Question

Animals grow up in different ways. They have lots of lessons to learn.

  Some animals are born helpless but their mothers protect them. A newborn kangaroo is the size of a bee. She stays in her mother’s safe pouch. She doesn’t open her eyes for at least five months. A newborn monkey cannot walk. He is carried by his mother. 

Other baby animals can walk soon after they’re born. They learn to run with their mother when danger is near. A baby zebra（斑马）can run an hour after she is born.

Some baby animals are born in a place that is safe. Other baby animals are born in the open. Baby wolves are born in large holes. A baby elephant is born on open, grassy land. Other elephants make a circle（圈）to protect her.  

Animals that drink their mothers’ milk are called mammals. A mother bear’s milk is fatty and rich. Baby bears need lots of fat to keep warm in winter. They have milk for six months. Baby zebras drink milk for six months or more! As baby animals grow they need solid（固体的）food. Baby lions eat what their mother can catch.

【解析】【主旨大意】本篇短文主要讲述了不同的新出生的动物是如何得到照顾的，以及他们不同的生活方式。

1.细节理解题。原文“She doesn’t open her eyes for at least five months.”是谈论的baby kangaroos。

2.细节理解题。根据句子“A baby zebra（斑马）can run an hour after she is born.”我们可知小斑马在出生一小时后不能跑。故选C。

3.细节理解题。由“Baby wolves are born in large holes.”可以判断A所述错误；B是错误的，由“Baby lions eat what their mother can catch.”可以判断B所述错误；由“A newborn monkey cannot walk. He is carried by his mother.”可以判断C所述错误；由“Baby bears need lots of fat to keep warm in winter.”可以判断D所述正确。
