they like knock skill work live talk lonely quick depend on
Spit（唾液）keeps our mouths wet and softens our food. Without spit in our mouths，we would have difficulty
talking
. We would find it even harder to make food go down the throat. But for some animals，spit works
better after it has left the mouth. Some animals are experts（专家）at staying alive
because they are expert spitters.Llamas are animals often found in petting zoos and farms. These animals seem
to like
personal space. A llama that feels scared or angry will spit at you to get you to leave it alone
. Sometimes llamas even spit on other animals to get their
food! This is because llama's spit can smell quite awful，making the animal usually lose its wish to eat and walk away.The archer fish（射水鱼）is a very
skilled/skilful/skillful
spitter—in fact，it's a super cool underwater shooter. When this fish sees an insect，it spits jets of water at it to knock
it into the water. Then it eats it easily in the water. To create such an unbelievably strong jet of water，all the fish needs is its gills（鳃），mouth，nose and the water. Aim! Shoot! —Haha! Lunch!Some snakes
depend on
their spitting skill as well. Scientists believe that these snakes actually aim for the eyes! When their spit gets into the eyes of an animal，it will feel great pain quickly
and even go blind. This gives the snake plenty of time to get away.1.

答案：Ⅶ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,通过羊驼、射水鱼和蛇的例子,说明唾液(或类似的液体)对动物而言不仅是消化辅助工具,更是重要的生存技能。
1. talking 解析:句意:嘴里没有唾液,我们说话会有困难。“have difficulty (in) doing sth”为固定搭配,意为“做某事有困难”;结合语境,“talking”(说话)符合,故填 talking。
2. works 解析:句意:但对一些动物来说,唾液离开口腔后效果更好。主语“spit”(唾液)为不可数名词,句子描述一般情况,时态为一般现在时,故填 works。
3. alive 解析:句意:有些动物是生存专家,因为它们是吐唾液的专家。结合下文语境可知,下文介绍的动物生存能力强,“live”(生存)符合,且在 stay 后面需用形容词,故填 alive。
4. to like 解析:句意:这些动物似乎喜欢个人空间。“seem to do sth”为固定搭配,意为“似乎做某事”,故填 to like。
5. alone 解析:句意:感到害怕或生气的羊驼会向你吐口水,让你离它远点。“leave sb alone”为固定搭配,意为“让某人独自待着”,故填 alone。
6. their 解析:句意:有时羊驼甚至向其他动物吐口水来得到它们的食物。此处修饰名词“food”,应用形容词性物主代词,“they”的形容词性物主代词为 their,故填 their。
7. skilled/skilful/skillful 解析:句意:射水鱼是非常熟练的吐唾液者--事实上,它是超酷的水下射手。此处修饰名词“spitter”,应用形容词,“skill”的形容词形式为 skilled 或 skilful (skillful)(熟练的),故填 skilled/skilful/skillful。
8. to knock 解析:句意:当这种鱼看到昆虫时,它会吐出水柱把它打落到水里。此处用动词不定式表目的,“knock ... into ...”意为“把……打入……”,故填 to knock。
9. depend on 解析:句意:有些蛇也依赖它们的吐唾液技能。主语“some snakes”为复数,句子描述一般情况,时态为一般现在时,故填 depend on。
10. quickly 解析:句意:当它们的唾液进入动物的眼睛时,动物会很快感到剧痛,甚至失明。此处修饰动词“feel”,应用副词,“quick”的副词形式为 quickly,故填 quickly。
