Why, you may wonder, should spiders be our friends? (26)Because they destroy so many insects, and insects include some of the greatest enemies of the human race. Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they would devour all our crops and kill our flocks and herds, if it were not for the protection we get from insect-eating animals. (27)We owe a lot to the birds and beasts which eat insects but all of them put together kill only a fraction of the number destroyed by spiders. Moreover, unlike some of the other insect eaters, (26)spiders never do the harm to us or our belongings.
Spiders are not insects, as many people think, nor even nearly related to them. One can tell the difference almost at a glance, (28)for a spider always has eight legs and insect never more than six.
How many spiders are engaged in this work in our behalf? One authority on spiders made a census of the spiders in grass field in the south of England, and he estimated that there were more than 2 250 000 in one acre; that is something like 6 000 000 spiders of different kinds on a football pitcll. (29)Spiders are busy for at least half the year in killing insects. It is impossible to make more than the wildest guess at how many they kill, but they are hungry creatures, not content with only three meals a day. It has been estimated that the weight of all the insects destroyed by spiders in Britain in one year would be greater than the total weight of all the human beings in the country.
选项
A、They eat as many insects as spiders.
B、They eat more insects than spiders.
C、They can’t compare with spiders as destroyers of insects.
D、They destroy a larger fraction of insects than spiders.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题 。我们往往将(消灭害虫的)功劳归于鸟类与兽类,但是这两者消灭害虫的总量不过是蜘蛛消灭害虫数量的一小部分,即C “鸟类与兽类在消灭害虫方面是无法与蜘蛛相比的”。
