题目列表(包括答案和解析)

阅读填空。
     In the deserts of North Africa and Saudi Arabia lives the smallest of all foxes with the largest of ears.
This animal is the fennec fox.
     Fennec foxes have ears that are 5 to 6 inches long. That's big for an animal that weighs less than four
pounds. Their ears help shed (去除) body heat. And, as you may have guessed, they also provide great
hearing.
     It's also interesting to think about the hair of fennec foxes. Why would a fox that lives in the desert
need a thick, fur coat? Actually, the desert isn't always warm. During the nighttime, a desert can be
terribly cold! A fennec fox's fur keeps them warm during those desert nights. They also have long bushy
tails that they use as a blanket. And the hair on their feet protects them from the hot sand in the daytime.
     Fennec foxes live in small communities of dens (兽穴).They spend most of the day sleeping in their
dens, out of the hot sun. Then, when night comes, they come out in search of food. In addition to their
great hearing, fennecs also use their great sense of smell and big eyes to track down dinner.
     Like other foxes, fennecs are omnivores. This means they eat both meat and plants. They like eating
birds, eggs, insects, snails, fruit and leaves best.
     Fennec fox mothers have one to five babies at a time. The lifespan of a fennec fox is 10 to 12 years.
The cream coloration of fennec foxes help them blend into their desert habitat. Still, they have to watch
out for predators (捕食性动物). These include caracals ( a type of wild cat ) , jackals, eagle owls,
hyenas and humans. Humans catch them for their fur and to sell as pets.

Should we be afraid of sharks(鲨鱼)? Maybe not. New research into the reasons for shark attacks (攻击) suggests that sharks don’t like the way humans taste! In fact, most people who are attacked by the shark are still alive after receiving only one bite (咬). Why is this?

     There are many opinions to explain why sharks sometimes attack people. One opinion is that sharks are just curious (好奇的). We know that sharks are the strongest animals in their environment, so they are not afraid of anything. Naturally, that means they are curious when they meet something unusual. Because they don’t have hands or feet., the only way they can find out an object is to bite it! It is thought that sharks sometimes bite humans for this reason, and then swim away.

     Scientists also say that sharks would not waste energy trying to eat a human, as we have a lot of bones (骨头). It is hard for a shark to eat us because sharks don’t have hands, and they can’t pull the meat off our bones. Maybe that’s why they only bite us once. Unluckily, one bite from a large shark is serious enough to hurt people greatly!

     Another opinion is that sharks attack humans by mistake. Some sharks may sometimes mistake humans for a seal. An example of this is when a shark  attacks a surfer. A surfer lying on a surfboard looks like a seal when seen from below. Sharks like seals because they have thick fat.

     Whatever the reason for shark attacks on humans, sharks should be afraid of us. Sadly, we kill almost 40 million of them each year.

1.What happens to people attacked by sharks?

A. Most of them because blind.          B. Most of them because of deaf.

C. Most of them died.                  D. Most of them are still alive.

2. How do sharks find out about an unusual object according to the passage?

A. By biting.                         B. By smelling.

C. By touching.                       D. By killing.

3.Which sentence about sharks is true?

A. Sharks pull meat off bones when they eat.

B. Sharks might mistake humans for seals.

C. Sharks like to attack surfers because of their thick fat.

D. One bite from a shark is nothing serious.

4.What would the author write the passage mainly for?

A. To tell surfers to stay away from sharks.

B. To ask people to stop killing sharks.

C. To let us know the reasons for shark attacks on people.

D. To show that humans are much stronger than sharks.

  Today it costs a few cents to buy a comb (梳子) for your hair. But 300 years ago, the comb was costly. It was then an important part of a person's wealth (财富). Records show that pirates(海盗)made it a point to take combs of the people on board any ship they robbed.

  How old are combs? Some combs, made of bone, have been found at the sites(遗址)of early humans. This would place the comb's age at about 9,000 years. Even these combs were made to look pretty. They had shapes of animals carved(雕刻)on them.

  The best combs of all were the ones that were used in church. Some of these combs were covered with gold. For a long time, it was a custom (习俗) in the Greek (希腊的) Church to comb a priest's (牧师)hair before all the people.

  The comb is special to the Japanese. The Japanese women are known for the way they put up their thick, long, black hair. They hold their hair in place with combs. Some Japanese people feel that throwing away a comb will bring bad luck. Also, it is bad luck to pick one up. But a comb received as a parting gift is felt to bring good luck. The comb is supposed to make all the paths(道路)straight. This is because it makes one's hair straight.

  It is not often that we stop to think about the history of things we use all the time. But if we did stop to think for a minute, then we would find that everything has its own history.

1.This passage is mostly about ________.

[  ]

A.the Japanese combs

B.gold-plated combs

C.the history of combs

D.the cost of combs

2.The first paragraph shows that combs ________.

[  ]

A.had different shapes

B.were expensive

C.could be very pretty

D.were interesting

3.A costly comb is one that is ________.

[  ]

A.old
B.cheap
C.expensive
D.unknown

4.The main idea of the passage is that ________.

[  ]

A.throwing away or picking up a comb will bring you bad luck

B.the comb's age is 9, 000 years

C.in its history, the comb went from rare and expensive to common and inexpensive

D.three hundred years ago, the comb was an important part of a person's wealth
