Do you know the differences between African and Asian elephants？African elephants have larger ears，and both male and female African elephants have tusks（象牙）while only male Asian elephants have tusks.
African elephants have very useful trunks！Since they live where it’s always really hot，they get a trunk full of water and spray it on their backs. Then，they do the same thing with dust. The ends of their trunks work like little fingers. They use them to pick berries，grass，and other plants to eat. To drink，African elephants can suck up to two gallons of water in their trunks，then blow it into their mouths. If they sense danger，they use their trunks to make a loud warning sound. They even hug other elephants with their trunks.
Do you know that the closest relative of elephants are manatees（海牛）？They can weigh up to 1，300 pounds and they are good swimmers. If they’re in really shallow water，they use their front flippers（鳍状肢）to walk while they eat sea plants and grasses. Because they are so slow and like warm，shallow water，manatees often get hurt by a part of the boat when the drivers don’t see them.
Manatees are sea mammals like whales and dolphins. They live in water，but they need to breathe air，so they often go to the surface of water. They can stay underwater for up to 15 minutes.
1.From Paragraph 1 we know that＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A. male African elephants have longer tusks than female one
B. African elephants have smaller ears than Asian elephants
C. female Asian elephants don’t have tusks
D. Asian elephants are larger than African elephants
2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？
A. The way African elephants drink and eat.
B. How African elephants use their trunks for protection
C. The shape of African elephants’ trunks.
D. The use of African elephants’ trunks.
3.Why do manatees often go to the surface of water？
A. Because they can stay underwater for only 5 minutes.
B. Because they want to watch out for danger.
C. Because they need to breathe air.
D. Because they want to look for food.

科目：高中英语 来源：山东省2017届高三4月“圆梦之旅”（九）英语试卷 题型：阅读理解
Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.
Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?
To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines(学科). Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development, and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.
On the whole, Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attempt to translate his tale into science.
1.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to __________.
A. illustrate where science can be applied
B. demonstrate the value of Brooks’s new book
C. remind the reader of the importance of science
D. explain why many writers use science in their works
2.According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?
A. Its strong basis. B. Its convincing points.
C. Its clear writing. D. Its memorable characters.
3.What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?
A. Contradictory. B. Supportive.
C. Cautious. D. Critical.
4.What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?
A. Problems with the book. B. Brooks’s life experiences.
C. Death of the characters. D. Brooks’s translation skills.
