Ⅳ. Read the passage and complete the following tasks.
Falcons are one of nature's most amazing animals. These birds are fast, beautiful and clever. We're going to share a few interesting facts about them.
Falcons are fast. They usually fly at speeds between 64 and 97 km per hour. But when falcons fly down to their prey(猎物), they can fly at speeds of over 320 kilometres per hour! That makes them the fastest animals in the world.
Falcons are not just fast. They are smart too. They can fly as much as about 25,000 kilometres a year, but they can always go back to the same nest(鸟巢) each year. That's amazing!

Falcons can see better than humans. Can you believe it? Falcons' eyes are bigger than human eyes and they can see prey on the ground from over 3,000 metres away! That means falcons can see eight times farther(更远的) than us. This lets the birds find small prey easily and quickly.
Choose the correct answer.
