【原文】
Last Sunday, we went to see the animals in a special zoo. It stands near a big pond in a small town. The owner of the zoo is an old lady. She collected some pet animals there. She provided these animals with food and a home. In the zoo, we saw a poor dog, and it was dirty and weak. Someone sent it to the zoo yesterday. We also found a thin cat. It lost one of its legs. But it was still brave and tried to walk with the other three legs. We took a lot of food to feed them and helped the old lady clean the ground. Seeing these poor animals, I felt sad. We shouldn’t leave our pets on the street when we don’t like them. We must think of them as our family members.

本文介绍了鸟类的一些有趣事实。
21．细节理解题。根据“Birds have one feature (特点) that t ells them apart from all other animals: feathers (羽毛).”可知，使鸟类区别于其他动物的特征是鸟类的羽毛。故选D。

23．推理判断题。根据“Bird families work together to build nests, and each bird has its own special job.”可知，本段介绍了鸟类如何筑巢。故选C。
24．词句猜测题。根据“Younger birds watch and try to copy what the older ones do. This team work helps them learn the ways to build special nests.”可知，划线词前提到了“年幼的鸟儿通过观察和模仿年长的鸟儿来学习筑巢的方法”，所以这里的“them”指代鸟类。故选A。
25．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了鸟类的一些有趣事实，可以在百科全书中找到这篇文章。故选B。
26．C 27．B 28．D 29．A 30．A
本文主要介绍了蜜蜂经过训练后可以识别数字并有很强的数学能力。
26．细节理解题。根据“Can you say the meaning of ‘zero’ Can you do addition and subtraction (加减法) ”可知，文章是通过问问题的方式开始的。故选C。
27．细节理解题。根据“Some Australian scientists put up different cards with an odd or even number of triangles (三角形). They used the numbers 1 to 10. Then they trained the first group of bees to choose odd numbers and the second group to choose even numbers.”可知，第二组蜜蜂选择偶数，题干中图②有2个三角形，图③有8个三角形，因此图②和图③符合题意。故选B。
28．细节理解题。根据“After some training, they can know the difference between even numbers (ending in 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8) and odd numbers (ending in 1,3,5,7 and 9).”及“In a short time, all the bees knew what odd numbers or even numbers were.”可知，经过训练后，蜜蜂可以知道偶数和奇数之间的区别。故选D。
29．推理判断题。根据“How did the bees learn the numbers so fast … After all, a bee’s brain is about 86,000 times smaller than ours!”及全文可知，蜜蜂的大脑比我们的大脑小约86000倍，但它们却能这么快学会数字，可见它们有超强的数学学习能力。故选A。
30．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了蜜蜂经过训练后可以识别数字并有很强的数学能力，因此我们可以在报纸的“动物世界”部分读到这篇文章。故选A。

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了泰国动物园里的倭河马Moo Deng的可爱外形、生活状态及网红身份，解释人类喜爱它的科学原因，并说明其知名度可能帮助人们关注野生倭河马的濒危现状，助力保护这一物种。
31．细节理解题。根据第一段“Moo Deng lives at Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand.”可知，Moo Deng生活在泰国的绿山野生动物园。故选D。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists say it is because humans are born to like cute babies... These things make baby animals look innocent. That makes people want to protect them.”和第四段“When we see a cute baby, we want to cuddle it. We want to take care of it. This is how people feel when they see Moo Deng.”可知，科学家认为人类天生喜欢可爱的幼崽；人们非常喜爱Moo Deng是因为人们觉得它很可爱，想照顾它。故选D。
33．词句猜测题。根据第三段“He explained that cuteness makes babies hard to ignore.”，结合上文“人类天生喜欢可爱幼崽”及下文“幼崽需要成人照顾”可知，可爱让幼崽难以被“ignore”，结合语境可推断，划线单词“ignore”意为“忽视，不关注”，与“pay no attention to”同义。故选A。
34．细节理解题。根据最后一段“But Moo Deng’s fame might help. People love Moo Deng. Hopefully they will learn to care about all pygmy hippos.”可知，Moo Deng的知名度能让人们因喜爱她而关注所有倭河马，进而助力保护。故选D。
35．主旨大意题。文章先介绍Moo Deng的可爱与网红身份，再解释人类喜爱她的原因，最后落脚到“其知名度可能帮助保护濒危的野生倭河马”，核心是“Moo Deng助力保护同类物种”。故选D。

37．推理判断题。根据“He set off to hunt again.”可知，独眼狼决定再次出猎；根据“Soon, he saw an animal. But as he walked toward it … He had to give up.”可知，独眼狼遇到一只豪猪，然后离开了；根据“He came to the riverside and caught a bird.”可知，独眼狼来到河边，抓到了一只鸟；根据“One-Eye could see a good place to bite it … and carried the dead porcupine back to the cave.”可知，独眼狼把豪猪背回了山洞。正确顺序为②①④③。故选A。
38．词句猜测题。根据“One-Eye entered the cave, but the she-wolf growled at him, and he quickly backed out.”“He got back to the opening of the cave and tried to enter the cave, but the she-wolf growled at him again angrily. She gave birth to five wolf cubs (幼崽). She knew that male (雄性的) wolves sometimes ate their cubs.”可知，母狼对独眼狼愤怒地低吼，不让他进入山洞里。growled意为“低吼”，与shouted angrily意思相近。故选B。
39．细节理解题。根据“One-Eye could see a good place to bite it, but he waited until he was sure the porcupine was dead. Then he picked it up. He quickly ate the bird and carried the dead porcupine back to the cave.”可知，独眼狼最后带了一只死豪猪回山洞。故选D。

A
How much do you know about birds Here are some interesting facts.
How do birds fly
Birds have one feature (特点) that tells them apart from all other animals: feathers (羽毛). These strong feathers, together with their light bodies, allow birds to fly with amazing skills and speed. Their special wings can be used in many different ways to control height and direction. Some birds fly high, while others stay low to the ground.
Why do birds fly south in the winter
Birds move from one place to another for some reasons. Some areas in the world are only comfortable during the warmer months of the year. So when cold weather comes, birds fly to warmer areas. These trips can be as long as thousands of miles. In this way, they can find lots of food.
_____________
Bird families work together to build nests, and each bird has its own special job. Some birds are great at collecting things, while others are good at building. Once they started, every bird followed, and now they have a tradition. Younger birds watch and try to copy what the older ones do. This teamwork helps them learn the ways to build special nests.
21．What feature tells birds from all other animals
A．Light bodies. B．Flying skills. C．Special wings. D．Strong feathers.
22．What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A．Birds fly north in the winter.

Can you say the meaning of “zero” Can you do addition and subtraction (加减法) Most people can. But do you know bees can do these things too A study shows that bees have even greater math abilities. After some training, they can know the difference between even numbers (ending in 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8) and odd numbers (ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9).
Some Australian scientists put up different cards with an odd or even number of triangles (三角形). They used the numbers 1 to 10. Then they trained the first group of bees to choose odd numbers and the second group to choose even numbers. If a bee flew to the right card, it would get sugar water. If it chose the wrong card, it got bitter (苦的) water.
In a short time, all the bees knew what odd numbers or even numbers were. They could fly to the right numbers 80% of the time. After that, the scientists added new cards with the numbers 11 and 12. The bees never saw the numbers in their training before, but they could choose rightly 70% of the time. Surprisingly, the bees even learned odd numbers more quickly than people.
How did the bees learn the numbers so fast Scientists didn’t have a clear idea. But they believe if they find the answer, it will help them build better and faster computers. After all, a bee’s brain is about 86,000 times smaller than ours!
26．How does the writer start the passage
A．By listing facts. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions. D．By using pictures.

B．Bees like bitter water rather than sugar water.
C．After training, bees can learn even numbers more quickly than people.
D．After training, bees can know the difference between even numbers and odd numbers.
29．What can we learn from the last paragraph

Moo Deng is a baby pygmy hippo (河马). It is similar to a large hippo. But a pygmy hippo is much smaller. Moo Deng lives at Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand. She was born in July. Her name means “bouncy pork”. Her cheeks are pink. Her belly jiggles as she runs around her pen (圈；栏；棚). She nibbles on people’s knees. She is also an Internet superstar. Every move she makes is closely watched—whether she’s being sprayed with water, being carried by zookeepers, or simply lying on the ground.
Why is Moo Deng so well-loved Scientists say it is because humans are born to like cute babies, even baby hippos! Many baby animals usually have specific looks. They have big eyes and large foreheads. They have chubby bodies. These things make baby animals look innocent. That makes people want to protect them.
Konrad Lorenz was a zoologist from Austria. He was the first one to think of this idea. He talked about it in 1943. He explained that cuteness makes babies hard to ignore.
This is important for babies. They cannot live on their own. They need adults to look after them. Cuteness touches people’s hearts. When we see a cute baby, we want to cuddle (搂抱) it. We want to take care of it. This is how people feel when they see Moo Deng.
Pygmy hippos are in trouble. People hunt them, and the forests they live in are being cut down. Today, there are only about 2,000 pygmy hippos living in the wild. They might disappear forever. But Moo Deng’s fame might help. People love Moo Deng. Hopefully they will learn to care about all pygmy hippos.
31．We can learn from Paragraph 1 that _________.
A．Moo Deng is a large hippo B．Moo Deng is unfriendly to people
C．People only watch Moo Deng online D．Moo Deng lives at a zoo in Thailand
32．According to the scientists, people love Moo Deng so much because _________.
A．she is a small pig B．she lives in Thailand
C．she is an endangered animal D．they find her cute and want to care for her
33．Which of the following explains the word “ignore” in Paragraph 3
A．Pay no attention to. B．Take good care of.
C．Become friends with. D．Look closely at.
34．Why might Moo Deng’s fame be helpful for other pygmy hippos
A．More people will want to visit the zoo.
B．It will help them become superstars too.
C．It will help people find pygmy hippos in the wild.
D．People might learn to care more about saving pygmy hippos.
35．What is the main idea of this passage
A．People only care about cute babies and animals.
B．Pygmy hippos have big eyes and chubby bodies.
C．Scientists are studying the behavior of baby hippos.
D．The cute pygmy hippo, Moo Deng, may help save her endangered species.

The she-wolf and One-Eye walked for two days. The she-wolf was still searching for something. One-Eye knew what she was looking for. They came to the opening of a cave (洞穴). The she-wolf went inside. One-Eye waited at the mouth of the cave and lay in the sun.
The she-wolf walked deeper into the cave. It was larger inside than at the opening. It was warm and dry. The opening was small enough for her to stop anything dangerous from coming inside. She found what she needed.
One-Eye entered the cave, but the she-wolf growled at him, and he quickly backed out. He was hungry, so he decided to hunt. He found wild animals, but he could not catch them. He got back to the opening of the cave and tried to enter the cave, but the she-wolf growled at him again angrily. She gave birth to five wolf cubs (幼崽). She knew that male (雄性的) wolves sometimes ate their cubs.
One-Eye was not that kind of wolf. He knew he had to find food for his mate and cubs. He set off to hunt again. Soon, he saw an animal. But as he walked toward it, it rolled (卷) itself into a ball. One-Eye knew it was a porcupine (豪猪), an animal with sharp spines (刺). When it was attacked, it shot these spines at its attacker. He had to give up. He came to the riverside and caught a bird. He was hungry and began to eat the bird. He remembered the she-wolf and cubs in the cave and stopped eating. He picked up the dead bird and began to carry it back to the cave.
One-Eye saw the porcupine again. A lynx (山猫) was watching secretly. The lynx was waiting for the right moment to attack the porcupine. The porcupine thought it was safe and began to unroll. When it unrolled, the lynx ran to the porcupine and tried to bite it. The porcupine quickly rolled itself up again and shot sharp spines into the lynx. The lynx jumped into the air in great pain and then ran away quickly.
The porcupine was badly hurt and half rolled up. One-Eye could see a good place to bite it, but he waited until he was sure the porcupine was dead. Then he picked it up. He quickly ate the bird and carried the dead porcupine back to the cave.
The she-wolf let him come in with the food. She knew now that he was not the kind of mate who would eat the cubs. She knew he would take care of her and wolf cubs.
