A. special something B. special anything C. something special D. anything special 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——今天的报纸上有什么特别的内容吗？——有。一位善良的人从火中救了一个孩子！ 考查复合不定代词和形容词的位置。something某物；anything任何事。根据“Is there…in today’s newspaper?”可知，在一般疑问句中，通常使用anything而非something，且形容词修饰复合不定代词时需后置，因此anything special正确。故选D。 7.

At that time, there was a lot of this kind of food for them. Ants started to grow these fungi inside their nests (巢). They feed the fungi with dead leaves to help them grow. Then, the ants eat the fungi. Scientists find around 250 kinds of ants all over the world build these fungi gardens. The ants are like good gardeners. They weed (除草) and water the gardens.
