22、

Many animals migrate—they move over long distances, often at the same time and to the same place each year. They move to places where conditions are better—where the weather is warmer, where there is more food and water, or where their young will be safer. Here are three amazing examples of migration:

One of the largest animal migrations happens on the Serengeti plains in Africa. More than one million wildebeest（牛羚）migrate in a big group. As the seasons change they follow the rain, looking for better grass to eat and water to drink. They stay in one place while the grass and water are good, and then they move on. They return to the same places each year. Thousands of zebras and other animals travel with the wildebeest.

Out of all migrating animals, Arctic terns（北极燕鸥）travel the longest distance. These seabirds lay their eggs and raise their chicks in summer in the north of Europe, Asia and North America. Each year around August, they fly south over the oceans. They spend about five months near Antarctica, while it is warmer there. Then after the southern summer ends, they fly north again. Arctic terns travel more than 70, 000 kilometers in a year!

Salmon（鲑鱼）live most of their lives in the ocean. But when it is time for them to lay their eggs, they return to the rivers where they were born. They move up rivers and streams to find the right place. Scientists think that the fish remember the unique smell of their river, and this is how they find their way. Salmon can swim strongly up hills, and will jump high to get over waterfalls.

【1】From Paragraph 1, one of the reasons why animals migrate is that ________.

A.they like living in the same place each year B.they really need much colder weather

C.they need good places to raise their young D.they don’t need food and water anymore

【2】What does the underlined word “migrate” most probably mean in Chinese?

A.离开 B.迁徙 C.冬眠 D.冒险

【3】According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE about animal migration?

A.Wildebeest migrate in a small group with the changeable seasons.

B.Thousands of zebras and other animals travel with Arctic terns.

C.Arctic terns are able to travel over 60,000 kilometers each year.

D.Salmon will go back to the rivers from the ocean to lay their eggs.

【4】What does scientists think helps salmon find their way as they migrate?

A.The unique smell of the river. B.The sound of the river.

C.The temperature of the river. D.The color of the river.

【5】In which part of a magazine would you most probably read the text?

A.Animals. B.Business. C.Movies. D.Music.

23、   On Saturday morning, every boy in town was happy, except Tom Sawyer. Tom’s aunt said he had to paint the fence (围墙). It was very big! Tom painted a small part and then had a rest. Soon some boys came along and made fun of him. Just then, he had a wonderful idea. He picked up his brush and went back to work.

Ben came happily with an apple in one hand. “I’m going swimming,” said Ben. “Do you want to come? Oh, but you have to work, don’t you?” “Work?” Tom said. “I don’t think that this is work. It’s fun. Does a boy get a chance like this every day?”

Ben thought about this. Tom went on painting. Ben was watching Tom’s every move. He was getting more and more interested. Then he said, “Tom, will you let me do some painting?”

Tom said, “No, Ben, I can’t. You see, Aunt Polly wants it to be done perfectly. I’m the only one that can do it right.”

“Oh, please, Tom,” begged Ben. “I’ll be really careful. I’ll give you my apple.”

“Well, all right, Ben,” said Tom. “But you must be careful.”

He gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart. He sat down under the tree, and started to eat Ben’s apple.

All day, boys passed by and wanted to paint. When Ben got tired, Billy began to paint. He gave Tom a kite. Then Johnny gave him twelve marbles (弹珠), and so on.

25、The undersea world is very beautiful. Now more and more people want to dive (潜水) in the water to find the secrets there. Scuba diving is a new sport today. It can take you into a 【1】 ['wʌndəfl] undersea world.

You will find many strange animals in the sea. Some are as large 【2】 a school bus. Many sea animals give out light in the dark and some have 【3】 [ʃɑːp] teeth.
