Hunters do this so that the animals they want to eat don't see them, and run away. And prey animals, such as deer and zebra, use camouflage to avoid being eaten.But why do large cats have such different patterns(图案)? Lions don't have any spots at all, but cheetahs(猎豹) have small black spots and tigers have large black stripes and orange fur.Will Allen at the University of Bristol was interested in this question. He decided to study large cats to find out the reasons for these different patterns. To find out the answer, he also needed to talk to scientists from many different fields, such as psychology, biology, engineering and computer science. Experts from each of these areas of science helped him with his work.His results show that there is a clear connection between patterns and environment. Cats in forests with lots of trees and plants have more complicated (复杂的) patterns than cats which live in areas without lots of trees. And cats that spend more time in trees have more irregular(不规律的) patterns than cats that hunt at night. Will explains that a cat's camouflage depends on where it lives and how it hunts. Evolution(进化) has created the most suitable pattern for each particular hunter. His studies mean we can look at a big cat's fur and predict its habitat and lifestyle.9. According to the passage, _______ don't use camouflage.A. hunters B. prey animals C. experts D. large cats10. According to Will's study, what's between patterns and environment?A. An area. B. A connection. C. An evolution D. A strip.11. What does the underlined word "habitat" in last paragraph mean in Paragraph 4?A. Pattern. B. Spot. C. Camouflage. D. Environment.12. Which statement is TRUE?A. Camouflage makes animals avoid seeing hunters.B. Cheetahs and tigers have similar patterns.C. Will got help from experts from many different fields.D. A cat's camouflage has something to do with its food.四、"Now, can you think what the Mirror of Erised shows us all?" asked Dumbledore.Harry shank his head."Let me explain. The happiest man on earth would be able to use the Mirror of Erised like a normal mirror, that is, he would look into it and see himself exactly as he is. Does that help?"Harry thought. Then he said slowly, "It shawl us what we want... whatever we want...""Yes and no," said Dumbledore quietly. "It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, strongest desire(欲望) of our hearts. You, who have never known your family, see them standing around you. Ronald Weasley, who has always been overshadowed(使黯然失色) by his brothers, sees himself standing alone, the best of all of them. However, this mirror will give us neither knowledge or truth. Men have wasted away before it, entranced(使入迷) by what they have seen, or been driven mad, not knowing if what it shows is real or even possible."The Mirror will be moved to a new home tomorrow, Harry, and I ask you not to go looking for it again. If you ever do run across it, you will now be prepared. It does not do to dwell(总是想着) on dreams and forget to lire, remember that. Now why don't you put that admirable cloak back on and get off to bed?"Harry stood up."Sir—Professor Dumbledore? Can I ask you something?""Obviously, you've just done so," Dumbledore smiled. "You may ask me one more thing, however.""What do you see when you look in the Mirror?""I? I see myself holding a pair of thick, woolen socks."Harry stared."One can never have enough socks," said Dumbledore. "Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn't get a single pair. People will insist on giving me books."It was only when he was back in bed that it struck Harry that Dumbledore might not have been quite truthful. But then, he thought, it had been quite a personal question.—《Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone》13. What might a homeless person see in the Mirror of Erised?A. Nice food. B. A nice house. C.

One weekend we took a train to visit Machu Picchu.What is Machu Picchu? Well, it is the remains of an ancient Inca city. It is on the top of a mountain that overlooks the Urubamba River. It is more than 7,000 feet above sea level! How did we get up that high? We could have hiked the Inca Trail(印加古道)for four days. Instead, we decided to take the train. It runs right along the river. It takes only a few hours. Our guide was a man from the local area. Not only did he provide information about the area, but he worked as our interpreter. Some of the people of Peru speak Quechua, which of course we didn't understand.As we took the train, our guide pointed out unknown plants that grew in the rain forest. The plants which grew near the floor of the rain forest, were so thick that I could hardly imagine trying to get through it back in 1911. That was when Hiram Bingham, started his expedition(探险). We also learned about the animals. There are some dangerous snakes that live there. One bite can kill a person.His trip was well worth it, in my opinion. Machu Picchu was so big and beautiful! There were terraces(梯田)cut into the sides of the mountain, and green was everywhere. We saw where the people lived and where they farmed. The trip was great! 17.

"I have finished my homework and I'm going to paint a picture of our stairs(楼梯). It's for a competition in school tomorrow. ""Do you need any help? "her father asked. "It's almost time for bed. ""I'll be quick, "said Susan. "I wonder what color to use. ""Well, our stairs are brown." said her father. "Thanks, Dad." said Susan.When she finished her picture, Susan began playing with her brush which was still wet. Suddenly, she dropped the brush right on the picture! There in the middle of her picture was a blob(污点)of brown paint! "Oh, Dad! What will I do? "Susan cried. "My picture is ruined." And it's too late to paint another.""Let me see, "said her father. "The blob looks just like a spot on a dog. All you have to do is to draw a dog around the spot! ""That's a wonderful idea! "cried Susan. She drew a dog around the blob of brown paint. "That looks just fine. You know, few things are as bad as they are seen at first. With a little imagination you can turn bad into good." said Susan's father.The next day Susan went to school early. When the competition began, Mr. King said, "I've chosen three pictures, and I want you to say which one you like best." The children did not like the first one. The next picture was on black paper, but the stairs were red. So it was not so good. Then Mr. King showed the third painting. It was Susan's! "The stairs are straight. " said Joe."Yes, and the brown paint shows up well on the white paper. " said Lucy."The little dog seems to belong there." said Terry.The children voted(投票)and Susan's painting won."Susan had a good idea, "Mr. King said. "That little dog finished a good painting.
