Passage 1
(2025·广东·学业水平合格考)Do you know why different animals or insects (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors are used mainly for protecting themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but they cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops (庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But when the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have.
Some other insects with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves in the day and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人), This is because they have the colors much like the trees.
A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体) when it faces danger. While the liquid is around, its enemies (敌人) can’t find it. And it runs away at once. So it has lived for millions of years though it is not strong at all.

Passage 2
(2026·广东·学业水平合格考)People living in a coastal community had set underwater traps (陷阱) with food inside to catch a kind of harmful crabs (螃蟹). The traps came in the form of round-shaped nets, with ropes and floats (浮标) to mark their locations. However, local people often found the crab food inside gone, with the traps destroyed. For a long time, no one knew who did this.
To catch the “culprit,” a team of scientists placed a hidden camera near one trap. The very next day, the truth was revealed — much sooner than expected. The video recording showed that the clever thief was a female wolf.
In the video, the wolf swam straight to the trap’s float and carried it all the way to the beach with her teeth. Then, she kept pulling the rope attached to the float until the trap was in very shallow water. Once the wolf got hold of the trap, she quickly tore open the net and enjoyed a delicious meal. The whole process took less than three minutes.
This discovery has started a heated discussion among scientists. Some believe the wolf used the rope, which she clearly understood was the key to her meal, as a tool to get food. Others argue that because the wolf did not make the rope herself, her behavior should not be counted as tool use.
Either way, most scientists agree that the wolf showed great problem-solving skills. Since so many traps have been destroyed, they believe that more than one wolf might have known the skills. There remains one interesting question to the scientists: Did the wolf learn from other wolves or by watching other species? Whatever the truth is, this discovery gives us a fresh and respectful view of wolves’ intelligence, reminding us of the wonders and connectedness of our natural world.
1.What does the underlined word “culprit” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The person setting the trap. B. The person hiding the camera.
C. The animal catching the crabs. D. The animal getting the crab food.
2.The wolf kept pulling the rope most likely to ___________.
A. help her swim B. bring the trap near
C. break the rope D. play with the float
3.What do scientists argue on?
A. Whether the wolf actually used a tool.
B. Whether the wolf can make a rope herself.
C. Whether the wolf worked with other wolves.
D. Whether the wolf has problem-solving skills.
4.What remains unclear to the scientists?
A. How the wolf located the trap.
B. How the wolf destroyed the trap.
C. How the wolf picked up the skills.
D. How the wolf got food from others.
5.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. New Tools for Scientific Research
B. Surprising Act of Animal Intelligence
C. Effective Protection of Underwater Traps
D. Immediate Dangers to Wolves on the Coast
Passage 3
(2022·广东·学业水平合格考)What would life be like without commas (逗号)? It would be quite confusing. Take this simple sentence as an example: Let’s eat Dad! Without a comma, Dad becomes the food. Add comma, and Dad becomes a partner at dinner: Let’s eat, Dad! The comma enables people to have a better understanding of the sentence.
Here’s another example: Tom said Sarah stole the cake. Here, Sarah is the thief. But add a pair of commas, and Tom becomes the thief: Tom, said Sarah, stole the cake.
The examples above clearly show that people cannot do without commas in writing. Yet, the comma came from oral speeches. Long ago, most people could not read. They listened to the news or stories told by the people who gave speeches. The comma began as something to mark the resting place in a sentence. When reading, the speakers knew where to stop and take a breath.
In writing, commas are like shining red lights on the road. They require that you wait a moment before continuing. And don’t add a comma when you feel like it. There are rules that people shall not break. Learn them, and you won’t be eating anyone or making wrong changes.
1.Without commas, life would be________.
A. frightening B. puzzling C. relaxing D. interesting
2.The author uses two examples in the passage to________.
A. tell jokes to readers
B. show the importance of using commas
C. tell stories to readers
D. show the difficulty of using commas
3.Commas were first used to________.
A. indicate a long sentence B. rewrite an unclear sentence
C. continue a sentence D. mark a break in a sentence
4.According to the last paragraph, we use commas by following________.
A. our feelings B. our speeches C. certain rules D. some facts
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Commas Make Sentences Clear. B. Commas Make English Interesting.
C. Commas Make Writing Easy. D. Commas Make Speeches Surprising.
Passage 4
(2023·广东·学业水平合格考)Anger is a natural feeling that everyone experiences in life. Some researchers believe the first sound a baby makes when born could be a sign of anger. Anger may be the first feeling we have and respond to. It’s in many cases a perfectly healthy feeling. Anger can cause people to make very positive changes in their lives. Sometimes we have to be angry at injustice (不公正), at wrong doings, or even at nature, before we can do what needs to be done to correct wrongs or make things better. But of course, that is not how we usually think of anger.
Most people think of anger as a feeling we must keep under control. Children are sometimes sent to their rooms or punished for expressing anger in an uncontrolled way. Parents tell a child to control himself when the child shows anger. We may be angry with friends or at work, but we know it’s not right to show it. Very early in life, we learn that anger is something that must be controlled.
We learn this for a good reason. Uncontrolled anger can lead to fights, car accidents, bad relationships with others, unacceptable social behavior, and many other problems. However, many experts say that if one suppresses his anger, he may suffer serious mental and physical health problems. So what can we do to understand and calm this feeling?
One solution is to talk about it with someone we trust, for example, a good friend. We can also try to walk away from a situation that causes anger, ask a doctor for advice, or just exercise more in our daily life. And of course we may have many other methods. Whatever solution we choose, as long as we are trying to find the solution to the problem, we have already taken the first step in the right direction.
1.According to Paragraph 1, anger can _____.
A. lead to justice B. keep us healthy
C. help us tell right from wrong D. help us make things better
2.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A. We are taught to control anger.
B. Anger appears early in life.
C. We shouldn’t get angry at work.
D. Angry children should be punished.
3.The underlined word “suppresses” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. holds in B. takes in C. expresses D. understands
4.Which of the following can help deal with anger?
A. Excellent physical health. B. A talk with a close friend.
C. Some exercises given by teachers. D. A good relationship with others.
5.What does the author think of anger?
A. Anger shown by children is unacceptable.
B. Anger leads to deadly mental and physical illnesses.
C. Anger can be a healthy feeling and need be treated properly.
D. Anger builds up relationships with our friends or workmates.
Passage 5
(2023·广东·学业水平合格考)A new interactive (互动的)map shows which parts of the world have been hit hardest by climate change. The map, called ClimateEX, allows users to see how global warming (全球变暖)influences temperature and rainfall across the Earth.
The map shows, in the UK, areas of eastern Scotland have been most influenced by climate change. In the US, the west coast has seen a rise in temperature and loss of rainfall. The map also shows that over the next 50 years parts of Wales and northeast England will see big changes to their climate.
Developed by a scientist at the University of Cincinnati, the map uses 50 years of public climate data from 50, 000 international weather stations around the Earth. It shows not only how the climate has changed, But also what will possibly happen by the year 2070.
According to the map, over the next 50 years Central America will be subject to terrible heat and rainfall. Papua New Guinea, southeastern China, the west coast of the US, Greenland and the Arctic are also easily influenced, most importantly for sea level change.
ClimateEX can also help users search for places where climate change may lead to extreme phenomena (现象)in the future. The user simply touches the place where storms are frequent at present on the map and then ClimateEX will show all the places where storms are likely to happen in 50 years.
1.A rise in temperature and loss of rainfall have happened in ____.
A. the US B. China
C. Papua New Guinea D. the UK
2.The map tells the climate change in the future by ____.
A. setting up weather stations B. recording rainfall
C. measuring the sea levels D. using past climate data
3.The underlined phrase be subject to in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. cause B. suffer C. avoid D. change
4.According to the last paragraph, the map can _____.
A. reduce the influences of climate change
B. change the climates of different countries
C. show where extreme climates will happen

Passage 5
(2023·广东·学业水平合格考)A new interactive (互动的)map shows which parts of the world have been hit hardest by climate change. The map, called ClimateEX, allows users to see how global warming (全球变暖)influences temperature and rainfall across the Earth.
The map shows, in the UK, areas of eastern Scotland have been most influenced by climate change. In the US, the west coast has seen a rise in temperature and loss of rainfall. The map also shows that over the next 50 years parts of Wales and northeast England will see big changes to their climate.
Developed by a scientist at the University of Cincinnati, the map uses 50 years of public climate data from 50, 000 international weather stations around the Earth. It shows not only how the climate has changed, But also what will possibly happen by the year 2070.
According to the map, over the next 50 years Central America will be subject to terrible heat and rainfall. Papua New Guinea, southeastern China, the west coast of the US, Greenland and the Arctic are also easily influenced, most importantly for sea level change.
ClimateEX can also help users search for places where climate change may lead to extreme phenomena (现象)in the future. The user simply touches the place where storms are frequent at present on the map and then ClimateEX will show all the places where storms are likely to happen in 50 years.
1.A rise in temperature and loss of rainfall have happened in ____.
A. the US B. China
C. Papua New Guinea D. the UK
2.The map tells the climate change in the future by ____.
A. setting up weather stations B. recording rainfall
C. measuring the sea levels D. using past climate data
