Ⅲ.阅读理解
Elephants are the largest terrestrial(陆地的) animals. For a long time, they are very helpful. They carry big trees, take people from place to place, and are even used in wars.
Some people think it's not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard. In fact, that's wrong. Sometimes, a needle(针) can also be very dangerous for the elephant.
People say elephants are afraid of mice. This is wrong, too. In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight, so they usually cannot see a mouse even if one comes very close to them. If a person has a good memory, people will say that he has an elephant memory. However, up to now, no study shows that elephants have a better memory than any other animal.
People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called “elephant graveyard”.Often, hunters try to find such places to get ivory(象牙), but few people really find places like that. In fact, when elephants are old or get sick, they will stay in deep and secret caves until they get better or die.
24.Elephants can help people a lot EXCEPT(除了)　　　　.
A.to carry heavy trees
B.to help people build houses
C.to carry people to different places
D.to help people fight in the war
25.Why do some people think it isn't easy to hurt an elephant
A.Because the elephant is too big.
B.Because people can't get close to it.
C.Because the elephant can kill people.
D.Because its skin is thick and hard.
26.What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “graveyard”
A.A place for hiding dead bodies.
B.A place for animals to play in.
C.A place with yards and flowers.
D.A place where elephants are safe.
27.What can we learn from the passage
A.Elephants are afraid of mice.
B.Elephants have a very poor memory.
C.Elephants cannot see very clearly.
D.Elephants never go to caves.
答案 24-27

Ⅲ.[主旨大意] 本文是一篇说明文。大象是陆地上最大的动物, 它可以帮助人们做很多事情。但是有很多关于大象的观点其实都是错误的。这篇短文给我们介绍了这些错误的观点和真实的情况。
24.B　细节理解题。根据第一段中“For a long time, they are very helpful. They carry big trees, take people from place to place, and are even used in wars.”可知, 大象是非常有帮助的, 它们可以搬运大的树木、带人们从一个地方到另一个地方、甚至被用在战争中。因此A、C和D三个选项都提到了, 没有提到帮助人们修建房子。B。
25.D　细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some people think it's not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard.”可知, 一些人认为伤害大象是不容易的, 因为它的皮很厚、很硬。D。
26.A　词义猜测题。根据画线单词所在的句子可知,人们认为当大象要死去的时候,它们会把自己藏在所谓的“大象的坟墓”里。因此graveyard是死去的大象所在的地方。A。
27.C　推理判断题。根据第三段中“In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight, so they usually cannot see a mouse even if one comes very close to them.”可知, 大象的视力是很差的。C。
Ⅳ.差的
