B
Dear humans(人类)，
It's my first time writing to you, my children.
First, let me tell you more about our family. Dear humans, besides you, I have many other children. Some of them fly in the sky, some of them swim in the water, some live in ice-covered places, and some run on the grasslands(草原).
Some of them are as small as your fingernails, like bugs. Some of them are as big as cars, like elephants. Some of them might be very close to you, or even live in your house. But there are others you may never meet.
You take some animals home to be your pets, friends, and helpers. You put animals in zoos. You kill animals for their meat and fur.
I hope you can remember that wild animals are not your food or clothes. They are, in fact, your brothers and sisters. All of you are
equal. I love you all. I hope you and animals can live happily in my arms.
Yours,
Mother Earth

解析：
【分析】本题是阅读理解判断正误题，需逐题结合信件内容分析：1. 查看第二段内容，地球母亲介绍的是自己的其他孩子（各类动物），并非朋友，据此判断；2. 定位文中关于虫子和大象的描述，明确两者的大小特征，判断题目表述是否正确；3. 查看信件第三段，确认是否提及人类对待动物的方式；4. 结合语境猜测划线单词“equal”的含义；5. 通读信件，从最后一段的表述判断写作目的。
【解析】1. 第二段中地球母亲说的是自己的其他孩子（各种动物），而非朋友，故该题错误；2. 文中提到“Some of them are as small as your fingernails, like bugs. Some of them are as big as cars, like elephants.”，即虫子小如指甲盖，大象大如汽车，并非两者都像汽车，故错误；3. 第三段明确提到人类将动物带回家当宠物、放动物园、杀动物取肉和皮毛，谈论了人类对待动物的方式，故错误；4. 结合语境“All of you are equal”（所有的你们都是平等的），可知“equal”意为“平等的”，故正确；5. 信件最后希望人类和动物能快乐生活，目的是呼吁人类爱护、保护动物，故正确。
