十一小长假就快结束啦，是时候准备收心学习咯～
最近大家学习GRE也很辛苦，所以这期Chris老师写了个较轻松的话题给大家放松一下。劳逸结合，我们一起来看一下填空中出现的动物世界吧！
蝴蝶
Butterflies 
1. The uncanny likeness of unrelated butterflies can be (i)as an adaptation whereby edible butterflies imitate the coloration of venomous butterfly species that potential predators (ii).
Blank (i)
Blank (ii)
A. understood
D. seek to avoid
B. rationalized
E. cannot detect
C. misconstrued
F. find irresistible
浅析：可食用的蝴蝶模仿有毒蝴蝶提示捕食者不吃有毒蝴蝶，因此二空选D seek to avoid；前文中likeness对应后文的模仿，后文解释前文，结合理解选择A understood。
参考译文：不相关蝴蝶的惊人的的相似性可以被理解为一种适应，即可食用的蝴蝶模仿潜在捕食者试图避免的有毒蝴蝶物种的颜色。
剑鱼
Swordfish
2.  Several factors contribute to the________ of swordfish, including the speed at which they travel, the vast distance they cover in their migration, and their impressive stamina.
A.unpredictability
B.vulnerability
C.elegance
D.diversity
E.elusiveness
浅析：后文的三个特征：速度快，游的远，耐力强，这些因素表明剑鱼擅长逃避抓捕，不容易抓住它，所以选择E elusiveness ,韦氏字典解释：hard to find or capture。
海獭
Sea Otters 

3. Consuming 25 to 35 percent of their body weight each day, sea otters are not only _____ but highly specialized eaters, organizing themselves into groups that zero in on specific kinds of prey.
A. prodigious
B. undiscriminating
C. fastidious
D. picky
E. voracious
F. omnivorous
浅析：考点not only 、but （also）递进取同，后面说它专一，结合前面consuming 25 to 35 percent of their body weight each day 体现了水獭的贪吃，所以AE ，即海獭不仅吃的多而且还专一哈哈，名副其实的吃货呀！
舍利
Lynx   
4. The cat known to researchers as M-120—beefy, audacious, and apparently smart enough to spot a free lunch—is perhaps the world's least ______ lynx: the scientists catch him several times a year.
A：intelligent
B：evasive
C：fearless
D：furtive
E：elusive
F：intrepid
浅析：冒号后面后catch him several times a year，一年抓好几次，说明它经常被抓，我们应该很熟悉它，即不神秘，不难抓捕，所以选择BE。
巨嘴鸟
  Toucan   
5. It is (i) _____that the toucan's bill is(ii) ______：in fact it isn't particularly heavy and seems not to unbalance the bird especially.
Blank (i)
Blank (ii)A.
A.an advantage
D.occasionally hazardous
B.a misconception
E.unusually strong
C.a surprise
F.uncomfortably bulky
浅析：冒号后面是他的嘴不笨重并且平衡，所以前面观点句也为正，即认为笨重的是错误的，所以选择BF。
鬣狗和狮子
Hyena and lion 
最后留道关于一草原上的狮子和二哥的故事，让大家小试牛刀，把自己的答案和分析思路写在评论区的V都能上160+~~我们会在下午6点前置顶正确答案哦！！
6. The unattractive hyena is unjustly (i)・ It was long believed that when bob lions and hyenas were present at a kill, the latter invariably stole from the former, but this notion proved to be (ii): we now know that the lion is just as (iii)the hard-won prey of the hyena.
