问题     You should not fear spiders thanks to their poison. Of all the spiders in   【M1】______
North America, only one kind is really dangerous and most would not bite if
they were handled. They much prefer to run away or dropping to the ground       【M2】______
on a thread of silk. Even so, when a spider runs directly toward a person, it
gives impression that it is about to attack. Actually, it cannot see the person 【M3】______
on its way. The spider is too short-sighted to see things at the distance. It   【M4】______
only wanted to go where it won’ t be disturbed. In America one kind of spider   【M5】______
is responsible for the frightened reputation of the rest. It is the Black Widow.【M6】______
Such called because the female, which is larger than the male, often eats her   【M7】______
husband after making love. The Black Widow is found in all states or is most    【M8】______
common in the south and the west. She constructs a loose, irregular web
under a pile of ruin or near the foundations of buildings where she is seldom   【M9】______
disturbed. She is not an attacking spider and many people have proven this by
letting her to crawl over their hands. When she bites, it is usually in self-   【M10】______
defense. In spite of the stories you may have had heard, it is rare for a person
to be bitten by a Black Widow and even more unusual for the bite to prove
fatal But remember that her poison is powerful and even though she is shy,
she should be respected.
【M1】
选项
答案thanks—改成owing。
解析 thanks to表示“多亏，由于”之义，后面常接表示积极含义的名词。根据上下文， thanks to的使用显然不妥，因为该句中thanks to后接的宾语是poison(毒药)。因而，应将thanks改为 owing。
