First，they eat lots of insects．One spider can eat over 2，000 insects a year.Without them，your home and garden would be full of flies，mosquitoes(蚊子) and beetles.Spiders also have something special that makes them different from any other animal.‎ All spiders can spin silk(吐丝)，but not all spiders spin webs(织网)．Jumping spiders，for example，have great eyesight but they don't spin webs.‎ Spiders can produce seven different kinds of silk.Some silk has special glue that helps them to catch insects.However，the other kinds have no special glue.‎ Spiders make a nest of silk to protect their eggs.They place the eggs on the nest and then cover it with more silk to make a soft pocket.Spiders' silk is so strong that it has been compared to steel.‎ Most spiders eat insects，but a few large spiders eat small animals like birds and lizards.‎ ‎(C)21.People are afraid of spiders because ________．‎ A．they look ugly B．they eat birds C．they bite D．they eat insects ‎(C)22.There are ________ kinds of spiders are venomous in America.‎ A．four B．three C．two D．one ‎(A)23.The underlined word “insects” means “________” in Chinese.‎ A．昆虫 B．家畜 ‎ C．植物 D．水果 ‎ ‎(D)24.All spiders can ________．‎ A．hurt people B．spin webs C．eat little birds D．spin silk ‎(B)25.Which is the best title for the passage?‎ A．Where Spiders Often Live B．Some Facts about Spiders C．What We Can Do with Spiders D．Spiders Are in Great Danger 4‎ 第三节　根据短文内容，从短文后所给的选项中，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Many people want to get away from the cold winter sometimes. __26__ Hawaii is famous for its bright sky and blue ocean.Every year thousands of tourists go to the island to have fun. __27__ Even though it is interesting，it can be boring if you do it every day. __28__ Go to the waikiki beach.It's an exciting water park on Oahu.It covers 100，000 square meters of land and has 25 rides and attractions.‎ You can choose any of the exciting water slides(滑梯) there.They will make you feel excited!‎ You can let your children play by themselves when you have fun. __29____ ‎ The waikiki beach is the only water park in the state of Hawaii.It's a perfect place for you and your children to relax.There is even a place where you can take care of your baby!
