There was once an elephant who wanted to be a photographer. How his friends would laugh when they heard him talk about it!
“How 26 ,” said some, “there aren’t any cameras for elephants!”
“What a waste of time,” others would say, “there’s nothing to photograph here anyway...”
But the elephant kept following his 27 , and, piece by piece, he succeeded in cobbling together some small old junk and spare parts, and finally made a so-called camera. To make the camera work, the elephant had to 28 everything himself, from a button he pressed with the end of his trunk—the long nose, to a large amount of iron used for making a frame to tie the camera to his head.
When it was all finished, he could 29 take his first photos. However, the elephant camera was so large and 30 that it seemed like a huge foolish mask. So many animals laughed as he went by that the elephant began to think of 31 his dream. Even worse, it was beginning to look like those who had said there was nothing to photograph there had been right...
But things worked out 32 . The elephant walked around with the camera on his 33 . It was so funny that no one could stop 34 when they saw him. And, using a great deal of good humour, the elephant managed to take some really humorous, amazing pictures of the animals. In his photos they always looked joyful, even the moody bear! So the elephant became the official photographer, and the animals would come from every direction to have some 35 photos taken for their passports to the zoo.

六、阅读单选
A desert(沙漠) is a difficult place for animals to live, and some have unusual ways of making a living. The Texas lizard has a strange way to keep itself safe. When a predator(掠食动物) gets too close, blood goes out from the lizard’s eyes. Then it breathes in much air to make its body look bigger. Another interesting desert animal is the javelina. To make a predator afraid and run away, the javelina bravely faces the animal. It makes a big noise with its teeth. It raises the hard hairs on its back to make itself look bigger. The javelina also gives off a strong smell as a warning when it is afraid. This smell is so strong that javelinas are also called “smelly pigs”. Javelinas keep safe by staying close to their family, so there’s a good chance they can make a predator change its mind!
You might think a rain forest would be easier to live in than a desert. After all, there's plenty of food and water in a rain forest. But that also means a lot of animals live there. Being able to climb trees is a useful skill in the rain forest. It allows an animal to keep away from predators. The sloth spends most of its life in the treetops. Its strong, curved claws(爪子) help it climb and hang upside down from branches. The sloth also moves very slowly. It does this so it’s not noticed. The aye-aye lives only in the rain forest of Madagascar, near Africa. The aye-aye is a night animal. This helps it to stay safe from daytime predators. However, the number of the aye-aye keeps going down and they may die out. People have hunted it because they think it brings bad luck. Also, much of the rain forest in Madagascar has been cut down, which has destroyed the aye-aye’s home. Today there are laws(法律) to keep people from killing it.
36．What is the passage mainly about
A．What the animals in the desert look like.
B．How the animals in the rain forest find their food.
C．How the animals in the desert and in the rain forest stay safe.
D．What animals are in danger of losing their living environment.
37．How does a lizard protect itself when a predator gets too close
A．It climbs trees. B．It makes a big noise.
C．It gives off a strong smell. D．Blood goes out from its eyes.
38．What can we learn from the passage
A．The aye-aye is a welcome animal in Africa.
B．There is no food, no water and no danger in the desert.
C．The lizard and the javelina can make their bodies look bigger to keep safe.
D．It is really dangerous for the sloth to live in the forest no matter where it is.
Wild animals are our friends, but there are fewer and fewer of them. We should try to protect them. The four animals below are now in danger.
Tibetan Antelopes
Tibetan antelopes(藏羚羊) are medium-sized animals. They mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in groups of about 20. They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes. Although people can get the wool without killing the animals, people simply kill them before taking the wool. The number of them is dropping year by year. There are less than 75,000 Tibetan antelopes left in the wild, down from a million 50 years ago.
Golden Monkeys
Golden monkeys are mainly in Sichuan, Gansu, Shanxi province and Shennongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province. Golden monkeys have golden-orange fur. They move around in the daytime, usually in groups of as many as 100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads. They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos. But people are destroying(毁害) the environment where they live, trees and bamboos are disappearing(消失) , so golden monkeys have less and less to eat.
Elephants
Elephants are very big and strong. They are bigger than any other animal on land. They are grey and have long trunks (象鼻) and tusks (长牙). They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell. They can lift heavy things and break down branches with their trunks. Elephants are very friendly towards each other and towards their neighbours. Normally, they live in a group for many years. Young male elephants do not leave the group until they are about 12 years old. Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller because their living areas are used for farming; Also, people hunt them for their tusks.
Wolves
Wolves are not very big. They have grey fur. Wolves have very good eyesight, hearing and smell. Wolves' food is various. They eat animals, insects and snails (蜗牛). They are friendly to each other and never attack people. Wolves are in danger too. They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests. Soon they will have no home or food.

The Crow and the Pitcher
It was a hot day. A crow felt so thirsty that he looked for water everywhere. Finally, he found a pitcher. But there wasn’t much water in it. So his beak couldn’t reach it.
When he wanted to give up，he came up with an idea. He picked up a small stone and dropped it into the pitcher. Then he took another and dropped it in. Gradually, the water rose and he was able to drink the water.
How clever the crow was!
