陆地动物，显然B是正确答案。

(2)giraffe颈骨的数量和人类颈骨数量相同，但鸟的颈骨数量比giraffe颈骨数量多，所以正确答案为C。

(3)这是一题细读题，文章中“By the age of eight it is full-grown.”故选C。

(4)这也是细读题，文章中“The baby, called a calf, is about 1.9 metres tall at birth.”故选D。

(5)这一题考查常识知识，长颈鹿看到虎，当然是尽力跑开，故选A。

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.
