A.B.C.D. （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。Sea Hare (海兔)部分中的“The sea hare gives out a slimy, purple ink, the substance which makes food less palatable to predators.”可知，海兔身上散發(fā)出黏糊糊的紫色墨水，這種物質(zhì)使得捕食者對食物不那么感興趣，從而保護(hù)自己免受捕食者的傷害。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。Opossum (負(fù)鼠)部分中的“In order to bee ‘dead’, they don39。故選B。根據(jù)Millipedes (千足蟲)部分中的“Their major defense is to curl up into a ball.
