问题     "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.
We can learn from Paragraph 3 that the moose______.
选项 A、is a gentle animal
B、is an aggressive animal
C、has very sharp senses
D、lives far apart from one another
答案C
解析 此题考查考生根据文章中具体细节内容进行分析和引申推断的能力。问题问我们可以从第三段中了解到驼鹿怎样。文章第三段重点介绍了驼鹿的眼睛、鼻子和耳朵等器官的独特性：驼鹿可以移动眼睛并且不用转动头部几乎就能直接察觉到它身体后面的动作。它的鼻子也是一种有效的工具。科研人员认为，由于驼鹿的两个鼻孔离得远，会使它具有一种非同寻常的能力，可以以三维尺度来定位物体。驼鹿的听觉也为它的感官包增加了另一个优点。它的耳朵可以向各个方向转动，听到其他驼鹿从远达3千米的地方发出的声音!由此我们可以推断出驼鹿有很敏锐的感官。所以，本题的正确答案应该是C。选项A：是一种温和的动物；B：是一种好斗的动物；D：彼此居住得距离很远；这三个选项都不符合原文内容，因此均为干扰项。
