Do you know why different animals or pests have their special colors?

Colors 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 colors with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other

pests with different colors 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^l find the main use of coloring 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 colors much like 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 danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies 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 big animals

B.    are easily found by birds

C.    are dangerous to their enemies

D.    change their colors to protect themselves

danger?

(    )4. Why can the fish mentioned in the last paragraph live up to now?

A.    Because it is very strong.

B. Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape.

C. Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.

(    )5. Which could be the best title for the passage?

B 閱讀提示：本文主要介紹顏色是如何對(duì)動(dòng)物起到保護(hù)作用的。

1. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段第三句“It is because locusts change their colors with the change of the colors of crops. ”可知，煌蟲(chóng)能隨著周圍環(huán)境顏色的變化而改變自身的顏色,以達(dá)到自保的目的。

2. C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段最后一句“So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night. ”可知，沒(méi)有保護(hù)色的動(dòng)物只能通過(guò)晝伏夜出的生活方式來(lái)保護(hù)自己。

3. A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段最后一句“This is because they have the colors much like the trees. ”可知，熊與獅子自身的顏色與周圍 樹(shù)木的顏色很像，所以不易被發(fā)現(xiàn)。

4. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后一段可知，這種魚(yú)通過(guò)噴出黑色液體影 響敵人視線來(lái)脫身。

5. C主旨大意題。結(jié)合文章大意可知最佳答案為C項(xiàng)，即顏色對(duì) 于動(dòng)物和昆蟲(chóng)的保護(hù)作用。

    Spending more than two hours a night doing homework leads to better results in English,math and science,according to a major study (by Pam Sammons,England) which has tracked the progress of 3 ,000 children over the past 15 years.

    Spending any time doing homework showed advantages,but the influence was greater for the students who put in two to three hours a night,according to the study published by the Department for Education in England.

    The scientists who did the research say their study emphasizes what students actually do rather than how much work the school has set.

    Pam Sammons,a professor of education at Oxford University,said that time spent on homework showed the influence of the school—if children were expected to do homework and if they enjoyed their subjects. “That's one of the reasons Indian and Chinese children do better. They put more time in it ,” he added 

    It's also reported that students who enjoyed school got better results. “Schools could make sure children had a better experience by improving the school environment,making schoolwork interesting and making children feel supported by teachers,w Sammons said.

     It is suggested that children aged 5 to 7 should be set one-hour homework a week,half an hour a night for 7-to 11-year-olds. Secondary schools were encouraged to set up two hours a night for 14-to 16-year-〇lds.

     “Headteachers should make their own homework policy,” the government says.

   A. In a poster. B. In a magazine.

   A. half an hour   B. an hour

     In China,more and more middle school students are getting shorter sleeping time than before. More students sleep less than nine hours every night,because they have much homework to do. Some homework is given by their teachers,and some by their parents. Also,some students don’t know how to save time. They are not careful enough while they do their homework,so it takes them a lot of time. Some students spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games. They stay up very late. Some students have to get up early every morning on weekdays to get to school on time by bus or by bike. It can be a long way from home to school. It will probably make them sleepy during school hours.
