答案： 2.
(1)a. thick; where b. 330,000 c. work; needed
(2)·The captain feels worried and a bit hopeful. He is worried because the ship is in a dangerous situation—thick fog, engine failure, and far from land. But when he sends Arny, he hopes the pigeon can bring help, so there's a little hope. ·Because the ship is in thick fog, the engine stops working, and they are far from land. Other ways to ask for help (like radio, but maybe in that time, such tools didn't work well or exist) can't work. Only Arny, the homing pigeon, can fly through the fog to deliver the help message. So Arny is their last hope. ·The captain wrote the note. Because the ship needed help, and the captain tied the note to Arny's leg to send for help.

3. Deep thinking:
(1) Besides homing pigeons, what other animals have “special skills” to help humans?
(2) How can we better understand and respect the relationship between animals and human society through these examples?

答案：
(1)
Dogs: They have a strong sense of smell. They can be trained as guide dogs to help the blind, search and rescue dogs to find people in disasters, and sniffer dogs to detect drugs, explosives, etc.
Dolphins: They are highly intelligent. They can be trained to perform in aquariums, and also assist in underwater rescue and military operations.
Horses: They have been long - used as a means of transportation. In some areas, they are still important for herding livestock and in equestrian sports.
(2)
Through these examples, we can know that animals have unique abilities that can be of great help to human society. We should recognize the value of animals and treat them with a friendly and respectful attitude.
We need to protect the living environment of animals, because a good environment is the basis for them to give full play to their abilities. At the same time, we should use their abilities in a scientific and reasonable way, not over - exploit or abuse them.

创意写作——故事改编(Story Adaptation)
In my story, when Arny met the thick fog,it met a magic bird. The magic bird used its power to clear the fog a little bit and helped Arny fly faster.
In ______

答案： In my story, when Arny met the thick fog, it met a magic bird. The magic bird used its power to clear the fog a little bit and helped Arny fly faster.
In return, Arny offered to guide the bird to the safest path through the fog, as it had flown this way before. Together, they navigated the treacherous skies, the fog gradually lifting not just around them, but in their collaboration against the challenge. By working as a team, they turned a difficult journey into an adventure filled with trust and mutual support. Finally, they reached clear skies, where Arny thanked the bird, and they promised to meet again.

The chameleon(变色龙) is a fascinating reptile(爬行动物). It is well-known for two special abilities.
First, it can change its colour. Its body can turn green, brown, or even yellow. It doesn’t change colour to match the background. Instead, it uses colour to communicate. For example, a male chameleon turns bright colours to attract a mate or show its anger when a rival appears. When it’s stressed or cold, it turns dark. Second, its eyes are amazing. The two eyes can move separately. One can look forward while the other looks backward. This helps it find insects from far away without moving its head.
Chameleons live in warm places like rainforests. They live in trees, using long tails to hold onto branches. They move slowly, but catch food quickly with their long, sticky tongues. However, they are in danger. People are cutting down forests, so chameleons are losing their homes and food.
根据文章内容,回答问题。
1. Why do chameleons change colour if not to match the background?
2. How do a chameleon’s eyes help it in daily life?
3. What is the main threat to chameleons in their natural environment?
4. In what ways are chameleons’ survival skills related to their habitats?
5. If you could develop a plan to protect chameleons, what would it include?

答案： 1. They use colour to communicate, like attracting a mate or showing anger. 2. The two eyes can move separately. One can look forward while the other looks backward. This helps it find insects from far away without moving its head. 3. People are cutting down forests, so chameleons are losing their homes and food. 4. Chameleons live in trees in warm places like rainforests. They use long tails to hold onto branches, which is suitable for living in trees. Their slow movement and quick-catching food ability with long, sticky tongues also help them survive in the forest environment. 5. My plan would include protecting forests to provide them with enough habitats and food, setting up nature reserves, and raising people's awareness of chameleon protection. (答案不唯一)
