They are different animals. A bat has four legs. A bird has only two. Bats have teeth and birds have no. Bats have large ears but bird's ears only holes(洞) in the head. All bats like to eat insects(昆虫). They eat at night and sleep in the daytime. In the evening bats are busy flying and catching insects. Its legs help it to fly. The piece of skin(皮肤)joins them together. It is just like a wing. Some people think bats can't see. In fact it is not true. Bats have eyes, but they cannot see well. Bats have better ears than men have. They can hear things which people can't. They can feel where a thing is. That is why the bats can fly about in the evening. 根据短文内容, 回答下列问题。 1.

Birds sit on eggs and take care of their baby birds from April to June. Because the baby birds are too young to leave the nests, the mothers often leave and come back to the nests during the time to look for food. So it is good to observe birds. When we observe birds, we’d better hide ourselves in a close place to the nest, and it’s better to use binoculars (双筒望远镜).But how to make a bird nest? It’s very easy. If you want to make one, please follow these:a) Each nest must have six boards. Don’t make the boards to slippery.（滑的）b) Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a door. The “door” is from 3 cm to 5 cm. So the bird can fly in or out easily. c) Make sure that the rainwater doesn’t go into the nest. d) One piece of the boards should be easy to open. e) Please don’t forget to colour the nest. 1、判断正(T)误(F)。(1）Birds have babies all year around. ______(2) The writer thinks it easy to make a bird nest. _______(3) We should build a nest for the birds that can protect them from the rain. _______2、选择填空。(1) The most important in observing birds is to ________.

It has a white body, a white head, and a yellow beak. There is a very, very small spot of red at the very end of the beak, underneath. All gulls have very strong wings and they can fly far out to sea. If a gull flies out too far, it will be too tired to fly back to the shore. But it does not get frightened, for it can sit and rest on the waves. A seagull’s wings do not get wet because all its feathers have a kind of oil (油) over them, so that when the water gets on to the feathers it just runs off again. Gulls can even sleep on the waves. The seamen know a lot about seagulls and they never kill them. When the gulls fly a long way out to sea, they say that it means fine weather is coming. When the gulls stay near the shore, they say there will be much wind and rain, and perhaps a storm. The gulls know more about the weather than the seamen do. ( ) 1. The seagull is a kind of ___________________. A. fish B. land-bird C. seabird D. animal( ) 2. Every gull can fly far out to sea because it ________. A. is very light B. has very strong wings5C. always flies high D. is strong enough( ) 3.

A. swim under the sea B. stay under the seaC. rest and sleep on the waves D. jump into the sea( ) 4. The water can’t make the seagull’s feathers wet because the feathers are _______.
