14．（10分）Ants are social insects, which means they live in large colonies or

groups. In the colonies, thousands of ants work together to build rooms, find

food and protect their young. Ants live in underground tunnels（地道，隧道）. In

these tunnels, there are special rooms for food and for baby ants. Some ants

have to pick up all the rubbish from the colony and bring it outside the

colony. Do you think all that rubbish might be too much for a little ant？

Think again. Even though they are so small, ants can lift up to 20 times their

own weight. That's about as much as a 10-year-old boy lifts a small car.

Ants can't talk, but this doesn't stop them. Ants communicate buy leaving

chemicals from their bodies for other ants to smell. For example, if an ant

finds a piece of food, it will send out chemicals that say "there is food

here". The other ants will follow their noses toward the food until it is all

gone. On the other hand, if there is something dangerous around, ants will

send chemicals that say "stay away".

The ant colony is made up of three classes, the queen, the workers

and the male ants. Life in a colony is very organized. Each member has a

job to do. The queen has one role, to lay eggs. She does not rule over

the other ants, but has the most important job, the whole colony would

even die if there was no queen. Queen ants can live up to fifteen years!

The worker ants may have one or several jobs. Some of these jobs

are to gather food for the colony, protect the nest from predators（掠夺者）

and look after the queen and young ants.

These insects are amazing and we should protect them.

（1）If an ant weighs 0.02g, how much can it lift？

A. 0.02g.

B. 0.04g.

C. 0.4g.

D. 0.8g.

（2）What does the second paragraph mainly tell us？

A. How ants find food.

B. How ants communicate.

C. What the chemicals are.

D. How ants stay away from danger.

（3）What is the queen's most important job？

A. To lay eggs.
