问题 阅读理解与欣赏

       立春过后,大地渐渐从沉睡中苏醒过来。冰雪融化,草木萌发,各种花次第开放。再过两个月,燕子翩然归来。不久,布谷鸟也来了。于是转入炎热的夏季,这是植物孕育果实的时期。到了秋天,果实成熟,植物的叶子渐渐变黄,在秋风中簌簌地落下来。北雁南飞,活跃在田间草际的昆虫也都销声匿迹。到处呈现一片衰草连天的景象,准备迎接风雪载途的寒冬。在地球上温带和亚热带区域里,年年如是,周而复始。

       几千年来,劳动人民注意了草木荣枯、候鸟去来等自然现象同气候的关系,据以安排农事。杏花开了,就好像大自然在传语要赶快耕地;桃花开了,又好像在暗示要赶快种谷子;布谷鸟开始唱歌,劳动人民懂得它在唱什么:“阿公阿婆,割麦插禾。”这样看来,花香鸟语,草长莺飞,都是大自然的语言。

       这些自然现象,我国古代劳动人民称它为物候。物侯知识在我国起源很早。古代流传下来的许多农谚就包含了丰富的物候知识。到了近代,利用物候知识来研究农业生产,已经发展为一门科学,就是物候学。物候学记录植物的生长荣枯,动物的养育往来,如桃花开、燕子来等自然现象,从而了解随着时节推移的气候变化和这种变化对动植物的影响。

1.文中加横线的三个事例说明了什么道理?

   ________________________________________________________________________________________

2.选出下列对文章内容的解说不正确的一项。 [ ]

A.文中划线的“是”是对前文内容的高度概括,指自然现象随季节的更替而变化。

B.文章认为,利用物候知识来研究农业生产的科学就是物候学,这是一种下定义的说明方法。

C.选文用词特别准确,如加点的“次第”一词,强调各种花依次开放,“渐渐”一词强调了植物叶子变黄的过程,去掉了这些词,就会不合常理,

D.选文介绍了许多物候知识,但重点说明的是研究物候学对农业生产的意义。

答案

1.说明了劳动人民根据物候来安排农事的道理。(意思对即可)

2.D

Do you like seahorses? What do you know about them?

The seahorse is actually not a horse but a fish, and much smaller than any regular horse. In general, a seahorse is about an inch long. It is a beautiful fish that likes warm waters, swims upright (直立的), and looks a little like a chess piece.

Seahorses are an unusual kind of animal because the males (雄性) give birth to babies. Mating (交配) takes place in cooler waters on spring and summer nights with a full moon. The females (雌性) put their eggs into the bodies of the males, and the males give birth to baby seahorses.

The seahorse can use each eye separately, which allows it to search for food without moving the rest of its body. Seahorses situate themselves near deep, fast-running channels rich in plankton, a kind of life on which they feed. They can catch food from an inch and a half away. Seahorses can change from gray or black to yellow or purple within seconds to fit in with their surroundings, and in this way escape from most of their enemies.

One of the surprising facts about seahorses for most people is that they are vertebrates (脊椎动物). They can turn and curl freely, and like to swim in pairs connected by their tails. Their tails are powerful, and they can use them to grasp the surrounding seaweed (海藻) to keep themselves from being swept away. So seahorses are usually found in warm water filled with seaweed.

Now that you know all these facts about seahorses, don’t you find them more interesting?
