Unit 2 Colours 单元话题阅读理解练习 （2023·江苏连云港·统考一模）①The natural world is colorful with humans, plants and animals showing different colors. Human skin can be many different colors and it changes with the sun, our feelings, or our health. This is because of pigments(色素), which reflect light and make what the eye sees as colors. So, when we feel excited or angry, our heart sends more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red. ② Plants also have pigments. Colors plays an important role in their life. The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects, which then carry their pollen(花粉)from one flower to another. Bees can see colors we cannot, and they follow these to the inside of the flower. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out. ③ Animals also use colors for their own need. They protect themselves with different colors in order not to be seen by predators(捕食者).The snowshoe hare, for example, a type of wild rabbit, changes colors with seasons for this reason. During summer it is a brown color, and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow. However, some animals use the color as a warning to frighten predators away. Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way. ④ So, we can see that there may be many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world.
