Have you ever wondered why?Locusts are super delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies. The reason is that the colors, of locusts change with the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They cant be seen easily by their enemies. This is because they have colors similar to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark colored and they live under the soil(土壤)in a dark and wet environment. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over, its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world.

Use more than one keyword when you are doing a search. If you want to find out about seagulls, for example, search for bird seagull and not just seagull because seagull might also be the name of just about anything else, from a hotel to a documentary film.Exact references can help you find what youre looking for. If you are looking for an exact phrase or sentence, e.g. seagulls are very clever, type it between quotation marks (“”) and only exact matches will be shown. This is useful when you want to find something youve already seen but lost.Avoid common words like a or the in a search. These arent always helpful and are usually unnecessary.Remove unwanted results by adding a minus symbol (-). For example, seagull-hotel-film would leave out all references to hotels and films. . Make sure that you spell every word in the search box correctly. The smallest typing mistakes can bring unwanted results - especially when the mistyped word exists.Have a filter（过滤程序）. Its a good idea to filter your searches, especially when you are searching for pictures. Ask an adult to help you add a filtering system. There are lots of filtering software options available.Experiment with different search engines until you find the one thats best for you. Some search engines personalise the results. So check out the option of using a search engine that doesnt do this and you will get different results.Reliability is very important when you are searching on the Internet. Always ask yourself, “Is this reliable?” Dont make the mistake of believing everything you see. Some websites are unreliable and some information is false. Check your information on other websites before accepting it.（1）This is an article written for adults, isnt it?_.（2）If you want to find out about peaches, what keywords may help you find better results?_.（3）How can we get exact matches when we are looking for an exact phrase?_.（4）What can be filled in the blank?_.（5）What is especially important for picture searches?_.（6）Write three DONTs about safe and smart search.Dont _.Dont _.Dont _.六、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)24. （5分）请根据下面表格的内容提示，写一篇80词左右的英语短文，比较一下你祖父母的和你的童年。开头已给出，不计入总词数。 玩具少(经常自制)很多玩具帮忙做很多家务家务不多但作业很多常常挨饿喜欢在操场看电影My grandparents childhood is quite different from mine.第 10 页 共 10 页参考答案一、 阅读理解 (共3题；共28分)1-1、1-2、1-3、1-4、1-5、2-1、2-2、2-3、2-4、3-1、3-2、3-3、3-4、3-5、二、 根据首字母、中文提示填空 (共8题；共8分)4-1、5-1、6-1、7-1、8-1、9-1、10-1、11-1、三、 用所给词的正确形式填空 (共10题；共10分)12-1、13-1、14-1、15-1、16-1、17-1、18-1、19-1、20-1、21-1、四、 用单词的正确形式完成短文 (共1题；共5分)22-1、五、 阅读短文，回答问题 (共1题；共8分)23-1、23-2、23-3、23-4、23-5、23-6、六、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)24-1、
