Question

In nature, you may see many insects and animals of different colors. Have you ever wondered why?
Locusts （蝗蟲(chóng)）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（敵人）. The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops （莊稼）. 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 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（行為）? The ink 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 immediately swims away. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all

試題分析：自然界有許多昆蟲(chóng)和動(dòng)物都有不同的顏色。本文以蝗蟲(chóng)、棕熊、老虎、北極熊、蝴蝶和土壤昆蟲(chóng)為例敘述了動(dòng)物的保護(hù)色，并且介紹了墨魚(yú)保護(hù)自己的方式。
1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù) “Soil insects are mostly dark-colored”可知土壤昆蟲(chóng)大多數(shù)顏色不明亮。故選A。
2.詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)后半句 “they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.”他們白天隱藏起來(lái)晚上出現(xiàn)，可知這是為了不被發(fā)現(xiàn)而吃掉，也就是為了生存。故選D。
3.主旨大意題。根據(jù)本文主要敘述的是昆蟲(chóng)和動(dòng)物的保護(hù)色，可知選C。
考點(diǎn)：科普類閱讀。
