The dodo was a ground nesting (筑巢), flightless bird. An adult dodo could grow to a height of about a meter and weigh between 45 - 50 pounds. The natural habitat of this .kind of bird lay in the forest of Mauritius.

Seed(种子) and fruits that were found in the forest were the main food of the dodo birds. As they could easily get the food they required in the forest, they didn't need to fly. As time went by, they finally lost the ability to fly. It turned out to be a major disadvantage for dodos, as they were left with no ability to protect themselves against human beings' attacks in their natural habitat, which drove this kind of bird to extinction(灭绝).

The extinction of the dodo started in 1505, when Portuguese sailors set their foot on the Island of Mauritius. Before this, the dodo didn't face any danger. People began to hunt them. It was not long before animals, like cats, pigs and monkeys, were also introduced to the island by humans. When ships arrived, the rats on these ships came onto the land. Though these animals were not able to attack huge dodos, it was easy for them to attack dodos' nests on the ground. These animals continued to feed on dodo eggs.

The dodo became a relatively(相对地) rare bird in Mauritius at the beginning of the 17th century, and became extinct in the end. The last reported sighting of a dodo was in 1681.

1. Why did the dodo lose its ability to fly? A Because it liked walking on the ground. B. Because it had no enemies in the forest.

2

C. Because it was too big to fly.

D. Because it didn't need to fly to look for food. 2. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. Humans hunted for dodos for money.

B. Dodos' nesting places were attacked by human beings. C. The dodo became extinct because of human activity.

D. Other animals on the island lived mainly on dodos' meat. 3. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The extinction of the dodo. B. The appearance of the dodo.

C. The actions taken to protect the dodo. D. The punishment for hunting the dodo.

B (2015 .福州模拟)

There are many wetlands（湿地）in China and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng，Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve（自然保护区） is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes (丹顶鹤) in the world，but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.

The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine，too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also stop flood(洪水). But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife. Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.

4. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are in the _______ of China.

A. east B. south C. west D. north 5. Usually the weather in the wetlands is _______.

A. hot B. pleasant C. cold D. dry 6. The World Wetlands Day is on _______.
