A
Do you know why different animals or pests (害虫) have their special colors?
Colors on them seem to be used mainly (主要地) to protect themselves.4
Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot catch them easily. Why?
Because locusts change their colors according to the colors of crops (庄稼). When
crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change
to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from
plants are easily found and eaten by others, so they have to hide (隐藏) themselves
and appear (出现) only at night.
If you study animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect
themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot
be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have colors much like the
trees.
A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体) when
it faces danger. While the liquid spreads out, its enemies (敌人) cannot find
it, so it can escape (逃跑) at once. That is why it can live long, though it is not
strong at all.
1. From the passage we learn that locusts _______.
A. are small animals B. are easily found by birds
C. are dangerous to their enemies D. change their colors to protect
themselves
2. How can pests with different colors from plants keep out of danger?
A. They run away quickly.
B. They have the colors much like their enemies.
C. They hide themselves by day and appear at night.
D. They have to move quietly.
3. Bears and lions can keep safe because _______.
A. they have the colors much like the trees
B. they move quietly
C. they like brown and grey colors
D. they live in forests
4. Why can the kind of fish live long?5
A. Because it is very big and strong.
B. Because it can send out a kind of very black liquid to help it escape from
its enemies.
C. Because it can send out a kind of liquid to kill its enemies.
D. Because it swims faster than any other fish.
5.Which is the best title(标题) of this passage?
A. The Change of Colors for Animals and Pests.
B. Colors of Different Pests.
C. The Main Use of Colors for Animals and Pests.
D. Some Animals and Pests.

Zhalong is a nature reserve in Heilongjiang in northeast China. It is one of
the world’s most important wetlands. The area provides food and shelter for wildlife.
It is an ideal home for different kinds of plants, fish and birds.
Many birds live comfortably in Zhalong Nature Reserve all year round, while some
only stay for a short time. There are many fish in the wetlands, and the birds can
easily catch them for food. Zhalong Nature Reserve is an important living area for
the rare red-crowned cranes. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world.
Some of them live in Zhalong.
Some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings.
This means that there will be less and less space for wildlife.
More and more birds are in danger because they do not have enough living space.
Many of them died. The Chinese government wants to protect these endangered birds,
and they can be safe in Zhalong.
Every year a lot of tourists go to Zhalong to watch birds. This year members
of our Bird watching Club are going to study the different kinds of birds in Zhalong
and the changes in their numbers. The study begins next month.
We do a bird count once a year. We are now inviting secondary school students
to help. We need more people to help us count and do something to help the birds.
Many people do not understand the importance of the wetlands. We hope this 6
information will help them understand and make them actively take action to protect
wildlife.

【答案与解析】
I. 单项选择。7
1.D。此处 use ... for ... 意为“用……来(做某事)”,句中 used 是过去式,所以在反义
疑问句中应借助助动词 did,根据“前肯后否”原则,故选 D。
2.A。考查固定搭配 pay attention to… ,意为“注意……”。
3.C。考查数词 hundred/thousand 等。如果前面有具体数字,其后不跟-s,也不加 of,反
之,其形式为:hundreds of(数百的),thousands of(数千的),故选 C。
4.A。考查形容词比较级。分析句意“你为什么喜欢住在农村?”,“因为那儿噪音少车也
少。”第一个空格后的 noise 是不可数名词,第二个空格后的 cars 是可数名词的复数。从选
项分析看, less 是 little 的比较级,fewer 是 few 的比较级,都是“少数的,几乎没有”
的意思,故选 A。
5.C。考查非谓语动词。根据 make sb. do sth. 句式,make 后面省略 to 的动词不定式在这
里充当宾语补足语。故可排除 A、B 和 D,选 C。
6.A。考查副词修饰比较级的用法。分析句子,空格后是比较级形式,由于 very, too, so 不
能修饰比较级,much 则可以,表示“更……”的意思,故选 A。
7.A。考查固定用法。used to “过去常常”;use 作为动词,意为“使用”。be used to “习
惯于”。上下句意思:“每个星期日,我姑姑都去爬山。”“哦?但是她过去讨厌爬山。”故
选 A。
8.D。考查 keep + n. +adj. 的用法。由句意“你们的教室太脏了,所有人都应该保持教室
干净。”可知选 D。
9.C。考查形容词最高级。分析句子,空格后是 in the city,故应用最高级,由于 beautiful
是多音节,其最高级用 the most beautiful,故选 C。
10.C。此题意为“蓝鲸是世界上最大、最重的动物,却以海洋中最小的动物为食”。“以……
为食”应用 feed on ...,而且这是一种习惯表达法,不需要使用过去时,故选 C。

1. B。句意:我在找一份送给妈妈的生日礼物,但是我找不到任何合适的东西。本题考查不
定代词的用法。something 某物,某事,一般不用于疑问句或否定句中;anything 任何东西,
任何事物,用于否定句、疑问句;nothing 没有东西;everything 所有东西,一切。根据题
意选 B 项。
2. A。句意:——请问,这本书我可以借长一点时间吗?——很抱歉,你今天必须把它还回
来。本题考查情态动词。根据答语 Sorry. 可知今天必须归还,故选 A 项。
3. C。句意:——雾霾将持续多久?——我不知道,还没有要结束的迹象。本题考查特殊疑
问副词词组。how soon 多久以后;how far 多远(对空间距离提问);how long 多久(对时间8
段提问);how often 多久一次(对频率提问)。last 持续,通常与 how long 搭配。故 C 项。
II. 完形填空。
1.B。考查词义区别。much 在这里作代词,充当 do 的宾语。
2.C。考查上下文推测。许多年前的计算机既大又贵。and 前是 big,故其后也应用原级。
3.D。考查词组固定搭配。由于主语是人,故用 be interested in 对……感兴趣。
4.B。考查上下文推测。上文说过去的计算机大且贵, 推测出现在的计算机更小更便宜。故
选 B。
5.A 。考查词义理解。do difficult work 意为“做困难的工作”。
6.D 。考查词义理解。根据下文表明计算机逐渐变得重要了。故选 D。
7.B 。考查介词。in+时间段,表示“在……内”,for+时间段,表示延续的一段时间。根据
题意,“一台计算机能在几秒钟内处理成千上万个问题”。故选 B。
8.C。考查动词固定用法。need sth. to do sth. 表示 “需要……去做某事”。
9.A。考查词义理解。分析句子意思,计算机的作用还在升级,空格应填名词,use 作名词
是“用处”的意思。故选 A。
10.C。考查上下文推测。根据上下文“人们需要操作和修理它们”,表示原因。故选 C。
III. 阅读理解。
A 篇

make them actively take action to protect wildlife.可知本文主要目的是让人们学习如何
保护野生动物。故答案选 B。
