Do you know why different animals or pests（昆虫）have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts（蝗虫）, but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours 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'll find the main use of colouring 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 colours much like the trees.
Have you ever found an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very
black liquid（液体）when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over（散开）, 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 learn that locusts ______.
A.are small animals
B.are easily found by birds
C.are dangerous to their enemies
D.change their colours to protect themselves
（2）Bears and lions can keep safe because ______.
A.they have the colours much like the trees
B.they move quietly
C.they like brown and grey colours
D.they live in forests
（3）Why can the kind of fish live up to now?
A.Because it is very big and strong.
B.Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies.
C.Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.
D.Because it swims faster than any other fish.
（4）Which is the best title for this passage?
A.The Change of Colours for Animals and Pests
B.Colours of Different Animals and Pests
C.The Main Use of Colours for Animals and Pests
D.Some Animals and Pests

My grandpa was always a quiet, shy and caring man. He loved to take care of people, especially my grandma. He loved to garden and work in his wood shop. He grew up on a farm and his father didn't let him go to school. But he was very clever and did not want to be a farmer. So he borrowed books from the library and studied them. And he took things apart to see how they worked. Through self-teaching, he became an electrician（电工）and an inventor. Finally he got a position as an engineer. Near his retirement（退休）, he was given an engineering degree from a university and taught engineering classes there.
After Grandma died, he had a serious heart trouble. I flew across the country to be with him for the last days of his life. My mother（his only child）was abroad and could not get back. So it was just me and my younger sister who were with him in his last days. I sat by his hospital bed and talked with him about life and my childhood. He came from one of the poorest backgrounds I know, and had a life full of hardship. I always said, "Grandpa, you have lived an amazing life." He just smiled.
I love my grandpa. He paid for my college education because he always wished that he could have had one. My house is full of furniture（家具）that he made in his wood shop. He has left so much for me. Now I have his picture on the wall. And I have the memory of those last few days together. He is always there in my heart.

Joe was driving home on a road one evening. He just lost his job. It was winter and it was very cold, just like his feelings.
An old lady with a car was standing on one side of the road. She needed help, but no one stopped to help her. Joe stopped in front of her and got out of the car. The old lady looked very worried. Even when he put a smile on his face, the lady still looked worried. Was he going to hurt her?
Joe knew how she felt. He said, "I'm here to help you, madam. Why don't you wait in my car? By the way, my name is Joe."
The lady thought for a while and then went into his car. There was something wrong with her car. Joe

（3）happened 考查一般过去时。

根据首字母提示可推测句意为：在路上发生了一场交通事故。

设空处应用动词happen“发生”作谓语；又因上文中的last week可知，此处描述的是过去发生的事实，应用一般过去时态，谓语动词应用过去式。

故填happened。

（4）crossing 考查现在分词。

根据首字母提示可推测句意为：突然，司机看到一位老人正在过马路。

cross“穿过”；又因设空处前有was，设空处应用现在分词形式构成过去进行时，表示该动作在过去的某个时刻正在发生。

故填crossing。

（5）died 考查一般过去时。

根据首字母提示可推测句意为：他被撞倒，很快就死了，公共汽车撞上了一棵大树，损坏严重。

die“死亡”；又因为设空处前was knocked可知，此处时态应为一般过去时，设空处动词由and连接与was knocked作并列谓语，应用其过去式。

故填died。
