6、xts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1 A good disguise keeps you hidden, right?

Those surprising results appear in the journal Scientific Reports.Shining iridescent color, which changes depending on the

7、angle from which its viewed, is favored by everything from birds to beetles and blossoms to butterflies.“And in our research group we are of course interested in why this vivid metallic color is so widespread in nature.” Karin Kjernsmo of the University of Bristol adds that in some cases the showy splashes of light are a sexual strategy. “Here I would like to point out that in some species, particularly those that display strong sexual dimorphism(雌雄两性), such as birds of paradise or some butterfl
