By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder(蝰蛇). In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.
Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs (外行) heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.
All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.
The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person is, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.
Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.
Which of the following statements is NOT true?
选项
A、The adder is the only poisonous snake in Britain.
B、In Scotland there are no other snakes except the adder.
C、Snake bites seem more dangerous than they actually are.
D、People’s attempts at emergency treatment are utterly unnecessary.
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。由文章第二段最后一句“Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself,with amateurs heroically,but mistakenly,trying do一it—yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.”可知,当非专业人员错误地实施外科手术和其他不必要措施时,急救才有可能变得更糟。选项D过于绝对,故本题应选D。另外,根据文章第一段第二句、第三句和第二段第一句可判断出选项A、B、C均正确。
