（2）D

（3）B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，一对双胞胎出生时，医生告诉他们的父母男孩难以存活，只有几分钟的时间了。

而男孩的父母并没有放弃，并在最后抱了他，结果男孩奇迹般地重新开始呼吸，并幸存了下来。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第一段中的“Theirnewbornwasn'tgoingtomakeit.Theirtwinsagirlandaboywereborntwominutesapartand14weekspremature,weighingjustovertwopoundseach.”他们的新生儿要夭折了。

他们的双胞胎一个女孩和一个男孩出生时相隔两分钟，早产了14周，每个人的体重刚刚超过两磅。

可知这对双胞胎早产了14周出生。

故选C。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第五段中的“Thefirst-timeparentswantedtheirsontobeaswarmaspossibleandhopedtheskin-to-skincontactwouldimprovehiscondition.Theyalsotalkedtohim.”第一次做父母的希望他们的儿子尽可能的温暖，并希望这种肌肤接触能改善他的身体状况。

他们也和他交谈。

可知当这对夫妇知道他们将失去这个男孩时，他们和他交谈，并与他进行了密切的身体接触。

故选D。

（3）考查主旨大意。

纵观全文可知，本文记叙了一对双胞胎出生时，医生告诉他们的父母男孩难以存活，只有几分钟的时间了。

而男孩的父母并没有放弃，并在最后抱了他，结果男孩奇迹般地重新开始呼吸，并幸存了下来的故事。

【答案】

（1）C

（2）B

（3）D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了4个令人难以置信的动物与人类行为类似的故事。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据Horsesarepickyeaters部分介绍的内容可知，马的嗅觉比人类还要强。

当马抬起鼻子打开鼻孔时，它们的神经系统让它们感觉到我们感觉不到的气味。

因此它们能够拒绝脏水，只吃最美味的草。

这说明马靠嗅觉辨别草的好坏。

故选C。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据Whalesaysthanks可知，这条鲸鱼通过跳跃表达对拯救它的救命恩人的感激。

根据Acathonorsitsowner的内容可知，这只猫到墓地去怀念自己的主人。

由此可知，两者共同之处在于都有一颗感恩之心。

故选B。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据Pandasliketobenaughty中的“Infact,babypandassometimesbehavelikehumanbabies”可知，熊猫宝宝的行为与人类的婴儿相似。

故选D。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
