Question

Some snakes eat other snakes, even poisonous ones. The poison does not do them any harm(傷害). Snakes can swallow(吞下) things that are bigger around than they themselves are. This is possible because the jawbones(腭骨) are loosely joined, and the mouth can stretch（伸展）to make room for a fat animal. The snake’s slim body stretches to make space for the animal when it is inside.
Many snakes eat birds’ eggs or frogs（青蛙）. Others eat pests（害蟲）, mice and other animals that harm crops on farms. Because snakes do this valuable work, you should never kill one. It is too dangerous for you to kill a poisonous one. Leave that job to experts.
小題1: Which of the following groups of food is usually had by a snake?

A．Mice, crops, birds’ eggs.

B．Pests, frogs, some animals, plants.

C．Birds’ eggs, frogs, all animals, other snakes.

D．Mice, frogs, pests, some animals, other snakes.

試題分析：提到蛇你會想到什么？有毒、可怕或者會傷人？其實蛇的食物鏈有很多，包括蛇、青蛙鳥蛋，更有老鼠等破壞莊稼的動物。從這一點來看，對人類還是有益的。它的攻擊大多是出于自衛和獵食。那就順其自然吧。
小題1:細節理解題。根據第二段可知，蛇吃其他的蛇、鳥蛋、青蛙、還吃害蟲、破壞莊稼的老鼠和其他動物，但是不吃莊稼和植物，也不是所有的動物都吃，所以排除其他選項， 選D。
小題2:細節理解題。根據第二段可知，盡管有的蛇吃鳥蛋、青蛙，但是其他的一些蛇會吃破壞破壞莊稼的動物，對人類有幫助。并不是所有的蛇都有毒害，其他和主題不一致，而B（它能做一些對人類有益的事。）符合。
小題3:細節理解題。根據Others eat pests（害蟲）, mice and other animals that harm crops on farms.可知，蛇可以做有寶貴的工作，因為有的蛇吃害蟲、破壞莊稼的老鼠和其他動物。所以選A。
小題4:主題歸納題。文章介紹了優點蛇吃青蛙等，但是還有的蛇以破壞莊稼的害蟲為食，對人類有貢獻。所以選A。蛇有毒，所以不能把它當作好朋友來對待。只是對蛇看法轉變而已。
