六、跨生物·蝴蝶 阅读理解。(2025·江苏宿迁·调研)
Nature is amazing! Take a close look at the world of insects(昆虫), and you'll find many unbelievable things. Think about butterflies, for example. They have beautiful colourful wings and strong fantastic flying skills. In summer, you can see them flying freely over flower gardens and wild fields.
But do you know how butterflies become flying insects? It's one of the amazing wonders of nature. In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colourful egg on a leaf or stem(茎) of a plant.
It's hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It turns into a walking insect. This insect is called a caterpillar(幼虫). It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life has begun. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see, but it is still not a butterfly.
Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a
cover for itself. It covers itself in a protective blanket(保护层) and goes to sleep. This stage is known as the "pupa(蛹)" stage.
After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colourful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away.
After a few weeks, this adult butterfly lays her eggs, and the cycle begins all over again. This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look into the woods and mountains and see what you can find next.
