[2025 江苏盐城中考] What do you think will happen if you draw a picture with crayons and cover up that picture with paint? Now follow the steps below to find out the answer.
What you need
crayons of different colours
drawing paper
blue poster paint
a small bowl
a cup filled with water
a paintbrush
How to do it
Step 1
Think about a scene under the sea with
different-coloured fish and sea plants. And then draw the fish and sea plants with your crayons. The more colours you use, the better your picture will be.
Step 2
Pour a little blue paint into the bowl. Add a bit of water and stir (搅拌) to make your paint a little thinner.
Step 3
Dip your brush into the blue paint in the bowl. Cover your whole picture with the blue paint. What happens? You have sea plants and animals living in a blue sea!
Why it happens
Your crayons are made of wax (蜡). Wax resists, or stays away from the paint. That's why it does not cover the picture. So your sea plants and fish are still there.
()1. Which tool is needed for Step 1?
A. A paintbrush.
B. Different crayons.
C. A small bowl.
D. Some blue paint.
()2. 新考法图示理解 Which picture shows what you do in Step 2?

()3. What does the underlined word "it" in the last part mean?
A. Paper.
B. Water.
C. The bowl.
D. The paint.

1. B 细节理解题。根据Step 1下面的"And then draw the fish and sea plants with your crayons."可知，需要用到的是不同颜色的蜡笔。故选B项。
2. C 细节理解题。根据Step 2下的内容可知，第二步是将蓝色颜料和水倒入碗中并搅拌，选项C符合题意。故选C项。
3. D 词义猜测题。根据"Your crayons are made of wax. Wax resists, or stays away from the paint. That's why it does not cover the picture."可知，颜料因为被蜡排斥而无法覆盖蜡笔画的内容，因此it指代的是the paint。故选D项。
