任務(wù)型閱讀（共5小題，每小題2分，計(jì)10分）

閱讀短文，并按要求完成下列句子。

We know that many animals do not stay in one place．Birds，fish and other animals move from one place to another place at a certain time．They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily，but others move to get away from places that are too crowded．

When cold weather comes，many birds move to warmer places to find food．Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed．The most famous migration is probably the migration of fish，which is called “salmon”（鮭魚）．This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water．There it spends its life．When it is old，it returns to its birthplace in fresh water．Then it gives birth and dies．In northern Europe，there is a kind of mouse．They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded．They move down to the low land．Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside，and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea．

Recently，scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龍蝦)．Every year，when the season of the bad weather arrives，the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean．Nobody knows why they do this，and nobody knows where they go．So，sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another place，but at other times we don’t．Maybe living things just like to travel．

1.The reason for most of the animals to move is __________________．

2.Find the word in the passage which means “ the movement from one place to another of a large group of animals” and write it down here: __________________．

3.The underlined word “There” in the second paragraph refers to (指的是) ____________．

4.The salmon comes back to its birthplace in order to __________________．

5.The lobsters begin to move to another place when __________________．

 

 

Height is just one of the thousands of features (特征) that your genes (基因) decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then maybe you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall you’re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.
But genes don’t decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential (潛力). Getting enough sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the right height.
No doubt you’re wondering how fast you should grow. There’s no perfect or right answer. Kids grow about 2 inches (5 centimetres) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up).
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimetres here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you’re at now, how you’ve been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.
Don’t be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a very quick growth during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later – between 7 and 13 for girls, 9 and 15 for boys.
You’ll usually begin to notice that you’re growing faster about a year after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.
【小題1】The Chinese for the underlined word in the third paragraph “puberty” is           .

A．童年時(shí)期

B．嬰幼兒時(shí)期

C．習(xí)慣養(yǎng)成期

D．青春期

【小題2】If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow,          .

A．you should have enough exercise

B．you can ask doctors for help

C．you should protect the environment

D．you can record your growth during puberty

【小題3】This passage is mainly about            .

A．how the genes work in your body

B．when is the time you grow fast

C．why you look like your parents

D．how you grow to a certain height

【小題4】After reading this passage, we can explain ___________.   

A．how good it is to be a doctor

B．how much sleep we need

C．why genes can’t decide everything

D．what an unhealthy diet is

【小題5】Which is NOT mentioned (提及) in the passage?

A．Your height most probably depends on (取決于) how tall your parents are.

B．Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys’.

C．The time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed.

D．You may be scared sometimes when you grow too fast.

Children who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who don’t. With the help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills.
“A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.”
George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics, comprehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them.
Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy
—television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joines said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series.
Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being interested in it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents’ job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.
【小題1】According to George, reading aloud to children_______________.

A．helps them correct mistakes
