The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it.Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface, too. Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away. That fish might not be so big after all! It's just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!What's more, in deeper water, colors just don't seem as bright. In fact, it looks as if some colors are missing. Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths （波长）of light that are reflected（反射）from its surface. And light is taken in as it moves down through the water.Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater. Let's take a bright red, yellow, and blue wet suit as an example. These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the changes in color as you descend in the water. The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths, the longest among these three colors, are missing. As you go down deeper, the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater, you will look terrible, like a ghost（鬼怪）! And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again!26. You miss the object underwater when you want to touch it because _______________.A. your eyesight is quite poorB. you are not quick enoughC. it is not as close as it seemsD. it disappears very quickly27. The example of the wet suit is used to explain the change of _______of an object underwater.A. the sizeB. the colorC. the positionD. the weight28. The underlined word "descend" probably means __________ in Chinese in this passage.A. 上升B. 漂浮C. 屏息D. 下潜29. Which of the following is true?A. A four-meter-long fish looks three meters long underwater.B. The wavelengths of red light are longer than those of blue light.C. Much water will be taken in by the swimmer deep in the water.D. You will see a ghost if you go as deep as 6 to 9 meters into the sea.30. The best title of this passage is ____________________________.A. The Standard of Color UnderwaterB. The Direction of Light UnderwaterC. The Brightness of Color UnderwaterD. The Behavior of Light UnderwaterBThe choice of colours for a room's walls and ceiling（天花板）can help you decide whether your design is successful or not. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when planning your home's colours.Bright colours, like blue, yellow and orange, provide an expansive（膨胀的）feeling. These are friendly and happy colours. They can encourage communication and are especially welcome in the dining room and kitchen.Dark colours, such as red and purple, have a constricting（收缩的）and gloomy effect. But when they are used in the right place, they can help create a safe and comfortable feeling.Warm colours, orange and yellow, for example, raise the temperature of a room. For that reason, they're best used in rooms that face north. Warm colours are also active colours, so you'd better not use them in rooms for relaxation, like the bedroom.Cold colours, such as icy blue and green, have a calming effect. They are especially suitable for bedrooms. They help you fall asleep easily in the evening and become energetic when you get up the next morning.Navy blue can make people unwilling to communicate, so do not use it in the living room or the dining room.Red raises the energy level of a room, but it may also make people get angry more easily. Therefore, it's not suitable for a child's room.Grey should not be used in the dining room or kitchen if you want to enjoy your meals.31. What does the underlined word "gloomy" mean in Chinese?A. 忧郁的B. 乐观的C. 舒适的D. 积极的32. ___________ can make us feel safe and comfortable when they are used in a correct way.A. Bright coloursB. Dark coloursC. Warm coloursD. Cold colours33. ______________ can help people keep silent according to the passage?A. YellowB. PurpleC. RedD. Navy blue34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Bright colours are happy and friendly colours.B. Purple sometimes has a gloomy effect.C. A child's room should be painted red.D. Grey is not suitable for dining rooms.35. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How to choose colours when designing rooms.B. Different colours have different meanings.C. Colours are important in our lives.D. Colours influence our moods.CIt came as a real shock（震惊）to find out that my chickens could tell what color they were eating.I picked up a package of mixed greens one day. I anxiously brought it home and immediately took a trip out to the chicken house to deliver（递送）it. I knew the girls would welcome the treat!My chickens have their regular gravity-type feeder for their grain（谷物）and I have a large plastic dog dish that I use for those special treats.I emptied the bag of greens into the dog dish and stood back, as I usually do, to watch for a minute. I began to notice that the chickens were eating the green lettuce(莴苣）but were leaving the red leaves. I thought it must be mistaken, but I didn't have time to find out for sure right then.When I went back a short time later, the dish was empty except for the red leaves. The chickens didn't eat them with the red leaves. It took several hours but they finally did eat it. I guess if they had their druthers（偏爱）, they'd choose for green leaves only. Red leaves only satisfy in the absence of greens.根据短文内容回答问题:36.

What does the word "girls" in the second paragraph mean?____________________________________________________________________________ 38.

What he did against the Nazis is well known, while there are some facts about him that might surprise you.A cigar(雪茄) in the mouth is a sign of Churchill. He developed his love of cigars when he traveled to Cuba as a young man. Later in his life, he smoked eight or nine cigars every day. However, he never really smoked, but held the cigar in his mouth until it went out, and then relighted it.Churchill always had many cigars in his house. The story that best shows his love of cigars took place during the World War Ⅱ, when he made a special oxygen mask(氧气面罩) so that he could still smoke on the plane.In December 1931, Churchill was on a late-night visit to his friend Bernard Baruch in New York when he almost died. While crossing the street, he was hit by a car. Churchill only looked to the right when he wanted to cross. However, cars drive on opposite sides of the road in America and Britain. He directly walked into the way of the car. Churchill got hurt seriously on his chest and shoulder. He said he was directly responsible for the accident, telling the police that the driver made no mistake and to let him go.After that, he was just not allowed to drink alcohol (酒). Churchill managed to talk with his doctor by writing a note which read “It is necessary for Winston Churchill to use the alcohol after this accident, especially at meal times”.69.

九年级上Unit 2一、阅读理解AYou may see some herons in the park using bread or insects as a tool to catch fish.This is just one of the ways in which birds have changed their living habits because of humans.Now,a new study has found that birds that are able to change their behaviors in this way are less likely to die out. These changes may include adding new food to their diet,developing new hunting skills,or living in a new environment.These new behaviors have long been considered advantages in avoiding extinction.To test this on a world level,scientists studied reports of new behaviors among bird species.The study includes more than 3,800 new behaviors among 8,600 species of birds.They concluded that the more new hunting skills the birds master,the larger population we will have.In other words,extinction risk reduces as the number of new skills increases.However,it is stressed that innovation can only protect birds from changes in their living place,but not from over-hunting or harm from other species.It should be noticed that some animals are very dangerous for some birds:snakes can attack little birds; some hungry mice steal birds' eggs.Above all,humans often mean the greatest danger to birds.They always take up too much space,cut down millions of trees and even cause various kinds of pollution.This shows that,unlike what is usually believed,the ability to innovate protects animals from some but not all of the rapid changes in the environment.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

What a colour may symbolize to a person of the west may be very different to someone in the east. Here are some colours and what they represent to various people of the world.Red is the favourite colour of brides in Vietnam. In this country, red represents fortune, success, and good luck. In China red is a symbol of luck and is used for many celebrations such as weddings and at the beginning of the new year. In India red is a symbol of purity and commitment, and it is used in wedding clothing. In the United States red represents love and is used during Christmas andValentine's Day. Red also denotes speed and power in the west, which is why it is a popular colour for race cars and toy rockets.To the Japanese，Chinese, Vietnamese and Koreans，white symbolizes death and mourning. To people of India and in the west, white is a colour of purity.Purple has long been considered the colour of royalty to westerners, probably because only the very rich could afford purple dye(染料) in ancient times. In Thailand, widows wear purple to show they're in mourning. To many Italian performers, purple is a colour of bad fortune, and they often do not wear these colours in front of an audience.In Paris, all garbage collectors are clothed in green, drive green trucks and dispose of waste in green bins. In many parts of the world, green has become a symbol of kindness to the earth.56. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?57.

In the Air and Space Museum, you can____.A. create a stampB. build a houseC. make a paper airplaneD. explore a future cityCHave you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon”？People use this eething that they do not do very often. For eeone might say that he tries to avoid (避免) eating sweets because they are unhealthy，but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon”. While many people use this phrase，not everyone knows the meaning behind it. The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an eoon” has to do with the shape of the moon，not the color.As the moon travels around the earth，it appears to change shape. We associate (联系) certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For eall part of the moon，it is called a crescent moon(新月). A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip (尖端) of a fingernail (指甲). When we cannot see the moon at all，it is called a new moon. When we can see the whole moon，it is called a full moon. Usually，there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes，however，there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens，the second full moon is called a “blue moon”.Over the next 20 years，there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see，a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people to use the eoon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.66. Which of the following would be a good example of using thephrase “once in a blue moon”？A. Simon often tells jokes. Simon tells jokes once in a blue moon.B. Tom rarely remembers to do e does eoon.C.

How often will a blue moon happen over the next twenty years?A. Once a year.B. Less than once a year.C. More than once a year.D. At least twice a year.69. What does the underlined part “This fact” in the last paragraph refer to(所指)?A. A blue moon is a very rare event.B. The moon appears to change shape.C. The moon itself is never really blue.D. A blue moon has to do with the shape of the moon.DDo you know why different animals or pests 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 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 noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of black liquid when they face danger. The liquid spreads over quickly, so they cannot be found by their enemies and can quickly swim away. That is why they can live safely though they aren't strong at all.70. From the passage we can learn that locusts____.A. are small animalsB. are easily found by birdsC. are dangerous to their enemiesD. change their colours to protect themselves71. How 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.72. Which is the best title for this passage?A. The Change of Colours for Animals and PestsB. Colours of Different Animals and PestsC. The Main Use of Colours for Animals and PestsD. Some Animals and PestsE阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。

牛津译林版9上Unit 2 Colours 同步阅读一、完形填空What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观者), a leader, a(n) 1 person. You enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you 2 grey or blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are 3 . Psychologists(心理学家)tell us that we don't choose our favourite colours as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least 4 _ you could see clearly.A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress 5 warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright eolours make people not only happier but more active.

It's catching on all over the world. More and more people decide to' 'go green" because they know that we only have one planet to live on. We won't be able to live on it much longer if we keep wasting energy, and destroying our home with air, land, and water pollution."Green Living" means:Understanding that your choices affect not just you, but everybody everywhere., but the future.Understanding that when we talk about "saving the planet" or "saving the environment", we are actually talking about saving ourselves!You may be thinking: "Hey, I'm just one person, on a planet with billions. I can't really make a difference." Well, have you ever seen a group of people do "the wave (波浪)"? It always starts off with one or two people, jumping up and down like crazy. Soon thousands of people are joining in. "Going green" is just like that. It starts with small, simple actions. It can soon build intoa wave that will change the whole planet and lead us all to healthier, happier lives.1. It can be infen'ed from the last paragraph that__________ .A. one can't make a differenceB. our choices can't affect the futureC. our planet is destroyed by pollutionD. going green starts with small actions2. The writer may agree that ___________ .A. going green is not easy for each of usB. going green means changing othersC. going green is in fact a choiceD. going green is far away from us3.

Understanding that your choices affect not just your hometownB. Understanding that your choices affect not just todayC. Understanding that your choices affect not just the earthD. Understanding that your choices affect not just the planet5. Which of the following can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. You should start with small actions to make big waves.B. With the big waves, we can change the whole planet,C. Everyone can make a difference on going green.D. One's Dower isn't biz enough to do the wave.(B)What do you think of black cats? Are they unluckier than cats of other colours? Many people in Western countries think so. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), did a study on cat colours and people's understandings of cat personalities.The study found that people do judge cat personalities by colour.Scientistsdid a survev on the Intemet. There were 49 statements (描述) matching five cat colourings with 10 personalities. People think orange and bi-coloured (双色的) cats are friendly, tricoloured(三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy. As for black cats, people think they don't have special personalities.But why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets? People think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation (口碑). They think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at Halloween. Movies and television shows also makepeople believe that.Although people have these ideas, UC Berkeley scientists give another reason: people don't think black cats are pretty enough. After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats. "You can't judge a cat by its colour, because it's the personality of the cat, not the colour, that will let you know if the cat is right for you," Cathy Marden, a scientist said.6. Which kind of cat colour is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. White.B. Purple.C. Black.D. Orange.7. Mrs Brown's cat is calm, lazy and shy.

Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are "red hot" about something unfair. When they are "red hot", they are very angry about something. Fast, loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is "red hot".Blue is a cool colour. The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Blues is slow and sad. Someone who is blue is very sad.The colour green is natural for trees and grass. But it is not a natural colour for humans. A person who has a sick-feeling stomach may say she feels "a little green". A passenger on a boat who feels sick may look very green.Sometimes a person may be unhappy because he does not have something as nice as a friend does, like a fast new car. That person may say he is "green with envy". Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks. Dollars are called "greenbacks" because that is the colour of the back side of the paper money.The colour black is often used in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as "a black day". And at one time, some companies refused to employ(雇佣) the people on the "blacklist", because they belonged to(属于) unpopular organizations.牛津译林版9上Unit 2 Colours 同步阅读答案：一、1-5 BBDCA 6-10 CDBAA二、1-5 DCDBC 6-10 BBCDC11-15 BDCCC 16--20 BACCD三、1. everyday/daily 2.

That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbours.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very rich neighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants（佣人）, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to a flat in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of th eir neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses”came to mean keeping up with ri ch lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.31.

Jen shook her head and looked at me. Finally she said, “On Thanksgiving, Mom and I always went to visit some friends who lived on a farm. I especially loved seeing their big turkeys.”Until then, I didn’t think about how Jen felt. She had a new stepfather (继父) and stepbrother, and had a new town and home, too. Jen and her mom used to live near a lake where Dad and I went every summer, and she had to move up north with us. She had more changes than me.Jen seemed sad, so I was busy thinking of some ways to cheer her up on Thanksgiving. I told her my plan and she was excited. First we made a huge snowball, and then a small snowball. Then we built a wall behind the big snowball as a tail. Jen mixed some food coloring with water, saying, “We can spray (喷) colors on the tail.” Our snow turkey had a red, blue, green, and yellow tail. We were so busy that we didn’t notice our parents come outside. Dad found a hat for thesnow turkey, and Mom wrapped her scarf around its neck.“Thanks for cheering Jen up,” Mom said. “You’re a good brother, and you always come up with great ideas.’’ A happy feeling spread through me. I began to understand how much she cared about everyone in our new family.( )36. What did Jen do on Thanksgiving in the past?A. She went skating with her friends.B.

Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), did a study on cat colours and people’s understandings of cat personalities.The study found that people do judge(判断) cat personalities by color. Scientists did a survey on the Internet. There were 49 statements(描述) matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities. People think orange and bi-coloured (双色的) cats are friendly, tri-coloured (三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy. As for black cats, people think they don’t have special personalities.But why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets? People think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation (口碑). They think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at Halloween. Movies and television shows also make people believe that.Although people have these ideas, UC Berkeley scientists give another reason: people don’t think black cats are pretty enough. After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats. “You can’t judge a cat by its colour, because it’s the personality of the cat, not the colour, that will let you know if the cat is right for you,” Cathy Marden, a scientist said.( )41.
