   Male crabs attract passing females by waving their large yellow claws. If a female loves a male,she will go into his 4 in the sand,and if she likes the hole as much as she likes the wave,she’ll 5 and become the male crab's wife.

   But how do females choose 6 two waving crabs? Now a team from the Australian National University in Canberra have worked out 7 female crabs are looking for.

    In the hot Australian sun,scientists set up two robotic arms. The claws were different in size. And scientists waved 8 at a different speed. The team showed that females like males with larger claws 9 ,and more vigorous (精力旺盛的) waves,especially if the male is loved by two less athletic wavers.

導(dǎo)讀澳大利亞有一種奇怪的螃蟹——機(jī)械螃蟹。它們擁 有一只特別大的螯,就像小提琴一樣。雌蟹喜歡那些以 最大的舞蹈動(dòng)作來吸引自己的雄蟹。

詳析

1. A科學(xué)家把它叫做“機(jī)械螃蟹”,call意為“叫做,稱呼”。

2. C由下文雄蟹必須依靠舞動(dòng)自己的大螯來吸引雌蟹可知,此處的泥灘是他的“舞池”。

3. D 第二段第一句的“Male crabs attract passing females."給了我們提示,故選attract“吸引”。

4. C由下文的“if she likes the hole”可知,此處表示如果雌蟹愛上雄蟹,她就會(huì)鉆進(jìn)他的洞里。

5. A根據(jù)此處語境可知,雌蟹會(huì)留下來成為他的妻子。stay意為“留下”。

6. C雌蟹在兩只都舞動(dòng)大螯的螃蟹之間如何選擇呢?between意為“在……之間”

7. B此處what引導(dǎo)賓語從句,并在從句中作looking for的賓語。

8. B此處由賓格them指代上文提到的the claws。

9. A雌蟹更喜歡螯較大的雄蟹。like sth. better意為“更喜歡

10. A對(duì)于一個(gè)雄蟹來說,要使自己在雌蟹面前更有吸引力,他最好選擇跟軟弱的朋友在一起消磨時(shí)間。

weak意為“虛 弱的,軟弱的”,符合題意。
