信息还原
The sloth is a very special animal that lives in the warm, rainy forests of South America. It is famous for moving very, very slowly, often taking several minutes just to travel a short distance.
13.
A
. This helps it hide from animals that might want to eat it, because predators often notice fast movement more easily.
A sloth spends almost its whole life hanging upside down in trees, high above the ground. 14.
E
. But that's because they eat leaves, which give it very little energy. That's one reason why it moves so slowly—to save energy.
15.
D
. Its fur grows in a different way, from its belly towards its back. This helps rainwater run off more easily when it hangs upside down, keeping it drier and healthier even in the wet rainforest.
Even though sloths are slow, they are good swimmers! 16.
B
.
The sloth teaches us that in nature, being different can also be a good way to survive, and that every animal has its own special skills and adaptations for life in its home environment.
A. Its slow movement is actually a clever way to stay safe
B. Sometimes it climbs down from the tree to swim across rivers
C. They sleep for about 15 to 20 hours every single day
D. Another interesting fact is about its hair
E. Many people think sloths are lazy because of their speed

解析

【分析】
这是一篇英语阅读信息还原题,解题思路如下:第一步先通读全文,明确文章核心是介绍树懒的独特习性与生存适应特征,同时通读所有备选选项,标记每个选项的核心含义;第二步逐空分析前后文的逻辑关联,通过指代关系、转折逻辑、主题-支撑句的对应关系匹配选项:1. 先看13空后句的"This helps it hide from animals that might want to eat it",需要找到能对应“帮助躲避天敌”的前文内容;2. 14空后出现转折词But,后文解释原因是树叶提供的能量少,说明空处是大众对树懒的某种固有误解;3. 15空后文全部介绍树懒皮毛的特殊生长方向,空处需要起到引出毛发相关特征的作用;4. 16空前句点明树懒擅长游泳,空处需要衔接和游泳行为相关的内容,最终匹配出所有正确选项。
【解析】
13. 空后内容提到这种特点能帮助树懒躲避捕食者,A选项“它缓慢的移动实际上是保证安全的聪明方法”正好对应后文躲避天敌的作用,后句的This就指代树懒移动缓慢的生存策略,逻辑完全衔接。
14. 空后用But转折,解释树懒行动慢是因为吃的树叶提供能量很少,E选项“很多人因为树懒的速度觉得它们很懒”正好引出后文的原因解释,消解大众的误解,转折逻辑通顺。
15. 空后整段都在介绍树懒皮毛的特殊生长方向的作用,D选项“另一个有趣的事实和它的毛发有关”作为本段的主题句,引出后文对毛发特征的介绍,关键词hair和后文的fur呼应。
16. 空前句点明树懒很擅长游泳,B选项“有时候它会从树上爬下来游过河流”是对树懒擅长游泳的具体行为举例,前后内容呼应。
