"The moose(驼鹿)is odd and awkward to look at. Why should it stand so high at the shoulders? Why have so long a head?" The 19th-century writer of those words, Henry David Thoreau, was hardly alone in his comment of the moose. Moose’s funny appearance makes us think that it is clumsy and slow-witted. Is that true? Researchers in North America have uncovered many facts about this unusual animal.
No one denies that the moose is a giant. Adult moose can grow as high as 1. 5 to 2 meters, and weigh as much as 816 kg. Although it has long legs that make it seem foolish, it can run up to 55 km per hour, and those legs can kick off an entire pack of wolves. Moose is
vegetarian
. It feeds on woody plants, leaves and water plants. It learns to swim within days of birth, and they have been observed swimming for miles and diving to a depth of nearly 6 meters to feed on water plants!
A moose can move its eyes and detect motion almost directly behind it without turning its head. Its nose is also an effective tool. Researchers suggest that because the moose’s nostrils(鼻孔)are far apart, they may give it the unusual ability to locate the objects on a 3D scale. The moose’s hearing adds another merit to its sensory package. Its ears can turn to all directions, and they can pick up sounds from other moose as far as 3 km away!
Baby moose tend to be curious and carefree. Their mothers protect them by providing tender and loyal care. They will attack any who are too close to their young, including wolves, bears, and even humans. Finally, when the young is about a year old and its mother is newly pregnant, the mother aggressively drives it away so that it can begin caring for itself.
The word "vegetarian"(Para. 2)probably means______.
选项
A、lovely
B、kind-hearted
C、huge
D、plant-eating
答案
D
解析
此题考查考生词汇量或者根据上下文具体细节内容来推断词汇含义的能力。问题问:词汇“vegetarian”可能是什么意思。根据构词法,vegetarian从拼写上看与vegetable有关,而vegetable的意思是“蔬菜,植物,蔬果;蔬菜的,植物的”,可以推断出vegetarian的意思是“吃蔬菜或植物的人或者动物,素食者;素食的,吃蔬菜或植物的”,因此正确答案应选D,吃植物的。另外,我们还可以利用文章上下文来猜词。相关部分指出:驼鹿是—一。它以木本植物、叶子和水生植物为食。它在出生的几天内就学会了游泳,而且人们已观察到驼鹿可以游数英里,潜水深达近6米去取食水生植物!因此我们可以推断出vegetarian的意思是吃植物的、素食的。选项A:可爱的,令人愉快的;B:善良的,好心的;C:巨大的,宠大的;这三个选项的内容都不符合vegetarian的语义,所以均为干扰项。
