3．（10分）In nature，you may see many insects and animals of different colors.Have you ever wondered why？
Locusts（蝗虫） are super delicious food for birds，but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them.It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies.The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops（庄稼）.When crops are young，locusts look green.But when autumn comes，locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.
Brown bears，tigers and other animals move quietly through forests.They can't be seen easily by their enemies.This is because they have colors similar to the trees.For the same reason，polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white.Butterflies（蝴蝶） and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers.Soil（土壤） insects are mostly dark﹣colored and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment.However，insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others.So in order to survive，they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.
Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts？The ink（墨汁） fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger.As the ink spreads over，its enemies will find themselves in a dark world.At the same time the ink fish quickly swims away.That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.
（1）Why is it not easy for birds to catch locusts？
A.Because locusts run quickly.
B.Because locusts are intelligent.
C.Because locusts can change their colors.
（2）What does the underlined word "survive"mean in Paragraph 3？
A.觅食
B.生存
C.繁殖

Something made me think of you and what you did that night at the cafe in Bondi.I handed the young man the money he needed.He was deeply touched and asked，"But why would you do this for me？"I just smiled and said，"Thanks to my son.I want to help more people and be a better person just like him!" Thank you，my son.I've learnt that it's better to give than to receive.Now when I see a five﹣cent coin on the ground and want to pick it up，I think of you and leave it there because I believe some kids will get excited to find it.

3．（10分）In nature，you may see many insects and animals of different colors.Have you ever wondered why？
Locusts（蝗虫） are super delicious food for birds，but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them.It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies.The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops（庄稼）.When crops are young，locusts look green.But when autumn comes，locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.
Brown bears，tigers and other animals move quietly through forests.They can't be seen easily by their enemies.This is because they have colors similar to the trees.For the same reason，polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white.Butterflies（蝴蝶） and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers.Soil（土壤） insects are mostly dark﹣colored and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment.However，insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others.So in order to survive，they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.
Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts？The ink（墨汁） fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger.As the ink spreads over，its enemies will find themselves in a dark world.At the same time the ink fish quickly swims away.That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.

【分析】这篇文章主要讲述了动物和昆虫的颜色变化与其生存环境的关系。例如，蝗虫的颜色会随着作物的颜色变化，棕熊和老虎等动物的颜色与树木相似，使它们在森林中不易被敌人发现。而生活在雪地和冰上的北极熊是白色的，生活在花丛中的蝴蝶和蜜蜂颜色丰富。此外，文章还提到了一些动物采取的特殊防御措施，如海洋中的乌贼会在面临危险时喷出墨汁以混淆敌人并迅速逃跑。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies.The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops（庄稼）.（这既不是因为蝗虫擅长跳跃或奔跑，也不是因为它们比它们的敌人聪明。原因是蝗虫的颜色随着农作物的颜色而变化。）可知是因为蝗虫的颜色随着农作物的颜色而变化。故选C。
（2）词义猜测题。根据后文they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.（他们不得不在白天隐藏自己，只在晚上出现。）可推知此处意为"为了生存"，所以划线词意为"生存"。故选B。
（3）细节理解题。根据第三段Butterflies（蝴蝶） and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers.（生活在花丛中的蝴蝶和蜜蜂像花一样五彩缤纷。）可知蝴蝶和蜜蜂可以安全地生活在花丛中，因为它们色彩斑斓。故选C。
（4）推理判断题。根据第三段Soil（土壤） insects are mostly dark﹣colored and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment.However，insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others.So in order to survive，they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.（土壤昆虫大多是深色的，它们生活在黑暗潮湿的土壤下。然而，颜色与植物不同的昆虫很容易被别人发现并吃掉。所以为了生存，他们不得不在白天隐藏自己，只在晚上出现。）可推知土壤昆虫可能不容易被它们的敌人发现。故选B。
（5）标题归纳题。根据第一段In nature，you may see many insects and animals of different colors.Have you ever wondered why？（在自然界，你可能会看到许多不同颜色的昆虫和动物。你有没有想过为什么？）及全文可知这篇文章主要讲述了动物和昆虫的颜色变化与其生存环境的关系。所以B项最适合做文章标题。故选B。
【点评】在通读全文的基础上，根据全文大意，展开逻辑思维，瞻前顾后，认真辨析选项，仔细推敲，确定最佳答案。

Dear son， I want to thank you for teaching me a very valuable lesson in life by the great example you set.When we were eating at that cafe in Bondi and a person who had ordered his hamburger didn't have enough money to pay for it.Without thinking twice，you went over and put ＄2 into his hand. When we were leaving，you also threw a five﹣cent coin onto the road and said something like，"Some kids will really enjoy finding it." Last week，a young man ahead of me in the line at a petrol（汽油） station didn't have enough money to pay for his petrol.I asked the money collector，"How much money is he short of？"She told me he had planned to ＄15 petrol in his car but he had been looking at the wrong gauge（计量表）.As a result，he had put in 15 liters（升） and cost ＄20.This is an easy mistake as both gaugesrun fast. Something made me think of you and what you did that night at the cafe in Bondi.I handed the young man the money he needed.He was deeply touched and asked，"But why would you do this for me？"I just smiled and said，"Thanks to my son.I want to help more people and be a better person just like him!" Thank you，my son.I've learnt that it's better to give than to receive.Now when I see a five﹣cent coin on the ground and want to pick it up，I think of you and leave it there because I believe some kids will get excited to find it.

8．（10分）It is believed that chopsticks were developed over 5，000 years ago in China.In the Spring and Autumn Period，the （1） earliest （early） metal chopsticks appeared.Today，chopsticks （2） are made （make） of different materials.
In ancient times， （3） the rich usually used hard green stone or gold chopsticks for showing their wealth.It was said that silver chopsticks would turn black if they touched poisoned（有毒的） food（but we know it was wrong today），so in history many kings used them to see whether the food was bad （4） for them or not.
In China，chopsticks are given to a daughter when she marries to hope that they （5） will have （have） a child very soon，because the word in Chinese is pronounced like "quick child".People often believe chopsticks mean good luck. （6） So on the first day of a new year，many families will put new chopsticks on the table at dinner，wishing good luck.
It's believed that using chopsticks at dinner （7） is （be） very helpful.It makes your fingers do everything （8） freely （free）.People do it （9） to improve （improve） memory，too.Now many westerners put the knives and forks beside their bowls and （10） dishes （dish） but choose chopsticks in China.
【分析】这篇文章主要讲述了筷子的历史和文化。筷子起源于5000年前的中国，早在春秋时期就有了金属筷子。古代富人常用硬绿石或金筷子来炫耀财富，甚至有人相信银筷子会在接触有毒食物时变黑。在中国，筷子被赋予了许多象征意义，如婚礼上赠送筷子寓意早生贵子，新年第一天家庭会摆上新筷子祈求好运。此外，使用筷子也被认为有助于锻炼手指灵活性和提高记忆力，现在许多西方人也开始在中国选择使用筷子。
【解答】（1）考查形容词最高级。句意：春秋时期，出现了最早的金属筷子。根据In the Spring and Autumn Period，（在春秋时期）可知，出现了最早的金属筷子，early的最高级为the earliest，故填earliest。
（2）考查主谓一致。句意：今天，筷子由不同的材料制成。根据today可知用一般现在时，主语是chopsticks，谓语动词用复数形式，故填are。
（3）考查冠词。句意：在古代，富人通常使用坚硬的绿色石头或金筷子来显示他们的财富。考查the加形容词表示一类人，the rich意为"富人"，故填the。
（4）考查介词。句意：据说银筷子如果碰到有毒的食物会变黑（但我们今天知道这是错误的），所以历史上许多皇帝用它们来看食物是否对他们有害。考查短语be bad for对...有害，故填for。
（5）考查动词的时态。句意：在中国，当女儿结婚时，会给她筷子，希望他们很快会有一个孩子，因为这个词在中文里读起来像"快子"。根据chopsticks are given to a daughter（给她筷子）可知，希望将会很快有孩子，表示将来时，用will have，故填will have。
（6）考查连词。句意：所以在新年的第一天，许多家庭会在晚餐时把新筷子放在桌子上，祝好运。根据People often believe chopsticks mean good luck.（人们通常认为筷子意味着好运。）可知，因此在新年第一天，把新筷子放在桌子上，放在句首，用大写，故填So。
（7）考查主谓一致。句意：人们认为在晚餐时使用筷子非常有帮助。根据It's believed that可知，用一般现在时，主语是it，所以谓语动词be用is，故填is。
（8）考查副词。句意：它让你的手指自由地做任何事情。freely是副词，意为"自由地"，用来修饰动词do，故填freely。
（9）考查不定式。句意：人们也用它来提高记忆力。根据People do it（人们用它）可知，表示目的，为了提高记忆力，故填to improve。
（10）考查名词复数。句意：现在许多西方人把刀叉放在碗和盘子旁边，而在中国却选择筷子。根据their bowls（他们碗）可知，后面盘子也用复数形式，dish的复数为dish，故填dishes。
【点评】语法填空题要根据上下文语境，运用语法和词汇知识，反复推敲以求得解答。对于同义词和近义词的选项，在充分考虑到上下文具体语境下特别注意这些同义词和近义词搭配。
