Unit 2
Task 1
【原文】
1) They live in Africa and India. They have four legs and a tail. They are very big and very strong. They are intelligent, too. They have a trunk and some of them have tusks. They sometimes live for 70 years.
2) They live in Africa and Asia. They are brown. They have arms and legs, but they don‟t have a tail. Their arms are very long and they have big ears. They are good climbers. They are very intelligent, too.
3) They live in Africa. They are very tall. They have four legs, a tail and a very long neck. They eat leaves and twigs. They can run very fast. They are brown and white.
4) They live in very cold countries. They have wings, but they can‟t fly. They are good swimmers. They eat fish. They are blue and white or black and white.
5) They live in Australia. They are red or gray. They have short front legs, long back legs and a very long tail. The back legs and the tail are very strong. They can run very fast. The female carry their young in a pouch.
6) They live in Africa. They have four legs and a tail. They have a beautiful coat with black and white or brown and white stripes. They eat grass and plants.

Task 2
【原文】
The fastest animal on land is the cheetah. It can run at a speed of about 100 kilometres an hour. The fastest bird in the world can fly at 170 km/h, and the fastest fish can swim at more than 100 km/h.
Human beings are not very fast. The fastest man in the world can only run at about 40 km/h.
Many animals can run faster than this. But most animals run on four legs. Four legs are better than two, aren‟t they? Why do we only have two legs?
Scientists say that we are more intelligent than other animals because we stand on two legs, so we can use our hands for other things. We can pick things up with them. We can use tools. Human beings have used tools for millions of years. That is why our brains have developed. That is why we have become the most intelligent animals in the world.
In the past few years, we have made all kinds of machines. We have made cars, ships, aeroplanes and spacecraft. In these machines we can travel faster than any animal—by land, by sea, or by air. We can even go to the moon. No other animal has ever done that!
Task 3
【原文】
A: You know, we‟re studying dinosaurs in science class. It‟s really interesting.
B: Oh, yeah? Hey, have you learned why the dinosaurs disappeared?
A: Well, no one knows for sure.
B: I thought it had something to do with the climate. The temperature might have gotten cooler and killed them off.
A: Yeah, that‟s one theory. Another idea is that they may have run out of food.
B: Uh-huh. And you know, there‟s even a theory that they could have been destroyed by aliensfrom outer space.
A: That sounds crazy to me!
