Question

【題目】The giraffe is the tallest modern land animal. It can be over 5. 5 meters tall. Its neck alone may be 1. 9 meters long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones in its neck, the same number as in the humans’. Even a small bird has many more bones in its neck than a tall giraffe. Each bone in a giraffe’s neck is very long, while the bones in a human’s neck are short. That makes the difference. A female giraffe gives birth to one baby at a time. The baby, called a calf, is about 1. 9 meters tall at birth. By the age of eight it is full-grown. The giraffe eats mostly leaves. Because it has a long neck, it can reach the high leaves on the trees.

【解析】

試題分析：長頸鹿是陸地上最高的動物。它可以高于5.5米。脖子能夠達到1.9米長。但是脖子上只有九塊骨頭，和人是一樣的。甚至小鳥也比長頸鹿脖子上的骨頭要多。長頸鹿脖子上的每塊骨頭都很長。這個使得長頸鹿與眾不同。雌性長頸鹿一次生產(chǎn)一只小長頸鹿，長頸鹿寶寶出生時1.9米高。9歲時完成成長。長頸鹿因為脖子長可以吃更多的葉子。

【1】B詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文中的句子It can be over 5. 5 meters tall. Its neck alone may be 1. 9 meters long.可以判斷是長頸鹿。故選B。

【2】C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子Each bone in a giraffe’s neck is very long, while the bones in a human’s neck are short. 可知選C。

【3】C推理判斷題。A是長頸鹿的脖子有七塊骨頭。B長頸鹿是世界上最高的陸地動物 D根據(jù)文中句子The giraffe eats mostly leaves. Because it has a long neck, it can reach the high leaves on the trees. 可知。

【4】D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中句子The baby, called a calf, is about 1. 9 meters tall at birth. 可知選D

【5】A推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的介紹，長頸鹿是一個食草動物，老虎是食肉動物。所以推測看到老虎會跑。故選A。
