27、 1940s.They probably slipped (滑行) unseen onto ships and planes heading to Guam.”可知，蛇可能是在20世紀(jì)40年代出現(xiàn)的，它們可能趁人不注意溜上了前往關(guān)島的船只和飛機(jī)。由此推斷出，棕樹蛇不是關(guān)島的本地物種。2答案與解析：D詞義猜測題。根據(jù)后句可知，棕樹蛇吃鳥，島上曾經(jīng)有12種鳥類，但是這些蛇已經(jīng)殺死了九種鳥類。蛇可以長到10英尺長，它們經(jīng)常咬人。他們爬上電線，讓電力供應(yīng)中斷，這造成了數(shù)百萬美元的損失。以上說明了這種蛇的危害性很大。由此可以推斷出畫線詞“devastating”意思是“有破壞性的”。Magical有魔力

So far, research shows that there are fewer snakes because of the mice.”可知，殺死棕樹蛇一個有效的方法是讓它們吃攜帶Tylenol的老鼠。4答案與解析：B推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中最后一句可知， Guam島農(nóng)業(yè)部的Vice先生說，這不應(yīng)該阻止島民的嘗試。“我們的長期目標(biāo)是徹底消滅蛇。”由此推斷出， Vice先生對解決蛇的問題滿懷希望。.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇
