Teeth have been a part of animals almost from the beginning of animal life. The first

animals to have teeth were fish. These sea creatures lived millions of years ago. They had many finely pointed teeth for grabbing food from the water. They were distant cousins of today’s sharks.The teeth of animals help them do certain jobs or eat certain kinds of foods. Elephants have two large teeth, called tusks, which they use for digging up plants or for fighting. Lions and tigers have long, sharp teeth for tearing apart other animals. Those of horses and cows are short and flat. They are used for grinding plants.People have three main kinds of teeth. They have teeth that cut, teeth that tear, and teeth that grind. When biting into a piece of fruit, people use their cutting teeth. When pulling a piece of meat from a bone, they use their tearing teeth. When nibbling on a fresh carrot, they use their grinding teeth.Every person grows two sets of teeth. The first set often begins to appear when a baby is about six months old. It lasts until the child is about six years old. Then the baby teeth fall out and the second teeth come in. This second set must last for the rest of a person’s life.It is important for people to take care of their teeth. They must eat the right foods. They should brush their teeth properly. Teeth should be checked twice a year by a dentist.

第4题

Most people do not think of fishes and other sea animals as having voices, and of those wh

o are aware of the fact that many of them can "speak", few understand that these "conversations" have significance. Actually, their talk may be as meaningful as much of our own. For example, some sea animals use their "voices" to locate their food in the ocean expanses (广阔的区域); others use their "voices" to let their fellows know of their locations; and still others, as a means of obtaining mates. Sometimes, "speaking" may even mean the difference between life and death to a sea animal. It appears in some cases that when a predator (食肉动物) approaches, the prey (被捕的动物) depends on no more than the sounds it makes to escape.

Fish sounds are important to man, also. By listening to them, he can learn a great deal about the habits of creatures that make them, the size of the School they form, the patterns of their migrations, and the nature of the environments in which they live. He can also apply this information to the more effective utilization of the listening spots he has set up to detect enemy submarines (潜水艇). A knowledge of fish sounds can avoid confusion and unneeded effort when a "new" sound is picked up and the sound sentry (哨兵) must decide whether or not to call an alarm.

Among the people who know that many sea animals have voices, few ______.

A．know the meaning of their conversations

B．realize that they can communicate with each other

C．realize that they can make speeches

D．could understand their conversations

Language is human speech, either written or spoken.All languages have a system of sou

nds, words, a system of word order, and grammar.Word order is more important in English than in some other languages.The sound system is very important in Chinese and in many African languages.

Language is always changing.The earliest known languages had complicated grammar but a small, limited vocabulary.Over the centuries, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew.For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries gave names to all the new plants and animals they found.In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies.Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast, too.

There are several major language families in the world.Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently.The languages in each family are related, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language.

We learn our own languages by listening and copying.We do this without studying or thinking about it.But learning a foreign language takes a lot of study and practice.

(1).What do all languages in the world have？

A.Complicated vocabularies

D.A system of sounds

(2).What does the earliest known languages have？

根据以下内容回答题:Man has invented ways to keep walqTl，but how do animals defend themselv

es？They can not reason in the sense that a man can，but nature has taken care of the animal kingdom by providing animals with special instincts．One of these instincts is known as hibernation（冬眠）． “Sleeping like a dormouse”is not only a common saying but is a reality．When winter comes，the dormouse and other hibernating animals have reached a well-nourished state．They eat very well in warmer days laying downy fat in the tissues of their bodies and during hiberna- tion this keeps them alive．Safe in their nests，or burrows，they sleep soundly until the warmth of spring arrives． Bats，tortoises，snakes，frogs，even insects like butterflies，hibernate more or less eom-pletely．Some，like the squirrels，sleep during coldest weather but are roused by a waYnl spells．During hibernation，the temperature of an animal’S body drops drastically．Breathing and heart．beats almost cease． Another instinctive method of avoiding intense cold is to escape by means of migration．Wild swans，seagulls，swallows and cuckoos are a few of the very many kinds of birds which fly thousands of miles，twice a year，to avoid cold．Many animals，especially those of the Arctic regions，have summer and winter quarters．The Arctic deer of North America；as well as the reindeer of Europe，move southward towards the forests when winter approaches．They return to the northern area when the warmth of spring begins to be sensed． There are animals which do not attempt to leave at the first sign of winter cold．Their in—stinctive means of defence is to dig out a deep burrow，made soft and waYin by padding out with straw，1eaves，moss and fur．In it they have a“secret place”containing food which they hope will last the winter through!Animals which faU into this clhss include the Arctic fox，the rabbit ana the ermine，and the little field-mice．

How does the dormouse defend itself against cold in winter？

A.It moves about to keep warlTl．

B.It grows thicker fur．

第7题

Now which are the animals really to be pitied in captivity？ First, those clever beings who

se lively urge for activity can find no outlet behind the bars of the cage. This is most conspicuous, even for the uninitiated, in the case of animals which, when living in a free state, are accustomed to roaming about widely. Owing to this frustrated desire, foxes and wolves housed, in many old fashioned zoos, in cages which are far too small, are among the most pitiable of all caged animals.

Though pinioned swans generally seem happy, under proper care, by hatching and rearing their young without any trouble, at migration time things become different: they repeatedly swim to the lee side of the pond, in order to have the whole extent of its surface at their disposal, trying to take off. Again and again the grand preparations end in a pathetic flutter of their half wings; a truly sorry picture!

This, however, rarely awakens the pity of the zoo visitor, least of all when such an originally highly intelligent and mentally alert animal has deteriorated, in confinement, into a crazy idiot, a very caricature of its former self. Sentimental old ladies, the fanatical sponsors of the societies for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, have no compunction in keeping a grey parrot in a relatively small cage or even chained to a perch. Together with the large corvines, the parrots are probably the only birds which suffer from that state of mind, common to prisoners, namely, boredom.

What is an "outlet" in the context of this passage？

A．An opportunity for expression.

B．A place to let.

C．A chance of escape into a wood.

D．An exit for a marketer.
