【分析】这篇短文给我们讲述了一个科学知识，有些动物，如鸟类是可以看到颜色的，这可以帮助它们找食物和发现危险。但是有些动物，如狗、狼等，它们不能分辨颜色，但是狼的听觉很好，它们是靠猎物的移动来捕杀他们。

how soon多久，多快；how far多远；how long多长时间；how fast多快，指速度。根据上句话“Birds can see colours, just as people do. Birds need to see colours when they fly because they need to find places to land（着陆）.”可知，鸟需要看到颜色，因为它们飞行的时候，需要找到地方着陆，所以颜色能够帮助它们知道那个地方有多远，故选B。
32．句意：但对于其他一些动物，比如狼，世界看起来就像一张黑白照片。
other其他的，形容词；another另一个；others其他人或物，代词；the other两者中的另一个。此处说的是除了鸟以外其他的动物，作定语修饰animals，故选A。

dangerous危险的；safe安全的；slow慢的；fast快的。根据上下文“They can hear…when the animals they hunt move. But other animals seem to know this. For example, a rabbit will stop moving when it finds there is something…Then the wolves…not find it at all.”可知，狼是通过听动物的移动来捕杀动物，一些动物知道这个，所以当有危险的事物时，它们就会停止移动，这样狼就不会发现它们了。故选A。
36．句意：然后狼可能根本不会发现它。
should应该；must必须；may可能，可以；need需要。如果猎物不移动的话，狼可能就不会发现它们了，这里只表示有这种可能，故选C。
37．句意：有些鸟的视力比人的更好。
bigger更大的；smaller更小的；worse更差的；better更好的。根据than可知，这里是把鸟的视力和人的视力相比，再根据下句话“They can see dead insects from far away.”可知，鸟的视力更好，故选D。
38．句意：当它们在空中飞的时候，它们能够看到小的昆虫。
when当……时候；till直到；where哪里；how怎样，如何。这里说的是鸟，它们是在空中飞的，这里是when引导时间状语从句，表示“当……时候”，故选A。
39．句意：因为它们能看到颜色，所以它们能容易地找到食物，以及发现是否有其他对于它们来说危险的动物。
paint油漆，绘画；see看到；read阅读；watch观看。根据短文的开头“Birds can see colours”可知，鸟可以看到颜色，这是它们比较容易找到食物的原因，故选B。
