導(dǎo)讀本文介紹了斑馬的生活習(xí)性、生育特點(diǎn)、顏色的變化、睡覺(jué)的姿勢(shì)及防御其他動(dòng)物的方法等。

詳析

1. C 由 like horses 和 do not move as quickly 可知，斑馬不如馬跑得快。

2. A由本段的第一句可知，斑馬屬于群居動(dòng)物。

3. D句意:當(dāng)斑馬出生時(shí)其顏色是棕色的。應(yīng)選when。

4. B本段的第一句提到斑馬是群居動(dòng)物，所以等到斑馬長(zhǎng)到一歲時(shí)，它便可以隨時(shí)離開(kāi)馬群了。

5. D由本段的最后一句可知，斑馬很警覺(jué)，所以它們睡覺(jué)時(shí)是站著的。

6. A由by barking可以判斷出，斑馬會(huì)通過(guò)吠叫制造噪音。

voice指人發(fā)出的“嗓音”；sound指大自然發(fā)出的聲音。

7. C由本段最后三句可知，斑馬耳朵的變化會(huì)表現(xiàn)出它的情感。

8. B由本段最后一句中的afraid可知，此處應(yīng)當(dāng)是處于危險(xiǎn)之中。

9. D由lions可以判斷出，這些攻擊斑馬的一般都是大型貓 科動(dòng)物。

10. A由最后一句可以判斷出，斑馬成員圍成一圈以抵御其 他動(dòng)物的攻擊。

stallion n 種馬 bark v.狀叫

forward v.向前 attack v.攻擊

障礙句分析

When other animals are attacking them,the zebras will make a circle with all their members facing out.

當(dāng)其他動(dòng)物襲 擊它們時(shí)，斑馬成員便面朝外圍成一圈。

本句是一個(gè)含有狀語(yǔ)從句的復(fù)合句。

when other animals are attacking them是時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，主句中的with all their members facing out 是伴隨狀語(yǔ)

I chose some cookies and went to the front counter (柜臺(tái)) to pay. Near the counter I saw some packaged (包裝好的) cookies in a large box. They looked good and were a lot cheaper than the ones I had in my hand,so I took them instead.
