Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked marked A. B, C and D. You should decide on the best ONE and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET. Questions 51—55 are based on the following passage ：Have you ever wondered why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their particular colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts (蝗虫). But birds cannot easily catch locusts because locusts change their colors along with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible (看不见的)to the hunters’eyes. because they have the colors much like the barks of trees(树皮).An even stranger act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. Thus, it has existed (存在)up to now though it is not powerful at all.51.

The flashes reflecting light could be seen several miles away. The enemies did not know what the flashes meant, but Greek soldiers could understand the messages.Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers. When they had a message to send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and enough soldiers with loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance.In Africa, people learned to send messages by beating on a series of large drums(鼓). Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles.In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet.
