五、阅读短文,在文中空白处填入1个适当的单词,或用括号内所给单词或短语的正确形式填空。
Penguins live together, 1but each pair has a little piece of ground of their own. When a penguin wants 2to walk through his neighbour's ground, he must ask for permission(允许). If he does not do that, he 3will have to fight. Most of the time, penguins live in the water. They eat shellfish and look after their children 4carefully.
All penguins are good parents—the male(雄性的) penguins are perhaps 5the best parents in the world. They swim in the dark Antarctic water. They choose their wives 6in the dark. They can only hear them—not see them. Then the female penguins lay their eggs and will be away for about two 7months. The male penguins take care of the eggs. If the eggs get cold, there will be no chicks. The snow falls heavily and the wind blows strongly—sometimes at 150 kilometres an hour. There 8is no food. The male penguins 9don't move. When the females return from the sea, they will not remember their husbands. It does not matter. Only one thing matters—the eggs. Male penguins never fight—unless a penguin 10leaves a chick alone. They then fight because they all want it. They are strange and wonderful birds.
