A
①To-wit-to-woo, to-wit-to-woo! What's that strange sound coming from the forest in the moonlight? It's an owl(猫头鹰), of course! The owl is different from all other birds in so many ways.
②All day long, sitting in a tree, the owl is sleeping or at least it's trying to snooze, because it's sometimes hard to close the eyes with all the sounds made by the little birds and animals in the forest! The owl hunts(狩猎) only at night. When evening comes, the animals all get to a safe place. The owl opens its big, round eyes. Any little animal around had better watch out(小心)!
③The owl mostly eats small animals like mice(老鼠), but it wouldn't say no to another bird if it gets the chance! The owl uses its fantastic hearing to find its food, and then it turns its head from side to side, using its sharp eyes to follow the animal. Finally, it flies down to get the animal. Owls have special, soft feathers, so they can fly without making any sound. Owls are such good hunters that they can even catch a fly(苍蝇) in the air!
④The owl is quiet most of the time, except(除了) when you get too close to its home. The owl is a great mother who will protect her babies by opening her feathers angrily. An owl will even hurt people if she thinks her babies are in danger!
⑤An owl has no teeth, so it eats an animal whole. All the parts of the animal that the owl can't digest(消化) will end up as small pieces. If you find these small pieces, you know you are near an owl's home.

解析
【分析】
1. 词义猜测题：根据第②段中“猫头鹰白天在树上睡觉，或者至少在尝试snooze”，or连接并列的同义动作，可推测snooze与sleep含义相近；2. 细节理解题：针对第2题定位原文关于猫头鹰食物的描述判断选项，第3题定位原文猫头鹰成为好猎手的原因匹配选项；3. 篇章结构题：分析文章结构，第①段总起介绍猫头鹰，第②-⑤段分别从作息、狩猎、护幼、消化特点展开，匹配对应结构。
【解析】
1. 词义猜测题：第②段“All day long, sitting in a tree, the owl is sleeping or at least it's trying to snooze”中，or连接的两个动作是并列同义关系，snooze与sleep含义接近，故选B。

3. 细节理解题：第③段指出“Owls have special, soft feathers, so they can fly without making any sound. Owls are such good hunters that they can even catch a fly in the air!”，可知猫头鹰成为好猎手的原因是飞行无声，故选D。
