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 re-uses 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.

选项 A、frightening
B、capturing
C、luring
D、eating

答案 B

解析此题考查动词词义辨析。既然宾语是prey，那动词就是capture。蜘蛛网不可能用来惊吓(frighten)猎物，也不是用来引诱(lure)猎物的，其主要功用还是捕获猎物，而不是吃(eat)猎物。经比较，只有B项符合题意。
