Many people think the dinosaurs(恐龙) were the biggest animals that ever lived. They are wrong. The world’s biggest animal is still living and it lives in the ocean(海洋). It is the blue whale(鲸鱼). Blue whales can be as long as 30 meters and weigh as much as 1,000 kilos. The largest dinosaurs weighed only 500 kilos.

The whale is not only the world’s biggest animal, it is also one of the cleverest. We know that whales can talk with each other, but we do not know what they are saying. Maybe one day we will learn how to talk with whales, and then they will be able to tell us about themselves.

Whales live in the ocean, but they don’t lay eggs like fish do. They are mammals(哺乳动物). They give birth to babies and have milk inside their own bodies to feed them. Humans are also mammals.

Sadly, there are not many kinds of whales left. People have killed them for food and other things for a long time. Now there are laws to stop people killing most kinds of whales. So maybe there will be more of them in years to come.

1.Which picture show the correct size of the largest whale?

A.  B.  C.  D.

2.The underlined word “lay” in the Paragraph 3 means _______ .

A. 放置 B. 躺下 C. 打赌 D. 产卵

3.There are not many kinds of whales left because ___________ .

A. they don’t lay eggs B. people have killed them

It is not easy for people to sail(航海) around the world in quite small boats. Sometimes the weather gets bad. Accidents(事故) can happen easily and quickly.

One family once has an accident. A big fish swims under their boat and bites(咬) holes in it. Sea water comes in and the boat soon goes down. Luckily these people have another small boat--- a lifeboat, so they all get into the lifeboat. They live in the boat for many days. They eat and sleep, and always hope--- At last a ship saves them.

How do people live in a very small lifeboat for a long time? They must be strong in every way. They must have hope, and they must have a strong desire(愿望) to live. People cannot drink sea water. If they drink a lot of sea water, they will quickly die. They must catch rainwater and drink it. They must also catch fish and birds for food. Lifeboats do not often carry cookers. So people cannot cook their food in the lifeboats. Raw(生) fish and birds are not very nice but they are their only food. They must eat raw food, or they will die.

A. food B. beds C. rainwater D. hope

2.One family once has an accident at sea because _________.
