语篇理解
【知识背景】
鸽子，一种常见的鸟类，以其独特的习性著称。它们喜爱群居，常常在天空中翱翔，或在城市的屋顶、广场上悠然自得。鸽子以谷物和种子为食，也会觅食昆虫和其他小型生物。它们拥有出色的飞行能力和方向感，能够长途迁徙而不迷失方向。此外，鸽子还具备在复杂环境中寻找食物的技巧，这展现了它们对环境的适应力。鸽子的这些习性使得它们在自然界中独树一帜，成为科学家研究动物迁徙与认知的热门对象。

Now, it is not a small horse._____▲_____ So Patel can't take it to his company. When Patel takes it to the office, it knocks (碰) things off the desks. So Patel has to say goodbye to Digby. Luckily, Digby has a new job. It helps other blind people travel around some places in London.
As we know, a guide dog has only eight years of working life, but a guide horse can live for about 50 years. So a guide horse can be a “lifelong friend” for people.

WCS started in 1895. Its job is to save wild animals and their habitats all over the world. Now, we keep many famous animals both at home and abroad safe. For example, we protect gorillas (大猩猩) in Congo, tigers in India and big sea animals in our beautiful oceans.
Message Board (留言板)

【实战演练】
I am Andy, a Grade 8 student from Sunshine Middle School. I love wild animals, and my favourite wild animals are __________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
tigers. Tigers are big and strong. They have orange fur with dark stripes. They live on small animals.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
However, there are not many tigers in the wild now.People hunt them for their fur or other parts of the body. Also, some people cut down forests to build houses, get wood or make farmland. As a result, there is less and less living space for them.
It's time for us to take action to protect tigers now. We had better stop people from hunting them.

语篇理解
【知识背景】
渡渡鸟是一种已灭绝的 (extinct) 鸟类，它们曾经生活在印度洋的毛里求斯岛。渡渡鸟体型丰满，羽毛柔软，呈灰色或棕色，它们的尾巴上有一缕白色羽毛。尽管体型庞大，但渡渡鸟的翅膀短小，无法飞行，它们善于奔走，性格温顺。渡渡鸟以树木果实为食，雌鸟一次产下一颗卵，由雌鸟和雄鸟共同孵育。然而，由于人类捕杀和外来物种的干扰，渡渡鸟在1681年灭绝，成为除恐龙外最著名的灭绝动物之一。如今，渡渡鸟已成为毛里求斯岛的文化象征，提醒着人们要珍惜和保护自然环境中的生物多样性。
