(来源:2026年四川省遂宁市中考英语试题)From red apples to green watermelons, fruits come in many different colors, including white, red, blue, purple and black. Why do different kinds of fruits have so many colors?
The colors of fruits actually come from their different pigments (色素), which depend on the temperature. To find out how temperature influences fruit colors, Chinese scientists studied more than 280 different fruit colors. They found that red fruits usually grow in cooler places and blue fruits mostly grow in warmer places. And instead of just growing in one place, fruits grow in many places around the world. The scientists also found that the closer the fruits are to the equator (赤道), the darker their colors will be.
Animals have also had an influence on the development of fruit colors. Animals eat fruits and drop the seeds in other places later. This helps the fruits spread and grow in different places. So, in order to draw animals, some fruits develop colors that are easy for animals to see.
However, animals see colors in a different way. Fruits need to develop colors that could be seen by animals. For example, birds can see red more easily than humans can. So usually, there are more red fruits in areas where birds live.

(1)题: 句意:Jimmy最喜欢的颜色是蓝色。
根据文中“He likes blue because he likes the...”可知吉米最喜欢的颜色是蓝色,所以选blue。
(2)题: 句意:他喜欢蓝色因为他喜欢大海。
蓝色通常会让人联想到大海,sea(大海)是蓝色的,而snow(雪)是白色,grass(草)是绿色,cloud(云)常见为白色或灰色等,所以选sea。

从“She likes white because she loves..., and the snow is white.”可知苏珊最喜欢的颜色是白色,所以选white。
(4)题: 句意:她喜欢白色因为她爱滑雪,雪是白色的。

红色通常给人温暖的感觉,cold(寒冷的)、sad(悲伤的)、quiet(安静的)都不符合红色给人的印象,warm(温暖的)符合,所以选warm。

“like...best”表示“最喜欢”,这里说我最喜欢橙色,它总是让我开心,well(好地)、good(好的)、better(更好的)都不合适,所以选best。
(8)题: 句意:当我们和朋友玩的时候。
when引导的时间状语从句,从句中主语是we,缺少谓语动词,且是一般现在时,plays是第三人称单数形式,playing是非谓语动词形式,played是过去式,这里用动词原形play,所以选play。
(9)题: 句意:我们常用不同的词语提问。
我们经常用不同的“词”来问问题,word(词),这里用复数形式words,book(书)、books(书的复数)不符合语境,所以选words。
(10)题: 句意:颜色使我们的生活多彩。
由“I love this colourful world.”可知颜色让我们的生活丰富多彩,short(短的)、busy(忙碌的)、quiet(安静的)不符合,colourful(丰富多彩的)符合文意,所以选colourful。

【答案】1. D 2. D 3. C 4. A 5. B
【解析】本文主要介绍了水果呈现不同颜色的两大原因:一是生长环境影响水果色素与颜色深浅;二是动物的视觉和活动推动水果颜色进化,方便种子传播。
(1)题: 根据第二段“To find out how temperature influences fruit colors, Chinese scientists studied more than 280 different fruit colors.”可知,科学家是通过研究超过280种不同水果颜色开展研究,对应D选项。
(2)题: 根据第二段“The scientists also found that the closer the fruits are to the equator (赤道), the darker their colors will be.”可知,越靠近赤道的水果颜色越深。
(3)题: 根据第二段“The colors of fruits actually come from their diferent pigments (色素), which depend on the temperature.”和第三段“Animals have also had an influence on the development of fruit colors.”可知,影响水果颜色的两个核心影响因素是温度和动物。
(4)题: 根据第三段“So, in order to draw animals, some fruits develop colors that are easy for animals to see.”可知,水果进化出显眼的颜色是为了吸引动物,让动物发现自己、帮忙传播种子,因此draw在这里含义是“吸引、获得……的注意”,对应A选项。
(5)题: 第一段提出问题“为什么水果有多种颜色”,总领全文;第二段介绍第一个影响因素:温度对水果颜色的影响;第三段提出第二个影响因素:动物对水果颜色的影响;第四段进一步举例解释这个观点,三四段同属于“动物影响”这一分支。对应选项B。
