communicate，but what about animals? how do they communicate with each other without using language? well，different species use different types of communication.sounds are one of the most common types of communication in animals and the majority of the species use them as the medium to convey messages.bats usually follow sound waves to communicate.all the birds communicate through their chirping(吱喳) and use ultrasound waves.mammals，generally，make use of sounds to give calls to other members of their community.whales are the perfect users of sound waves.they have a whale song，which they repeat after regular intervals.in addition to sounds，facial expressions are also used by animals to communicate.for example，when dogs are angry，they show their teeth barking and raise their ears.on the other hand，when theyre frightened，they pull their ears behind with the mouth open.for another example，when the parent bird brings food for the offspring，the “begging expression” can be observed on its face.next，gestures and body movements are also common in animals.honey bees are the most enthusiastic creatures on the earth because they dance to communicate.some bees dance in the hive so that other bees get signals about the location of the honey comb.in addition，a deer waves its tail to warn others of some danger coming closer.gorillas stick their tongue out to express anger.moreover，many animals communicate with each other through smell.they release pheromones(信息素) to convey messages to other animals.wolves，deer and insects generally，use this type of communication.even amoebas(变形虫) need to communicate and does it by chemical discharge.the animals use this type of communication to attract others for reproduction.therefore，communication is so important that its useful in the process of reproduction.besides the above，animals like chimpanzees express feeling by touching each others hands.a newcomer puts its hand in the mouth of the head monkey to confirm its entry in their community.the head monkey gives the visitor the assurance of safety and goodwill.they even give hugs and kisses to express love.and cats snuggle(偎依) to show affection.36what is the best title for the passage?ahow do animals communicate without any language?bhow does animals communication differ from human communication?cwhy can animals communicate with each other without any language?dwhat are the effects of communication without language on animals life?37when a dog shows its teeth and raises its ear while barking，it must be _.aconveying its fearbwarning its owner of some dangercexpressing its angerdbegging its owner for something38it is known from the passage that _.aa gorilla sometimes sticks its tongue out when its angryball animals use their smell for reproductionca deer waves its tails once it senses dangerda hungry bird baby always shows a begging expression39according to the passage，_.abats are good at using sound wave than birdsbboth monkeys and cats like to show their love by touchingcalmost all animals can communicate by using facial expressiondbees are the animals that are the best at dancing40which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?(paragraph 1；paragraph 2；paragraph 3；paragraph 4；paragraph 5；paragraph 6)课时作业(二十四).1.c考查固定搭配would ratherthan宁愿做而不愿做，故此题答案为c。 2b该题考查句子结构。学生易犯思维定式的错误而选c，其实who finished是定语从句，该处缺谓语动词。3dappreciate后跟v.ing形式作宾语；i dont doubt that“我毫不怀疑”。4a本题考查非谓语动词作状语的用法及其否定形式。因c、d两项没有状语从句的引导词，可先排除。现在分词的否定结构是在其结构前加not。5c考查名词词义辨析。根据接下来的句子可以判断：这个女孩根本没有尊严。6c考查代词。根据语意可知，mrs.smith设法调停了michael与allen两个人之间的争吵，并且没有使他们任何一方的感情受到伤害，因此选择either，指两者中的任何一个。neither 两者都不；none 没有一个，毫无；both 两者都。both不用于否定意义的句子，而either可以。7c考查反意疑问句。按照前肯后否的句式，选c符合语法表达习惯。8c题意为：大卫威胁他的邻居，如果不赔偿损失就报警。threaten to do 表示威胁做某事。主语david和动词“report”是主动关系，因此选c。9c句意为：他们两个还没来得及意识到究竟发生了什么事情，就被猛烈地抛入海里。根据题意选c。10b考查介词词组。句子含义为“在外面工作就意味着大量的日晒，而这会导致皮肤癌。”据此，选in turn“转而”，其他三项中in return“作为报答”；in vain “徒劳”；in demand “需要”。11bbe intended to do sth.旨在做某事，目的是为了做某事。由此结构可判断此处用过去分词作定语。12c考查状语从句的省略。其完整形式为：once (friendship) is lost，d项错在lose缺少宾语。13a考查非谓语动词。adore其后应接动名词作宾语，排除b、c两项；“同意做某事”其正确表达为“approve of doing sth.”，故选a。14b句意：如果她当年履行了自己的诺言，她就会进入耶鲁大学了。look up to(抬头看，尊重)，keep up with(跟上，追上)，come up with(追赶上；想出；提出)，只有live up to(履行，实行)符合题意。15c第一空为后置定语修饰chinese city，chinese city 前面有序数词修饰，故用不定式。第二空同样为后置定语修饰the right，the right to do sth. 做某事的权利。故选c。.16.b由文章最后一段“_american teacher”可知作者已在“美国”教过17年的书。17cworry担忧；idea想法；experience经验。根据“having taught in _ for 17 years”可判断，作者一点也不怀疑自己的能力，故选doubt怀疑。 18aimpress on sb.给某人留下深刻印象。put on穿上，戴上；把放在上面；fix on把固定在上面；leave通常不与on搭配。此处指“使学生深深意识到自己对本民族文学的崇拜”，故选a。19d由常识可知，老师进教室班长喊“起立”，故选d。20apuzzled迷惑的；sure确信的；curious好奇的；worried担心的。作者对中国学生上课前“起立”后，如何让他们坐下感到“困惑”，故选a。21cregain恢复；find发现；return归还；follow跟随。句意为：但尴尬一过去，我很快就恢复平静22bmore更多的；yet仍然；still还。作者确信自己一定能赢得学生的尊敬，甚至赢得他们的钦佩，故选even。23c考查短语固定搭配。写日记用keep diary。24abe replaced by 被所替代。从下文内容可知，读学生日记时，作者的那种成就感被强烈的伤心感所替代。25bnaturally自然地；perhaps或许；fortunately幸运地；reasonably合情合理地。学生认为，老师的第一节课上得不好，“也许”第二节课会好些。26c根据上文中的“our literature teacher didnt teach us anything today”和“how_ they say i didnt teach them anything？”可知“每个学生的日记都表达一个相似的主题”，故选similar“相似的”。27dlaid此处为“安排、设场景”。laybackground表示“以为背景”，此处指作者为上课所做的努力。28a根据语境，此处指作者对中国学生的反映感到意外，should与why，how，who等连用，表示“意外，惊讶”，故选a。29dimmediatel
