21、Do you know why different animals or pests have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.

Some birds like eating locusts，but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. 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 the animal life, you’ll find the main use of colours is protecting themselves. bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the tree.

Have you ever noticed an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spread over, the enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it isn’t 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】How can pests with different colours from plants keep out of danger?

A. They run away quickly.

B. Their colours are much like their enemies.

C. They hide themselves in the day and appear at night.

D. They have to move quietly.

【3】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

【4】Which is the best title for this passage?

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

22、Rethinking “Smarter” Cities

The idea of “smart” cities was first put forward in the 1970s. Since then, it has spread to more and more countries. People hoped new technologies could help them live happier lives in cities.

Governments aren’t the only ones interested in building “smarter” cities. Many companies see the smart city program as a great chance to make money. Leading tech companies have all offered their smart-city solutions. However, many project designers don’t have a clear idea of what they are going to achieve. They proudly show off exciting new technologies like 5G, but they don’t know how to use them to solve real-world problems. In other words, they sound more like tech sales people than city builders.

This can cause many problems. City planning should always center around one question: What can be done to improve people’s living conditions? Private companies, however, have to take care of their own business interests first. Their answer to every problem is simply more technology. Their solutions often have nothing to do with people’s daily lives.

Sometimes, the problem is not a shortage of “smart” technologies. For example, self-driving cars are certainly “smarter” than bicycles. However, they may cause much more traffic jams. They don’t really make the city a better place to live.

City managers should carefully think about the kind of life to provide for people. Planneres and tech developers should work according to this blueprint（蓝图）. They should stop worrying about making our cities “smarter” and start to focus on making them better.

【1】Which of the following “interest” has the same meaning as the underlined one in Paragraph 3?

A．By then, I’ve lost interest in the game.

B．Her main interests are music and tennis.

C．You can find many places of interest in Guangzhou.

D．The law was made to protect the interests of the local people.

【2】According to the writer, what should be the first step to build a better city?

A．We should be able to avoid traffic jams.

B．Companies should take care of their business interests.

C．Companies should develop more technological products.

D．City planners must think about a better life for their people.

【3】Why does the writer use “rethinking” in the title?

A．We should have more ideas for smarter cities.

B．Better cities are more necessary than smarter ones.

C．Bicycles will make city lives more enjoyable than smart cars.

D．Companies should think of more solutions for their own problems.

23、

Last year, I moved from London to the African grasslands because my husband Robin took a new job there. Robin was able to work, but the language barrier(障碍) didn’t allow me to do so. With few people around our home, I felt bored. I turned to nature and learned about many kinds of local birds.

One morning in September, after a bad rainstorm, I found a baby bird on the ground outside of our home. His eyes were closed and he was shaking. The poor little thing had been left behind by his flock(鸟群). Clearly, he was too young to be able to live on his own. I placed him in a cardboard box. I stayed up all night that day to study how to care for him.

The next day, he woke with his mouth wide-open with a sharp hunger call. I fed him termites(白蚁) and chirped(叽喳叫) at him. He chirped back, jumped into my hand and then fell asleep in my hand. To him, I was mama bird. ①

For the 84 days, the cute little thing lived on me. Wherever I went, he would fly alongside me. He would make short flights from my hand to my head and then slide down my long hair to rest again. I never named him because he didn’t belong to me—I had to tell myself again and again that he needed to return to the wild. ②

Day by day, he was stronger, more confident and flying farther from me. His flock had returned to the grasslands. ③

Before I flew back to England in November for the holiday season, Robin and I had decided that he should be allowed outside to fly daily. Robin took him out to the flock three times. On the fourth day, the bird flew away with them. ④

When I returned, in January, I would watch out for him whenever birds flew past. Every one seemed to be him but no one was him. I would still cry when I thought of him. I wrote our story into a book, Fledgling. That, along with the lesson that any tiny animal can make a difference, will make me remember him forever.

【1】The writer learned about many different local birds because ________.

A．it was her job to study birds

B．her husband told her to do so

C．she had nothing else interesting to do

D．she wanted to look after the baby bird

【2】The writer didn’t name the bird because ________.

A．she thought it strange to name a bird

B．she could not think of a suitable name

C．she knew the bird would fly back to the wild in the end

D．she was sure that birds could not understand human language

【3】Where can we put “It was time for him to go.” most properly?

A．①

B．②

C．③

D．④

【4】According to the article, after the bird returned to the wild, the writer ________.

A．never met it again

B．never returned to Africa

C．was still seeing it every day

D．decided to never leave Africa again

【5】What can be the best title for the passage?

A．My job in Africa

B．Ways to take care of a bird

C．A bird and his flock

D．Eighty-four days with a baby bird

24、阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Last fall, I joined in a four-month program for 【1】 (teenager) in Mountain High School. I went there because hikes, art and fields of corn sounded fun to me.

When I set out in August, I 【2】 (say) goodbye to my parents. “See you in December!”. My parents were worried—I could tell. It was because they knew me so well. They knew that I was shy and I made friends 【3】 (slow). My dad looked worriedly at me and my mom’s voice shook as she said, “You’re going to be just fine, baby girl.”

The 【4】 (one) two weeks were difficult. I made bad small talks at meals, and I cried in the shower. For me, being around people all the time was more tiring than 【5】 five-mile race.

One day during the third week, I spent two hours 【6】 (work) with one of my classmates. We collected (收集) the corn together. My feelings were just like the dark sky. I wanted to be alone. We were quiet at first. 【7】 a few minutes, she asked, “Where are you from?” I answered it. Then half an hour passed, “How many brothers or sisters do you have?” she asked the second question and I answered that again. Then I didn’t know what to say to her. Finally, my classmate said the three magic words in the English language: I LOVE READING. Soon I found 【8】 (I) talking about books I enjoyed reading. I started to relax. During these two hours, a few “bricks (砖)” fell down from my wall of shyness. Then, a few more fell. I started to have a try. The “bricks” fell 【9】 fell.

By the end of the program, I was quite different. I ran through the dining hall. I jumped on the chairs. I sang and I made friends.

That was the wonderful thing about a comfort zone (舒适区). However, once you are out of it, it doesn’t take long 【10】 (find) a new field. When I arrived, people were tired of me. When I left, I couldn’t stand leaving them.
