Question

Do you know why different animals or insects have their special colors? Colors are used mainly to protect themselves.
Why can’t some birds easily catch locusts（蝗蟲）? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as autumn comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other insects with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives in the day and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals can’t be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colors much like the trees.
Have you ever noticed an even more strange thing? A kind of fish in the sea can send out black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies can’t find it. And it quickly swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all

1.C 根據(jù)It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops可以知道蝗蟲通過改變顏色來讓自己不被發(fā)現(xiàn)，從而保護(hù)自己，故選C。
2.B 根據(jù)So they have to hide themselves for lives in the day and appear only at night.可知他們白天把自己隱藏起來，只在晚上出現(xiàn)，故選B。
3.D 根據(jù)because they have the colors much like the trees可知熊和獅子的顏色像樹的顏色，也就是說他們的顏色相似，選D。
4.C 本題是猜詞題，要聯(lián)系上下文來看。根據(jù)While the liquid spreads over, its enemies can’t find it可知能在水中擴(kuò)散讓敵人不找不到他們的的是一種液體，也就是我們說的烏賊，選C。
5. C 主旨大意題的考查，文章主要講的是動(dòng)物和昆蟲的顏色的改變，通過改變顏色他們能有效地保護(hù)自己，故C最佳。A,B只是文章提到了一個(gè)方面，D的植物變色文章未講到。
