A.One B.All
C.Everything

解析 句意:多年间这种动物能保护自己避免危险。首先,当它在树阴下进食时,它的色彩的隐蔽性使它不易被看到。空白处用来强调重要性,因此只能用first of all。无A项这种表达法。in all相当于altogether“总计”;after all“毕竟”,表程度。

Ⅲ. 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Most Direct Solution to Any Problem
When trying to solve various problems in life,an approach I find very useful is to first identify what I’d consider the most direct solution,regardless of how I feel about actually implementing (实施) it.What is the clearest,most direct path to my goal or the most efficient way to get around an obstacle?
Many problems will have multiple direct solutions,but often these solutions will be unpleasant at first glance because they’ll require courage,selfdiscipline,creativity,or persistence to implement.__1__
For example,suppose you want to lose weight.And suppose we can say that one of direct solutions is to eat the same as you’re eating now and increase your exercise output by 500 calories a day.__2__It may require discipline and persistence,but most people would agree that it will work if you follow through.
Another example:__3__However,you don’t know how that person feels about you.One direct solution would be to simply walk up,explain your thoughts and feelings,and ask if she or he is interested in discussing the possibility of a closer relationship.This will take less than a minute to say,and whatever the outcome is,at least you know where you stand.__4__Anyhow it’s very simple and straightforward.
__5__What’s the simplest and quickest way to reach your goal,assuming that you had limitless courage and discipline?
A.Of course this solution may require a lot of courage to overcome the possibility of rejection.
B.But if we can get ourselves to follow through,we know the solutions will actually work.
C.See if you can identify the most direct solution to some of your problems.
D.So the best way to overcome the difficulty is to ask your friends for advice.
E.If you implement this rather simple solution,you’ll lose weight.
F.Suppose you’re interested in starting a relationship with someone.
G.However,the solution implemented does not work.

in all pink from head to toe,he was singing a song which
was——
sounded like a kid’s song.I thought he must be
crazy.Just then,a lady dropped
20dollar bill on the ground,but
didn’t realize it and started to walk away.The guy in pink picked
the money and gave it back to her.After that,he rode on
soon disappeared before the lady could thank him. a strange and good guy!
