任务二 [2026江苏扬州期中改编]阅读理解A(10分)
There is almost no water in the desert (沙漠)，but many animals can live in it.How do these animals get water and stay alive？
Everything is hot and dry in the daytime，but the night is cold.Plants often have dew (露水) on them in the early morning.This is because cold air can’t hold as much water as hot air.Small insects can drink the dew，and bigger animals eat the plants with the dew on them.
Some small animals get water from the bodies of insects.Bigger animals get water from the bodies of small animals.This North American bird is called a roadrunner (走鹃).It runs fast and catches small snakes，lizards and scorpions.
Some animals can wait many years for water.When the rain falls，baby shrimps (虾) come out of their eggs.They grow quickly and lay new eggs.Then the water dries up，and the shrimps die.But the new eggs do not die.They wait in the ground for the next rain.They can wait for 50 years.
Most big animals can’t live in the desert because they need a few litres (升) of water every day.They can’t keep water in their bodies for a long time.But camels are different.They can drink 90 litres of water in ten minutes，and then drink nothing for a week.

任务三 [2026浙江杭州期中]阅读理解B(10分)
Swifts (雨燕) live mostly in the air.These small birds are among the fastest animals on Earth.In fact，swifts can go two or three days without touching the ground! To get used to life in the sky，swifts use their speed and the saliva (唾液) in their mouths.
Swifts can fly faster than 100 miles per hour.That’s because their wings are like boomerangs.This shape of the wings helps them to fly much faster.They can also move one wing faster than the other，which allows them to make sharp turns without slowing down.Making fast and sharp turns helps swifts catch flying bugs to eat.
The saliva helps swifts catch bugs to feed their young.　It　 is sticky，like glue.Swifts often fly into clouds of bugs such as mosquitoes and open their wide mouths to catch as many insects as they can.The bird collects insects in its mouth gradually and holds the insects in a sticky ball of saliva.One food ball can contain nearly 1，000 bugs.
Swifts also use their saliva as glue to build their nests.The birds catch feathers in the air and stick the feathers together to build a strong nest on the side of a building.Swifts’ short feet are not good for walking or standing on land for long.But their sharp claws allow them to stick to rocks and walls so they can take a brief rest before returning to their lives in the sky.
(　　)16.The second paragraph mainly talks about 　 　.
A.how fast swifts can fly
B.why swifts can fly and turn so fast
C.why swifts make sharp turns
D.how swifts turn around in the sky
(　　)17.What does the underlined word “It” refer to in Paragraph 3？
A.The glue. B.The swift.
C.The bug. D.The saliva.
(　　)18.Which of the following is TRUE about swifts？
A.Swifts can catch nearly 1，000 bugs in one go with the saliva.
B.Swifts can fly for a long time because of their small bodies.
C.Swifts don’t usually live on land because of their wings.
D.Swifts can’t walk for a long time because of their short feet.
(　　)19.Which of the following is the structure of the passage？
A. B. C. D.
(　　)20.Which of the following is the best title for the passage？
A.The Fastest Speed
B.A Small Pet
C.Life in the Sky

Koalas are one of the most lovely animals in the world. They live in the forests of Australia. They have white fur on their ears and most of their bodies are grey or brown. They look a little fat and mainly feed on leaves. They have special habits，too. They move slowly and sleep more than 18hours a day.
But now koalas are in danger. People’s activities make them lose their homes. Awful weather and big fires also hurt them a lot. We must do something to protect them. We can plant more trees for them and stop cutting down their forests.
Let’s work together to save these lovely animals!
