2019-2020年高中英語閱讀理解第四部分動物世界(六)練習(xí)

除了遷徙之外，還有什么辦法應(yīng)對嚴冬？在秋天里早做打算，

寒，儲存大量額外的食物以備冬天食用。在樹洞中，木頭里，

身上長出新的皮毛可以御

巖石下甚至地下找一個掩蔽處

藏了起來就可過冬了，或者干脆來個冬眠吧。

動物和夏眠

動物冬眠不新鮮，還有動物夏眠的？沒錯，冬眠的起因大多是動物耐受不了嚴寒。而夏

眠的原因，則是夏天的干燥與炎熱。類似蚯蚓這類需要保持身體濕潤的動物就迫切地需要夏

眠。這些夏眠的動物有什么特征？它們是怎樣夏眠的？體溫會否與冬眠一樣有所下降？下面

的文章會告訴你答案。

29.HowShouldPeopleProtectAnimals?

人類如何保護動物?

人類如何保護動物？是人為的干預(yù)，

護自己養(yǎng)殖的小雞而捕殺老鷹時，

還是允許它們自由繁衍，適者生存？當(dāng)農(nóng)民為了保

他們發(fā)現(xiàn)，同時以田鼠為主食的老鷹是被消滅了，但田鼠

開始泛濫，吃農(nóng)民的莊稼了。自然界是均衡的，每種力量都構(gòu)成了相互制約的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系，是

一個完整的生物鏈，如果破壞其中的一環(huán)，就有可能適得其反，在這方面，自然規(guī)律給我們

以啟發(fā)。

與動物有關(guān)的英語成語

與動物有關(guān)的成語有多少？英語和漢語雖是兩種不同民族的語言，但有許多相通之處。

我們常說的“亡羊補牢”，“一石二鳥”，“叫的狗不咬人”這些成語，在英語中都能找得

到。下面還是讓我們讀讀這篇文章吧。

駱駝和其他動物不一樣，特別耐饑耐渴。

漠之舟”的美稱。駱駝的駝峰里貯存著脂肪，

人們能騎著駱駝橫穿沙漠，

這些脂肪在駱駝得不到食物的時候，

所以駱駝有著“沙

能夠分解

成駱駝身體所需要的養(yǎng)分，供駱駝生存需要。駱駝能夠連續(xù)四五天不進食，就是靠駝峰里的

脂肪。另外，駱駝的胃里有許多瓶子形狀的小泡泡，那是駱駝貯存水的地方，這些“瓶子”

里的水使駱駝即使幾天不喝水，也不會有生命危險。更重要的是，它對水有極其敏感的嗅覺，

且奔跑速度快，是人們度過沙漠最理想的交通工具。

猴子比別的動物更聰明

人類的祖先就是猿猴，所以，猴子是聰明的動物。它在學(xué)習(xí)、領(lǐng)悟、技能方面勝于其他

動物。它的模仿能力和學(xué)習(xí)速度有明顯的優(yōu)勢，經(jīng)過一段時間的專業(yè)訓(xùn)練后，猴子能夠表演

比較復(fù)雜和有難度的動作。在學(xué)習(xí)與操作方面，猴子確實更勝一籌。

貓和貓打盹

貓打盹的樣子估計是它最可愛的時刻了。而一到夜晚，貓兒打完了盹，就要開始行動了，

所謂“夜貓子”一詞，

里偷閑地打個盹，

就是形容貓兒晝伏夜出、

這樣才能迅速地恢復(fù)精力和體力，

異常活躍的樣子。它的精力哪里來？就是忙

更飽滿地投入到活動中。為了健康和工

19.ThePandaIsChina’sNationalTreasure

國寶熊貓

熊貓黑白相間，腦袋長得像貓，體態(tài)長得像熊，故名。然而科學(xué)家卻稱它為“貓熊”

。

它憨態(tài)可掬的神態(tài)、遲緩慵懶的行動，讓人們頓生愛惜之情。

由于熊貓對生活環(huán)境極端挑剔，

野生大熊貓數(shù)量稀少，中國將熊貓列為國家珍稀保護動物，

受法律保護，并成為國內(nèi)外眾人

皆知的“國寶”。
