Why do people wear clothes? Your answer may be to keep w1. and to cover the body. That’s why people wear clothes, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.

If people wear clothes only for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple and c2. . In many countries, however, clothes are sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the materials or the cost of making clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion.

Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. So they p3. thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It’s still just a suit and a tie, but they pay these prices because of the famous designs.

Fashion is constantly (持續(xù)不斷地) changing. It means that people who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month’s clothes have only been worn once or t4.. Some people have boxes f5. of clothes, but some of these clothes have never been worn. These clothes are no longer in fashion though they are still new.

Would you know what to do during a big earthquake? Scientists have some advice for us. If the ground begins shaking while you are driving, stop your car on the roadside and stay in it.

Cross your arms to protect yourself. You can also find a place to hide.

After the main shake, quickly run out of the dangerous building, for there will be small earthquakes. If you are safe, remember not to engage the phone line, keep it free for rescue(援救) using.

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：江蘇省句容市、丹陽(yáng)市2017屆九年級(jí)下學(xué)期中考網(wǎng)上閱卷第二次適應(yīng)性檢測(cè)（二模）英語(yǔ)試卷 題型：閱讀理解

“Why do birds sing?” I asked a group of children. “To attract metes(配偶)!” answered a boy. A 4-year-old girl added shyly, “birds sing because they are happy, and they want to make us happy, too.” I think both answers are probably true in a way. If birds sing happily, it shows all is good in the forest: no predators (捕食者) are present, and the birds can feed, sing and do other bird things. The sound of a relaxed robin(知更鳥) singing is easy to understand because it makes us feel this way too—it’s a sound that lifts our own hearts when we hear it.

What happens when a predator comes into their areas? The nearby birds quickly give an alarm(警報(bào)) call, a short sound that warns, “Danger is coming!” On hearing the sound, the other birds stop singing and fly away, the deer lift their heads and stop moving and the rabbits run into the bushes. Suddenly, the forest becomes silent.

When humans walk through the woods in a hurry or while talking with a friend, we don’t see much wildlife. We may think that there aren’t many animals living there, but more likely, they know we are coming and hide minutes before our arrival. But if we learn to avoid setting off alarms, we can see many more wild animals without frightening them. To practice, find a place in a park and sit quietly for an hour. Take notes as the birds begin to relax and sing again. When I do this, I am always surprised at the wonderful thing animals will do when humans stay still (不動(dòng)的) long enough.

1.In the writer’s opinion, the children’s answers to his question are .

A. funny B. interesting C. honest D. reasonable

2.Why can’t we see much wildlife in the woods from this passage?

A. Because we have set off alarms. B. Because we fail to give warnings.

C. Because we come at the wrong time. D. Because few animals live there.

3.The purpose of the last paragraph is to .

A. show people how and when birds sing.

B. ask people to learn something about birds.

C. tell people how to protect birds in the wild.

D. advise people to enjoy the songs of birds.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A. The life of birds. B. How birds sing in the forest.

C. Birds in the forest. D. The messages in birds’ singing.
