雅思課外閱讀：蜥蜴雙語(yǔ)篇

雅思閱讀想拿高分的同學(xué)，平時(shí)的練習(xí)不可或缺，除此之外，擴(kuò)大閱讀量也非常重要，雅思閱讀部分考試涉及的題材較為廣泛，所以平時(shí)多讀一些文章是很有利于我們考試的。下面就來(lái)給大家分享一篇--雅思課外閱讀：蜥蜴雙語(yǔ)篇。

Lizards

蜥蜴

Lizards are members of the reptile family. Other members are snakes, turtles, crocodiles and alligators. Lizards have several things in common with other reptiles. All reptiles are cold-blooded. They cannot control their own body temperature. It is controlled by their surroundings. Lizards must work to maintain their temperature. Another characteristic which lizards have in common with all reptiles is that their skin is made of scales.

蜥蜴是爬行動(dòng)物的一員。爬行動(dòng)物還包括蛇，龜，鱷魚(yú)和短吻鱷。蜥蜴與其他爬行動(dòng)物有幾個(gè)共同點(diǎn)。所有的爬行動(dòng)物是冷血的。他們無(wú)法控制自己的體溫。他們的體溫由他們所處的環(huán)境決定。蜥蜴必須努力保持其溫度。而蜥蜴與所有爬行動(dòng)物的另一個(gè)共同點(diǎn)是他們的皮膚是由鱗片組成。

Lizards shed their skin frequently because the skin doesn't grow with them. They have lungs and breathe like humans. They breathe through nostrils above their mouths. They have a special organ on the roof of their mouth. It is a Jacobson's organ. Lizards smell with this. They pick up the smells with their tongues. The smells travel to the Jacobson's organ. Lizards can sense prey this way. Their eyes and ears are located on either side of their heads.

蜥蜴常常蛻皮是因?yàn)樗麄兊钠つw不跟隨他們自生成長(zhǎng)。他們有肺，像人類(lèi)一樣呼吸。他們通過(guò)其嘴巴上面鼻孔呼吸。他們口腔上部有一個(gè)特殊的器官，被稱(chēng)為雅各布遜氏器。蜥蜴通過(guò)這個(gè)器官聞到氣味。他們用舌頭感知?dú)馕?，隨后氣味傳遞到雅各布遜氏器。蜥蜴也能通過(guò)這種方式感知獵物。他們的眼睛和耳朵位于頭的兩側(cè)。

Lizards have a simple body shape. They have a head, a pair of legs, a long body, another pair of legs and a tail. Their tails can help them balance, swim, or grab tree branches. Some lizards use their tails as a weapon. They can also wiggle away from a predator which grabs their tail. Certain muscles will cause it to fall off, but the tail still moves. The predator watches the tail, and the lizards can escape. Then lizards can grow a new tail. Lizards range in size from one and one-half inches long to seven and one-half feet. The Komodo dragon is the biggest lizard. The Komodo dragons live in Indonesia. The smallest lizards live in the British Virgin Islands.

蜥蜴的體型十分簡(jiǎn)單。他們有一個(gè)頭，一雙腿，一個(gè)修長(zhǎng)的身體，另一對(duì)腿和一根尾巴。它們的尾巴能幫助他們平衡，游泳，或抓住樹(shù)枝。有些蜥蜴用它們的尾巴作為武器。當(dāng)捕食者抓住他們尾巴的時(shí)候，他們可以通過(guò)扭動(dòng)尾巴進(jìn)而逃跑。而某些肌肉會(huì)使尾巴脫落，但脫落的尾巴卻仍然是活動(dòng)的。使捕食者盯著蜥蜴的尾巴，蜥蜴便得以逃脫。不久后蜥蜴就長(zhǎng)出新的尾巴。蜥蜴的體型從七又二分之一英尺到一又二分英寸不等。科莫多巨蜥是最大的蜥蜴?？颇嗑掾嵘钤谟《饶嵛鱽?。最小的蜥蜴生活在英屬維爾京群島。

Lizards can be found on every continent except Antarctica. Many live in tropical rain forests. Food is plentiful for them there. The hot damp climate allows them to maintain their body temperatures. They can be found also in deserts and other hot, dry areas. Many of the desert lizards are nocturnal. They come out in the cooler evening. Very hot weather is not good for them. Lizards that live in cold climates hibernate through the winter. Their bodies can't tolerate the cold temperatures. Also, food is not as readily available in the winter.

除南極洲以外，各大洲都有蜥蜴的蹤跡。許多生活在熱帶雨林。那里有豐盛的食物。炎熱潮濕的氣候使他們能夠保持自己的體溫。在沙漠等炎熱干燥的地方也有它們的身影。許多沙漠蜥蜴是夜間活動(dòng)。他們?cè)跊鏊陌沓鰜?lái)。他們無(wú)法適應(yīng)炎熱的天氣。生活在寒冷的氣候下的蜥蜴通過(guò)冬眠越冬。他們的身體不能耐受寒冷的氣溫。另外，在冬天食物并不容易獲得。

Some lizards are carnivores and some are herbivores. Large carnivores like the Komodo dragon will eat anything they can find. They need a lot of food so will hunt bigger prey, like deer and cattle. Gila monsters are also rather large lizards. They usually look for baby birds and mice. They bite their prey. Poison flows from their mouths into the wound. Gila monsters are the only venomous lizards in the United States. Smaller carnivores eat insects, other lizards and small animals. Herbivores eat leaves, fruit, flowers and other plants. They can more easily obtain food. They don't have to hunt or wait in hiding like the carnivores.

有些蜥蜴是食肉動(dòng)物，有些是食草動(dòng)物。像科莫多巨蜥大型食肉動(dòng)物會(huì)吃任何可以找到的東西。他們需要大量的食物，所以會(huì)尋找更大的獵物，如鹿和牛。毒蜥也是相當(dāng)大的蜥蜴。他們通常尋找雛鳥(niǎo)和老鼠。他們咬住獵物。毒液從他們口中流入獵物的傷口。毒蜥是美國(guó)境內(nèi)唯一有毒的蜥蜴。小型食肉蜥蜴吃昆蟲(chóng)，其它蜥蜴等小動(dòng)物。食草動(dòng)物吃樹(shù)葉，水果，花卉等植物。他們更容易地獲取食物。他們不需要像食肉動(dòng)物那樣去打獵或隱藏等待獵物。

Lizards are prey to birds, snakes, bears, raccoons, and coyotes. They try to avoid the predators by hiding underground or behind rocks during the day. At night they stay in a nice warm burrow under the ground.

蜥蜴是鳥(niǎo)，蛇，熊，浣熊和狼的獵物。他們?cè)噲D通過(guò)白天躲在地下或巖石后面來(lái)避免天敵。到了晚上，他們便會(huì)把自己埋在溫暖的地下洞穴。

In summary, lizards are members of the reptile family. Like reptiles, they are cold-blooded. Their temperature is controlled by their environment. They have to work at keeping their bodies at a comfortable temperature. Also, like reptiles, their skin is composed of scales.

蜥蜴是爬行族的成員。如同其他爬行動(dòng)物，它們是冷血?jiǎng)游?。它們的溫度是由他們的環(huán)境的控制。他們需要保持自己的身體合適的溫度。此外，如同其他爬行動(dòng)物，它們的皮膚是由鱗片組成。
