"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.
The moose looks odd and awkward, so______.
选项
A、many people make fun of it
B、many people consider it foolish
C、many researchers study it
D、many people are afraid of it
答案
B
解析
此题是一道细节题,考查考生根据文章中的某个段落中的上下文进行理解和推断的能力。问题问驼鹿看上去奇怪而笨拙,所以怎样。文章第一段与此相关的部分指出,“驼鹿看上去奇怪而笨拙。为什么它要站得跟人的肩膀那么高?为什么它会有这么长的头?”……驼鹿滑稽的外表让我们认为它是笨拙而又迟钝的。由此我们可以推断出人们认为驼鹿蠢笨。因此,本题的正确答案应该是B。选项A:许多人取笑驼鹿,文中没有提到;C:许多科研人员研究驼鹿,与驼鹿看上去奇怪、笨拙没有因果关系,与原文内容不符;D;许多人都害怕它,文章中没有提到。因此,这三个选项均为干扰项。
