Question

【题目】

The crow（乌鸦） is an ordinary bird. It is black all over. Crows are dirty birds because they live on bad food. Crows eat a lot of waste food. In this way they are more useful to us than any other bird. Crows are always hungry. They look for food all day long and in the evening you can see them in large numbers flying back to their homes in the trees.

Crows are much noisier than other birds. A lot of crows often get together on one house and talk. Sometimes they talk together, and sometimes they do it by turns. It is easy to know if they are happy or angry from crows’ sounds. Perhaps crow talk a lot because they are friendly birds. A couple（夫妇） of crows will live together all their lives, and if one of them dies, the other becomes very sad and quiet for the rest of its life and sometimes dies, too.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。介绍了一种普通的鸟—乌鸦。

【1】句意：乌鸦是什么颜色的？

根据第一段中的句子“The crow（乌鸦） is an ordinary bird. It is black all over.”可知it代指the crow，推出乌鸦是黑色的，答案已给出主语，接着写即可，故填They are black.

【2】句意：为什么乌鸦比其他的鸟对我们更有用处？

由第一段第二行可知“Crows eat a lot of waste food. In this way they are more useful to us than any other bird.”乌鸦吃了很多垃圾食物，故答案为Because they eat a lot of waste food.

【3】句意：乌鸦整天整夜的寻找食物吗?

由第一段的“……and in the evening you can see them in large numbers flying back to their homes in the trees.”可知，晚上乌鸦飞回树上的巢穴。故填No，they don’t.

【4】句意：我们怎么知道乌鸦是开心还是不开心？

由第二段中的“It is easy to know if they are happy or angry from crows’ sounds.”可知，通过乌鸦的声音，能判断出它们是开心还是生气。故填From crows’ sounds.

【5】句意：如果乌鸦夫妇其中一个死了，可能会发生什么？

由第二段末尾的句子“……and if one of them dies, the other becomes very sad and quiet for the rest of its life and sometimes dies, too.”如果它们其中一个死了，另一个乌鸦的余生则会变得非常伤心和安静，有时也会死去。故填The other crow may become very sad and quiet for the rest of its life and sometimes dies, too.
