39、e答案: A解析: 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Withhisowneyes,hesaid,hehadseeninsideaneggwhatlookedlikeasmallpinkwormwithacoupleofeyeswhichhecouldonlythinkitwasasnake.”可知,Miller说他亲眼看到像是有一双眼睛的粉色小蠕虫在蛋里面,他只能认为那是一条蛇。由此可知,Miller可能看到了蛋中的粉色小蠕虫。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。SurprisingReasonsYoureNo
