（2022·广东广州·八年级期末）① Zoos are very popular with adults and children. But are zoos actually a

good thing?

Some people ②criticize keeping animals in zoos. In their opinion, animals often suffer a lot for being

enclosed. Even the best zoos can’t provide the environment that animals have in the wild. It’s a pity that the

animals living in the wild are caught, and then kept away from their families. This leads many zoo animals to feel

nervous or sad. What’s worse, some zoo animals may even die earlier than their wild relatives.

However, some people have different ideas. They think zoos can connect people with animals, educate the③

public to protect animals and call on people to save animals as well as their homes. Some zoos offer a safe place

to those animals which have been badly treated. Also, to support international breeding program, zoos have

special programs to produce more young animals, especially for the species (物种) which are in danger of dying

out. In the wild, some of the endangered species have trouble in finding partners and having new baby animals. A

good zoo will provide a safe environment for these species. Moreover, zoos also do research into animal behavior

and how to treat their illnesses.

So, are zoos good or not? It depends on how good the zoo is. It’s sure that zoos have more advantages than④

their harmful effects. But it is understandable that many people don’t agree to enclose animals for any reason.

（2022·重庆·八年级期末）You probably know many of the things that you can do with the hundreds of

different muscles (肌肉) in your body. But have you ever thought about how the muscles in an animal’s body are

different from yours? Do you know an animal’s muscles are used to do the most important things for its life?

Lions are hunters. They depend on their ability to catch other animals. Lions must be fast in order to catch

their prey (猎物). The strong muscles in their back legs allow them to run at speeds of more than 30 miles per

hour. They can also jump more than 35 feet. The strong muscles in their front legs help them catch their prey.

Snakes also use their muscles for hunting prey and for movement, but their muscles work in very different

ways than lions do. Because snakes do not have any legs, they use their muscles to push against the ground or

other objects to move themselves forward. Their muscles also allow them to eat things that seem much too large.

For example, snake may eat an egg that is larger than the width of its body. How does this happen? The snake’s

strong neck muscles work together to push the egg down the mouth.

The elephant’s long nose has a lot of muscles. Scientists believe that the nose alone has more than 100, 000

muscles! This is because the elephant uses its nose much in the same way. That people use their hands and fingers.

Even though the nose is large, it can perform surprisingly tasks. For example, an elephant can pick up a small leaf

from the ground. The nose can also be a powerful tool. An elephant can use its nose to pick up a tree by its roots

or even to lift a baby elephant

The great muscles of these animals seem pretty unbelievable and shocking. But the muscles in your body

work right the way you need them to. After all, it might be fun to be able to jump a distance of 30 feet, but as a

human being, there is just not much need for it.

5．The writer starts the passage by ________.

A．telling a story B．giving an example C．raising questions D．comparing the facts

6．According to the passage, we can infer (推断) that ________.

A．an elephant’s nose is strong enough to pick up a tree by its roots

B．the strong muscles in the back legs help lions catch their prey

C．snakes can’t move themselves forward without their muscles

（2022·安徽芜湖·八年级期末）Can plants eat people? Probably not, but there are many plants that eat

meat. Some of them are big and they can eat small animals. One famous meat eating plant is the Venus flytrap

（捕蝇草）.

The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the

pages of a book, they can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly （苍

蝇）touches one of the hairs, the leaves will close quickly. The fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaves

press the fly until it is dead. Then the plant covers the fly. Slowly the plant eats the fly.

Why do plants do it?

Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor.

It doesn’t have all these important things, but animal meat has a lot of these important things. So some plants eat

meat to get what they need. Let’s hope that some of the bigger plants don’t get the same idea!

9．The Venus flytrap grows in ________.

A．most parts of the world B．some parts of Africa

C．dry parts of the United States D．wet parts of England

10．What will happen if a fly touches one of the hairs in the Venus flytraps leaves?
