Birds, especially seagulls are very fond of locusts, but birds can’t easily catch locusts because locusts change their colors together with the change of the color of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves, bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the color much like the barks(树皮) of trees.
An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is over, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.

A.the change of color in locusts |

The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. So they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations (翻译) of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.
The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables (音节), they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check these in a dictionary.
小题1:Students who never use dictionary speak well but write poor, because_______
A.They can’t remember words. |
B.They may make mistakes. |
C.They are not interested in writing. |
D.They are afraid of writing. |
A.Students who never use dictionary can speak well and write well. |
B.Whatever new words you meet while reading, just look them up in the dictionary. |
C.Small two-language dictionaries are bad for learning English. |
D.An English word only has one translation. |
A.At the beginning of the reading |
B.At the end of the reading |
C.During the first reading |
D.After the first reading |
A.that students shouldn’t use small two-language dictionaries |
B.what were the defects (缺点) of small two-language dictionaries |
C.why students should use large college edition dictionaries |
D.what dictionary students should choose and how to use it |
A.How to make good use of a dictionary. |
B.When to use a dictionary. |
C.How to improve spoken English. |

Some people learn a second language easily. Others have trouble learning a new language. How can you help yourself learn a new language, such as English? There are several ways to make learning English a little easier and more interesting.
The first step is to feel positive about learning English. If you believe that you can learn, you will learn. Be patient. You do not have to understand everything all at once. It is natural to make mistakes when you learn something new. We can learn from our mistakes. In other words, do not worry about taking risks.
The second step is to practice your English. For example, write a diary every day. You will get used to writing it in English, and you will feel comfortable expressing your ideas in English. Several weeks later, you will see that your writing is improving. In addition, you must speak English every day. You can practice with your classmates outside class. You will all make mistakes, but gradually you will become comfortable communicating in English.
The third step is to keep a record of your language learning. You can write this in your journal. After each class, think about what you did. Did you answer a question correctly? Did you understand something the teacher explained? Perhaps the lesson was difficult, but you tried to understand it.
You must be positive about learning English and believe that you can do it. It is important to practice every day and make a record of your achievements. You will enjoy learning English, and you will feel more confident in yourself.

The damage an earthquake causes depends on where it is and the time it is happening. If an unpopulated region is struck, there will be low loss of life or property. If it hits a large city, there may be many in-juries and much destruction. Many of the areas at risk are largely populated now. Major earthquakes hitting those areas today could produce terrible damage.
Actually, there are several million small earth-quakes every year. Large earthquakes such as the 1964 Alaskan quake that measured 9.2 on the Richter scale, cause millions of dollars in damage. In the last 500 years, millions of people have been killed by earth-quakes around the world — including 240,000 in the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in China.
A 60-second or less earthquake can cause devastation that continues for years after the first tremor (小震). In 1972, a series of severe earthquakes struck Managua, Nicaragua. Fifteen years later, the city still looked the way it had a week after the earthquake hit, because the country did not have the necessary money to rebuild it.
The shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster. It is in the ensuing fires and floods that often the greatest damage occurs. In the 1906 earthquake, it was the fires caused after it that did the majority of the damage. An earthquake can also destroy dams high above a city or valleys, causing floods to sweep down and sweep away everything in their path.
小题1:Which of the following is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.An earthquake comes from inside the earth. |
B.The earth has great energy in storage. |
C.How the earth plates move. |
D.How an earthquake happens. |
A.Three. | B.Four. | C.Five. | D.Six. |
A.The 1964 Alaskan quake. |
B.The 1976 Tangshan earthquake. |
C.The 1972 Managua earthquake. |
D.The 1906 earthquake. |
A.causing too much heat and great damage |
B.causing many injuries and much destruction |
C.happening as a result of another event |
D.happening suddenly and unexpectedly |
A.an earthquake doesn’t last long |
B.the damage can last long |
C.people in Managua suffered too much |
D.Nicaragua is still a poor country |
A crowd of shuttle workers, reporters and schoolchildren waited to greet Discovery at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Three minutes before noon, they watched as the shuttle appeared in the sky and made one last touchdown. “For the final time: wheels stop,” Discovery’s commander Steven Lindsey said when the shuttle rolled to a stop.
Discovery’s final trip was to the International Space Station (ISS), a giant space lab in the sky. Discovery’s crew took care of the last U.S. construction project at ISS. They delivered 10 tons of supplies for the ISS. The six-person crew also dropped off an unusual companion for ISS’s researchers: a human-like robot named Robonaut 2. Astronauts will assemble(组装)R2 at the ISS over several months.
Now, NASA is winding down its shuttle programme. NASA is to begin work on new spaceships that can travel longer distances. Discovery’s retirement is the first of three. Endeavor, another shuttle, is scheduled to make its final voyage soon. And Atlantis’s last trip is planned for the end of June.
Museums across the country have requested the retired shuttles. The Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum, in Washington, D.C., was the lucky recipient(接收者)of Discovery. The museum’s collection contains hundreds of NASA artifacts.
Where will the other shuttles go? You’ll have to wait to find out. NASA will announce its decision on April 12, the 30th anniversary of the first space shuttle launching. Stay tuned!
小题1:As part of the final mission, Discovery’s crew___________.
A.carried researches to space |
B.assembled the Robonaut 2 at the ISS |
C.brought supplies to the ISS |
D.went on a spacewalk |
A.improving | B.ending | C.changing | D.testing |
A.Discovery completed 39 missions during its two decades of space travel. |
B.The ISS is a big project and six researchers live on the station. |
C.American space exploration will focus on longer missions. |
D.The shuttles Endeavor and Atlantis will make their last missions next month. |
A.people’s opinions of Discovery’s retirement |
B.the government’s concern about the shuttles’ future |
C.the shuttles’ final homes after retirement |
D.museums’ great interest in the retired shuttles |
Hong Kong once prided herself on being the “Fragrant Harbour”. However, these days, it is not certain if Hong Kong’s harbour could still be called “fragrant”. For, like many other places, Hong Kong has not been spared water pollution. A visit to Tolo and Victoria Harbour, or any of the beaches in Hong Kong is enough to make one aware of the ugly truth that Hong Kong waters are indeed polluted.
The great threat to our water is bacteria pollution. Another great source of water pollution is poisonous chemicals. These substances, which are found in industrial waste and agricultural pesticides, make up unseen dangers that enter biological food chains.
Pollution control is a continuing problem for the government. It is believed that the most effective form of control is legislation(立法). Most importantly, the present laws on pollution should be given more force. On the other hand, no amount of legislation can effectively control pollution unless those concerned are properly educated about the danger posed by pollution.
While a great majority of Hong Kong citizens and residents seem to be greatly concerned about ways to control water pollution, it is discouraging to note that there are, in our midst, some people who remain apathetic(无动于衷)about the problem. In a recent radio programme conducted on what people in the streets thought about the water pollution problem, one apparently unconcerned person said, “What do I care about water pollution? I don’t drink polluted water. As long as the water I drink is not polluted, I’m not bothered. Water pollution is too big a problem and let’s leave it to the government.”
If all residents in Hong Kong will take such an indifferent attitude, all the government’s attempts to control pollution, let alone the anti-pollution legislation, will prove useless. The best form of pollution control each citizen can employ is to be aware of his surroundings. We hope that someday, the problem of water pollution in Hong Kong will cease to alarm us.
小题1:By the underlined sentences, the writer wants to show that ______.
A.we should not use polluted water |
B.it is our responsibility to keep our water clean and safe |
C.clean water is vitally important to the survival of human beings |
D.water is abundant but very expensive |
A.Hong Kong indeed deserves the name. |
B.Hong Kong never deserves such a name. |
C.Hong Kong can’t avoid the damage of pollution. |
D.Hong Kong has failed to live up to such reputation. |
A.people’s lack of education |
B.people’s I-don’t-care attitude |
C.people’s wait-and-see attitude |
D.people’s over-dependence on the government |
A.legislation |
B.rapid development of modern science |
C.mass education |
D.everybody taking care of his own surroundings |
