八年级英语 unit1语言点讲解及习题(10)

The men are hunters and fishermen．There are not many animals in the Amazon jungle，but the

men look for birds and monkeys．Occasionally，they can kill a larger animal．1 hey use bows and ar-

rows for hunting．Often they use arrows that are poisoned，so that if an animal is hit anywhere on its

body it will die The men also spend a IOt of time fishing in the rivers.

There are many dangers in the jungle and in the water of the rivers．A dangerous fish called the pi-

ranlla lives in the Amazon．It has many small teeth as sharp as knives．Piranhas are not large fish，but

when hundreds of them attack a man at once．they can tear the flesh from his bones ln a few minutes·

There are also many snakes and insects Along the banks of the rivers there are alligators(鳄鱼，短吻

鳄)．The Indians hunt the alligator，because they can se『1 its skin and also eat its meat．But the alliga-

tor is a dangerous animal，with strong jaws and sharp teeth，and it can easily kill a man It he is not

careful．

The women do most of the farming，and they also cook the food．After the jungle has been

cbared，the wOmen plant food crops：a few fruits and vegetables，but mostly a plant called manio（树薯，参茨)，which can be made into bread．The juice of the manioc is poisonous，and the women must

take great care to get all the juice out of the manioc before they make it into bread．Besides the food

they get from hunting，fishing，and farming，the Indians also have the fruits that grow in the jungle，ba-

nanas，for instance，grow wild in the forest．

When the soil car]no longer grow food，the Indians move on to another part of the jungle Since

very few people live in the jungle，there is always plenty of land．If there were many people，it would

not be possible for them all to stay alive．since there is so Iittle food for man in the rain forest.

This is a hard life，but this kind of farming gave the world a great civilization．A group of Indians

named the Mayas(玛雅族)lived in Central America．In the past they built great cities in the middle of

the jungte，and they learned a great deal about astronomy(天文学)．The people in the cities were fed

by farmers，who cleared jungle land and grew crops for a few years，and then moved to new land．

When all the farmland around the cities was used up，all the people moved to a different region，built

new cities．and started to farm again． 单元综合检测题 I．单项填空。(10分)
