Question

　　A snake is a strange animal． It walks on its ribs and it smells with its tongue． Since its teeth are sharp like needles and not good for chewing, it swallows its food whole．

　　The snake's jaws can stretch a great deal． Its body, too, can stretch to several times its normal size． So even a small snake can easily swallow a mouse whole, and a snake just an inch across can gulp down a young bird three inches across． Such a large meal might last the snake for months． In fact, some snakes have been known to go without eating for as long as two years．

Answer 1

答案：A;C;D;B;D;B
解析：

猜测熟词新义也是阅读理解能力之一，如：6． As a result of its eating habits, the snake的正确选项 B．can go for months without food中的go是什么意思？它该题与正确选项之和等于原文中的In fact, some snakes have been known to go without eating for as long as two years．那么，go for是否与go without eating for同义？
