【解析】

試題分析：考查固定短語。句意：被邀請的人的數(shù)量是50，但許多人因為不同的原因而缺席。 a number of表示數(shù)量短語，意思是“若干，許多，大量”，其后一般接復(fù)數(shù)可數(shù)名詞；the number of是一名詞短語，意為“……的數(shù)目”。復(fù)數(shù)的形式為the numbers of，作主語時，謂語動詞應(yīng)隨the number的單復(fù)數(shù)變化，故選D項。

考點 : 考查固定短語

When 18th-century scientists first came across Australia’s platypus(鴨嘴獸), they thought it was a trick. It is not surprising that the platypus made people confused. This funny-looking animal has feet and is a kind of warm-blooded mammal.

While other mammals usually keep their blood at around 37 degrees, the platypus has a lower body temperature of 32 degrees. As to its appearance, the platypus’mouth is not really like ducks’at all; its mouth actually looks a bit soft. The platypus closes its eyes when swimming. It uses its mouth to pick up outside information made by the creatures underwater.

Strangest of all, the platypus is a mammal that can lay eggs. And there is only one other kind of mammal that can lay eggs, the echidna (針鼴鼠) of Australia. Both the platy-pus and the echidna lay soft-shelled eggs, and both feed their young with their own milk that comes out of their skin. These animals also walk in a way that is similar to crocodiles(鱷魚), with legs on the sides of their bodies rather than under them.

Though pretty, in a special way, the platypus is actually one of the few mammals that are poisonous. A male platypus has knife-like bones on its back legs which have enough poison to kill a dog.

The platypus has the honor of being one of the oldest mammals in the world. Until the early 20th century, it was hunted for its fur, but the situation has changed. Although the platypus is easily affected by pollution, it is not under any immediate threat.

1. What can we learn about the platypus according to the text?

A. It has a lower body temperature than other mammals.

B. It only closes its eyes when underwater.

C. It’s the only poisonous mammal in the world.

D. It feeds its young on wild animal meat.

2.Which of the following is NOT used as a comparison with the platypus in the text?

A. The crocodile.B. The echidna.C. The duck.D. The dog.

3.The following characteristics of the platypus have been described in the text EXCEPT ________.

A. its natural enemyB. its appearance

C. its walking poseD. its daily diet

4.We can infer from the last paragraph that the platypus _______.

A. is hunted for its meatB. is in danger of extinction

C. is endangered by air pollutionD. is well-protected now

5.Which of the following would be the best title for this text?
