24、Do you know why different animals or pests（害虫） 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 their enemies (敌人). 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 seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the tree.

Have you ever noticed an even stranger 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, the enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it isn’t strong at all.

A. are small animals

There is a festival in China that has three names. It’s known as the Chongyang Festival. Also, it is called the Double Ninth Festival because it falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar(阴历). Finally it has been Senior’s Day(老人节) since1989. This year, it will fall on Oct 25.

There are many traditions for this festival. In the past, people climbed mountains, drank chrysanthemum(菊花) wine, and wore a plant called zhuyu to celebrate it. Climbing mountains in autumn brings people close to nature and it’s good for health. Both chrysanthemum and zhuyu are also clean plants and they can clean houses and make people healthy.

In China, nine has the similar pronunciation with the word “forever”, meaning long life. So the Chinese government set the day as the Senior’s Day in 1989—a day to respect the old. Many companies and communities organize autumn trips for old people. Young people bring elders to the countryside to enjoy nature. They also give them gifts.

In China, it is a tradition to respect old people. In the past, if young people didn’t take good care of their parents, they would be seriously punished. Now we have the 24 Filial Exemplars (《新二十四孝》). It includes 24 things we should do for elders, such as calling them up every week and going to see them more often. On this three-named festival, remember to show your love to your elders.

27、Michael Faraday was one of the most famous scientists in history, and is known as "Father of Electricity". He discovered electromagnetic rotation, benzene, electromagnetic induction, etc. Without the work of this British scientist, many of the things we live with, such as computers, fridges, wouldn't be here.

Faraday's achievements seem more wonderful when we realize that he had very little schooling. He was born in 1791 in London. His father was too poor to send him to school. So the boy went to work at a bookstore, where he became interested in books on science.

One day young Faraday attended a lecture（讲座）given by a famous scientist, Sir Hump Davy.

Faraday took very careful notes at the lecture. Back at the bookstore he made diagrams（图表）to explain what Davy had said. Then he made the notes and diagrams into a book and sent it to the great scientist. In a letter he also told Davy that he was very interested in science.

Faraday received the excitement of his life when, on the day before Christmas in 1812, a postman came to the bookstore with a note asking him to call on Davy the next day. As a result of that visit, Faraday became an assistant（助手）in Davy's laboratory. At first, Faraday only washed chemistry glassware and kept the laboratory clean, but later he was given more important work to do. It was in Davy's laboratory that Faraday received the training that enabled him to become one of the world's greatest scientists.

【1】How many of Faraday's discoveries are mentioned?

A．2

B．3

C．4

D．5

【2】Faraday showed interest in science ________.

A．when he was at school

B．before he went to school

C．as he was working at a bookstore

D．after he listened to Davy's lecture

【3】On Christmas in 1812, ________.

A．Faraday paid a visit to Davy

B．Faraday became a teacher

C．Faraday got a book from Davy

D．Faraday made a present for Davy

【4】From Faraday's experience of working in Davy's laboratory, we can infer that ________.

A．Faraday was a tidy person

B．Faraday was a slow learner

C．Davy pushed Faraday too hard

D．Davy was pleased with Faraday

【5】Which would be the best title for the passage?

A．A Great Friendship.

B．Father of Electricity.

C．A Life-changing Visit.

D．The Most Important Discovery.

28、从方框所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，补全短文。其中一项为多余选项。

Hundreds of years ago, life was harder than it is today. 【1】 . There was no modern medicine, either.

Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. 【2】   .Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution to all living things in the world. Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt (被状物) over a city. 【3】   .

Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, and they mustn’t let dirty smoke go into the air.

We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and do not throw them on the ground. 【4】   . If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.

【5】 . Every person must help to fight pollution.
