【題目】（一）閱讀并完成圖表。每空一詞。

Emperor penguins are the largest penguins on Earth. Each adult is over a metre tall, and can weigh up to 40 kilograms.

For many months each year, emperors live near the sea in large groups called colonies. However, in May, the weather gets colder and ice covers large areas of ocean. Each colony moves many kilomtres from the water.

Sharing the work

There, each mother penguin lays just one egg. Then all the hungry mothers must walk back to the ocean to find food. The father penguins put their eggs on top of the feet, under a special piece of skin called the brood pouch. For two months, the father penguins keep the eggs safe and warm. Antarctica. Most animals leave for warmer places, but the father penguins stay. In this time, without food, a father penguin can lose almost half of his weight.

New life

Then the babies begin to hatch! The mother penguin returns just in time to see her baby come out of its egg. The chick is then moved to her brood pouch. This can be difficult. If the chick falls, it can freeze quickly, so the penguin parents must be very careful! Once this is done, the father penguin can go back to the ocean to find food.

Growing up

Over the next few months, penguin parents take turns to go to the ocean for food. They each make the trip several times, bringing back food for the chick. The chick grows quickly and is always hungry.

Into the water

By December, winter is ending. The chick is five months old and can live on its own. Soon it enters the water for the first time. It will swim and eat until next April, and then return here. After a few more years, it, too, will start its own family.

【解析】

本文主要講述了企鵝家族是如何分工合作來孵化并養(yǎng)育小企鵝的。

【1】閱讀短文可知，本文講述了企鵝家庭的成長(zhǎng)過程以及他們的家庭分工。所以本文題目應(yīng)該是A penguin family, 故填family。

【2】根據(jù)第一段Emperor penguins are the largest penguins on Earth.可知帝企鵝是地球上最大的企鵝。故填largest。

【3】根據(jù)第三段There, each mother penguin lays just one egg.在那里，每個(gè)企鵝媽媽會(huì)產(chǎn)一個(gè)蛋，故填egg。

【4】根據(jù)文中For two months, the father penguins keep the eggs safe and warm.可知企鵝爸爸會(huì)細(xì)心照顧企鵝蛋兩個(gè)月，故填two。

【5】根據(jù)The mother penguin returns just in time to see her baby come out of its egg. 企鵝媽媽回來時(shí)正好看到她的孩子從蛋里出來。所以企鵝媽媽是在企鵝孵出來之前回來的，故填before。

【6】根據(jù)文中New life一段中The chick is then moved to her brood pouch.小企鵝被放進(jìn)媽媽的育嬰袋里。故這里填moved。

【7】根據(jù) Growing up一段，小企鵝被放進(jìn)育嬰袋后就會(huì)慢慢長(zhǎng)大，故這里填up。

【8】根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段Over the next few months, penguin parents take turns to go to the ocean for food. They each make the trip several times, bringing back food for the chick. 在接下來的幾個(gè)月里，企鵝的父母輪流去海洋覓食。他們每一個(gè)都要去旅行幾次，為小企鵝帶回食物。所以這里表示輪流“喂養(yǎng)”企鵝，故填feed。

【9】根據(jù)into the water一段中By December, winter is ending. The chick is five months old and can live on its own.小企鵝5個(gè)月大的時(shí)候，就可以自己生活了，故填its。

【10】根據(jù)最后一段After a few more years, it, too, will start its own family. 再過幾年，它也會(huì)建立自己的家庭。故這里填more。
