None were more funny than Caplin,a capybara(水豚).I bet you are thinking Eww!A giant rat! Actually,it is about the size of a large dog and looks kind of like a pig. The capybara is a native to South America. Capybaras can weigh up to 150 pounds; they have pig-like faces and are covered in brown fur.They are always near the water because they love to eat the grass and other plants that grow by the water. Their name actually means “master of the grass”. Capybaras even sleep in the water. They are able to do this without drowning,because their ears, eyes, and nose are on top of their head so they can hear, see,and breathe while swimming.Caplin was the luckiest capybara ever!He had his own pond and swimming pool and even his own toilet!Plus he got little treats like strawberry yogurt.I think Caplin was so funny because he was a rodent(啮齿目动物),yet he acted like he was part dog and part pig.He would roll around in the mud,then shake his body like a dog and spray(喷出)brown dots on everyone! Sometimes he would walk right up to me and start poking(拨弄)me with his paw, until I gave him a dried cherry treat. That is what my dogs do to me when they want a dog treat.My show takes me on many science adventures to a lot of crazy places and judging by how its going now, the adventures will only get crazier. Who knows what could be the next; I may meet other unusual creatures! You dont have to travel to different countries to explore or find an adventure; you can find amazing stuff in your own neighborhood.【语篇概述】本文作者根据自己的经历介绍了水豚的长相、生活习性以及一只叫 Caplin 的水豚的可爱之处等。1.The capybara is called the “master of the grass” probably because_.A.it enjoys sleeping in the grassB.it lives mainly on the grassC.lots of grass grows near the water- 2 -D.it keeps being covered with the grass【解析】选 B。细节理解题。根据第二段第一句 They are always near the water because they love to eat the grass and other plants that grow by the water.可知,它们喜欢吃草是它们被叫作master of the grass 的原因。2.Caplin will poke the author with his paw when he_.A.wants something to eatB.rolls around in the mudC.wants to play with the dogsD.shows his anger to people around【解析】选 A。细节理解题。根据第三段第六句 Sometimes he would walk right up to me and start poking me with his paw,until I gave him a dried cherry treat.等信息可知,它想吃东西的时候会用爪子拨弄作者。3.We can learn from the last paragraph that the writer_.A.doesnt know what to do in the futureB.advises us to travel to different countriesC.often helps others in the neighborhoodD.thinks highly of his adventures and enjoys them very much【解析】选 D。推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可以推知,作者对自己的旅行评价很高,很享受这些旅行。4.This passage is mainly to_.A.introduce Caplin,a capybaraB.introduce places of interestC.offer some tips for protecting animalsD.show the authors experiences in America【解析】选 A。写作意图题。本文主要介绍了一只叫 Caplin 的水豚的长相、饮食生活及可爱之处等,故 A项符合题意。BAs you grow older,youll befaced with some challenging decisionslike whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough,but when other people get involved and try to pressure you - 3 -one way or another it can be even harder.People who are your age,like your classmates,are called peers.When they try to influence how you act,to get you to do something,its called peer pressure.Peers can have a positive influence on each other.Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book,and now everyones reading it.These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.It is tough to be the only one who says“no” to peer pressure, but you can do it.Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.Youve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely”. Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who dont cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably wont do these things either,even if other kids do.If you continue to face peer pressure and youre finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust.Dont feel guilty if youve made a mistake or two.【语篇概述】现在很多年轻人面临同龄人压力,如何处理来自同龄人的压力呢?本文给青少年提出了很好的建议。5.For whom is the passage most probably written?A.Students.
