单元话题阅读回答问题练习
（2022上·江苏南通·八年级统考阶段练习）
There are many kinds of amazing animals in the world. Have you ever watched one of them Canada geese(雁) They can teach us a lesson about teamwork.
In autumn, Canada geese have to fly to the warm south to get away from Canada’s cold winter. When they leave the ground and rise into the air, they fly in no order. Then they quickly form a V shape, with one bird leading the group.
The V shape allows Canada geese to save energy(精力). The head bird moves its wings(翅膀) up and down. The resulting force of the air helps lift the next bird. Each bird will do so until they get to the southern part. The bird at the head of the group has the hardest job. When it gets tired, another bird moves to the front and takes its place(代替它). By sharing this job, the group can travel great distances.
Canada geese flying in a V shape can fly seventy percent farther without having a rest than the birds flying alone.
During the long flying journey, Canada geese communicate with one another. They honk(鸣叫) to encourage the birds up front to keep up the speed. They also cheer one another up while working toward the same destination(目的地).
What have we learned from the lovely Canada geese’s experience and skills Work together! Whether in our personal lives or our jobs, we need the spirit of teamwork!
1．Why do Canada geese fly to the warm south in autumn
2．Do they form a V shape to save energy when they fly
3．What happens when the head bird gets tired
4．How do Canada geese communicate with one another
5．When we are in our personal lives and our jobs, what do we need
（2022上·江苏盐城·八年级校联考阶段练习）People call lions the kings of the animal world. Lions usually live in the wild in Africa and India. Lions in Africa can go without water for up to one month, so they have no trouble if there is no water for a long time.
Without question, lions are also one of the most popular animals in zoos. Almost every zoo around the world has a few lions. It is very easy for people to tell male(雄性) and female(雌性) lions. Lions are the only kind of cat that shows this strong difference between males and females. A male lion has a mane, a large collar of hair around its face. Female do not have manes. Male lions are also larger than females. A male lion usually weighs about 200 kilograms. Both male and female lions have very strong mouths. They can break the backs of animals with one bite. One lion will usually kill between one and twenty animals each year for food.
It is unusual for lions to kill people. However, in 1898 two lions killed and ate over one hundred people in Kenya before an Englishman named P. J. Patterson killed them. Many years later, a 1996 Hollywood movie called The Ghost and the Darkness told this story.

（2022上·江苏扬州·八年级统考期末）Five years ago, when we first moved up to London we found a black cat in our backyard. He couldn’t run fast because he just had three legs. We wanted to feed him, but he cried and ran away from us. The cat was not at all interested in us.

One day I saw him sitting more quietly and when he turned around I saw there was something wrong with one of his eyes. He couldn’t open his right eye. I knew he wouldn’t let me give him some medical treatment. I caught him the next day and took him to a vet. The vet said that his right eye had to be removed and that he also had another serious illness. I paid lots of money for his medical treatment. Since it was winter, I kept the cat inside at home and placed him in a bathroom where he lived under the bathtub for 3 months. Every time I entered the room, he tried to climb the walls to get away from me. But I never stopped showing him how life could be as an indoor cat. I played music every day and I told him my life story over and over again, until one day in spring he was not afraid of me any more and came out from under the bathtub towards me and rubbed his big head on my leg.

（2022上·江苏扬州·八年级统考期末）Time passed. There was plenty of food and no work in the Southland, and White Fang lived fat and happy. Except for Collie, all things went well for him. He learned how to laugh, and how to play at fighting with his master without really biting him. When Scott, his master rode his horse, White Fang went with him. He never got tired, because he ran like a wolf.
Once, when they were out riding, a rabbit frightened the horse, and his master fell and broke his leg. “Home! Go home!” said his master, when he understood he was hurt. White Fang didn’t want to leave him.
“Go on home and tell them what happened to me.” Scott said.
White Fang knew the meaning of “home”, though not the rest of the message. But he went back home. He ran to Scott’s wife and pulled her dress, but it tore and she was afraid and angry. He stood before Scott’s father growling until he told White Fang to lie down. He looked at all their faces. “I think he’s trying to speak,” said Scott’s daughter, Beth. And at that moment he started to bark—something he had never done before. “Something’s happened to Scott,” said his wife.
They were all on their feet now, and White Fang ran out of the house. He looked back at them using his eyes to say: “Follow me.” After this, everyone liked him even more.

Draw a giraffe in your mind. How do you draw your giraffe Does it have a long neck Does it have long legs Is it really tall When people think of giraffes, they think of their long necks. A long neck and four long legs make the giraffe the tallest land animal on earth. A giraffe is 1.8 metres tall when it is born, and some giraffes get up to 6 metres tall when they are all grown up.
But did you know that giraffes also have long tongues (舌头) Have you seen the tongue of a giraffe before
The tongue is black in colour to protect it from sunburn (晒伤). It is about 50 centimetres long. Giraffes only eat plants, and a full grown giraffe can eat 33 kilograms of leaves a day. A giraffe has a very long tongue which can hold and wrap (包裹) around plants. Giraffes use their tongue to eat leaves from some tall trees much like elephants use their trunk. The giraffe’s tongue is a helpful tool for reaching leaves and breaking off branches (树枝).
The tongue is designed for feeding, but it can be used in many different ways. For example, a giraffe can use its long tongue to drive away parasites (寄生虫) from its face. Also, a giraffe’s tongue is long enough to clean its own ears as well!
26．What makes the giraffe the tallest land animal on earth
27．What is this article mainly about

Spas went missing in 2002 and Edwards looked for him every day for three months. She searched all around her town and even wrote letters to some newspapers for help. But she was never able to find him. At the end of the three months, her search stopped.
But someone recently discovered a dirty, thin stray cat in the street and took him into West Flamingo Animal Hospital. The people working in the hospital checked the cat and were sure enough that his name was Spas and he belonged to Linda Edwards!
“An old lady found the cat on Sunday and brought him here. We scanned his microchip （微芯）and we were able to find out his owner. The cat, whose name is Spas, has been missing for 12 years!” said a doctor.
It is a way to recognize pets by scanning their microchips if the stray animals belong to anyone who could be missing them. It also allows animal services to know if the animals have a family waiting for them. Linda was very thankful that she had Spas taken the microchip and was so excited to get him back!
“I have a second chance to play with my cat,” she said. “This would never have happened if there were no microchips.”
