问题     "The moose(驼鹿)is odd and awkward to look at. Why should it stand so high at the shoulders? Why have so long a head?" The 19th-century writer of those words, Henry David Thoreau, was hardly alone in his comment of the moose. Moose’s funny appearance makes us think that it is clumsy and slow-witted. Is that true? Researchers in North America have uncovered many facts about this unusual animal.
    No one denies that the moose is a giant. Adult moose can grow as high as 1. 5 to 2 meters, and weigh as much as 816 kg. Although it has long legs that make it seem foolish, it can run up to 55 km per hour, and those legs can kick off an entire pack of wolves. Moose is vegetarian. It feeds on woody plants, leaves and water plants. It learns to swim within days of birth, and they have been observed swimming for miles and diving to a depth of nearly 6 meters to feed on water plants!
    A moose can move its eyes and detect motion almost directly behind it without turning its head. Its nose is also an effective tool. Researchers suggest that because the moose’s nostrils(鼻孔)are far apart, they may give it the unusual ability to locate the objects on a 3D scale. The moose’s hearing adds another merit to its sensory package. Its ears can turn to all directions, and they can pick up sounds from other moose as far as 3 km away!
    Baby moose tend to be curious and carefree. Their mothers protect them by providing tender and loyal care. They will attack any who are too close to their young, including wolves, bears, and even humans. Finally, when the young is about a year old and its mother is newly pregnant, the mother aggressively drives it away so that it can begin caring for itself. [br] This passage is intended to tell us that______.
选项 A、the moose is really a giant and quiet animal
B、we should protect the environment for the moose
C、the moose is not clumsy and foolish at all
D、people should not disturb the moose’s life
答案 C
解析 此题是一道综合分析、概括总结文章的写作目的类问题。题干问这篇文章试图告诉我们什么。文章一开始提出疑问：驼鹿看上去奇怪而笨拙，其滑稽的外表让我们认为它是笨拙而又迟钝的。这是真的吗?接着作者以北美的科研人员已经发现的许多事实来证明驼鹿其实不是愚笨、迟钝的动物，例如：它在出生的数日内就学会了游泳并且可以游数英里，潜水深达近6米去取食水生植物，具有敏锐的感官如眼睛、鼻子和耳朵，从而使它能很好地察觉动作、物体和声音，还很会照顾幼崽、判断危险和教育幼崽。由此我们可以看出本文的写作目的是介绍驼鹿是一种聪明的动物。因此，本题的正确答案应该是C，驼鹿根本就不笨拙、愚蠢。选项A：驼鹿真是一种安静的巨兽，不符合原文内容；B：为了驼鹿我们应该保护环境，文章中没有提及；D：人们不应该打扰驼鹿的生活，文章中没有提到；因此，这三个选项均为干扰项。
