题目内容
【题目】Hello! My name is Lisa, and I am a lioness. I live on the open grasslands of Africa with my family. Lions living in a group are called a pride.
My father is strong and powerful. He and his cousin are the leaders of our pride. The other members are my mother, her sisters, and their children.
The area where a pride lives is big! We roar (咆哮) to tell each other where we are and to warn strangers to stay away.
Meet my new baby brother. His name is Leon. See the spots on his fur? We lions are born spotted or striped (有条纹的). As we grow older, the spots gradually disappear.
Lionesses usually spend their entire lives with their birth pride, but Leon will leave when he is about three years old. He’ll run around with a male (雄性的) friend or relative for a few years until they take over a pride of their own.
But for now, we have lots of fun together. We often play and fight for hours, which can help us practice skills that we will need for hunting.
We lions keep ourselves very clean. Just like a house cat, I clean my fur (毛) with my tongue. We clean for each other, too, to show we’re friends.
Lions like to sleep for most of the day. We hunt in the cool evening. Female (雌性的) lions hunt more often than male lions. We work together as a team. At the right moment, we attack and kill our prey. Then we share it. Male lions usually eat first. Females eat next. Baby lions are the last to eat. The smallest one gets the least food.
Since we are full, it’s time to go to find a nice place for a sleep. Bye!

本文为科普说明文。本文介绍了狮子的特征和生活习性。母狮子Lisa以第一人称叙述了草原上的狮子群的日常生活。她还介绍了雄狮和母狮子日后不同的生活发展方向。
【1】细节理解题。根据第一段的My name is Lisa, and I am a lioness可知Lisa是一只雌性狮子,所以选择C
【2】词义推测题。根据倒数第二段“prey”所在的句子的上文We hunt in the cool evening. ….. We work together as a team. At the right moment, we attack and kill our prey.可知,狮子在晚上狩猎,狮子是一起狩猎,时机恰当的时候,狮子们一起攻击并杀死猎物。由此很容易猜出“prey”是指“猎物”。所以A正确。
【3】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的句子We clean for each other, too.可知A项正确。根据第六段中的句子We often play and fight for hours, which can help us practice skills that we will need for hunting. 可知B项正确。根据倒数第二段中的句子We hunt in the cool evening. 可知C项正确。根据句子The smallest one gets the least food.可知D项不正确。综合分析可知答案选D。
