The passage is mainly about how insects .

Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Jerry was a unique restaurant manager. He was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.Jerry once said to me, "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the useless things, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live life".Later I quit working for Jerry and started my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Recently, I heard that Jerry was shot in his restaurant by three robbers and was severely wounded. He was immediately rushed to the local hospital. After an 18-hour medical operation and weeks of intensive care, Jerry eventually survived. When we met, I asked him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place."The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,"Jerry replied."Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered I had two choices: to live, or to die. I chose to live. When they wheeled me into the emergency room(急诊室) and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, 'He's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action.""What did you do then?" I asked."Well, there was a big nurse shouting questions at me, "said Jerry. " She asked if I was allergic(过敏的) to anything.‘Yes,'Isid. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and cried out,‘Bullets (子弹)!’While they were laughing, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead. '"Jerry lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his healthy attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.

Insects take camouflage mainly to .

A disguise works only when an insect remains .

The passage is mainly about .

Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Some insects imitate other insects or creatures. If a harmless insect looks like a harmful insect or creature, predators stay away. Result: The insect escapes being eaten, and so it survives.This works the other way, too. A harmful insect can look like a harmless one and surprise its prey. Result: The harmful insect gets food to eat, and so it survives.Some insects have coloring or patterns that enable them to mix well with a background. This is called camouflage(伪装). It helps an insect to look like other things around it. That way it is hard for other insects or creatures to see the insect. You must look very carefully to find a camouflaged insect. A camouflaged insect seems to be almost invisible.Camouflage can be helpful in two ways. A camouflaged predator can surprise the insect that it is hunting for food. Or a camouflaged prey becomes almost invisible, and its predator will not see it and attack it.Some insects look like other things in nature, such as twigs(树枝)or leaves. This appearance is called a disguise(掩饰). For a disguise to work, the insect stays very still for hours at a time.There are many more insects that have such adaptations. Some insects look like dead leaves, tree bark (the outer covering of a tree), beautiful flowers,or something else in nature. These disguises are critical to their survival.

26. According to the passage, which of the following is a predator?

A"prey"(para. 2) is an animal that .

People enjoyed music in the 1700s in the U.S. by .

We learn from the passage that slaves in the southern states .

Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.In the 1700s, the southern states now known as Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas were planting fields of cotton to try to meet the clothing needs of a growing nation. More cotton was being grown than there were people to work the fields.Slaves were brought by force from their homelands to help plant and harvest the cotton. Slaves were people who were considered property, so they worked without being paid and often received little food or personal comforts.Many of the slaves in the southern United States created songs to pass the time as they worked in the fields or when they had time off. Most of these songs expressed their longing for their homelands, their beliefs, or their feelings about the poor conditions in which they lived and worked. From these songs of sadness grew the music known as the blues.The only way to hear music in the 1700s and through the mid-1800s was to hear a live performance, so blues music stayed largely in the South. Then, in the 1870s, came the invention of the phonograph(留声机). The phonograph brought blues from the backyards and fields of a few people into the living rooms of many.With the invention of the phonograph, blues music spread. Record companies discovered that people would pay money to buy blues music for their phonographs. The record companies started searching for more blues music. As the music became popular, more people learned how to play and to sing the blues.
