This is because of pigments (色素), which reflect (反射) light and make what the eye sees as colors. When we feel excited or angry, the heart can send more blood (血) to the face and the pigments in the skin become red.③Plants also have pigments. Colors are important for them to live on. The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects (昆虫), which then carry their pollen (花粉) from one flower to another. Bees can see colors we cannot see, and they follow them to the inside of flowers. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.④Animals also use colors for their own needs. They protect themselves with different colors so they can protect themselves frompredators — the animals that kill and eat them. The snowshoe hare, a kind of wild animal, changes colors with seasons for this reason. During summer it has a brown color, and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow. However, some animals use colors as a warning to make predators stay away. Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way. Nature, however, is very clever, and predators also use colors to attract the animals they feed on.⑤So, we can see that there are many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world. Some uses of colors in nature are still unknown, but one thing is for sure: Colors not only make our planet beautiful, but they are also necessary for our planet to live on.根据表格内容,选择最佳选项,并在答题卡上将选定答案的字母标号涂黑。26.Why does our skin become red when we feel angry A.We are in very good health.B.Our hearts send more blood to our skin.C.The pigments reflect more bright light.27.What can we learn from Paragraph ③ A.The reason why flowers look beautiful.B.The importance of colors for plants.C.The result that insects like bright colors of flowers.28.What does the underlined word "predators" most probably mean in Chinese A.同伴 B.食物 C.捕食者29.Which of the following do human make with the same theory (原理) A. B. C.30.What's the structure (结构) of the text A. B. C.【答案】26.B27.B28.C29.A30.C【知识点】说明文;自然现象;细节理解;观点态度【解析】【分析】本文讲述了自然界中色彩的多样性,介绍了人类、植物和动物利用色彩的不同原因及作用,最后总结了色彩对地球生存的重要性。【点评】考查阅读理解,注意区分不同题型的解题方法,细节题精准定位原文,词义猜测题结合上下文语境,结构题梳理文章脉络判断整体框架。26.细节理解题。根据文中"When we feel excited or angry, the heart can send more blood (血) to the face and the pigments in the skin become red.",可知当我们生气时皮肤变红是因为心脏向皮肤输送更多的血液,故选B。27.段落大意题。根据第三段"Plants also have pigments. Colors are important for them to live on."以及整段内容,可知该段主要讲述了颜色对植物的重要性,故选B。28.词义猜测题。根据文中"They protect themselves with different colors so they can protect themselves from predators — the animals that kill and eat them.",可知predators指的是捕杀并吃掉它们的动物,即"捕食者",故选C。29.推理判断题。根据文中"Animals also use colors for their own needs.

When we feel excited or angry, the heart can send more blood (血) to the face and the pigments in the skin become red.③Plants also have pigments. Colors are important for them to live on. The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects (昆虫), which then carry their pollen (花粉) from one flower to another. Bees can see colors we cannot see, and they follow them to the inside of flowers. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.④Animals also use colors for their own needs. They protect themselves with different colors so they can protect themselves frompredators — the animals that kill and eat them. The snowshoe hare, a kind of wild animal, changes colors with seasons for this reason. During summer it has a brown color, and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow. However, some animals use colors as a warning to make predators stay away. Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way. Nature, however, is very clever, and predators also use colors to attract the animals they feed on.⑤So, we can see that there are many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world.
