Question

We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.

No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she. It’s true that male mosquito doesn’t bite and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn’t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You’re different from the others!

If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(痒) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itching begins, and she has flown away.

And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：该短文介绍了蚊子的相关知识。雄性蚊子并不咬人，雌性蚊子因为需要血来产卵所以会吸血。它们会选择自己喜欢的血型来咬，而且咬的速度很快，让你都感觉不到异样。等你感到疼痛时，它已经飞走了。吸完血后它要找个地方休息然后产卵。

1.D词义猜测题。根据短文第一段第二句话Mosquitoes fly everywhere和第二段It’s true that male mosquito doesn’t bite(咬) and only the female(雌性的) mosquito bites可知，会飞且只有雌性动物才咬人，由此可猜测指的是蚊子；所以选D。

2.B细节理解题。根据短文开头We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere.可知我们知道都蚊子。蚊子到处飞，所以该选B。

3.D细节理解题。根据短文第二段But if she doesn’t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood.可知当蚊子放弃你时，它会选择其他的对象去叮咬；所以选D。

4.C细节理解题。根据短文第三段第一句If the mosquito likes you,she lands on your body without letting you know.和最后一句By the time the itching begins, and she has flown away.可知蚊子叮咬人时速度之快是不被察觉的；所以选C。

5.文中If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn’t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood.可知如果她喜欢她发现的，她咬。但是如果她不喜欢你的血液，她会转向别人更美味的血液。所以该选D。
