Passage 1
The Sad Story of the Dodo
Are you familiar with the dodo You might have read about it in the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but the dodo was a real bird once. However, you can't see a living dodo now—they died out hundreds of years ago.
Dodos lived on a small island in the Indian Ocean. Before humans arrived, the island was a perfect home for dodos. There was plenty of fruit for them to eat, and there were no dangerous animals. Dodos didn't need to fly because they had no enemies. Over time, their wings became too weak to fly. They walked slowly on the ground and lived a peaceful life.
Everything changed in 1598 when a group of humans landed on the island. The humans wanted to build houses and farms, so they cut down many trees. This destroyed the dodos' habitat. The humans also found that dodos were easy to catch because they were slow and not afraid of people. They hunted dodos for their meat.
What's more, the humans brought pigs, cats and dogs to the island. These animals had never lived on the island before. They ate the dodo eggs whenever they found them. Dodos couldn't protect their eggs from these animals.
As a result of all these things, the number of dodos decreased quickly. By 1681, the last dodo died. Today, we can only see dodo models in museums around the world.
The dodo's story is a warning to us. We must be careful with our actions. Every animal plays an important role in nature. If we keep destroying their habitats or hunting them, more animals will die out. Let's protect animals and make the world a better place for all living things.

Why couldn't dodos fly （ ）
A. They didn't like flying B. They had no wings

When did humans first arrive on the dodo's island （ ）
In 1598 B. In 1681
C. In the 17th century D. We don't know
Which of the following is NOT a reason for the dodo's extinction （ ）
A. Humans cut down trees and destroyed their habitat
B. Humans hunted dodos for meat
C. Dodos didn't like to eat the food on the island

A. We should build more museums for extinct animals

Passage 2
Extinct Animals: Lessons from the Dodo
The dodo is one of the most well-known extinct animals. Its story has taught humans a lot about how our actions affect other living things.
Before humans came to their island home, dodos had no natural enemies. They lived comfortably, eating fruit and walking around slowly. They didn't develop the ability to fly because they didn't need to escape from danger. This made them an easy target for humans later.
When humans arrived, they didn't just hunt dodos. They also changed the island's environment. Cutting down trees meant dodos had fewer places to nest and less food to eat. The animals that humans brought with them, such as pigs and dogs, were another big problem. These animals ate dodo eggs, which meant fewer baby dodos were born.
It took less than 100 years for the entire dodo population to disappear. This shows how quickly a species can become extinct when its environment is destroyed and it is hunted by humans.
The dodo's extinction wasn't just a loss for the bird itself. It also affected the island's ecosystem. For example, some plants on the island depended on dodos to eat their fruits and spread their seeds. Without dodos, these plants also started to disappear.
Today, scientists study the dodo to understand how to protect other animals from becoming extinct. They remind us that every animal is part of a larger system. When one species dies out, it can cause problems for many other species.
We can all learn from the dodo's story. Small actions, like protecting a forest or not hunting wild animals, can make a big difference. We should remember that we share the Earth with many other living things, and it's our responsibility to protect them.
Why didn't dodos develop the ability to fly （ ）
A. They were too heavy
B. They had no natural enemies and didn't need to escape
C. They didn't like flying
D. The island had no space for them to fly
How long did it take for the dodo population to disappear after humans arrived （ ）
A. Less than 50 years B. Less than 100 years
C. More than 200 years D. About 500 years
What effect did the dodo's extinction have on the island's ecosystem （ ）
A. Some plants started to disappear because there were no dodos to spread their seeds
B. The number of pigs and dogs on the island decreased
C. The island became a better place for other birds
D. The island's weather changed
Why do scientists study the dodo （ ）
A. To learn how to make dodo models for museums
B. To understand how to protect other animals from extinction
C. To find out what dodos ate in the past
D. To know how to bring dodos back to life
What is the writer's main message in the passage （ ）
A. The dodo was a unique bird
B. Humans are the only cause of animal extinction
C. We should protect animals and their ecosystems
D. Scientists are working hard to protect animals

Passage 1
The Sad Story of the Dodo
Are you familiar with the dodo You might have read about it in the book Alice's Adventures
in Wonderland, but the dodo was a real bird once. However, you can't see a living dodo
now—they died out hundreds of years ago.
Dodos lived on a small island in the Indian Ocean. Before humans arrived, the island was a
perfect home for dodos. There was plenty of fruit for them to eat, and there were no
dangerous animals. Dodos didn't need to fly because they had no enemies. Over time, their
wings became too weak to fly. They walked slowly on the ground and lived a peaceful life.
Everything changed in 1598 when a group of humans landed on the island. The humans
wanted to build houses and farms, so they cut down many trees. This destroyed the dodos'
habitat. The humans also found that dodos were easy to catch because they were slow and not
afraid of people. They hunted dodos for their meat.
What's more, the humans brought pigs, cats and dogs to the island. These animals had never
lived on the island before. They ate the dodo eggs whenever they found them. Dodos couldn't
protect their eggs from these animals.
As a result of all these things, the number of dodos decreased quickly. By 1681, the last dodo
died. Today, we can only see dodo models in museums around the world.
The dodo's story is a warning to us. We must be careful with our actions. Every animal plays
an important role in nature. If we keep destroying their habitats or hunting them, more
animals will die out. Let's protect animals and make the world a better place for all living
things.

70. What can we learn from the dodo's story （ ）
A. We should build more museums for extinct animals
B. We should protect animals and their habitats
C. All birds that can't fly will die out
D. Humans need to hunt animals for food
Passage 2
Extinct Animals: Lessons from the Dodo
The dodo is one of the most well-known extinct animals. Its story has taught humans a lot
about how our actions affect other living things.
Before humans came to their island home, dodos had no natural enemies. They lived
comfortably, eating fruit and walking around slowly. They didn't develop the ability to fly
because they didn't need to escape from danger. This made them an easy target for humans
later.
21 世纪教育网()

When humans arrived, they didn't just hunt dodos. They also changed the island's
environment. Cutting down trees meant dodos had fewer places to nest and less food to eat.
The animals that humans brought with them, such as pigs and dogs, were another big
problem. These animals ate dodo eggs, which meant fewer baby dodos were born.
It took less than 100 years for the entire dodo population to disappear. This shows how
quickly a species can become extinct when its environment is destroyed and it is hunted by
humans.
The dodo's extinction wasn't just a loss for the bird itself. It also affected the island's
ecosystem. For example, some plants on the island depended on dodos to eat their fruits and
spread their seeds. Without dodos, these plants also started to disappear.
Today, scientists study the dodo to understand how to protect other animals from becoming
extinct. They remind us that every animal is part of a larger system. When one species dies
out, it can cause problems for many other species.
We can all learn from the dodo's story. Small actions, like protecting a forest or not hunting
wild animals, can make a big difference. We should remember that we share the Earth with
many other living things, and it's our responsibility to protect them.
71. Why didn't dodos develop the ability to fly （ ）
A. They were too heavy
B. They had no natural enemies and didn't need to escape
C. They didn't like flying
D. The island had no space for them to fly
72. How long did it take for the dodo population to disappear after humans arrived （ ）
A. Less than 50 years B. Less than 100 years
C. More than 200 years D. About 500 years
73. What effect did the dodo's extinction have on the island's ecosystem （ ）
