【分析】文章介绍雨燕主要生活在空中，及其能长时间生活在空中的原因。
【解答】（1）段落大意题。根据Swifts can fly faster than 100 miles per hour.That's because their wings are like boomerangs .（雨燕飞行速度超过每小时100英里。那是因为它们的翅膀像飞行器。）和They can also move one wing faster than the other，which allows them to make sharp turns without slowing down.（它们能使一个翅膀比另一个移动更快，这使它们能不降速急转。）可知第二段主要讲述雨燕飞得快和能够急转的原因。故选D。
（2）代词指代题。根据The saliva helps swifts catch bugs to feed their young.It is sticky，like glue.（唾液帮助雨燕抓住昆虫喂养它们的幼鸟。它有粘性，就像胶水。）可知it指代的是"唾液"。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据Swifts' short feet are not good for walking or standing on land for long.（雨燕的短脚不擅长长时间在陆地上行走或站立。）可知雨燕不能长时间行走是因为它们的短脚。故选C。
（4）标题归纳题。本文介绍了雨燕主要生活在空中，它们飞得很快，能够急转，以及它们怎样觅食和筑巢，故最佳标题应该是"空中的生命"。故选A。
（5）篇章结构题。文章第一段概述雨燕生活在空中，第二、三、四段介绍雨燕能长时间在空中生活的原因，第二段具体介绍它飞得快和能够急转的原因，第三、四段介绍它的唾液的作用。故正确的结构应该是C。故选C。

4．（7.5分）Swifts（雨燕） live mostly in the air.These small birds are among the fastest animals on Earth.In fact，swifts can go two or three days without touching the ground!To get used to life in the sky，swifts use their speed and the saliva（唾液）in their mouths.
Swifts can fly faster than 100 miles per hour.That's because their wings are like boomerangs （飞行器）.This shape of the wings helps them to fly much faster.They can also move one wing faster than the other，which allows them to make sharp turns without slowing down.Making fast，sharp turns helps swifts catching flying bugs to eat.
The saliva helps swifts catch bugs to feed their young.It is sticky，like glue.Swifts often fly into clouds of bugs such as mosquitoes and open their wide mouths to catch as many insects as they can.The bird collects insects in its mouth gradually and holds the insects in a sticky ball of saliva.One food ball can contain nearly 1，000 bugs.
Swifts also use their saliva as glue to build their nests.The birds catch feathers in the air and stick the feathers together to build a strong nest on the side of a building.Swifts' short feet are not good for walking or standing on land for long.But their sharp claws allow them to stick to rocks and walls so they can take a brief rest before returning their lives in the sky.

4．（7.5分）Swifts（雨燕） live mostly in the air.These small birds are among the fastest animals on Earth.In fact，swifts can go two or three days without touching the ground!To get used to life in the sky，swifts use their speed and the saliva（唾液）in their mouths.
Swifts can fly faster than 100 miles per hour.That's because their wings are like boomerangs （飞行器）.This shape of the wings helps them to fly much faster.They can also move one wing faster than the other，which allows them to make sharp turns without slowing down.Making fast，sharp turns helps swifts catching flying bugs to eat.
The saliva helps swifts catch bugs to feed their young.It is sticky，like glue.Swifts often fly into clouds of bugs such as mosquitoes and open their wide mouths to catch as many insects as they can.The bird collects insects in its mouth gradually and holds the insects in a sticky ball of saliva.One food ball can contain nearly 1，000 bugs.
Swifts also use their saliva as glue to build their nests.The birds catch feathers in the air and stick the feathers together to build a strong nest on the side of a building.Swifts' short feet are not good for walking or standing on land for long.But their sharp claws allow them to stick to rocks and walls so they can take a brief rest before returning their lives in the sky.

（5）Which of the following best show the structure of the passage？ C
【分析】文章介绍雨燕主要生活在空中，及其能长时间生活在空中的原因。
【解答】（1）段落大意题。根据Swifts can fly faster than 100 miles per hour.That's because their wings are like boomerangs .（雨燕飞行速度超过每小时100英里。那是因为它们的翅膀像飞行器。）和They can also move one wing faster than the other，which allows them to make sharp turns without slowing down.（它们能使一个翅膀比另一个移动更快，这使它们能不降速急转。）可知第二段主要讲述雨燕飞得快和能够急转的原因。故选D。
（2）代词指代题。根据The saliva helps swifts catch bugs to feed their young.It is sticky，like glue.（唾液帮助雨燕抓住昆虫喂养它们的幼鸟。它有粘性，就像胶水。）可知it指代的是"唾液"。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据Swifts' short feet are not good for walking or standing on land for long.（雨燕的短脚不擅长长时间在陆地上行走或站立。）可知雨燕不能长时间行走是因为它们的短脚。故选C。
