【解析】本文讲述的是海龟的生活习性以及与其它乌龟的不同之处。

1.考查名词辨析。 根据后面提到的The largest kind of sea turtle can grow as long as eight feet可知应选B。dwarf 矮子 mammal哺乳动物  ancestor 祖先 giant巨人。

2.考查动词辨析。根据后面的单位pounds可知应选weigh（重达）.

3.考查动词短语辨析。根据句意，最小的种类可以长到长达28英寸。其实，这里的grow是单独一个动词，而up to表示多达…，并非grow up(成长)的意思。

4.考查动词辨析。许多其他的乌龟是足够的小以至于适合在你的手中。fit是大小的适合；suit主要是指款式、颜色的适合；match是匹配的意思；seize逮住。

5.考查动词短语。根据意思，一旦他们孵化回到海里以后，他们不会回到(return to)岸上。

6.考查动词短语辨析。keep up with 跟上，不落后；keep track of 记录；跟踪 keep in touch with保持联系 keep to坚持；遵守 根据句意，这使得跟踪他们的行迹很难。故选B。

7.考查常识题。海龟呆在(stay)水里是因为水里安全。他们不是躲在(hide)水里。下文倒数第二段中也有提示。

8.考查动词辨析。pull 拉 push 推 draw 拖drag 缓慢而吃力地行进 pull…into…把…拉进…中。海龟不能把它的头和脚都缩进他们的壳里。

9.考查介词或副词。hide from隐瞒；躲藏。意思为：海龟不能把自己躲在壳里瞒过其它要吃他们的动物。

10.考查连系动词辨析。turn指在颜色和性质等方面与以前的完全不同，强调变化的结果。turn的主语多为物；故天气变暖应用turn，C、D不是连系动词。

11.考查lay的用法。 lay eggs 下蛋 lie 位于，躺 此处应用原形，故C、D均错误。

12.考查other的用法。the other用于两者中另一个；other其它的 another另一个；另外的基数词应放在another的后面；others是代词 其它的…后面不跟名词，others="other" turtles.根据句意，此处应为其它的乌龟，故应用other.

13.乌龟一部分时间在岸上，一部分时间在水里。两者是并列关系，故用and。

14.考查疑问词。根据意思，理解为什么海龟水里是很容易的。

15.考查上下文串联。根据后面the ability to walk可知答案为C.

16.考查动词辨析。海归在陆地上不是散步(walk)，也不是徘徊（wander），更不可能是玩(play)，故选B。

17.考查形容词辨析。adopted 被收养的；被采纳的； adapted适合的；adequate充足的 admitted 公认的 根据意思：他们更能适应水里的生活。

18.考查上下文串联。根据下文的the way their feet are made.可知答案为A。

19.考查名词辨析，根据下文When they swim, they flap their feet like a bird flaps its wings.可知答案为A. paddle船桨
