　　Some animals and insects(昆虫)use camouflage that is, they change color so that it is the same as the color of the tree or plant on which they are sitting. Others have developed a color thousands of years which is like the color of their living place.

　　One of the second kind is the Peppered Moth, which is found in England. It is light brown in color, and likes to rest on trees which are also light brown. This makes the moth difficult to be seen. It means that birds are less likely to see it and eat it.

　　But, about sixty years ago, smoke from factories began to reach some of the trees where the moth rested. It made the trees blacker. This meant that the moth become easier to see.

A man found a cocoon of a moth. He took it home so that he could    31   the moth come out of the cocoon. On that day a small    32   appeared, he sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to    33   the body through that little hole.
Soon it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had    34  as far as it could and it could go no farther. It just seemed to be stuck. So the man, out of his kindness, decided to help the moth. He took a pair of scissors and cut off the    35   bit of the cocoon. The    36   then came out easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriven（无用的） wings. The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and    37   to be able to support the    38  , which would get smaller in time. Neither happened! In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life    39   around with a small, swollen body and shriveled wings. It was    40   able to fly.
What the man in his kindness    41    was that the small cocoon and the    42   of the moth to get through the    43   opening was a way to push fluid(液体)   44   the body of moth 45   its wings so that it would be ready to fly    46   it got out of the cocoon. Freedom and 47   would come only after the struggle. By taking the moth of a struggle away, he also took away the moth’s health.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to    48   our lives without any difficulties, we would be disabled. We would not be as    49   as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for    50  .

Four decades ago a group of college students visited the mountains of Borneo to examine moth (蛾) populations. Now a team of British scientists, including a member of the original trip, has returned to the same sites to repeat the survey. They have found that, due to rising temperatures, the insects now live 68 meters higher.
Global warming is forcing tropical (热带的) species uphill to escape the rising temperatures at a rate of nearly 2 meters a year, the new study from Borneo suggests.
Since this was the only chance to repeat the original survey, the scientist did everything they could to do it exactly the same way, going at the same time of year, in July and August, using photographs to find the exact original sites of the moth traps.
"While this is the first study of insects, a few other studies of tropical species are starting to appear," said Thomas. "If you look across all those studies, you’ll find the same results, and it’s extremely difficult to think of any other explanation for them."
While some species might survive by finding places on the mountains with temperatures similar to those of their original habitats, others may run out of habitat on the rocky peaks, warns the study.
In a paper in the journal Naturein 2004, Thomas and 13 other experts analyzed the habitats of 1,100 species on five continents, and estimated that on average one quarter were at risk of extinction.
Last year a paper published in the Public Library of Science in the US warned that the risk of extinction in the tropics was becoming more and more serious. The authors, Jana and Steven Vamosi, estimated that 20-45% of tropical species were at risk of extinction.
【小题1】If the temperature continues to rise at the same rate for ten years, the insects will live about ______.

A．6.8 meters higher	B．19 meters higher
C．34 meters higher	D．68 meters higher

【小题2】What’s the problem for some species moving up mountains?

A．There’ll be too little space.

B．The temperature will be much too low.

C．They will be at greater risk of extinction.

D．They’ll find it hard to adapt to the environment.

【小题3】We can learn from the passage that ______.

A．this survey of moths has been carried out many times

B．some scientists have put forward other explanations for the results

C．scientists tried to repeat the original survey

D．20-45% of tropical species were estimated to be at risk of extinction in 2004

【小题4】Which of the following has been mainly discussed in the passage?

A．Climate change forcing moths higher.

B．Protecting moths from extinction.

C．How to research tropical moths.

D．How to study moths living on mountains.
