【题目】任务型阅读 阅读短文，完成表格，每空一词。

In the deserts(沙漠)of North Africa and Saudi Arabia lives the smallest fox with the largest ears. This animal is the fennec fox.

Fennec foxes have ears that are 5 to 6 inches long. That’s big for an animal that weighs less than four pounds. Their ears help shed (去除) body heat. And， as you may have guessed， they also provide great hearing.

It’s also interesting to think about the hair of fennec foxes. Why would a fox that lives in the desert need a thick， fur coat? Actually， the desert isn’t always warm. During the nighttime， a desert can be terribly cold! A fennec fox’s fur keeps them warm during those desert nights. They also have long bushy tails that they use as a blanket. And the hair on their feet protects them from the hot sand in the daytime.

Fennec foxes live in small communities of dens (兽穴).They spend most of the day sleeping in their dens， out of the hot sun. Then， when night comes， they come out in search of food. In addition to(除……之外) their great hearing， fennecs also use their great sense of smell and big eyes to track down dinner.

Fennecs eat both meat and plants. They like eating birds， eggs， insects， snails， fruit and leaves best. Fennec fox mothers have one to five babies at a time. Sometimes they are in danger. They have to be careful with predators (捕食性动物)， such as caracals (a type of wild cat) ， jackals， eagle owls， hyenas and humans. Humans catch them for their fur and to sell as pets.

【题目】Would you like to adopt(收养) an animal? Although this sounds very unusual， some children have done just this. The Natural Zoo has given people the chance to adopt animals by paying for all of its food for one year. One of the animals that needed parents was a young tiger named Brocky. The people at the zoo said that it would cost about $900 a year for the food for Brocky.

Not many boys and girls have $900 to spend. That is why several hundred children and grown-ups(成年人) each have sent a little money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food. Some children sent in only a quarter because that was all the money they had. Other children sent in more money than that.

Since so many people sent money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food， he now will be able to eat as much as he wants. Brocky surely must be a happy tiger to know that he has so many adopted parents. Many children must also be happy to know that they have helped to feed him. It really will be thrilling(令人兴奋的) for those children to go to the Natural Zoo to visit their adopted tiger Brocky.

【1】 Brocky is________.

A. an animal zoo

B. an adopted child

C. a tiger without children’s love

D. a tiger in need of adoption

【2】 Several hundred people give money to the zoo to help Brocky because ________.

A. its food is too expensive for one person to afford

B. people don’t want to spend too much money on Brocky

C. people don’t love Brocky enough

D. the zoo forces them to do so

【3】 Children will be ________ if they go to the zoo to visit the tiger Brocky.

A. frightened B. excited and happy

C. nervous D. surprised

【4】With so many people’s money， Brocky now can _________.

A. play with many toys

B. live without being hungry

C. eat meat every day

D. have an air-conditioned room to live in

【5】 We can infer(推断)from the passage that ________.

A. zoos are too poor to feed the animals

B. there are too many animals in the zoo

C. many people are kind to animals

D. children love animals better than adults do
