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 conclude from the last paragraph that mother moose______.
选项 A、take good care of their kids only for a short time
B、take those approaching their young as a threat
C、give birth to only one baby once in a year
D、prefer younger babies to older ones
答案B
解析 此题考查考生根据上下文具体细节内容进行分析推断的能力。问题问从最后一段我们可以得出结论：母驼鹿怎样。根据最后一段内容：驼鹿宝宝的母亲通过提供温柔而又忠实的照顾来保护它们。驼鹿妈妈会攻击任何太靠近它们幼崽的动物，包括狼、熊，甚至人类。最后，当驼鹿宝宝一岁左右时，驼鹿妈妈会重新怀孕，这时驼鹿妈妈就会凶巴巴地驱赶幼驼鹿，以便幼驼鹿可以开始照顾自己。由此我们可以得出结论：母驼鹿会将那些接近其幼崽的动物视作威胁。因此，本题的正确答案应该是B。选项A：只有很短的时间好好照顾其幼崽，原文中提到母驼鹿会照顾幼崽至一岁左右，不能算作只有很短的时间；C：一年只生一次而且只有一只幼崽，文章中没有提及；D：喜欢比较幼小的驼鹿，不喜欢比较年长的驼鹿，原文中没有提及；三个选项均为干扰项。
