The goal was simple, to discover how the 【C4】________adapted to the kind of heat that can【C5】________melt the bottom of shoes.
Back in Belgium, the scientists looked at the ants under an electronic microscope and found that their【C6】________, triangular hair reflects light like a prism (棱镜), giving them a metallic reflection and protecting them from the sun’s awful heat. When Ph. D. student Quentin Willot【C7】________the hair from an ant with a【C8】________knife and put it under a heat lamp, its temperature jumped.
The ants’ method of staying cool is【C9】________among animals. Could this reflective type of hair protect people?

选项
答案
N
解析
形容词辨析题。空格位于不定冠词a之后,名词knife之前,因此空格处需要填入形容词。空格所在部分的句意为:当博士生昆汀.维洛特用一把_______刀从一只蚂蚁身上清除毛发。因为蚂蚁身体很小,所以用的刀子应该也是很小的,因此空格处应填入含有“小的”意义的形容词,故本题答案为N)tiny。
