Colors 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 colors together with the change of 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 themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, youll 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 the colors 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 very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.（1）From the passage we learn that locusts_. A . are small animalsB . are easily found by birdsC . are dangerous to their enemiesD . 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）Why can the kind of fish live up to now? A . Because it is very and strong.B . Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies.C . Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.D . Because it swims faster than any other fish.（4）Which is the best title for this passage? A . The Change of Colors for Animals and PestsB . Colors of Different Animals and PestsC . The Main Use of Colors for Animals and PestsD . Some Animals and Pests19. （5分）任务型阅读Tyler opened the door to his house and went inside.

Earth Day is a day when every person promises to do something to help take care of our world. Mrs. Green said that our world is getting dirtier and that many animals and plants are dying. She wants us to think of something we can do to help and I thought all the way home and there is nothing I can do.

More than 200 meters deep, it is the largest lake in the UK. People say a big monster (怪兽) lives in its dark, cold waters. It weighs more than 1,000 kilos and is at least ten meters long. Some people say it has a head like a horse. Others say it looks like a snake. Many people travel to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster, but only a few people have seen it. At least, they say they have seen it.The Loch Ness Monster is a famous legend (传说). The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500 years ago, but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twentieth century. In 1933, a husband and wife reported that they saw a big monster in Loch Ness. Several people have taken photos, but at least one of them was a hoax (骗局). During the 1960s, a team was formed to look for the monster. They took many photos and made movies, but they were never able to find a monster.There is no real fact that a monster lives in Loch Ness, but there is also no fact that one doesnt live. One thing is true about Loch Ness: there are a lot of tourists there.（1）Where is Loch Ness?_（2）What do people say about the monsters head in Loch Ness?_（3）When was the first story about the monster told?_（4）Why was a team formed during the 1960s?_（5）What is the passage mainly about?_七、 书面表达 (共2题；共10分)28. （5分）请根据课文More practice的内容和以下要点提示，对文章的主要内容进行复述 When did Xiujuan stay helping her father?Where did Xiujuan work when she was 21?How did Xiujuan take care of the red-crowned cranes?What did Xiujuan do after one of the birds went missing?Why was the song The story of the red-crowned crane written?你的介绍可以这样开始: Xiujuans fathers job was to look after red-crowned cranes 29. （5分）在即将举行的中学生国际文化交流活动中，你将代表学校介绍中国的传统节日，请你从所给的卡片中任选一张，用英语写篇发言稿，介绍该节日。 the Spring FestivalTime: in January or FebruaryActivities: welcome the new year, visit relatives, get together.
