问题     Have you ever been bitten? Of course you have. You are surrounded by living things which might, or do, bite. Even when you rest your head on your pillow, bedbugs are probably nibbling you. They live happily inside
    Take a walk outside and you are a target for " man’s best friend". Hundreds of dog-bite victims visit US emergency rooms daily. Many bites are terrible. To avoid the dogs in your neighborhood, you might want to hike into the desert or the woods. There, you run the risk of bites from rattlesnakes, scorpions, and blood-sucking ticks, not to mention bears, wolves, and mountain lions.
    Speaking of housing, watch out when you touch the corner of your house. Shy but deadly, the black widow spider and the brown recluse spider make themselves comfortable in quiet areas of your closets. One bite from either of them can make you very sick, and occasionally, people may die from such bites. Unfortunately, many people fear all spiders, not just the few dangerous ones. People often squash them or run away from them at first sight, not realizing that most spiders are actually beneficial to man.
    If you’re concerned about bites, don’t forget about rabid (患狂犬病的) animal bites. Any warm-blooded animal can get infected with rabies. Although humans in the US rarely get attacked by rabid animals, the disease is painful and dangerous. You will most likely die if you are not treated properly within 48 hours after being bitten.
When you are at home, you will probably be bitten by________.
①rattlesnakes ②bedbugs ③bears ④spiders ⑤lions
选项 A、④
B、②③
C、③⑤
D、②④
答案D
解析 根据第一段倒数第二句“Even when you rest your head on your pillow, bedbugs are probably nibbling you. ”和第三段第二句“…the black widow spider and the brown recluse spider make themselves comfortable in quiet areas of your closets. ”可知，臭虫和蜘蛛会分别出现在室内的枕头里和壁橱中，因此你在家时很可能会被它们咬，所以D项正确。根据常识和第二段最后两句“…the desert or the woods. There, you run the risk of bites from rattlesnakes, scorpions, and blood-sucking ticks, not to mention bears, wolves, and mountain lions. ”可知，rattlesnakes(响尾蛇)，bears(熊)，lions(狮子)一般只会在户外遇到，所以排除A、B、C三项。故选D。
