When you look at a giraffe, what do you see? Some people see the characteristics of four animals a leopard's coat, a camel's head and neck, a cow's feet, and a snake for a tongue. Why does the giraffe have so many different characteristics? The giraffe needs all of its characteristics to survive (continue to live).
Giraffes are very tall and have long necks for two reasons. First, they eat from the tops of very tall trees. Second, they need to see over the tops of the trees. They can see danger, like a lion from far away. Then they have time to run away or hide.
The giraffe's coat is also important to its survival. It has brown spots and is ver y thick. The spots help the giraffe hide among the trees. The giraffe's thick coat protects it from the sun.
Two other important characteristics of the giraffe are its large eyes and long thick eyelashes. With its large eyes it can see very well. The eyelashes protect its eyes. The giraffe sees better than most other large animals in Africa.
A giraffe's feet and legs are also important characteristics. The giraffe uses them for protection. It has hard feet, like a cow. It also has very strong legs. If a lion comes too close, the giraffe can kick it on the head. That usually kills the lion.
One last characteristic is the giraffe's long black tongue. It is about 18 inches long. With their tongues, giraffes get food far above their heads. They also clean their eyes and ears with their tongues. Why is the giraffe's tongue black? The color protects it from the sun.
Maybe the giraffe looks like four animals, but of course we know that it is not. It is one animal, with many different characteristics. Its characteristics help it survive. [文章大意] 文章主要讲述的是长颈鹿生存的重要特征。
27. Which of the following characteristic for a giraffe to survive is not mentioned? A. Large ears. 6 / 17

Giraffes can use their soft feet to kill lions sometimes. C. Giraffes always clean their necks with their black tongues. D. Giraffes have thick coats to protect themselves from the sun. [答案] D [考点] 细节题
[解析] 文章第三段最后一句话“the giraffe's thick coat protects from the sun”判断 D 选项是 正确的。在第二段提及\ they have time to run away or hide 可 知 是 hide from danger, 但 没 有 提 到 是 否 能 hide among the trees; 在第五段提及 hard feet like a cow，所以 B 选项中 soft 不符合；第六段提 及“They also clean their eyes and cars with their tongues(用舌头去清理眼睛和耳朵)”; 没有 提到 clean necks，所以 C 选项不符合。
29. The passage mainly tells us that A. giraffes, camels, leopards and cows look the same. B. giraffes have the characteristics of many animals. C. giraffes\ D. giraffes learn these characteristics from others. [答案] C [考点] 主旨大意题
