Dear editor (编辑) ，

I live in a beautiful city Many visitors come to my city there are so many colorful peacocks (孔雀) here

The peacocks mostly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square

They are given food freely by visitors They usually throw food to them , and don’t think about at all whether the food is right or not Some of the peacocks became ill , some even died after eating the bad food given by the visitors

I’m sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds , but don’t realize (意识到) that they may be doing them harm (伤害)

The visitors should be told that what have done is very harmful to the birds , and this kind of thing must be stopped from happening

Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food For us every person , it’s our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully

Yours,

Sun Yan

We know mosquitoes very well Mosquitoes fly everywhere They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them

No one likes the mosquito But the mosquito may decide if she loves you She Yes, she The male mosquito doesn’t bite! Only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite If she likes what she finds, she bites But if she doesn’t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen You’re different from the others!

If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different After she bites, you will have an itch(痒) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood When the itch begins, she has flown away

And then what happens Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired She wants to find a place to have a good rest There, in a tree or on a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs

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(庄稼) When crops are green, locusts look green But as the harvest (收获)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(敌人) cannot find it And it immediately swims away So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all

( )56From 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

( )57How can pests with different colours from plants keep out of danger

A They run away quickly

B They have the colours much like their enemies

C They hide themselves by day and appear at night

D They have to move quietly

( )58Bears 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

( )59Why can the kind of fish live up to now

A Because it is very big and strong

Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies

B Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies

C Because it swims faster than any other fish

( )60Which is the best title for this passage
