中考英語閱讀理解訓(xùn)練The giraffe

　　The giraffe is the tallest modern land animal. It can be over 5.5 metres tall. Its neck alone may be 1.9metres long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones in its neck, the same number as in the human. Even a small bird has many more bones in its neck than in a tall giraffe. Each bone in a giraffe's neck is very long, while the bones in a human neck are small. That makes the difference. A female giraffe gives birth to one baby at a time. The baby, called a calf, is about 1.9 metres tall at birth. By the age of eight it is full-grown. The giraffe eats mostly leaves. Because it has a long neck, it can reach the leaves high up on the trees.

　　(2)giraffe頸骨的數(shù)量和人類頸骨數(shù)量相同，但鳥的頸骨數(shù)量比giraffe頸骨數(shù)量多，所以正確答案為C。

　　(3)這是一題細(xì)讀題，文章中“By the age of eight it is full-grown.”故選C。

　　(4)這也是細(xì)讀題，文章中“The baby, called a calf, is about 1.9 metres tall at birth.”故選D。
