Man has become master of the earth’ s surface. He is constantly probing into the earth’ s depths and into the atmosphere’ s upper reaches. Yet it is doubtful whether man, with ’all of his intelligence and vigor, holds his planetary seat with greater assurance than a vast tribe of small, many-legged animals that pass their lives at his feet--the spiders.
Spiders are among the miracles of science. They dwell at higher altitudes than any other creature their size or lager. On the slopes of Mount Everest, at an altitude of twenty-two thousand feet-- five thousand feet above the vegetation line--lives a species of black spider only a quarter of an inch long. This is an incredible environment for creatures so delicately constructed. To protect themselves from the chill of night, they take shelter in crevices where the twenty-four-hour variation in temperature is only twelve degrees, as against forty-four on the outside.
Spiders inhabit others unlikely places--rabbit burrows, flowers, anthills, and the desolate, drafty aeries of eagles. They have been found soaring through the air five miles above the earth. One species has been discovered in an African cavern move than two thousand feet underground.
The species of black spiders discovered on Mount Everest is ______.
选项
A、the smallest species of spiders
B、the highest altitude dweller among creatures of that size or larger
C、the only creature that lives at that altitude
D、capable of surviving in any environment
答案
B
解析
第二段提到蜘蛛dwell at higher altitudes than any other creature their size or larger,可见蜘蛛在和它大小相似或比它大点的动物当中居住海拔最高。

你可能在花费过多的时间竭力去赢得他人的赞许,也可能因别人的非议而费心劳神。如果别人的赞许已成为你生活中的一种需要,那么,你就不能听之任之了。首先,你应该认识到:寻求赞许与其说是生活之必需,不如说是一种欲望。我们都愿意博得掌声、听到赞扬或受到称颂。精神上受到
获得更多知识的惟一途径是通过教育和培训。知识如同资本、物质资源和汗水一样,已经变成了生产的一个必要因素——也许是最基本的因素。因此,一个社会的教育体系应该是能够向以知识为基础的工作迅速转变,否则这个社会就将不可避免地落在后面。
我要表达的观点是,作为当代的大学生,我们必须极为尊重知识,尤其是尊重对知识的追求,并非常重视传统、社会的约束和连续性。
