21、against future catastrophe. The snails cant simply be spread among zoos or other facilities: they need special equipment.”可知，拖车房屋很脆弱。它的设计是为了避免可能被盗，抵御飓风。但是火 灾很容易摧毁它，或者疾病可以席卷它。，但没有好的办法来防止未来的灾难。蜗牛不能简单地在动物 园或其他设施中生存：它们需要特殊的设备.。这个特殊的设备就是 the trailer。由此可知，这个和 the trailer 是给蜗牛住的房子，是收容蜗牛，为其遮风挡雨的。分析选项可知，故 B
22、项符合题意。 【5 题详解】 猜测词义题。 根据划线词 The trailer is very vulnerable 后的内容 “ Its designed to keep away would-be thieved, and to resist hurricanes.

23、he snails, killing almost an entire species.” 拖车房屋的设计是为了防止潜在的盗窃，并抵御飓风。但是一场火灾可以轻易地摧毁它，或者一种疾病可 以席卷它。由此可推断出，这种拖车房屋很容易被火烧，疾病可摧毁它，所以它是易受其他因素影响的。 故选 C。 【6 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段 it can be hard for the snails minders to relax, even when they are outside the trailer “How do you switch off when your decisions mean
24、 existence or extinction? yet with animals whose natural history is largely unknown, that action can be dangerous. “If you do it wrong, the snails die.”蜗牛的看护人员即使在拖车 房外也很难放松.“你的决定会影响它们的生存或毁灭， 你怎么能不担心呢？”但对于自然基本一无所知的 动物来说，这种行动可能是危险的。如果你做错了，蜗牛就会死。由此可知，蜗牛看护者对待他们的态度 是谨慎小心的。 分析选项 A.

Disapproving 反对的。可知 C项符合题意，故选 C。 【7 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“ He had found a dozen of Achatinella bulimoides -a third of the worlds population of the species”一天他发现了 12 种蜗牛，占世界蜗牛总数的三分之一。第二段中的“Last September , a mystery pathogon(病原体)appeared to have entered the trailer on leaves
