八、阅读表达
阅读短文，根据要求完成文后的题目。
Draw a giraffe in your mind.How did you draw your giraffe? Does it have a long neck? Does it have long legs? Is it really tall? When people think of giraffes，they think of their long necks.A long neck and four long legs make the giraffe the tallest land animal on the earth.A giraffe is 1.8 m tall when it is born，and some giraffes get up to 6 m tall when they are all grown up.But did you know that giraffes also have long tongues(舌头)? Have you seen the tongue of a giraffe before? A giraffe has a very long tongue which can hold and wrap(包) around objects.The tongue is used for feeding，but it can be used in many different ways.For example，a giraffe can close its nose with its long tongue to keep out sand and dust.Also，a giraffe’s tongue is long enough to clean its own ears as well!The tongue is black in color to protect it from getting sunburned(晒伤)．It is nearly 56 cm long.Giraffes only eat plants，and a full grown giraffe can eat 33 kg of leaves a day.When giraffes look for some tall trees to eat，they sometimes fight with elephants for food.Giraffes use their tongues to eat leaves from some tall trees.The giraffe’s tongue is a helpful tool for reaching leaves．
