问题 By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder (蝰蛇,小毒蛇). In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.
Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically (英雄地)，but mistakenly trying to do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measure.
All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.
The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites in Britain and though the bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness. [br] If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder, you should______.

选项 A、operate as soon as possible
B、not worry about the victim
C、make no attempt to treat the bite
D、try to catch the adder

答案 C

解析本题问如果你和一个被蝰蛇咬伤的人在一起的话，你应该怎样做。本文第二段指出，大多数人认为被蛇咬伤是一种灭顶之祸，其实并不是所有的咬伤都很严重，只有极少数是致命的。有时，试图紧急处理倒是比蛇咬伤本身更危险，比如，让外行人莽撞、错误地做自助式处理或采取了不必要的救助措施等会更加危险。由此我们可以推知，本题的正确答案应选C“不要试图处理咬伤”。
