题目内容
Do you know why different animals or insects have their special colors? Colors are used mainly to protect themselves.
Why can’t some birds easily catch locusts（蝗虫）? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as autumn comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other insects with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives in the day and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals can’t be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colors much like the trees.
Have you ever noticed an even more strange thing? A kind of fish in the sea can send out black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies can’t find it. And it quickly swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.

2.B 根据So they have to hide themselves for lives in the day and appear only at night.可知他们白天把自己隐藏起来，只在晚上出现，故选B。
3.D 根据because they have the colors much like the trees可知熊和狮子的颜色像树的颜色，也就是说他们的颜色相似，选D。
4.C 本题是猜词题，要联系上下文来看。根据While the liquid spreads over, its enemies can’t find it可知能在水中扩散让敌人不找不到他们的的是一种液体，也就是我们说的乌贼，选C。
5. C 主旨大意题的考查，文章主要讲的是动物和昆虫的颜色的改变，通过改变颜色他们能有效地保护自己，故C最佳。A,B只是文章提到了一个方面，D的植物变色文章未讲到。
阅读快车系列答案Long, long ago there was a very foolish thief. Do you know what he did one day? When he wanted to steal (偷) the bell on his neighbor’s door, he walked up to the door, took hold of (抓住) the bell and pulled hard. The bell made a very loud noise. The thief was afraid and went home.
