B. origin  E. produce    H. neutralized
C. purpose F.suffer from I. poisoned

选项

答案B,E,G

解析 首句说青蛙皮肤包含剧毒物质。空格(i)和空格(ii)联动,说这种毒素的(i)________仍然是个谜,因为青蛙并不(ii)________它们。后面说如今发现了毒素的源头________melyrid beetle。现在发现了源头,证明在此之前大家并不知道这种毒素的源头在哪里。因此空格(i)要与此有关,B项origin(起源)符合。空格(ii)表示青蛙与毒素的关系,因为beetle是起源,所以青蛙并不产生毒素,空格(ii)表达“产生”的含义,E项produce(产生)最符合。再看空格(iii),由于收集到的beetle标本都包含毒素,表明这些beetles是被青蛙________的。联系前面的内容,青蛙皮肤有毒,但毒素是beetle产生的,所以beetle是被青蛙吃了,G项eaten(吃掉)符合。
