He asked his mother, “Why was I born with a shell? It 1 (grow) so hard and heavy.” His mother said, “Because we don’t have bones 2 (support) us. We move slowly, so we need a shell to protect us.” The baby snail asked again, “The caterpillar (毛毛虫) has no bones, either, and she can’t move quickly. Why can she live 3 a shell?” The mother snail answered 4 (patient), “That’s because she will become a butterfly. She can fly high into 5 sky which can protect her.” The baby snail then 6 (cry), “We are so poor! We have no protection like that!” His mother smiled at him, “That’s why we have a shell. My dear, imagine 7 we don’t have the shell, what will happen to us? Our bodies 8 (hurt) by the hot sun and we’ll have nowhere to sleep. What’s 9 (bad), we’ll die in the heavy rain.

Why can she live...a shell?”以及常识可知，此处指毛毛虫能在没有外壳的情况下生活，without“没有”符合题意，故填without。 4．句意：蜗牛妈妈耐心地回答。根据“The mother snail answered...”可知，此空缺副词，所以应填patient“耐心的”的副词形式，故填patiently。 5．句意：她可以飞到高空，这可以保护她。因为空后sky为独一无二的事物，前需加定冠词the，故填the。 6．句意：蜗牛宝宝哭着说。根据“The baby snail then...”可知，本空缺谓语，且为一般过去时态，谓语动词用过去式，cry“哭”的过去式为cried。故填cried。 7．句意：亲爱的，想象一下，如果我们没有外壳，我们会发生什么？根据“ My dear, imag
