Many of us enjoy watching animals in the world. But do you know what they can teach us？
Geese（雁）， for example， teach a very good lesson about 41 . In the fall， Canada geese fly to the warm south to 42 Canada’s cold winter. They lift off in no order. Yet 43 they form a V shape， with one bird leading the group.
This V shape allows geese to 44 energy. When the front bird moves its wings up and down， the resulting force of the air lifts the next one. This continues down the line. The bird 45 has the hardest job. When it gets 46 ， it moves behind， and another bird moves into the lead. By sharing the role， the group can travel great distances. Geese flying in a V shape can fly 70 percent farther without 47 than birds flying alone.
During the long flying journey， geese communicate with one another. They honk（鸣叫） to 48 the birds up front to keep up the speed. They also cheer each other up 49 working toward a common goal.
What have we learned from the lovely geese’s experience and skills？

MEET OUR ANIMALS
LIONS From： Lions live in the wild in Africa and India. Our lions are African lions from Kenya. Males： We have two adult males and they weigh about 200 kilos. They have long hair called manes around their faces， which protect their necks during fights. Females： Our zoo has four adult females. They weigh about 175 kilos. They don’t have a mane. Young lions： Lions live in family groups called prides（狮群）. Young lions are called cubs. There are six young lions in this pride. Can you tell apart the males and the females？ Feeding： We feed the lions at 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Adult lions eat about 5 kilos of meat a day. Lion keepers must be careful because lions sometimes are dangerous！ More： In the wild， lions can live up to 15 years， while in the zoo they can live up to 20 years.

阅读以上材料，根据其内容判读下列句子正误。正确填A、错误填B。
（ ）51. In Canberra Zoo， visitors can play and even sleep with lions in a natural environment.
（ ）52. In this zoo， adult male lions weigh more than the females.
（ ）53. Manes are important to male lions because they can make them look cool and strong.
（ ）54. The lions in this zoo eat twice and about 35 kilos of meat a week.

Octopuses（章鱼） are famous for their round bodies， big eyes and eight arms. There are many different types of octopuses， but one thing about them is the same： They are good at disguising（伪装） themselves. Octopuses can change their appearance in less than a second！
An octopus can do this in three ways. One is by using colour. An octopus’s skin has special cells. These cells are filled with yellow， brown and red pigments（色素）. When an octopus moves its muscles（肌肉） in a certain way， the cells become large. These cells produce colorful spots and other patterns on the octopus’s skin. The cells can also reflect light. Under blue light， for example， an octopus’s skin will look blue.
An octopus can also change the texture of its skin. When the octopus moves its muscles， its skin can go from smooth（光滑的） to spiky. It might then look like a plant or coral.
Another way an octopus uses is to change its shape. Some octopuses， for example， roll their bodies into balls so they look like rocks. One type of octopus can change its shape to look like other sea animals—especially dangerous ones， such as sea snakes.
Why are octopuses so good at changing their looks？ They have to be. The ocean is not a safe place for them. Because they have no bones in their bodies， octopuses are like large pieces of meat. Many other sea animals want to eat them. To hide from these animals， octopuses have developed this amazing ability.
阅读以上短文，根据其内容回答其后各个小题。
（ ）56.How do octopuses change their looks？
A.By moving their cells in a special way.
B.By learning to act like other sea animals.
C.By changing their colours， textures of skin and shapes.
D.By changing their colours， textures of skin and muscles.
（ ）57.What does the underlined word “spiky” mean in English？
A.Clean. B.Pointed. C.Dirty. D.Colourful.
（ ）58.According to Paragraph 5， why do octopuses change their looks？
A.To find a safe place in the ocean.
B.To cheat and hunt other sea animals.
C.To protect themselves from other sea animals.
D.To get large pieces of meat from other sea animals.
（ ）59.Which statement is TRUE according to this passage？
A.Octopuses can only try to look like plants.
B.It is impossible for octopuses to roll their bodies.
C.Octopuses can change their looks in a short time.
D.Under pink light， an octopus’s skin may look blue.
（ ）60.What is the structure（结构） of this passage？
A.①/②③/④⑤ B.①/②③④/⑤
C.①②③/④/⑤ D.①②/③④/⑤
C
①Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it？ Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.
②In order not to get lost， a certain kind of ants， for example， can count their steps. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert， so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest.
③Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.
④Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field， while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that？ It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.
⑤However， animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example， many birds depend on stars for direction， but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem， we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly， one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.

They have long hair called manes around their faces， which protect their necks during fights. Females： Our zoo has four adult females. They weigh about 175 kilos. They don’t have a mane. Young lions： Lions live in family groups called prides（狮群）. Young lions are called cubs. There are six young lions in this pride. Can you tell apart the males and the females？ Feeding： We feed the lions at 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Adult lions eat about 5 kilos of meat a day. Lion keepers must be careful because lions sometimes are dangerous！ More： In the wild， lions can live up to 15 years， while in the zoo they can live up to 20 years.

Octopuses（章鱼） are famous for their round bodies， big eyes and eight arms. There are many different types of octopuses， but one thing about them is the same： They are good at disguising（伪装） themselves. Octopuses can change their appearance in less than a second！
An octopus can do this in three ways. One is by using colour. An octopus’s skin has special cells. These cells are filled with yellow， brown and red pigments（色素）. When an octopus moves its muscles（肌肉） in a certain way， the cells become large. These cells produce colorful spots and other patterns on the octopus’s skin. The cells can also reflect light. Under blue light， for example， an octopus’s skin will look blue.
An octopus can also change the texture of its skin. When the octopus moves its muscles， its skin can go from smooth（光滑的） to spiky. It might then look like a plant or coral.
Another way an octopus uses is to change its shape. Some octopuses， for example， roll their bodies into balls so they look like rocks. One type of octopus can change its shape to look like other sea animals—especially dangerous ones， such as sea snakes.
Why are octopuses so good at changing their looks？ They have to be. The ocean is not a safe place for them. Because they have no bones in their bodies， octopuses are like large pieces of meat. Many other sea animals want to eat them. To hide from these animals， octopuses have developed this amazing ability.

①Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it？ Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.
②In order not to get lost， a certain kind of ants， for example， can count their steps. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert， so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest.
③Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.
④Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field， while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that？ It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.
⑤However， animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example， many birds depend on stars for direction， but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem， we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly， one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.

Reasons in great danger keep the balance of nature
Ways no hunting（捕猎） stop buying things made out of animals plant more trees
Dear teachers and students，
As the leader of the “Love Nature” club， I want to call on everyone to join us in protecting wildlife.
As we all know， many animals and plants are in great danger. Wildlife plays an important role in nature， so we should protect them and keep the balance of nature. First， we should try our best to call on humans to stop hunting wild animals greatly. Second， we can stop buying goods made out of endangered animals. When the buying stops， the killing will stop， too. Third， we can also take part in some organized activities， such as planting more trees and saving injured animals.
By working together， we can make a difference to nature and create a better future for ourselves. Let us join hands and take action to protect our precious nature.
Thanks for your listening.
