1.Spiders
Spiders can be distinguished from other Arachnids because the prosoma is only separated from the opisthosoma by a narrow waist, in other Arachnids the whole body appears to be much more of a single unit. All spiders produce silk, but only some construct webs to catch their homes and to protect their eggs.
All spiders possess poison glands but very few of them are dangerous to humans, of the 600 species in Britain only 12 are strong enough to pierce the human skin, and apart from allergies, none are more dangerous than a common wasp. Most spiders have 8 eyes , as well as 8 legs. then their legs have 8 parts as well. There are more than 32,000 known species of spider in the world. No human being has ever been officially recorder as having died as the result of atarantulabite.
All spiders are carnivorous and feed only on liquids, i.e. their preys natural juices and the breakdown products of external digestion . So why not invite some to your next social do?
Whats In a Name
The word Arachnida comes from the Greek word Arachne, who was the daughter of Idmon of Colophon in Lydia, a dyer by trade. Arachne herself was a weaver, the best in all the known world. However in a foolish moment she challenged Athene, the daughter of Zeus and goddess of, among other things, waving to a weaving competition. Arachne wove so perfect a cloth that she tore it to shreds. Arachne became depressed after this and in the end she hung herself. Athene stirred to remorse at the knowledge of what her anger had wrought turned the rope Arachne had used to hang herself into a web and Arachne herself into a spider so that the beauty of her spinning should not be lost to the world ever again.
The Great Household Spider Safari
There are just over six hundred different sorts of spiders in the British Isles. But of these only a handful are commonly found in houses. At the front of the head are a pair of what appear to be small legs. These are called palps and are used to guide food to the spiders mouth. The front of the head also has a group of six or eight eyes. On the underside of the body at the rear, are four or six small conical bumps or cylinders. There are the spinnerets from which the spider produces the silk to make its webs.
Telling male and female spiders apart is easily done by looking at their palps. Males have swollen ends to their palps which makes them look as if they are wearing boxing gloves, these are often strange shapes if looked at with a hand lens. Females have normal looking palps that are not swollen at the ends.

【答案與解析】
1.N 當(dāng)出現(xiàn)all這種過于絕對的詞語時(shí),考生應(yīng)該引起注意。一般這樣的命題多數(shù)是不正確的。首段中有句話:All spiders produce silk, but only some construct webs to catch their hcmes...命題中all的說法過于絕對。
2.Y該命題是對原文第二段首句話的同義改寫。
3.N原文中第二段首句中寫到,of the 600 spiders in Britain only 12 are strong enough to pierce the human skin,因此并不是命題中說的當(dāng)它們刺進(jìn)人的皮膚通常能致人死亡。
4.N原文中說,Arachne became depressed after this and in the end she hung herself.注意代詞this指代上面的句子,結(jié)合上一句一起理解,命題顯然是錯誤的。
5. NG文章中只出現(xiàn)過一次Tim Tegenaria,所以該題很好定位,即最后一段的第二句。可是文章中并沒有出現(xiàn)tarantula spiders。
6.Y該命題定位在最后一段倒數(shù)第三句話處。
7.NG首先定位Money spiders出現(xiàn)的位置是文章的最后的兩句,可是并沒有提到它是最小的。
8.32,000該題由關(guān)鍵詞species of spider定位在第二段倒數(shù)第二句。
9.looking at their palps 該題定位在倒數(shù)第二段的首句。
10.the Goliath spider 本題答案在最后一段的首句。
