牛津版(深圳·广州)初中英语九年级上册期末测试卷(一)
Imagine you are in Africa. Suddenly, a group of spots run past you fast. What is it? It may be a cheetah (猎豹), the fastest animal on land. It can run up to 70 miles an hour. It is faster than most cars travelling on the highway. Although the cheetah can run fast, it uses its energy quickly and becomes tired. If a cheetah can't hunt (猎取) its dinner in a hurry, it will have to rest for a while before trying again.
A cheetah is also a great hunter because its good eyesight helps it find its prey (被捕食的动物) easily. A cheetah's coat is also very useful. The coat is tan (棕褐色的) with black spots. This coat helps a cheetah to blend in (融入) with the tall, brown grass in Africa. Other animals don't see it hide, so a cheetah can easily catch rabbits, birds, and other animals.
Today cheetahs are facing great danger. Parts of Africa are turned into farms, This change makes cheetahs and other animals have to find new places to live in, but that is not very easy. Other animals such as lions and hyenas also hunt cheetahs. However, zookeepers and wildlife experts are trying to save cheetahs. Maybe with their help, the number of cheetahs will grow larger.
When: | Then: | |
Cheetahs use their energy very quickly. | → | Cheetahs stop to rest if they do not catch their prey. |
Lions and hyenas hunt cheetahs | → |
