Australia has a lot of lovely animals. The most famous ones are kangaroos and koalas.
The kangaroo is the symbol of Australia. They have large eyes and ears. They don"t walk, they jump.
They use their strong back legs. They can jump at up to 74 kilometres per hour. They can go over nine
metres in one jump!
Kangaroo mothers have pouches (育儿袋) to carry their babies. The babies stay inside to get milk and
keep warm. Kangaroos are everywhere in Australia. They are on TV, in books and in the shops. The
government even wants to put them on passports (护照).
There are about 20 to 25 million kangaroos in Australia. That"s more than the number of people in the
country! Some kangaroos go hungry because there is not enough to eat. They break into farms for food.
Farmers are very angry with them. To help the farmers, the Australian Government kills some kangaroos
each year.
The koala is another famous Australian animal. They look like bears, and have small eyes and big noses.
They eat leaves from gum trees, where they spend most of their time.
Koalas have a special smell. They use it to mark (标识) their home -"this is my place, you can"t come
in!"
Like kangaroos, a koala baby lives in its mother"s pouch.
But koalas have fewer places to live. There are about 100,000 koalas in Australia. There is a law to keep
them safe. |

| 阅读理解。 | Like many other animals, swallows will fly south when the days turn cold and the leaves from trees
begin to fall. They travel many miles to find a warmer winter. This type of travel is called migration (迁徙).
Birds are animals that like to migrate a lot when it is cold. About 600 out of 9,000 kinds of birds do it.
They leave in autumn and come back during the warm spring months.
Many birds don"t like the cold. They need food, but plants die and insects (昆虫) hide in winter. So,
they"ll only come home the next year, when there will be plenty of food for them to eat.
But the trip is often hard and not safe. Many birds fly in groups and make noises. Cranes (鹤) fly in
groups like the letter V, or in a row. Others travel in pairs or alone.
Some can travel a very long way. They fly between lands. For example, the Arctic tern (北极燕鸥)
can travel 20,100 kilometres. They build a home near the North Pole (北极), go to the Antarctic (南极洲)
in autumn, and then come back in spring.
How do the birds find their way? They look at things like the sun, moon and stars. They never get lost. | 阅读短文，根据短文内容填表（每空不超过三个单词，最后一空为开放性试题，可多于三个单词）：

(舒适的) in your bed.
In winter, many animals like to sleep, too. But their sleeps can be very long and deep. This kind of
sleep is called hibernation (冬眠). During this kind of sleep, their temperatures go down, and hearts beat
(跳动) slowly. They take very small breaths.
Animals can hibernate for part or all of the winter. It"s hard for them to find things to eat. When they
go to sleep, they don"t need much food.
Bears, hedgehogs (刺猬) and chipmunks (花栗鼠) go to sleep in their homes. Frogs and snakes
hibernate, too. Frogs move into the earth under water to keep themselves warm.
Before they go to sleep, they eat a lot to get fat (脂肪). Some also keep food in their homes to eat later.
Bears are the biggest animals that hibernate. They often sleep in caves (山洞).
Bears must eat a lot of things like nuts before going to sleep for a long time. They eat as much as 300
apples (that"s the same as 60 hamburgers) each day for many weeks. They can eat for 20 hours in a day!
Bears can go into a very deep sleep. It can last from three months to half a year. During that time they
do not eat, drink or go to the toilet. A mother bear can give birth to babies during her hibernation.
Other animals sleep less. Sometimes they wake up to eat, or take a walk. Then they go to sleep again. | 根据短文内容判断正(T)误(F)：
