三.阅读理解(每小题2分，共20分)
(A) Do you know why different animals or pests(害虫) have their special colours? Colours 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 colours together with the change of the colours of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest(收获) time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops. Some other pests with different colours 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 animals' life, you'll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the trees.
Have you ever found an even more strange 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 can learn that locusts_______.
A. are small animals B. are easily found by birds
C. are dangerous to their enemies D. change their colours to protect themselves
( ) 2. Pests with different colours from plants _______ to keep out of danger.
A. run away quickly B. have the colours much like their enemies
C. hide themselves by day and appear at night D. have to move quietly

A. they have the colours much like the trees B. they move quietly
C. they like brown and grey colours D. they live in forests
( )4. The kind of fish can live up to now because_______.
A. it is very big and strong B. the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies
C. the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies D. it swims faster than any other fish
( ) 5. The best title of this passage is_______.
A. The Change of Colours for Animals and Pests B. Colours of Different Animals and Pests
C. The Main Use of Colours for Animals and Pests D. Some Animals and Pests
(B) Do you think of white when someone talks about a polar bear? In fact, the polar bear does not have white fur. It just appears to be white. Polar bears have a very good sense of smell. It helps them to find food. During summer, polar bears sleep longer, because they are able to find their food more easily at night. Usually, after a meal, polar bears have a short sleep. A polar bear can have 2-3 babies at a time. They live with their mothers until they are about two-and-a-half years old.
However, polar bears will die out soon because of people. There are only 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears in the world. The ones that are left are trying to survive today. The number of polar bears is becoming smaller and smaller because of the loss of sea ice — polar bears mostly inhabit (居住于) the sea ice, not the land ice. This is happening because of global warming (全球气候变暖), pollution, hunting and so on.
Ordinary people don’t care, but great people have the power and want to save tigers, fight for giant pandas and save polar bears. Ordinary people will wait, but great people will find a new world. For me, I will not wait. I will take the bus more often from now on. Join me and save the polar bears, and, of course, the tigers, the giant pandas and...
( ) 6. According to the passage, which of these answers does NOT make sea ice less?
A. Global warming. B. Pollution. C. Hunting. D. Travelling.

A. Polar bear’s fur is white. B. Perhaps the writer will drive his car less.
C. It’s harder for polar bears to find food in summer.D. Polar bears left have a good, happy life.

四.阅读表达(6分)
Many animals use some kind of“language”．They use signals and the signals have meanings．For example，when a bee has found some food，it goes back to its home．It is impossible for a bee to tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them，but it can do a little dancing．This tells the bees where the food is and how far away it is．
We humans have languages．We have words．These words have the meaning of things，actions，feelings or ideas． We can give each other information，to tell other people what we think or how we feel. By writing down words，we can remember what has happened or send messages to people far away.
Languages，like people，live and die．If a language is not used by people，it is called a dead language．This language can’t live and grow because no one speaks it．Latin is an example of a dead language．
A living language，of course，is often spoken by people today． It grows and changes with time．New words are created，and some old words have new meanings. Some words, or their meanings，may even die and only be found in old books．English and Chinese are both examples of a living 1anguage·
