us have asked,but scientists too.Several studies have been done to find out the reason behind the stripes and many theories 理论 have been suggested.According to a recent study,the type of stripes changes depending on the temperature where zebras live.The warmer the place is,the more stripes they may have.From this study,scientists believe that stripes may help to keep a zebra cool in warmer places.According to the cooler temperature theory,when air hits a zebra,the movements of air are stronger and faster over the black parts and slower over the white.This is because black color takes in more heat than white.So at the point where the black and white meet,there is cooling airflow.It can quickly cool a zebra s skin!In fact,scientists have noticed that heavily striped zebras have lower skin temperature than other animals without stripes in the same area.Some scientists believe that stripes may be an adaptation适应by zebras to defend 防卫themselves from the horseflies that follow zebras.The cooler temperature theory holds merit here too,since disease-carrying flies like horseflies like it hot.Flies also don t like landing on striped surfaces.There also have been many other theories that have been suggested for why zebras have stripes.Some explanations are very common.One of them is that stripes may help zebras hide in grass especially from lions.Lions are color blind and even if they are not far away they may see stripes as grey and be confused by them.What s more,zebras are a large group of animals living together.When a number of zebras stand or move together,stripes may confuse lions into thinking it is one large animal.48.Stripes are helpful for zebras to .A.stay cool B.move together C.live in cold places D.fight against diseases 49.How do zebras stripes protect them from lions?4初三一模英语试卷第页A.Lions may be frightened away by stripes.B.Lions may see stripes as many animals.C.Stripes can prevent zebras from being seen.D.Stripes may make lions confused.50.The underlined words“holds merit”in Paragraph 4 probably mean“”。A.works well B.sounds unreasonable C.causes disagreement D.needs supporting facts 51.What is the passage mainly about?A.Why lions can t eat zebras B.How horseflies keep away from zebras C.Why zebras have stripes D.How animals adapt to nature D Entertainment 娱乐is a developing business.Its popularity continues to grow as it keeps up with technology.More people are willing to pay for entertainment with their time and money.Sometimes entertainment is a form of escapism 逃避.It takes us away from our reality and gets us into another world-not our own.Why do we want to escape?Boredom or loneliness:The boredom of daily life gets to us and we feel we need some entertainment and a bit change.A TV running in the background,and maybe catching our attention every now and then,keeps us company.Fear and avoidance:We don t want to face something we fear,or can t bring ourselves to move past the fear and do something about it.We re scared to go for what we want,so we choose to turn on the TV.Struggle:Life sometimes feels like a battle-traffic,work,taking care of ourselves and keeping up with what s going on.At the end of the day all we want to do is forget about all of it and sit mindlessly in front of TV.Escaping has never been easier than today.We have many forms of escape.And the most favored is entertainment.Easy to reach and affordable:Y ou can stay at home and watch TV,or surf online all day long.Social connection:One can line up for a new movie and socialize with other people or go to a ballgame and cheer for his or her favorite team.Entertainment has become something people have in common and can talk about.All forms of entertainment are okay if we know what we re doing.And more importantly,we have complete control over when entertainment comes to an end.To face our fears and reality or to escape?If you tried escaping before and it didn t help,it s time to deal with the problems you face.Before watching a TV show,make sure that the important thing is taken care of.Leave your favorite show to the end of the day,after you ve taken care of what matters to you.This will allow you to enjoy every minute.There is nothing wrong with entertainment,if we don t place a higher value on it than our own reality and what matters to us.When we entertain ourselves mindfully,we won t need to escape.We turn entertainment into the reality of the moment.And when we re done,we move on-with no regret.And that can be a lot of fun.52.One reason why we want to escape is that .A.we are eager to get over our fear B.we prefer to sit mindlessly before TV C.people are willing to pay for their entertainment D.people need some excitement and change in daily life 53.Which of the following sentences might be the best to fill in the blank?A.Who can we socialize with?B.What s the best form of escapism?C.Why is entertainment in such great need?D.How does the entertainment business develop?54.Which of the following can explain the underlined sentence?A.We can stop entertainment when we want to.B.It s more important to control our daily life.C.Entertainment leads to the loss of self-control.D.We need to learn about all forms of entertainment.55.The writer may agree that .A.escape from life is more difficult than ever B.entertainment is the best way for us to enjoy life C.the popularity of entertainment depends on technology D.we can truly entertain ourselves with real matters done 七、阅读短文，根据段文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。共 10分，每题5 初三一模英语试卷第页2 分Following Their
