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.

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

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

22．________ can jump over 2 m.

A．The Goliath Frog

B．The Common Wood Frog

C．The Poison Frog

D．The Australian Rocket Frog

23．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

You probably know many of the things that you can do with the hundreds of different muscles (肌肉) in your body．But have you ever thought about how the muscles in an animal’s body are different from yours? Do you know an animal’s muscles are used to do the most important things for its life?

Lions are hunters．They depend on their ability to catch other animals．Lions must be fast in order to catch their prey (猎物)．The strong muscles in their back legs allow them to run at speeds of more than 30 miles per hour．They can also jump more than 35 feet．The strong muscles in their front legs help them catch their prey．

Snakes also use their muscles for hunting prey and for movement, but their muscles work in very different ways than lions do．Because snakes do not have any legs, they use their muscles to push against the ground or other objects to move themselves forward．Their muscles also allow them to eat things that seem much too large．For example, snake may eat an egg that is larger than the width of its body．How does this happen? The snake’s strong neck muscles work together to push the egg down the mouth．

The elephant’s long nose has a lot of muscles．Scientists believe that the nose alone has more than 100, 000 muscles! This is because the elephant uses its nose much in the same way．That people use their hands and fingers．Even though the nose is large, it can perform surprisingly tasks．For example, an elephant can pick up a small leaf from the ground．The nose can also be a powerful tool．An elephant can use its nose to pick up a tree by its roots or even to lift a baby elephant

The great muscles of these animals seem pretty unbelievable and shocking．But the muscles in your body work right the way you need them to．After all, it might be fun to be able to jump a distance of 30 feet, but as a human being, there is just not much need for it.

24．The writer starts the passage by ________.

A．telling a story         B．giving an example   C．raising questions     D．comparing the facts

25．According to the passage, we can infer (推断) that ________.

A．an elephant’s nose is strong enough to pick up a tree by its roots

B．the strong muscles in the back legs help lions catch their prey

C．snakes can’t move themselves forward without their muscles

D．muscles in an animal’s body are more useful than a human’s

26．From the passage, we know ________ make(s) the muscles in your body different from an animal’s.

A．the exercise            B．your parents            C．the environment      D．your needs

27．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (P=Paragraph)

C

Here comes 2022, the Year of the Tiger! For Chinese people, the tiger is the king of all the animals．So in Chinese culture, tigers stand for being brave, strong and powerful! That’s why in China, you can see pictures of tigers on the walls of temples（寺庙） and houses．They are to protect these places from bad luck．

In ancient times, some great generals（将军）were called “tiger generals”．Usually, generals would be given a tiger-shaped piece called hufu to send soldiers（士兵）．Tigers also have a place in the lives of Chinese people．Chinese babies often wear tiger hats and shoes which are made in the shape of a tiger’s head．Parents hope their kids will grow to be as strong as little tigers．People make cloth tigers during the Dragon Boat Festival．It is said that the “tigers” could “eat up” the bad animals and keep illness away．In some parts of China, people make tiger-shaped buns（馍）when the new year comes．

Westerners also consider tigers as a symbol of Asia．Singapore, South Korea, China’s Hong Kong and Taiwan were called “The Four Asian Tigers”．In the book Life of Pi, the Canadian writer chose a tiger as the partner for the Indian boy Pi on his adventure（历险）．French fashion brand（品牌）KENZO takes the tiger as its main pattern when it tries to show Eastern elements（元素）．

Tigers are my favorite animals．If you ask my mom, she’ll tell you that my best-loved toy while growing up was my toy tiger, which I still treasure dearly to this day．As a young animal lover, I felt so sad that they were endangered and I wanted to help protect them.

If you want to take a close look at a dolphin (海豚) in its natural habitat (栖息地) , there’s no better place to do it than at Monkey Mia, the only beach in Australia that dolphins visit every day.

The wild dolphins of Monkey Mia started getting used to people in the early 1960s, when local fishermen started throwing them fish．Soon the news of friendly dolphins swimming around Monkey Mia began to spread, and before long the beach became very popular．However, by the 1980s, researchers had noticed a worrying fact — as adult dolphins became more dependent on humans for food, more and more of their babies died．Things got so bad that 90% of the babies failed to grow up．Luckily, the local government started to control dolphin feeding.

Today, only a small number of dolphins visit the Monkey Mia beach every day．And they are only fed a little fish so that they still go out hunting(猎食) and teach their young survival(生存) skills．Visitors can only feed the dolphins when they are allowed．“We only feed them around 10% of their daily food,” said Luke Skinner, a staff member there．“This makes them go and hunt for 90% of their food.”

The dolphins that visit Monkey Mia every morning draw more than 100,000 visitors to the beach each year．Visitors can get close to the dolphins, play with them and learn about them and their habitat.

32．What do we know about Monkey Mia?

A．It is a zoo.

B．It is a beach in Australia.

C．It is named after a fisherman.

D．It is a natural habitat of monkeys.

33．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指的是) ?

A．The dolphins.         B．The fishermen.        C．The monkeys.         D．The researchers.

34．What happened in the 1980s?

A．Lots of adult dolphins began to die.

B．Many dolphins were killed by fishermen.

C．Monkey Mia became too crowded with visitors.

D．More and more baby dolphins failed to grow up.

35．How does the local government protect the dolphins?

A．By protecting their habitat.

B．By controlling dolphin feeding.

C．By teaching them hunting skills.

D．By cutting down the number of visitors.

36．The writer wrote the passage to ________.

A．introduce the best place the dolphins live in

B．advise us to teach baby animals survival skills

C．show the reasons why the visitors can’t feed the dolphins

D．tell us to pay more attention to animals, survival rules
四、阅读填表

Toto was a baby elephant．Her trunk was only one metre long．When she heard her father making a noise, Toto put up her trunk too．The only noise that she could make was very little, like a toy whistle（口哨）．Toto saw her mother pulling leaves from the top of a tree to eat．She tried to reach the lowest branch（树枝）, but she couldn’t．So her father and mother had to help her to break the branch and it fell down to the ground．Toto was happy that she could eat the leaves．

As it was a hot day, some flies（苍蝇）stayed around her eyes．She shook her head, but the flies still stayed there．She saw her mother pulling some grass with her trunk to drive off the flies．Toto found it was very easy and useful．

When the elephant walked to a river, her father would help her have a bath．He put the water in his trunk and poured it onto Toto’s back．She felt very happy and cool．

参考答案

一、单项选择

1．C

【详解】句意：——你昨天为什么不去打篮球？——我的腿出了问题，医生建议我不要运动。

考查非谓语动词。根据“There was something wrong with my leg.”可知，“我”的腿出了问题，所以医生建议“我”不要运动，结合短语advise sb. (not) to do sth.“建议某人（不要）做某事”，此处要用动词不定式的否定式作宾补。故选C。

2．C

【详解】句意：——你为什么随身携带笔记本？——因为我要写下老师在会上说的话。

考查动词短语。turn down调低，拒绝；cut down砍倒；write down写下；slow down减速；根据“what the teacher says at the meeting”可知，是要写下老师的话，故选C。
