【分析】
首先梳理清晰解题思路：1. 做排序题时，先定位短文末尾明确给出的谜底出现顺序：鸟、蝴蝶、青蛙、蜘蛛、怪物，对照题干插图对应排序即可。2. 做判断题时，逐题回到对应谜语的描述中，结合简单计算+生活常识判断句子正误。3. 仿写题结合常见动物的外形常识，填入符合语法和逻辑的内容即可，答案不唯一。
【解析】
I. 短文最后明确说明五个谜底的出现顺序为birds、butterflies、frogs、spiders、monsters，对照题干给出的插图按该顺序排序，即可得到对应序号。
II.
1. 第二个谜语提到3只蝴蝶共有12只翅膀，计算可得单只蝴蝶有4只翅膀，和题干“蝴蝶有2只翅膀”表述不符，判断为F。
2. 第一个谜语提到3只鸟共有6条短腿，说明鸟的腿是短的，和题干表述一致，判断为T。
3. 第四个谜语提到蜘蛛的头部描述为small heads（小脑袋），和题干“蜘蛛有大脑袋”表述不符，判断为F。
4. 最后一个谜语明确说明怪物"We can fly too"，和题干“怪物会飞”表述一致，判断为T。
III. 本题为开放性仿写题，只要填入的内容符合动物外形常识、语法通顺即可，给出参考示例供参考。
