Ali said loudly,“I’m Ali. I’ve never done anyone any harm.”After a long silence, the statue with the happy expression came to life and said,“Excellent! You are perfect for this place because this place is full of statues like you. They do no harm to anyone, either!”Soon Ali felt his whole body became completely paralyzed.
Soon, it was Tom’s turn. But unlike his friend, those statues and their sad eyes moved him so much that he went to each one and touched them, secretly hoping that they were alive. And then he saw Ali.
Tom did his best to free his friend and others, but failed. Finally, he turned to the statues guarding the entrance for help. The statue with the angry expression came to life and told him that he had passed the test and could take one of the statues to go with him.

Mosquitoes (蚊子) can be seen everywhere all over the world, especially in summer. And there are more than 2,500 kinds of them around the world. No one likes the mosquitoes, but the mosquitoes may like you. They may bite (咬) you because they think your blood is delicious. However, have you ever wondered how these small insects are so good at finding you
According to the new research, mosquitoes see red when they look at your skin, and then they will give you a bite. It shows that these insects usually find certain colors more attractive. The study means that you can choose what to wear to stop you from being bitten, but there is little you can do about your skin. This is because everyone’s skin gives off a strong red signal (信号), which will attract the mosquitoes.
“I used to say there were three main things that drew mosquitoes’ attention — our breath, sweat (汗水) and the temperature of our skin,”said Jeffrey Riffell, a researcher of the study.“In this study, we found a fourth one: the color red. It can be found not only on your clothes, but also in your skin.The skin is giving off a strong red signal no matter whether its color is light or dark.” Researchers found that when mosquitoes find CO2 in our breath, then they look for certain colors — including red, orange and black — to find their meal. “Mosquitoes seem to use smell to help them know what is nearby,”Riffell said.“Imagine that you are on a street and that you smell
cake. That is probably a sign that there’s a cake shop nearby, and you might start looking around for it.”
Knowing what colors mosquitoes like may lead to better ways to protect us from mosquitoes. According to the researchers, a further study is needed to learn how other things that mosquitoes can see or smell help guide them to their goals.
( ) 21. What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To answer readers’ questions.
C. To show mosquitoes are annoying.
D. To show how mosquitoes bite people.
( ) 22. What can help guide mosquitoes to us according to Riffell
①Our sweat. ②Our height. ③The color red. ④The CO2 from our breath.
⑤The temperature of our skin.
①②③④ B. ①②③⑤ C.①②④⑤ D. ①③④⑤
( ) 23. Why did Riffell talk about people smelling cake
A. To show how smart humans are.
B. To explain how mosquitoes find a goal.
C. To warn cake shop owners of mosquitoes.
D. To compare mosquitoes’ noses with humans’.
( ) 24. By knowing what colors mosquitoes like, we _________.
A. may be bitten by mosquitoes less often
B. can kill more and more mosquitoes easily
C. can help mosquitoes find other meals
D. may guide mosquitoes to their goals
( ) 25. What’s the passage mainly about
