It can be over 5. 5 meters tall. Its neck alone may be 1. 9 meters long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones in its neck, the same number as in the humans. Even a small bird has many more bones in its neck than a tall giraffe. Each bone in a giraffes neck is very long, while the bones in a humans neck are short. That makes the difference. A female giraffe gives birth to one baby at a time. The baby, called a calf, is about 1. 9 meters tall at birth. By the age of eight it is full-grown. The giraffe eats mostly leaves. Because it has a long neck, it can reach the high leaves on the trees.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。（1）In this passage the underlined word giraffe means _.

Colors are used mainly to protect themselves.Why cant some birds easily catch locusts（蝗虫）? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as autumn 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 for lives in the day and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, youll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals cant be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even more strange thing? A kind of fish in the sea can send out black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cant find it. And it quickly swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.（1）From the article we learn that locusts .A . are dangerous to their enemiesB . are easily found by birdsC . change their colors to protect themselvesD . are small animals（2）How can insects with different colors from plants keep out of danger?A . They have to move quietly.B . They hide themselves in the day and appear at night.C . They have the colors much like their enemies.D . They run away quickly.（3）Bears and lions can keep safe because .A . they live in forestsB . they like brown and grey colorsC . they move quietlyD . they have the colors similar to the trees（4）What does the word “liquid”mean in the last paragraph?A . 气体。B . 固体。C . 液体。D . 水蒸气。（5）Which is the best title for this passage?A . The Main Use of Colors for Animals and InsectsB . Colors of Different Animals and InsectsC . The Change of Colors for Animals and InsectsD .

EJoin an organization or a club. CBe a good listener. FAsk people out for lunch or coffee. Meeting new people and making friends can be overwhelming, but with a little effort and willingness to step outside of your comfort zone, you can easily make friends. Here are some good ways to make friends. _This is a great way to find other people who have common interests. If you enjoy something, try searching for a place where you can meet people who share that interest. If you play instruments or sing try joining a band or choir. 1fyou are good at sports, join a sports team. _You can go to school, join a club, or go to church, but you still wont make friends if you dont actually talk to people. Any time you talk to someone, you have a chance at making a lasting friend You can talk to anybody：the clerk at tile video store, tile person sitting next to you on public transit, or the person in front of you in the lunch line. Dont be too picky. _That will give you a better opportunity to talk and get to know each other a little bit better. Invite them to join you for lunch or coffee sometimes and give them your email address or phone number. This gives the person the opportunity to contact(联系) you；they may or may not give you their information in return, but thats fine. _Many people think that interesting people are easy to make friends. Far more important than this, however, is the ability to show that youre interested in others Listen carefully to what people say, remember important details about them(their names, their likes and dislikes), ask questions about their interests, and just take the time to learn more about them. _Many people lose contact with their friends because theyre either too busy, or just dont value their friends enough. When you lose connection with a friend, tile friendship may fizzle out. And when you do try to contact them again, it can be hard to gain the friendship again. 六、 词汇。 (共2题；共14分)20. （5分）根据句意及首字母提示完成句子(注意变形)(1)Fan Bingbing is my favorite movie s_.(2)Spring Festival usually comes in Janualy or F_.(3)Red means good l_.
