【分析】
首先通读全文，明确文章核心是介绍不同动物的成长特点，解题时逐空定位前后文内容，通过“总起句+举例”的逻辑对应关系匹配选项：第1空后文列举了新生袋鼠、新生猴子完全无法自理、依靠母兽照料的案例，找能总领该部分内容的选项；第2空前文提到部分幼崽出生后很快就能行走奔跑，找对应符合该特点的动物案例；第3空后文提到象群围成圈保护幼崽，对应幼崽出生在开阔无遮蔽环境的设定；第4空围绕哺乳动物喝母乳的内容，匹配和喝奶时长相关的选项；最后开放题选取文中任意感兴趣的事实，给出符合字数要求的合理原因即可。
【解析】
1. 空后列举了新生袋鼠体型如蜜蜂、至少5个月睁不开眼，新生猴子无法行走需要母猴携带的例子，核心体现幼崽出生时毫无自理能力，依靠母兽保护，A选项“有些动物出生时毫无自理能力，但它们的妈妈会保护它们”可总领本段内容，故选A。
2. 空前句说明部分幼崽出生后很快就能行走，遇到危险时会跟着母兽奔跑，C选项“小斑马出生一小时后就能奔跑”是对该特点的典型举例，前后逻辑连贯，故选C。
3. 空后描述其他大象会围成圈保护幼崽，对应幼崽出生在开阔无遮蔽的露天环境的设定，D选项“小象出生在开阔的草地上”符合该语境，故选D。
4. 本段围绕哺乳动物饮用母乳的内容展开，后文提到小斑马喝奶时长超过6个月，E选项“它们喝6个月的奶”对应前文提到的熊幼崽的喝奶情况，衔接自然，故选E。
5. 本题为开放性试题，只需选取文中任意一处事实，给出合理原因，总词数不超过15即可。
【答案】
1.A 2.C 3.D 4.E 5. 示例：A baby zebra can run an hour after it is born. Because it's really amazing.（答案不唯一，合理即可）
