Module 6 課下能力提升（二十四）.閱讀理解Living in the wild can be hard. Finding food and staying safe arent easy. Each day, animals struggle to survive in their habitats. Not all animals get by on their own. Some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animals. These pairings are called symbiotic (共生的) relationships.In a symbiotic relationship, the animals depend on each other. One animal helps the other meet its needs. Sounds good, right? Not always. Some animals are not very kind to their partners. In some cases, one animal meets its needs but hurts its partner. Take ticks (壁虱) for example. These insects suck blood to live. To get blood, they attach themselves to other kinds of animals. Ticks can pass germs that cause disease instead of helping their hosts.In other relationships, animals dont treat their partners so poorly. Both animals benefit, or get help, from living with the other animal.Small animals called cleaner shrimps have found a way of helping fish at coral reefs. As their name suggests, the shrimps clean the fish. They hang out at what scientists call a cleaning station. A fish stops by. Then a shrimp climbs onto the fish and even steps into the fishs mouth. The shrimp uses its tiny claws to pick stuff off the fishs body. That can include dead skin, tiny pieces of food, and wee creatures that can hurt the fish. The fish gets a nice cleaning. The shrimp enjoys a tasty meal of fish trash.Small birds called plovers are also in the cleaning busi ness. They have big customers, crocodiles. Crocodiles have long snouts (口鼻部) filled with sharp teeth. Cleaning them is tricky. When a crocodile opens its mouth, the plover hops right in. The crocodile does not snap its snout shut. Instead, it lets the plover eat small, harmful animals attached to its teeth. The plover gets an easy meal while the crocodile gets clean teeth.1The text is mainly about _.Athe hard life in the wildBsome dangerous animalsCanimals living togetherDanimals in a symbiotic relationship解析：選D主旨大意題。本文主要介紹了生物界的一種共生現(xiàn)象，也就是說生物之間相互依存、相互幫助。故答案選D項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)C表達(dá)語意不準(zhǔn)確，表達(dá)范圍太廣。2According to the text, in a symbiotic relationship, _.Aanimals depend on each otherBbirds depend on animals for foodCboth sides can get helpDnot all animals treat their partners well解析：選D推理判斷題。由文章第二、三、四段可知，有共生現(xiàn)象的動(dòng)物中，有的是相互得到幫助，而有的是單方面的。故答案為D項(xiàng)。3When plovers hop into crocodiles mouths, they _.Aare really to clean crocodiles teethBare to make crocodiles happyCarent afraid of being eatenDarent happy to clean the crocodiles teeth解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章最后一段可知，plovers 是不擔(dān)心被鱷魚咬傷的，因?yàn)轺{魚是希望 plovers 這樣做的，而對于 plovers 而言，其真正的目的是為了得到自己的食物。故答案為C項(xiàng)。4According to the text, it can be inferred that _.Aliving in the wild can be hardBdifferent animals have different living waysCcrocodiles mainly live on ploversDticks are useful to some animals解析：選B推理判斷題。文章第一段就提到有些動(dòng)物是靠自己去捕捉食物，而文章又舉例講了一些動(dòng)物是靠共生來獲取食物的，也就是說不同的動(dòng)物有不同的方式來生存，所以答案為B項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)A是文章直接敘述的；選項(xiàng)C表達(dá)與原文不一致；選項(xiàng)D是無法推斷出的。.閱讀七選五SOCIALIZING YOUR DOGKeep it fun and enjoyableSocialization shouldnt feel like work because its really just a natural process dogs must go through to enjoy their time with other dogs and humans._1_.
