高中二年级课后拓展训练(英语第10章含解析)第十章The fiddler crab (蟹) is a living clock. It indicates(=shows) the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty—four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm (节奏) of the sun.Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun’s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight, the crab’s skin colour continued to change exactly on time.This characteristic (特性) probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regulated (受控制) inside the living body of the crab.The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides (潮水). The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was cought!27. The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes colour ______.A in a regular 24—hour rhythm B. in answer to the sun’s raysC. at low tideD. every fifty minutes28. The crab’s changing colour ______.A. tells the crab what time it isB. protects the crab from the sunlight and enemiesC. keeps the crab warmD. is of no real use29. When the fiddler crabs were kept in the dark , they ______.A. did not change colourB. changed colour more quicklyC. changed colour more slowlyD. changed colour on the same timetable30. The crab’s colour—changing ability was probably developed ______.A. in the process of evolution (进化)B. over millions of yearsC. by the work of biologistsD. both A and B31. The best title for this selection would be ______.A. The Sun and the TidesB. Discoveries in BiologyC. A scientific StudyD. A Living ClockDFebruary has long been a month of romance. With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage.But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said thatValentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of history’s most romantic characters.Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine’s cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.32. Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country?A. Because there were few women in his country at that time.B. Because he thought men without wives could be better soldiers.C.Because there wasn’t enough food for so many people.D.

Valentine was put into prison because ______.A. he killed one of the soldiersB.he stole a lot of foodC. he didn’t obey the emperor’s orderD. he didn’t want to be a soldier34. The last paragraph mainly tells us ______.A. students in China send cards to their teachersB. it is a good idea to celebrate Valentine’s Day in ChinaC. it is interesting to celebrate Valentine’s Day in ChinaD. Valentine’s Day is also popular in China now35. The best title for this passage should be ______.A. Valentine’s DayB. A Brave PriestC. Valentine’s Day in ChinaD.
