题目内容
11.A cruel person is often described as having the"courage and determination"of a scorpion (蝎子).Although the scorpion's poisonous tail is very frightening,it is nothing but a weapon for defense (防御).As for scorpion's life cycle,it is characterized by its own"scorpionism".Most of the scorpions we see are unmarried"young men and women".Once they"get married",they have come to the end of their lives.
Male and female adult scorpions fall in love with each other at first sight.They hold each other with their forelegs and waltz slowly in circles.The courtship (求爱) dance will not stop until they feel quite satisfied.This is called the dance before marriage.
After that,the couple will find a quiet place as their mating room.When the mating is finished,the male lies in its place,offering its body for the female to feed on in its pregnancy (孕期).By the time the"husband"is eaten up,the female has hatched (孵出) out a mass of tiny baby scorpions which will soon break their mother's back as they are growing bigger and bigger.The babies feed on the dead body of their mother till they finish all of it.Then they will go in all directions to make their own living.
What kind parents!But it is very cruel to see wives eat husbands and children eat their mothers in turn.

点评 1、要想做好科普英语阅读理解题,同学们就要注意平时多读科普知识类文章,学习科普知识,积累常见的科普词汇,从根本上提高科普英语的阅读能力.
2、要熟悉科普类文章的结构特点.科普类文章一般由标题(Head line),导语(Introduction),背景(Back ground),主体(Main body)和结尾(End)五部分构成.标题是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括,但根据历年的高考情况来看,这类阅读理解材料一般不给标题,而要同学们选择标题.导语一般位于整篇文章的首段.背景交待一个事实的起因.主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述,这一部分命题往往最多,因此,阅读时,同学们要把这部分作为重点.结尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并与导语相呼应,命题者常在此要设计一道推理判断题.
3、在进行推理判断时,同学们一定要以阅读材料所提供的科学事实为依据,同时所得出的结论还应符合基本的科普常识.
