六、阅读与回答问题
Hi, my name is Polly. I have a pet tortoise (乌龟). His name is Speedy. I think his name is funny because Speedy walks very slowly—he is not speedy at all! I decided to buy a tortoise after I read a book about them. My grandfather helps me look after Speedy. He loves tortoises and used to have one when he was a young boy.
Speedy is brown and has a hard shell (壳) on his back. The shell acts like his home. When he is afraid, he can put his head inside his shell. It is amazing. Speedy does not like meat, so I feed him leaves and vegetables. He eats very slowly. He does everything slowly!
Speedy is two years old now. Tortoises live for a very long time. I saw a tortoise at the zoo that was 150 years old! It is amazing!
Speedy likes being in the sun. When it is sunny outside, I play with him in the garden. But when winter comes, Speedy sleeps through the whole season. This is called hibernation (冬眠), and it is because he really hates cold weather.
47. What is the name of Polly's pet?
48. Why does Polly think her pet's name is funny?
49. What food does the tortoise eat?
50. How old is the tortoise?
51. What does the tortoise hate?

1. Why are animals important to us?
2. What problems do animals face recently?
3. What can we do to protect animals?
答案：One possible version:
Animals are our friends, and they share a special relationship with humans. However, animals face some serious problems. Many lost their living places because farmers turn forests into farmland. And some people hunt animals for money.
We should take action to protect them. The government can build more nature reserves to make animals live there happily. We should also try our best to stop people from hurting animals and call on others not to buy things made from animals.
In a word, animals play an important part in nature, and it is our duty to protect them.
