Passage 2
Many people are frightened by spiders. They are especially afraid of large, hairy ones. The largest and most frightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spider, which lives in the hot, thick rain forests of northern South America.
    Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula(狼蛛). They are very hairy. Some of these giant spiders can spread eighteen centimeters (seven inches) with their legs. Tarantulas are not, as most people think, poisonous spiders. They can bite, and the bite is painful, but is will not kill a grown-up. The poisonous bite of a black widow spider is far more dangerous.
    Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks during the day, but at night they creep out and hunt for insects. As you might guess from their name, they also catch birds and eat them.
    They have another unusual ability. They can walk up windowpanes(窗玻璃)because of sticky, silky hairs on their feet that cling to glass.
11. The bird-eating spider can be described as __ D____.
  A. a very hairy spider                        B. a very frightening spider
  C. the largest of spiders                    D. all of the above
12. The climate of the place where this spider lives is ___C____.
  A.    hot and dry        B. cool and dry        C. wet and hot        D. wet and cool
13. Compared with the bite of a black widow spider, the bite of a tarantula is __A __.
  A. less dangerous    B. more dangerous        C. just as dangerous    D. the most dangerous
14. When do bird-eating spiders hunt? __B__
