问题    To many web-building spiders, most of 【C1】______  are nearly blind, the web is their essential window 【C2】______ the world: their means of communicating, 【C3】______ prey, meeting mates and protecting themselves. A web-building spider 【C4】______ its web is like a man marooned on an island of solid rock, totally out of touch and destined to starve to death. So 【C5】______ is the web to an orb-web spider’s survival that the animal will continue to construct new webs daily 【C6】______ it is being starved.
   For 16 days the 【C7】______ spider builds completely normal webs. Then, as the animal gets scrawnier, it constructs a wider-meshed web using 【C8】______ strands. Such webs would only trap larger prey, which is more 【C9】______  from the perspective of a starving spider.
   The spider 【C10】______ energy by recycling web protein. It simply eats its own web each evening and reuses it to manufacture 【C11】______ silk. In studies with radioactively labeled materials, it 【C12】______ that 95 percent of web protein reappeared in 【C13】______ web. Most of the energy needed for web-building is used in walking over the strands as they are laid down.
   Scientists are 【C14】______ by the adaptability of the spider’s highly preprogrammed brain, which is larger 【C15】______  its size than the brain of any other invertebrate. If web-building is interrupted, or if some of the 【C16】______ strands are destroyed, the spider 【C17】______ retraces its steps to see where the web is 【C18】______ and then finishes building a 【C19】______ web. One spider will even finish building the incomplete web of 【C20】______ . [br] 【C20】

选项 A、itself
B、the other
C、another
D、one another

答案 C

解析最后一句话的意思是：一个蜘蛛甚至会去完成另外一个蜘蛛的未竟事业。很显然，正确答案应该是C项。首先，从even一词，就知道这里不可能是A项itself。另外，这里不是两者作比较，故B项the other可排除。因为主语是one spider，所以D项one another也不可以用。因此，唯有C项符合题意。
