She becomes smaller when she wakes up the next day. She finds herself in a wonderland with many amazing things inside.)The Caterpillar(毛毛虫) and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence. At last the Caterpillar took the pipe out of its mouth, and said to her in a tired, sleepy voice.“Who are YOU?” said the Caterpillar.This opening for a talk couldnt make Alice at ease. Alice replied, rather shyly, “I-I hardly know, sir, just at present -at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.”“What do you mean by that?” said the Caterpillar, “Explain yourself!”“I cant explain MYSELF. Im afraid, sir.” said Alice, “because Im not myself, you see.”“I dont see.” said the Caterpillar.“Im afraid I cant put it more clearly.” Alice replied very politely, “for I cant understand it myself. And being so many different sizes in a day is very puzzling.”“It isnt.” said the Caterpillar.“Well, perhaps you havent found it so yet.” said Alice. “But when you have to turn into a chrysalis(蛹，茧)-you will some day, you know -and then after that into a butterfly, I think youll feel it a little stranger, wont you?”“Not a bit.” said the Caterpillar.“Well, perhaps your feelings may be different.” said Alice. “All I know is, it would make ME feel very strange.”“You!” said the Caterpillar scornfully(鄙视地). “Who are YOU?” The question brought them back again to the beginning of the talk. Alice felt a little angry because the Caterpillar was making such VERY short sentences. She drew herself up and said very seriously, “I think you ought to tell me who YOU are first.”“Why?” said the Caterpillar.Here was another puzzling question. As Alice could not think out any good reason, and as the Caterpillar seemed to be very unpleasant, she turned away.“Come back!” the Caterpillar called after her. “Ive something important to tell you!”This certainly gave Alice some hope. Alice turned and came back again.（1）Where may their talk take place?A . In a wonderland.B . In the field.C . In the treeD . Outside the hole.（2）Why did Alice think she was not herself?A . Because she was too young to understand the changesB . Because being changed several times in a day made her feel puzzled.C . Because she didnt like her changesD . Because she didnt feel very well.（3）Which of the following sentences can be added to the end of the story?A . “Dont be silly. You are still yourself.” said the CaterpillarB . “Dont be angry. You think youre changed, do you?”said the Caterpillar.C . “Dont be sad. Youll grow bigger again.” said the Caterpillar.D . “Dont be afraid. You can go home now.” said the Caterpillar.12. （10分） Do you know why different animals or insects have their special colors? 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.
