The ostrich is found in nature in Africa, but it is raised all over the world for its meat.The ostrich is a unique（独特的）looking animal. It has long skinny legs, a big body with small wings, a long neck, and a dangerous long beak（喙）.Even though it has wings, it cant fly. But they arent completely useless either. They help a lot with balance when the ostrich is running at full speed and needs to change directions. The ostrich usually weighs between 200 and 300 pounds and can grow to 9 feet tall. Its large body is covered with feathers.The ostrich is famous for its speed on the ground. Its powerful legs allow it to reach speeds of 40 miles per hour! Ostriches can also use their strong legs to kick any enemy or even kill a human or a lion. However, in most cases the ostrich just use its speed to run away from any danger.Ostriches eat whatever they can find. This includes plants ,insects, and small animals like lizards. They often live in groups. A group will have around ten birds, but some groups even have 100 birds. This way the whole group can help to protect the eggs. Ostrich eggs are the biggest eggs of any animal at an average of 3 pounds.Ostriches dont actually put their head in the ground as many cartoons like to show. What they really do is to lie down and put their head and neck flat on the ground to hide. From a distance all you can see is their body, so it appears as if they have put their head in a hole in the ground. Ostriches can not only kick with powerful feet, they are also armed with 4 inch long claws（爪）on their feet.The OstrichLiving _Be found in nature in Africa and raised all over the worldLooksIt has long legs, a big body with small wings, a long _, and a long beak.Its wins help a lot with balance while running _The ostrich is a big bird that is about 9 feet in_AbilitiesThe ostrich is_To kill hia enemies with its stong legs.Its high speed can help it_any danger.Food and qualitiesThe ostrich lives on a lot of things,_plants ,insects, and small animals.Ostriches live in groups to _Their eggs.Fun factsThe ostrich _itself by lying down and putting their head and neck flat on the groundThe ostrich has powerful _with 4 inch long claws.四、 单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） (共1题；共10分)7. （10分）根据首字母或汉语提示完成句子（1）Tom p_his sisters hair and made her cry（2）The boy p_not to be late for class again（3）It Was a p_that he lost his bike（4）Lets w_them upWe must go at once（5）The clouds in the sky have man
