【題目】 Elephants are the largest land animals alive today. African elephants live in family groups called herds (). All of the elephants in the herd take care of each other. The leader of the herd is an old mother elephant. She is the matriarch (族長). A herd may have as few as eight or as many as 100 elephants. The other elephants follow (跟隨) the matriarch because she knows how to keep them safe from coming danger.

Elephants learn by watching and copying other elephants, and also learn from life. Baby elephants stay with their mothers until they are fully grown at about ten years old. Elephants are smart animals with long memories (記憶力). In the dry season, a matriarch can remember where water was found in the past. The herd will follow her there. She can also remember the safest place for baby elephants to cross a fast-moving river.

Other animals don’t usually attack (攻擊) elephants. However, a lion might try to attack a sick elephant or a baby. If this happens, the adult (成年的) elephants circle around the baby elephants. The adults make louder sounds and hit the ground with their trunks (象鼻). The matriarch puts herself between the lion and the herd. She beats her ears out to make herself look even larger. Then she leads her herd and attacks the enemy in a big cloud of dust (灰塵).

1What do you know about the elephant herd?

A.There are not any father elephants in a herd.

B.A herd may have eight to 100 elephants.

C.Only the matriarch of the herd looks after baby elephants.

D.All the elephants in the herd take turns (輪流) to look for water.

2Long memories help elephants to ________.

A.choose their matriarchB.fight against their enemies

C.communicate (交流) with each otherD.find water and cross the river

3Why do the adult elephants circle around their babies?

A.To keep their babies safe.B.To welcome their friends.

C.To attack their enemies.D.To help their babies to learn.

【答案】

1B

2D

3A

【解析】

大象是陸地上體型最大的動物,它們通常過著群居的生活,在象群里互相照顧。這篇短文給我們介紹了關(guān)于大象的一些常識。

1細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段“A herd may have as few as eight or as many as 100 elephants.”可知,一個象群里大象的數(shù)量少的有八頭,多的有100頭。故選B。

2細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段“Elephants are smart animals with long memories (記憶力). In the dry season, a matriarch can remember where water was found in the past. She can also remember the safest place for baby elephants to cross a fast-moving river.”可知,大象有很長的記憶力,這可以幫助它們找到水,還可以幫助小象穿過急流。故選D。

3推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文最后一段“However, a lion might try to attack a sick elephant or a baby. If this happens, the adult (成年的) elephants circle around the baby elephants.”可知,當獅子攻擊生病的大象或小象時,成年大象就會把小象圍起來,這樣做是為了保護小象。故選A。
