C(2025·天津中考)
Lanternfish are fish that carry their own

lights. Most lanternfish are brown on top and silver
underneath. They have very large eyes. They eat
small sea animals.
If you want to find them, you must go deep into the sea. As
you go deeper and deeper, the daylight becomes dimmer and
dimmer. At over 152 metres below the surface of the water,
the daylight is almost gone. The water is dark blue. There you will
find lanternfish.
There are over 230 different kinds of lanternfish in the world.
Most lanternfish are just as long as your fingers. Even the biggest
lanternfish are only about 15 centimetres long. They are not
large in size.
However, each lanternfish has about 100 small round lights on
the lower part of its body. The fish use their lights to help them
catch food. They also use their lights to send information so that
they can recognise each other. At night, they may swim up
near the surface of the sea. Their lights shine like stars under the
water.
Lanternfish are one of the wonders of the sea.

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了灯笼鱼的外形特征、生活习性以及发光功能。
1.A [解析]细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Most lanternfish are brown on top and silver underneath(在下面).”可知,大多数灯笼鱼的顶部是棕色的。故选A。
2.D [解析]词义猜测题。根据“As you go deeper and deeper, the daylight(日光) becomes dimmer and dimmer...the daylight is almost gone.”可知,随着深度增加,日光逐渐变弱直至几乎消失。由此可推知,画线词dimmer意为“更暗的”,与D项意思相符。故选D。
3.B [解析]细节理解题。根据第三段首句“There are over 230 different kinds of lanternfish in the world.”可知,世界上有230多种灯笼鱼。故选B。
4.C [解析]细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“They also use their lights to send information so that they can recognise(认出) each other.”可知,灯笼鱼通过发光传递信息以便互相识别。故选C。
5.D [解析]推理判断题。通读全文可知,全文围绕海洋生物“灯笼鱼”展开,介绍其自然特征。因此,本文最可能出现在杂志的“自然”版块。故选D。
