21、Dear Sir,

I am writing to you about my stay at your hotel. My wife and I arrived on Saturday, May 15th and stayed for a week. Though we were treated well and found the service excellent, we think there are one or two things we should bring your attention.

1. We hoped for a nice holiday from our busy work lives, and your ad said “comfortable and quiet”. We want to have a chance to enjoy ourselves. However, we were always waken up by the noise every morning. Is it really necessary for the workers to start their repair work so early?

2. We hoped to swim in your “wonderful pool”. To our disappointment(失望), we found that it was closed for the whole time of our stay.

I hope you do not mind my writing to you about these things, but I would be happy if you could give me some explanation(说明). As I said at the start, it is a pity, and your service is so good in other places.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours sincerely

Tom Green

22、In nature, you may see many insects (昆虫) and animals of different colors. Have you ever wondered why?

Locusts (蝗虫) are super delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies (敌人). The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops (庄稼). When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.

Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can’t be seen easily by their enemies. This is because they have colors similar to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to live, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and come out only at night.

Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts (行为) ? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over, its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish swims away at once. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.

【1】It is not easy for birds to catch locusts because ________.

A．locusts are good runners

B．locusts can jump very high

C．locusts are smarter than birds

D．locusts can change their color

【2】The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.

A．insects with colors

B．butterflies and bees

C．soil insects

D．brown bears, tigers and other animals

【3】The ink fish _________ so that its enemies will not see it.

A．changes its color

B．makes the water around it black

C．comes out only at night

D．hides itself in the sea rocks

【4】What is the main idea of this passage?

A．Some insects and animals have different skills.

B．Some insects and animals are clever than we think.

C．Some insects and animals use colors to protect themselves.

D．Some insects and animals can get used to the environment easily.
