the zebra cool down.On hot days the black stripes get a lot hotter than the white area of the zebra and under the black stripes there are special layers of fat for protection.Hot air then rises off the black stripes，forcing colder air down around the white areas，cooling the zebra down.This，however，is just a theory.The stripes can also confuse predators (食肉动物) when zebras stay with other animals in great numbers.Zebras have excellent hearing and eyesight and can run at a speed of up to 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour)They also have a powerful kick that can cause serious injury to a predator，like a lion，or an African wild dog.Usually the lead male of the herd stays at the back of the group to defend against predators if necessary，while the females and youngsters run from danger.Zebras are herbivores and feed mostly on grasses，although they also might eat the leaves and stems (茎) of bushes a bit.They eat grasses for many hours each day，using their strong teeth.Spending so much time chewing wears the zebras teeth down，so their teeth keep growing all their lives.As the dry season arrives and the grasses die back，zebra herds travel to find more food and water holes for drinking.Most zebras have no specific territories.They travel from place to place，never staying in one area very long.1What can be inferred from the first paragraph?AThere are different opinions about why the zebra has stripes.BThe black stripes help the zebra live through cold days.CThe zebra can easily be attacked by predators.DThe zebra always travels with other animals.2According to the passage，herbivores are_.Aanimals that have specific territoriesBanimals that only eat plantsCanimals that kill and eat other animalsDanimals that live in groups3The zebra has strong teeth all their lives because their teeth_.Aonly chew soft grassesBare used all dayCare always growingDare kept clean4Which of the following statements about zebras is TRUE?AThey have poor eyesight and hearing.BTheir stripes can confuse predators.CThey can run 56 miles per hour.DThey usually stay in one area all their lives.5Which of the following TV programs might the passage be adapted for?AHobbies & Leisure BEveryday TipsCDigital Stadium DDiscoveriesOne stormy night many years ago，an elderly man and his wife entered the hall of a small hotel in Philadelphia.Trying to get out of the rain，they came the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the night.“Could you possibly give us a room here？” the husband asked.The clerk，a friendly man with a winning smile，looked at the couple and explained that there were three conventions in town.“All of our rooms are taken，” the clerk said.“But I cant send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one oclock in the morning.Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room？Its not exactly a suite，but it will be good enough to make you folks comfortable for the night.”When the couple declined，the young man pressed on.“Dont worry about me；Ill make out just fine.” the clerk told them.So the couple agreed.As he paid his bill the next morning，the elderly man said to the clerk，“You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States.Maybe someday Ill build one for you.” The clerk looked at them and smiled.The three of them had a good laugh.As they drove away，the elderly couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional，as finding people who are both friendly and helpful isnt easy.Two years passed.The clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the old man.It recalled that stormy night and enclosed a roundtrip ticket to New York，asking the young man to pay them a visit.The old man met him in New York，and led him to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th street.He then pointed to a great new building there，a pale reddish stone，with turrets and watchtowers thrusting up to the sky.“That，” said the older man，“is the hotel I have just built for you to manage.” “You must be joking，” the young man said.“I can assure you I am not，”said the older man，a sly smile playing around his mouth.The older mans name was William Waldorf Astor，and that magnificent structure was the original WaldorfAstoria Hotel.The young clerk who became its first manager was George CBoldt.This young clerk never foresaw the turn of events that would lead him to become the manager of one of the worlds most glamorous hotels.6The purpose of the following author writing this story is to_.Agive people a good laughBcover some factsCpromote the business of WaldorfAstoria HotelDdeliver a lesson7Which of the following statements about the story is NOT true ?AThe story took place at about one am.BThe old couple was too poor to afford a luxurious room.CThe clerk was willing to help those in need.DThe clerk received an unexpected invitation from the old man.8The underlined word “conventions” in Para 3.can be replaced by_.Arooms BsuitesCmeetings Dhotels9Which of the following proverbs suits the story the best?AEvery little thing helps.BMake hay while the sun shines.CMan proposes；God disposes (处理，决定)DOne good turn deserves another.短文填词A fort is a strong building with a high wall
