The summer time calls of the cicada are made by adult males to attract females. Their eggs are usually laid in scratches cut through the skin of the tree. Once it has been pleted, the adults die. 　　When the eggs hatch, the larvae(幼蟲(chóng))drop to the ground and live under the soil. 　2　 They spend as little as several months for some species or as long as several years for other species buried under ground, shedding(蛻下)their skin as they grow. They shed their skin for the last time to bee adult cicadas with their wings. 　3　 A few days after ing out of the soil, the males call for mates and cycle begins again. 　　The Golden Emperor, whose call is quite different from others, is one of Australia’s biggest and prettiest cicadas. 　4　 The Golden Emperor calls in groups, but getting to see one up close is very difficult as they fly away when approached. Also, as their breeding season progresses, they gradually move higher up the tree trunks. 　5　 The Golden Emperor is a delight just to listen to if you can’t see the insect itself. A. Not all cicadas have simple, loud noise. B. This act makes their call the only sign that they are still around. C. The larvae attach themselves to tree roots and feed on their liquid. D. When they have bee mature, they e out of the soil as a group. E. Their songs call on female to fly to them and fight for next generation. F. If that happens, they will fly away and go to some place that they really love. G. Their call starts with two notes and then rises sharply before it suddenly drops down. 【文章大意】這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹了蟬的一生, 其中專門(mén)介紹了澳大利亞的一種名叫Golden Emperor的蟬和其他蟬的不同之處。1. 【解析】選A。根據(jù)下文Some, like the Golden Emperor, have plicated songs. 可知有些蟬可以發(fā)出復(fù)雜的聲音, 例如金皇大帝。A.
