六、任务型阅读(阅读并根据下面的短文,在表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词)
A whooping crane is a large white North American crane famous for its loud call.
You may weigh more than a whooping crane, but maybe you aren't taller than one! Whooping cranes can grow up to five feet tall. It makes them the tallest birds in North America. But even as tall as they are, whooping cranes weigh only about 15 pounds, because of their hollow(空心的) bones.
WHAT'S FOR DINNER?
Whooping cranes live in wetlands, wet prairies, and fields. They're not picky(挑剔的) about their meals—they have a mixed diet and eat small fish, and insects, as well as grain and marsh plants.
CALL OF THE WILD
Whooping cranes really like to “whoop it up” when they want to attract a mate(伙伴). They call loudly and do what might look like a crazy dance to be eye-catching. They flap their wings, and move their heads from side to side quickly, jumping up and down.
A SPECIAL TRICK
These cranes are in danger, but scientists have used some very interesting tricks to help them stay alive. At first, they moved one group of cranes to Florida, but the cranes never learned to migrate(迁徙). When they got to Florida, they didn't know how to fly back home. Scientists did all they could do to make the number of the cranes larger, so they used a special trick with another Florida group of cranes. Scientists “taught” the younger cranes to migrate by having them follow a very light airplane from Florida to Wisconsin. After the cranes gave birth to their babies in Florida, they'd follow the plane back to Wisconsin!
Some whooping cranes stay in Florida all year round, some fly from Florida to Wisconsin, and others fly from Texas to Canada and back again each year.
