Module 6　课时达标训练(二十四)Ⅰ.阅读理解Living in the wild can be hard. Finding food and staying safe arent easy. Each day, animals struggle to sur-vive in their habitats. Not all animals get by on their own. Some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animals. These pairings are called symbiotic (共生的) relationships.In a symbiotic relationship, the animals depend on each other. One animal helps the other meet its needs. Sounds good, right? Not always. Some animals are not very kind to their partners. In some cases, one animal meets its needs but hurts its partner. Take ticks (壁虱) for example. These insects suck blood to live. To get blood, they attach themselves to other kinds of animals. Ticks can pass germs that cause disease instead of helping their hosts.In other relationships, animals dont treat their part-ners so poorly. Both animals benefit, or get help, from living with the other animal.Small animals called cleaner shrimps have found a way of helping fish at coral reefs. As their name suggests, the shrimps clean the fish. They hang out at what scientists call a cleaning station. A fish stops by. Then a shrimp climbs onto the fish and even steps into the fishs mouth. The shrimp uses its tiny claws to pick stuff off the fishs body. That can include dead skin, tiny pieces of food, and wee creatures that can hurt the fish. The fish gets a nice cleaning. The shrimp enjoys a tasty meal of fish trash.Small birds called plovers are also in the cleaning business. They have big customers, crocodiles. Crocodiles have long snouts (口鼻部) filled with sharp teeth. Cleaning them is tricky. When a crocodile opens its mouth, the plover hops right in. The crocodile does not snap its snout shut. Instead, it lets the plover eat small, harmful animals attached to its teeth. The plover gets an easy meal while the crocodile gets clean teeth.1．The text is mainly about ________．A．the hard life in the wildB．some dangerous animalsC．animals living togetherD．animals in a symbiotic relatio
