1~4.【答案】D、C、A、B【详解】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段Insteadthefemalepassestheserolesontootherbirds.Theydon'traisetheirownyoung.Usually，theylaytheireggsinthenestsofotherbirds，foolingotherbirdsintothinkingthecuckooeggsaretheirs.（相反，雌性把这些角色传递给其他鸟。它们不抚养自己的孩子。通常，它们把蛋下在别的鸟的巢里，让别的鸟以为布谷鸟蛋是它们的。）可知，在孵化幼鸟的时候，布谷鸟总是依赖其他鸟类。故选D。

（2）代词指代题。根据第三段Oftenthecuckooistwicethesizeofitsfosterparents.（通常情况下，布谷鸟的体型是养父母的两倍。）可知，虽然和亲鸟差别很大，但布谷鸟幼鸟仍能从养父母那里获得食物。所以划线单词them指的是"养父母"。A.Other

cuckoos其他布谷鸟；B.Baby

cuckoos布谷鸟幼鸟；C.Its

host

parents它的养父母；D.Its

birth

parents它的亲生父母。故选C。

（3）推理判断题。根据第四段Thecuckooimposter（冒名顶替者）isusuallytheonlybabybirdthatthehostparenthastocarefor.Thisisbecausewhenthecuckoohatchesafteraround11days，itgetsridofalltheothereggsinthenest.Itwilllifteacheggontoitsbackbeforethrowingthemonebyoneovertheedgeofthenest.（冒充布谷鸟的雏鸟通常是宿主父母需要照顾的唯一雏鸟。这是因为当布谷鸟在11天后孵化时，它会把巢中所有其他的蛋都扔掉。它会把每个蛋背在背上，然后把它们一个一个地扔出巢穴的边缘。）可知，当布谷鸟孵化出来的时候，其他蛋还处于孵化状态。因此可推断，布谷鸟比鸟巢中其他鸟类孵化的要早。故选A。

（4）标题归纳题。根据第一段中的Cuckoos（布谷鸟）aremastersofcheating.（布谷鸟是欺骗的大师。）以及文章主要内容可知，文章主要介绍了布谷鸟是如何欺骗其他鸟类为其孵化幼鸟的。所以B.How

cuckoos

fool

other

birds.（布谷鸟是如何欺骗其他鸟类的。）可以作为文章标题。故选B。

本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了布谷鸟自己不会筑巢，所以总是将自己的蛋产在其他鸟类的巢里，从而让其他鸟类为自己孵化幼鸟。

4.

根据下文Ifyouseevalueinmakingotherslaughandkeepyourselfpositive,you'llbeahappierperson,makingothersdrawntoyouasaresult.（如果你看到了让别人笑并让自己保持乐观的价值，你会成为一个更快乐的人，从而让别人被你吸引。）可知，本段内容介绍的是笑在生活中的重要性，B项（把笑放在第一位。）选项能够概括段落主旨，笑在生活中对我们自己和他人都很重要，它会使你成为一个更快乐的人，从而让别人被你吸引。故选B。

5.

根据上文Youdon'thavetohavethe"perfectbody"tobeconfidentinit.Peoplewillbemoreattractedtoyouifyoudresswellandcarryyourselfwell.Ifyouneedalittleboost,placepost-itsaroundyourmirrorthatremindyouofthecharmingpartsofyourbody.（你不一定要有“完美的身体”才能自信。如果你穿着得体，举止得体，人们会更喜欢你。如果你需要一些激励，在镜子周围贴上海报，提醒自己你身体拥有的迷人的部位。）可知，上文告诉我们不要过分关注外表，穿着得体，举止得体就好，多关注自己身体所拥有的迷人的部位，E项（关注这些，而不是你的自我意识。）选项能够承接上文，告诉我们多关注自己身体的优点，不要过分在意外表。故选E。
