To many web-building spiders, most of whom are nearly blind, and the web is their essential window on the world:their means of communicating, capturing prey, meeting mates and protecting themselves. A web-building spider without its web is like a man marooned on an island of solid rock, totally out of touch and destined to starve to death.
So vital is the web to an orb-web spider’s survival that the animal will continue to construct new webs daily even if it is being starved. For 16 days the starving spider builds completely normal webs. Then, as the animal gets scrawnier, it constructs a wider-meshed web using fewer strands. Such webs would only trap larger prey, which is more economical from the perspective of a starving spider.
The spider conserves energy by recycling web protein. It simply eats its own web each evening and re-uses it to manufacture new silk. In studies with radioactively labeled materials, it was found that 95 percent of web protein reappears in the next day’s web. Most of the energy needed for web-building is used in walking over the strands as they are laid down.
Scientists are impressed by the adaptability of the spider’s highly preprogrammed brain, which is larger for its size than the brain of any other invertebrate. If web-building is interrupted, or if some of the existing strands are destroyed, the spider simply retraces its steps to see where the web is left off and then finishes building a normal web. One spider will even finish building the incomplete web of another. [br] According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
选项
A、All web-building spiders are blind.
B、Most spiders are blind.
C、Only a small part of web-building spiders can see.
D、All spiders can weave webs.
答案
C
解析
从短文第一句话:“To many web-building spiders,most of whom are nearly blind",可推理出:"Not all web-building spiders are blind”,“Not all spiders weave webs",“Most of the web-building spiders are blind"和"Only some web-building spiders can see",由此可以断定A ,B 和D 不是真实的。惟一正确答
