Question

閱讀理解 　　We’ve talked about snails(蝸牛)and their slow move．But much of the time snails don’t move at all．They are in their shells(殼)－sleeping． 　　Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body．So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into his shell．A snail will die in a heavy rain．So when it rains, a snail does the same thing, too．A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to．It spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep． 　　In the spring the snail wakes up．Its body, about three inches long, comes out from the shell．When hungry, the snail looks for food．Its eyes, at the end of the top feelers(觸角), are very weak．But its sense(感覺)of smell is very strong．It helps the snail to find food and the new greens． 　　A snail’s mouth is no bigger than the point of a pin(大頭針)．Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are very small, and you can’t see them．If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out!

Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．C;3．B;4．D;5．C;
解析：

(1)	根據(jù)開頭的“But much of the time snails don’t move at all．They are in their shells ----sleeping．”這句話，顯然只有D是正確答案．
(2)	本題屬熟詞新義．由“Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body．So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into his shell．”一句的意思，尤其是要仔細(xì)考慮關(guān)鍵詞“into”對(duì)猜測詞義的輔助作用，可知蝸牛一旦碰到炙熱的太陽，就會(huì)把身體蜷縮進(jìn)殼里．
(3)	答案即是“Its eyes, at the end of the top feelers are very weak．”這句話．
(4)	關(guān)鍵要理解好“So when it rains, a snail does the same thing, too．”這句話中的“the same thing”的意思．事實(shí)上，由“In the spring the snail wakes up．…comes out from the shell．”和“…in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out！”是很容易排除B、C和A的．
(5)	根據(jù)短文最后一句話“And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones．”，可以判斷C項(xiàng)是明顯的錯(cuò)誤． 　　這篇短文向我們介紹了蝸牛的生活習(xí)性．無論是烈日當(dāng)空，還是大雨滂沱，蝸牛都會(huì)像整個(gè)冬季一樣，呆在殼里睡覺．春天來臨的時(shí)候，蝸牛就拖著三英寸長的身體從殼里鉆出來，靠它那靈敏的觸角覓食．別看它的嘴比大頭針尖大不了多少，卻長著25萬多顆牙齒呢！
