英文原文阅读
Life cycle The time of gestation 5 in otters 2 is about 60 to 86 days. The newborn pup is taken care of by the mother, the father, and all the other offspring. Female otters reach sexual maturity 6 at approximately two years of age, while males can produce offspring at approximately three years of age. After one month, the young otter can come out of the cave and, after two months, it is able to swim. It lives with its family for about one year, so it can learn and be kept safe until maturity. Otters live up to 16 years.CharacteristicsOtters have long, slim bodies and relatively 7 short limbs, with webbed paws. Most have sharp claws on their feet, and all except the sea otter have long, muscular tails. The 13 species range in adult size from 0.6 to 1.8 metres (2 to 6 ft) in length and 1 to 45 kilograms (2.2 to 100 lb) in weight. The Oriental small-clawed otter is the smallest otter species and the giant otter and sea otter are the largest. They have very soft, insulated underfur, which is protected by an outer layer of long guard hair. This traps a layer of air, and keeps them dry and warm under water.Many otters live in cold waters and have very high metabolic 8 rates to help keep them warm. European otters must eat 15% of their body weight a day, and sea otters 20 to 25%, depending on the temperature. In water as warm as 10 °C (50 °F), an otter needs to catch 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of fish per hour to survive. Most species hunt for three to five hours a day, and nursing mothers up to eight hours a day.For most otters, fish is the staple 9 of their diet. This is often supplemented by frogs, crayfish and crabs 10.[3] Some otters are expert at opening shellfish, and others will feed on available small mammals or birds. Prey 11-dependence leaves otters very vulnerable to prey depletion 12.Otters are very active, chasing prey in the water or searching the beds of rivers, lakes or the seas. Most species live beside water, but river otters usually enter it only to hunt or travel, otherwise spending much of their time on land to avoid their fur becoming waterlogged. Sea otters are highly aquatic 13 and live in the ocean for most of their lives.Otters are playful animals and appear to engage in various behaviors for sheer enjoyment 14. Different species vary in their social structure, with some being largely solitary 15, while others live in groups – in a few species these groups may be fairly large.

考试趋势分析和备考指导：本次雅思阅读考试出现的基本还是主流题型加送分题型，配对题并不多，但是再一次考到段落细节配对题，这基本是雅思阅读考试每次必考的题型。另外是非无判断题依然量较多。应对策略：考生要特别注意主流题型中每一种题型的复习，尤其是细节配对和是非无判断，另外对于送分题也不能忽略，切不可因侥幸心理忽视了对某种题型技巧的复习，以不变应万变才是决胜之策。另外此次考试三篇文章均为以前考过之题，所以建议考生在熟悉题型，提高词汇语法基础的同时，可以看一下阅读机经，熟悉里面文章的背景知识，这样在考试过程中会更加得心应手。
