阅读理解 速度之王猎豹的生存困境
素养:思维品质 难度:难 用时:8分钟
Imagine you are in Africa. Suddenly, a group of spots(斑点) moves past you quickly. What is it? It may be a cheetah(猎豹), the fastest animal on land. It can run up to 70 miles every hour, which is faster than most cars moving on the highway!
The cheetah is famous for its speed(速度). A cheetah has long legs and spring-like backbone that help it run fast. It can jump as fast as 20 feet in one leap! Although the cheetah can run fast, it can't run for a long time. It uses its energy quickly and becomes tired. If the cheetah cannot catch its food quickly, it will have to rest for a while before trying again.
A cheetah is also a great hunter. A cheetah’s coat is useful. Its coat is light brown with black spots. It helps the cheetah hide(隐藏) in the tall brown grass in Africa. Other animals do not see it hiding, so a cheetah can get close to rabbits, birds, and other animals quietly. Besides, it has sharp eyesight. A cheetah can see other animals far away. Good eyesight helps the cheetah find other animals easily.
Today the cheetah is in danger. Parts of Africa are being turned into farms. This change forces the cheetah to find new places to live, which is not always easy. Cheetahs are also being hunted by other animals such as lions and hyenas. Luckily, zookeepers and wildlife experts are trying to save
