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 kangar oos 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.

Look at the light and beautiful snowflakes (雪花) falling. Ever wanted to hold them in your hands?

They are always lost when they meet your hands.

Well, this isn’t just a problem for you. It was a problem for Wilson Bentley, too.

In the 1870s, Wilson Bentley was just a teenager. His family lived in a small town in northeast America. Winters there were long and hard. Bentley’s mother was once a school teacher. She taught him at home.Bentley didn’t go to school until he was 14. He was a quiet boy, and loved reading his mother’s books.

But it was his mother’s microscope (显微镜) that interested him. When the other boys were playing

with balls, little Bentley was studying things like drops of water, flowers and snowflakes. Bentley loved watching snowflakes. For the next two years young Bentley spent many winter days in a

cold room watching these ice crystals (晶体) under his microscope.

The boy thought they were so beautiful that he started to draw pictures of them. But there were so many snowflakes that he couldn’t draw them all.

How could he keep their beauty forever? Bentley thought of buying a camera.

The boy and his mother asked his father to buy one. But, his father didn’t agree. He thought the whole thing was a bad idea. He thought the only thing a farmer should do was farming.

But finally Bentley did get a camera. For more than a year he tried to take pictures of snowflakes. On January 15, 1885, during a snowstorm, Bentley took the first ever photo of an ice crystal with his camera. “It was the greatest moment of my life,” Bentley said later.

For 13 years, Bentley worked quietly and took thousands of photos of ice crystals. Later he became known as “Snowflake” Bentley.

If you don’t keep yourself warm enough, winter can be a time of illness.

During the winter months, people easily get colds and flu (流感). Many think they are the same, but these

two illnesses are different.

Colds can stay with you for up to a week. You will have a running nose, sore throat, headache, cough and a fever.

Flu is more serious. You will feel sick very quickly. You will have a fever and a headache. Your body will hurt and become weak. This could last for up to four weeks.

Is there any way to keep yourself away from colds and flu? Staying clear of people with colds or flu may work.

Try not to touch (触摸) your nose or eyes if you have been close to someone who has a cold. Wash

your hands, especially after cleaning your nose.

Going out with wet hair can also give you a cold!

If you catch a cold or flu, go to bed and rest. Doing this will help you get better. Drink lots of water. Stay in a warm, well-aired room. If you have a headache, or your muscles hurt, take some medicine.

Winter is a time for many exciting sports: sledding (雪橇), skating and skiing. Skating and skiing needs lots of skills (技巧). Sledding gives you good exercise and is lots of fun!

A sled looks like a boat. It can move easily over snow or ice. Early sleds were made of wood. Now some better sleds are made of glass.

Sleds can be pulled by animals. In some very cold parts of the world, people make animals like dogs, horses, and reindeer (驯鹿) pull goods or people in sleds.

People also sled for sports and fun. Driving a sled does not need much skill. The driver gives a kick (踢) in the snow to start the sled. He or she can also ask someone else for help. In a sled, there can be one person or several.

Usually, you have to lie on your back, feet first in a sled. As you travel, you move your body and feet to keep it in the right direction (方向).

There is a special sled called the skeleton sled (骨架雪橇). It’s very different.

On a skeleton, you lie on your stomach and drive the sled in a head-first way. It is very fast! Many are afraid to ride it. But once they try it they want to do it again!

阅读短文，回答下列问题：

1.What are sleds made of?

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.

During the cold winter days you may find it hard to wake up in the morning. It’s warm and cozy (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误：

1.Hibernation is a the long and deep sleep of animals in winter.

2.During hibernation, animals don’t breathe at all.

3.Bears eat lots of food before they hibernate in winter.

4.Bears don’t go to the toilet during their hibernation.

5.Frogs hibernate in the Earth under water.

6.Mother bears can’t give birth to babies during hibernation.

7.We can infer that fat is an important food for animals during hibernation.

8.Bears, hedgehogs, chipmunks, pigs and frogs hibernate.

初二英语阅读理解题

初二英语阅读理解精选题(一) My class will put on a short play in English at the end of the year. Yesterday our English teacher gave us copies of the play. “Choose a character in the play whom you’d like to be, ”she told us. “This afternoon learn a few lines of this part for homework. Then tomorrow you can say those lines in front of the class. I’ll decide who play each part.” I wanted to have one of the bigger parts in the play, so I choose the part of the king. He has a lot of lines to say. I learned them by heart. This morning in our English lesson we had to say our lines. I acted the part of the king. When I said my lines, I put a lot of expression into my acting. I thought I acted really well. Everyone in the class read a part and then the teacher who would play each part. Many of the students in my class couldn’t act at all. They couldn’t even read without making lots of mistakes. I was sure that I would get a big part in the play. However, the teacher gave me the part of a soldier. He has only one line. It is, “Yes, sir!” I was very disappointed. At the end of the lesson I went up to her and asked her why I had such a small part. “You put too much expression in your acting,” she said. “Good acting is not big acting. It is acting the audience can believe in.” I think I know what she means. 48. What did the boy want to do in the play? A. To get an important part B. To organize the play C. To get a large acting part. D. To work the lights. 49. How did the boy feel when the teacher told the class they would put on a play? A. Bored. B. Sad. C. Excited. D. Unhappy.

One day, a customer (顾客) did not like the French fries. He said they were cut too thick. That day Crum was in a bad mood, so he cut the potatoes really, really thin and he cooked them for a long time until they were very crispy (酥脆的). He wanted to make the customer dislike them. But the customer loved them very much and asked for more. Other people wanted Crum’s potato chips. Now, there was a new food on the menu—Saratoga chips. Soon Crum opened his own restaurant and made his special chips. It took a long time to make potato chips. People peeled the potatoes by hand. Then in 1920, the automatic (自动的) potato peeler changed everything. Now it was faster and easier to make potato chips. Now potato chips were not a specialty. They were a popular snack food, but only in the north. A salesman named Herman Lay wanted to sell potato chips in the south. He sold potato chips in bags. His business grew.
