Last month some thieves stole a valuable teapot

America, but the American police found it. The museum sent Mr. Chan,
a member of the museum staff, to collect the teapot. On the plane back
to Hong Kong, he noticed two men. They were watching him closely.
"Perhaps they're going to steal the teapot again. I must think of a plan,"
he thought.
Mr. Chan's daughter, Amy, met him at the airport in Hong Kong
afterwards. Mr. Chan was carrying two boxes. He gave his daughter the
pink box and said to her in a low voice, "Take this gift box home with
great care." He walked away with the brown one. The two men followed
him.
Amy opened the box at home. She was expecting a pair of sports
shoes, but she just found an old teapot. "This is not a very interesting
gift," said Amy, a bit disappointed."That's all right. Let's make some tea
in it,"said her mother. Then they found a note in the teapot. It said,
"Dear Amy, 6 Love Dad."
The two men kidnapped（绑架）Mr. Chan on his way to the
museum. They opened his box and found a pair of sports shoes
inside."Where's the teapot " the two thieves shouted at the top of their
voice with red faces. "How dare you cheat us We saw you give your
daughter a box at the e with us! We're going to search your
home," one of them said.
When the thieves entered Mr. Chan's flat, it was dark and quiet. All
of a sudden the door closed and the lights went on. The police were
waiting inside.
Amy and her mother came out of the bedroom with the teapot."That
teapot is very valuable," said Mr. Chan. "A long time ago it belonged to
an emperor. He drank tea from it."

素养：思维品质 话题：神奇的动物 难度：中 建议用时：7分钟
[2023广东中考]Some 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.
A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid
getting lost. They can go as far as 110 meters and bring food home.
These ants live in the open desert （沙漠）, so they have nothing to
guide them along the way. It's like someone walking six kilometers
through a dark forest.
Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell
even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some
seabirds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of
their flying area.
Some animals can sense the earth's magnetic field （磁场）, 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 riddle. Scientists have no good answers yet.
However, 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.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了一些动物有不同寻常的辨别方向的能力，
并说明了人类活动对动物的这种能力的影响。
1.Where is this passage most probably from ( )
D
A.A storybook. B.An art magazine.
C.A guidebook. D.A science magazine.
【解析】 文章出处题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了与动物有关的科
学研究发现；再根据文中提及的"Scientific research shows that they are
born with certain unusual abilities for direction"和"Scientists have no
good answers yet"可知，这篇文章最有可能来自一本科学杂志，故选D。
解答文章出处和文体类型题时，应主要从文章的体裁和题材内容来判
断。①报纸（newspaper）上的新闻报道的首段通常为导语，包括人物、
时间、地点或事件等；②杂志（magazine）的话题丰富、具体，语言比较
轻松活泼，科普类杂志通常会有表明实验结果的句子等；③广告
（advertisement）的用词和格式特殊，通常配有较多的图片，内容通常会
涉及产品的特色、价格等；④产品说明（instructions）通常会提到产品的
名称和操作方式；⑤研究报告（report）语言严肃认真，文章往往会有具
体的数据或事实依据等；⑥传记（biography）的特点是历时性强，时间线
索比较明显，往往包含重要事件；⑦科幻小说（science fiction）内容多为
对某些尚未出现或发现的科学说明等进行想象和预测；⑧旅行指南
（travel guide/guidebook）通常会为旅游者提供一些旅游信息；⑨采访
（interview）通常是比较明显的问答类形式；⑩网站（website）内容广泛，
文章中常出现网址链接或click（点击）等字眼。
2.How can a certain kind of ants find their way ( )
B
A.By imagining the way. B.By counting their steps.
C.By bringing food together. D.By walking through a forest.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的"A certain kind of ants, for
example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost"可知，这种蚂蚁通过
数自己的步数来辨认方向，故选B。
3.What does the underlined word "riddle" in Paragraph 4 probably
mean ( )
A
A.Mystery. B.Choice. C.Reason. D.Feeling.
【解析】 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的"Scientists have no good answers
yet"可知，科学家们还没有什么好答案，由此可推知，这个问题还是个未
解之谜，故A项符合题意。
4.What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph ( )
A
A.To help animals. B.To travel at night.
C.To keep city lights on. D.To develop unusual abilities.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容，特别是"one small act of
humans may mean a lot to animals"可推知，作者建议人们帮助动物，故
A项符合题意。
5.What can be the best title for the passage ( )
C
A.Birds' Sense of Light B.Fish's Sense of Smell
C.Animals' Sense of Direction D.Animals' Sense of Magnetic Field
【解析】 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一些动物有不同
寻常的辨别方向的能力，并说明人类活动能影响它们的这种能力，故C项
最适合作本文的标题。
【语篇解构】 阅读文章，补充下面的结构图（每空一词）

多模态语篇·采访
Me: Hello, television viewers! I am Aziza Bellamy, and
thanks for watching. I want to especially thank you, Ms.
Bertha, for agreeing to this interview on live television. It's a
pleasure to meet you, the first-known trans-galactic visitor to
Earth. Now, I understand that you are from a planet called Zadernol
Bertha: Just call me Miss Bertha or Bertha, please, but not "Ms.".
Me: Okay, sorry about that. So, you've been on Earth for about a
week now. What have been your biggest disappointments or challenges
so far
Bertha: It's not the worst planet I've ever been to. Mercury was
much worse. The aliens — oops, I mean humans, have been unkind,
overall. The family I'm staying with, for example, were nice at first. But
now they roll their eyes whenever I open my mouth to say anything.
They're not interested in any of my stories. And I think they may be
trying to avoid me. Worst of all, they make me wash my own dishes
and bathe myself. They're so rude.
Me: Oh, um...wow. That's just...
Bertha: I am used to having high standards when I choose where
to stay, by the way. I have stayed with royalty and presidents on other
planets. And they all adored（崇拜）me and begged me not to leave.
But I gave this human family a chance to stay with me. I mean, really,
they should be grateful that I selected them, of all the people on Earth,
to wash my clothes and cook my meals and entertain（款待）me.
Me: Well, what you're saying is surprising, Bertha. Do you think it's
possible that this family just wants you to pitch in（参与） a little, to
be a good guest
Bertha: It's odd（奇怪的） to me that you're not agreeing with me.
If you were smarter, you'd agree with me. That's another thing. Everyone

me.
Me: You know what, Bertha I'm starting to see why you're so
unhappy here on Earth. You're just a boastful（自夸的），spoiled alien.
