Question

【题目】When I was a kid, I was taught that animals knew everything the moment they were born. Today, it’s known that many animals learn important skills from their parents (usually their mothers).

Like humans, the first “food” other baby mammals(哺乳动物) get is their mothers’ milk. After a period of weeks or months, it’s time to eat meat. At first, adult animals like wolves bring back killed animals, so babies can eat easily. As babies grow older, their mothers bring back wounded animals, so the young can improve their killing skills. At last, the young go out with their mothers to watch and take part in the hunt.

Sea lions catch fish and let them go in front of their young. They repeat this many times until the young learn how to catch fish by themselves.

Baby orangutans(猩猩) stay with their mothers for eight years. Mothers teach their young what foods to eat and where to find them depending on the season of the year. There’s a lot to learn because orangutans eat leaves, flowers, different kinds of insects and lots of fruits.

Baby elephants don’t know how to use their trunks(象鼻子) right after birth. At first, they just swing them around and sometimes they even step on them. By watching their mothers, they gradually learn how to use their trunks to feed, bathe and cool themselves.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文介绍小动物们一出生是如何生长的和如何从父母那里学习生存的技能的。

【1】根据文中第二段第一句Like humans, the first “food” other baby mammals(哺乳动物) get is their mothers’ milk.可知，他们出生后靠吃它们妈妈的奶长大。故答案为They eat their mothers’ milk after they are born.

【2】根据文中第四段第一句Baby orangutans(猩猩) stay with their mothers for eight years.可知，小猩猩和母猩猩一起生活八年。故答案为They live with their mother for eight years.

【3】根据文中第三段Sea lions catch fish and let them go in front of their young. They repeat this many times until the young learn how to catch fish by themselves.可知海狮学习抓鱼是通过大海狮在小海狮前面抓鱼，反复多次，让小海狮学会为止。故答案为They catch fish, let them go in front of their young and repeat this many times.

【4】考查语言基础知识。根据对文章的理解翻译句子为：小象出生后不知道怎样使用象鼻子。

【5】考查语篇理解能力。根据文中介绍各种动物从小跟随父母学习如何生存可知，文章大意为Many animals learn important skills from their parents.
