- 试题详情及答案解析
- The giraffe is the tallest modern land animal. It can be over 5. 5 meters tall. Its neck alone may be 1. 9 meters long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones in its neck, the same number as in the humans’. Even a small bird has more bones in its neck than a tall giraffe. Each bone in a giraffe’s neck is very long, while the bones in a human’s (人的)neck are______. That makes the difference. A female giraffe gives birth to one baby at a time. The baby, called a calf, is about 1. 9 meters 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 high leaves on the trees.

【小题5】The neck of the giraffe alone is 1. 9 meters long. (判断正误T or F)- 答案：【小题1】more than
【小题2】short
【小题3】by the age of“到……的时候”，full-grown“发育完全”。故此句的意思是：到它（长颈鹿）八岁的时候，就已经发育（生长）完全了。
【小题4】Because they have long necks.
【小题5】T - 试题分析：本文介绍了长颈鹿的长脖子。长颈鹿的脖子可能是1.9米长，它的脖子和人类的脖子一样有七块骨骼组成，但是它脖子的每块骨骼比人的长。
【小题1】因为over="more" than“多于，超过”，故此处为more than。
【小题2】根据Each bone in a giraffe’s neck is very long,可知长颈鹿脖子上的每块骨头都长，此处用while表示转折，因此是说人的脖子上的骨头短，故此处为short。
【小题3】到它（长颈鹿）八岁的时候，就已经发育（生长）完全了。
【小题4】根据Because it has a long neck, it can reach the high leaves on the trees.可知因为长颈鹿有长脖子，它能够得着树上很高的树叶。故此处为Because they have long necks。
【小题5】根据Its neck alone may be 1. 9 meters long.可知长颈鹿的脖子可能是1.9米长，故此处是正确的，故为T。
