22、ster, chances are that it looks much like a frilled shark(皱鳃鲨)!This fearsome but interesting creature is one of the most rarely sighted species on earth.

23、t is thought to live in the deepest, darkest parts of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and only come to the surface when sick or injured. It is believed that they are able to survive at a depth of about 5,150 feet but are more commonly found in waters 50-200 feet deep. There is a small but convincing
24、 body of research that suggests the frilled shark is a vertical migrator, moving from deep to deeper waters on a regular basis.While this mysterious beast is called a shark, many believe it looks more like an eel with a long, slim body about five to six feet in length. It has a head thats triangular
25、 in shape similar to that of a poisonous snake and large oval eyes giving off a strange and frightening green light.

26、en observed by human eyes. However, it is almost certainly a predator (食肉动物). After all, researchers believe, why else would it need 300 sharp teeth?!

27、ures.As research into the habitat, appearance and feeding behavior of this strange creature continues, theres a good chance that we will gain a full understanding of this unusual species one day.

31、he Atlantic and Pacific oceans and only come to the surface when sick or injured.”可知,尽管人们对皱鳃鲨知之甚少,但人们认为它生活在大西洋和太平洋最深最黑的地方,只有在生病或受伤时才会浮出水面。由此可推知,在海洋表面很难看到它们处于健康的状态。故选A项。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“The unusual creature has six pairs of gills, each with the frilled edges for which the sea monster was named.”可知,
32、这种不寻常的生物有六对鳃,每一对鳃的边缘都有褶皱,因此这种海怪得名。由此可知,皱鳃鲨因其外观而得名。故选C项。【7题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“However, it is almost certainly a predator (食肉动物). After all, researchers believe, why else would it need 300 sharp teeth?!(然而,它几乎肯定是食肉动物。毕竟,研究人员认为,否则为什么需要300颗锋利的牙齿呢?!)”可知,科学家从皱鳃鲨的牙齿知道皱鳃鲨是食肉动物。故选C项。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As res
33、earch into the habitat, appearance and feeding behavior of this strange creature continues, theres a good chance that we will gain a full understanding of this unusual species one day.”可知,随着对这种奇怪生物的栖息地、外观和进食行为的研究继续进行,我们很有可能有一天会对这种不寻常的物种有一个全面的了解。由此可推知,作者对解决皱鳃鲨之谜的态度是乐观的。故选D项。CIn 1812, the year Charles
