一、阅读短文, 选择正确答案
Mr Scott talked about colours all the time. “What a honey-yellow morning it is!” he said to his wife. His wife planted fruit and vegetables in their garden, but Mr Scott was more interested in the leafy plants, the bushes, and even the grass that grew in the garden. “So many kinds of green,” he said to her after watering all the plants. “I counted at least twenty shades of green!”
“Well done, dear,” Mrs Scott said. “Now would you please count twenty dollars and go to the supermarket for some ingredients(配料) I want to make lunch!”
With a smile on his face, Mr Scott left at once. He enjoyed trips to the supermarket because of all the colourful cans and boxes in it. Fruit and vegetables, too, shone in their bright skins. There was never just one colour: carrots were orange, but also had bits of yellow and brown in them. Bananas were yellow and black; apples hid oranges and purples inside their reds. Mr Scott would walk through the supermarket and enjoy all the colours around him.
“I wish there was a store full of colours that I could spend all my time in,” he sighed.
He bought everything on his wife's list and came home. When he walked into the house, MrsScott noticed the sad look on his face. “What’ s wrong ” she asked him. “It looks like you had fun at the store. I can see that you picked out the best things.”
“I did have fun in the store. So much that I wish I could have spent more time there. It's so full of colours!” Mr Scott said.
“I see,” Mrs Scott said. “Well, cheer up, because I'm going to cook a nice lunch for us!”
The next day Mr Scott was on his usual morning walk through the neighbourhood, saying hello to everyone, enjoying the colours of the trees and flowers. It was another day of colours!
“Good morning, Mr Brown,” he called out to one of his neighbours. He liked Mr Brown very much, because, well, you guessed it: his name was a colour!
“Mr Scott! Just the person I wanted to see!” Mr Brown replied. “My wife and I are moving out of this town, and I need someone to take over my shop. You are the perfect person for the job because it's a paint shop! I need someone who knows its colours. Would you be interested ”
Mr Scott was mad with excitement. “I will take it over right away!”
Mr Brown was relieved when he left town, because he knew his paint shop was in good hands.Sure enough, Mr Scott kept the paint shop open for twenty more years and got to talk about colours all day, every day.

二、阅读短文,回答问题(答案不超过10单词)
The natural world is colourful with humans, plants and animals showing different colours. Human skin can be many different colours and it changes with the sun, our feelings, or our health. This is because of pigments(色素), which reflect light and make what the eyes see as colours. So, when we feel excited or angry, our heart sends more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red.
Plants also have pigments. Colours play an important role in their life. The bright colours of flowers catch the attention of insects, which then carry their pollen(花粉) from one flower to another. Bees can see colours we cannot, and they follow these to the inside of the flower. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.
Animals also use colours for their own need. They protect themselves with different colours in order not to be seen by predators(捕食者). The snowshoe hare, for example,a type of wild rabbit,changes colours with seasons for this reason. During summer it is a brown colour, and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow. However, some animals use the colour as a warning to frighten predators away. Bright colours such as yellow and red are often used in this way.
So, we can see that there may be many different reasons and uses for colours in the natural world.Some uses of colours in nature remain unknown, but one thing is for sure, colours not only make our planet beautiful, but they are also necessary for our planet to live on.
1. Why does human skin change with the sun, our feelings, or our health
2. Why does our face become red when we feel excited or angry
3. What helps plants to attract insects
4. Why does the writer talk about the snowshoe hare in Paragraph 3
5. Where can you find this text

When crops are green,locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts c 4 into the same brown colours as crops have. Some other pests with d 5 colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others.So they have to h 6 themselves and appear only at night.
If you study the animals’ life, you’ ll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves.
Bears, lions and other animals move quietly t 7 forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters because their colours are much 1 8 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 when it faces d 9 . While the liquid spreads over(散开), its enemies cannot find it.And its 10 away quickly. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
