What a colour may symbolize to a person of the west may be very different to someone in the east. Here are some colours and what they represent to various people of the world. Red is the favourite colour of brides in Vietnam. In this country, red represents fortune, success, and good luck. In China red is a symbol of luck and is used for many 5 celebrations such as weddings and at the beginning of the new year. In India red is a symbol of purity and commitment, and it is used in wedding clothing. In the United States red represents love and is used during Christmas and Valentine's Day. Red also denotes speed and power in the west, which is why it is a popular colour for race cars and toy rockets. To the Japanese，Chinese, Vietnamese and Koreans，white symbolizes death and mourning. To people of India and in the west, white is a colour of purity. Purple has long been considered the colour of royalty to westerners, probably because only the very rich could afford purple dye(染料) in ancient times. In Thailand, widows wear purple to show they're in mourning. To many Italian performers, purple is a colour of bad fortune, and they often do not wear these colours in front of an audience. In Paris, all garbage collectors are clothed in green, drive green trucks and dispose of waste in green bins. In many parts of the world, green has become a symbol of kindness to the earth. 56. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? 57. Why is red a popular colour for race cars and toy rockets in the west? A. Because westerners like red. B.

A. create a stamp B. build a house C. make a paper airplane D. explore a future city C Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon”？ People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example， someone might say that he tries to avoid ( 避 免 ) eating sweets because they are unhealthy，but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not 8 usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon”. While many people use this phrase，not everyone knows the meaning behind it. The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression. In fact，the phrase “blue moon” has to do with the shape of the moon， not the color. As the moon travels around the earth，it appears to change shape. We associate (联系) certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example，when we can see a small part of the moon，it is called a crescent moon(新月). A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip (尖端) of a fingernail (指甲). When we cannot see the moon at all，it is called a new moon. When we can see the whole moon，it is called a full moon. Usually，there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes，however，there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens，the second full moon is called a “blue moon”. Over the next 20 years，there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see，a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression “once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives. 66. Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase “once in a blue moon”？ A. Simon often tells jokes. Simon tells jokes once in a blue moon. B. Tom rarely remembers to do exercise. Tom does exercise once in a blue moon. C. Mary likes to go shopping every weekend. Mary goes shopping once in a blue moon. D. Cindy hates to stay up，but she stays up every day. Cindy stays up once in a blue moon. 67. Which of the following is another example of something that has a crescent shape? A. The letter “O”. B. The letter “M”. C. The letter “H”. D. The letter “C”. 68. How often will a blue moon happen over the next twenty years? A. Once a year. B. Less than once a year. 9 C. More than once a year. D. At least twice a year. 69. What does the underlined part “This fact” in the last paragraph refer to(所指)? A. A blue moon is a very rare event. B. The moon appears to change shape. C. The moon itself is never really blue. D. A blue moon has to do with the shape of the moon. D Do you know why different animals or pests have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves. Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫)，but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night. If you study the animal life, you'll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the trees. Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of black liquid when they face danger. The liquid spreads over quickly, so they cannot be found by their enemies and can quickly swim away. That is why they can live safely though they aren't strong at all. 70. From the passage we can learn that locusts____. A. are small animals B. are easily found by birds C. are dangerous to their enemies D. change their colours to protect themselves 71. How can pests with different colours from plants keep out of danger? A. They run away quickly. B. They have the colours much like their enemies. 10 C. They hide themselves by day and appear at night. D. They have to move quietly. 72. Which is the best title for this passage? A. The Change of Colours for Animals and Pests B. Colours of Different Animals and Pests C. The Main Use of Colours for Animals and Pests D. Some Animals and Pests E 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。 One day, a teacher walked into the classroom with some beautiful flowers in her hand.
