A

Frogs are animals that can live both in water and on land. There are more than 5,000 kinds of frogs on the earth. The earliest known frogs lived about 190 million years ago and the frogs today still look the same. Here are some fun things that you might not know about frogs. Enjoy！

The Biggest and the Smallest Frogs

Some frogs can be very big. The biggest kind of frogs is the Goliath Frog in West Africa. Its body can be nearly 30 cm long, about the size of a large cat. The Gold Frog and the Poison Frog are the smallest frogs in the world. They are less than 1 cm long. Though the Poison Frog is very small, it is not weak at all. It is dangerous. Any animal that eats it will die very soon.

The Best Jumpers

Frogs are very good at jumping. They developed jumping legs so that they would not be eaten by other large animals. Using their big strong legs, more frogs can jump over 20 times their own length. The Australian Rocket Frog can even jump over 2 m, which is 50 times its body length (5.5 cm). That might be the reason why frogs are called the best jumpers on the earth.

The Cryogenic Animal

Some frogs like the Common Wood Frog have a special ability to live in very cold places. When the temperature goes down, they become ice frogs. Two thirds of their body water freezes. Their hearts stop, and their breathing stops, too. You may think they are dead, but in fact they are not. Maybe we humans can learn the way that the frogs do for medical purpose.

26．The earliest frogs lived about ________ million years ago.

A．20                         B．30                          C．50                         D．190

27．________ can jump over 2 m.

A．The Goliath Frog

B．The Common Wood Frog

C．The Poison Frog   

D．The Australian Rocket Frog

28．What will happen to a Common Wood Frog at very low temperature?

A．It will die very soon.   

B．It will be an ice frog.

C．It will become dangerous.   

D．It will become very small.

B

It’s a common belief (相信) that fish can’t remember anything for longer than seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that every moment in their lives would be like seeing the world for the first time. But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have much better memories than we used to think.

In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids (丽鱼) to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They took the fish out and then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food.

In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. But there was no clear evidence (证据) until the latest findings.

Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive (生存) in the wild. “If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains (容纳) safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives in danger.” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.

So next time you are watching your pet fish from outside the tank, perhaps you should feel closer to them — they may remember who you are.

29．Why did the researchers carry out the research?

A．To know if fish can find food easily.

B．To find out if fish have better memories.

C．To tell us fish can live for days without water.

D．To show fish can live long without eating things.

30．What does the underlined word “tank” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．A kind of fish food.

B．A kind of hiding place.

C．A container (容器) for holding water.

D．A container for keeping fish.

31．Which is true according to Trevor Hamilton?

A．Fish know where to get food.

B．It’s easy for fish to live in the wild.

C．A good memory can make fish safer in the wild.

D．Fish are often in danger when they look for food.

C

①Swifts live mostly in the air. These small birds are among the fastest animals on Earth. In fact, swifts can go two or three days without touching the ground! To get used to life in the sky, swifts use their speed and the saliva in their mouths.

②Swifts can fly faster than 100 miles per hour. That’s because their wings are like boomerangs. This shape of the wings helps them to fly much faster. They can also move one wing faster than the other, which allows them to make sharp turns without slowing down. Making fast, sharp turns helps swifts catching flying bugs to eat.

③The saliva helps swifts catch bugs to feed their young. It is sticky, like glue. Swifts often fly into clouds of bugs such as mosquitoes and open their wide mouths to catch as many insects as they can. The bird collects insects in its mouth graduallyand holds the insects in a sticky ball of saliva. One food ball can contain nearly 1,000 bugs.

④Swifts also use their saliva as glue to build their nests. The birds catch feathers in the air and stick the feathers together to build a strong nest on the side of a cliffor building. Swifts’ short feet are not good for walking or standing on land for long. But their sharp claws allow them to stick to rocks and walls so they can take a brief rest before returning their lives in the sky.

32．Which of the following best show the structure of the passage?

33．The second paragraph mainly talks about ________.

A．how fast swifts can fly

B．how swifts turn around in the sky

C．why swifts make sharp turns

D．why swifts can fly and turn so fast

34．Which of the following is TRUE about swifts?

A．Swifts don’t usually live on land because of their wings.

B．Swifts can fly for a long time because of their small bodies.

C．Swifts can’t walk for a long time because of their short feet.

D．Swifts can catch nearly 1,000 bugs in one go with the saliva.

35．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A．Life in the Sky       B．A Small Pet       C．The Fastest Speed       D．The Special Saliva
