答案D

解析 在划线部分出现了两个代词they和its,此题的关键就在于我们能否正确找出其分别所指代的对象。据题意,可判断出they和its都应指代the bite(单数),为什么?如果they指代spiders在形式上是对的,在逻辑上却讲不通,因为不是“蜘蛛导致伤口”而是“蜘蛛的叮咬导致伤口”;假设its不是指代the bite,而是指spiders,与后面未划线部分的poison联系起来似乎更合理,但请不要忘记,主句中是说the bite给老年人和婴儿造成最大的威胁,因而,紧接着相应的who定语从句也应该说是“老人和婴儿对这种叮咬所导致的毒素特别敏感”,而不会跳跃转而说老人和婴儿对这种蜘蛛的毒素特别敏感。由指代可看出A、B、C、E均错(其中指代一个或两个错)。D中把原句中的posing分词短语改为了与cause词组并列的一个动宾短语,准确反映了原句的意思,从逻辑上说,cause和pose两个动作并非伴随状态或伴随结果的关系,而是一个并列的同等重要的动作,前面cause是针对一个大范围说的,而后者pose是针对一个特殊人群(老人和婴儿)所说的。本句还可从主谓一致考虑,在although从句中用are均错,排除A、B再按指代原则排除C、E。
