题目解答
答案
解析
考查要点：本题主要考查学生对文章隐含信息的理解能力，以及结合常识进行推理的能力。关键在于理解“difficult to hurt”指的是美洲野牛的生理特征使其不易受到伤害。
解题思路：题目未直接给出答案，需通过选项分析和常识判断。核心思路是抓住“hurt”一词的含义（被攻击或伤害），并结合美洲野牛的体型特征（如厚实的皮毛、强壮的肌肉）进行推理。
理解问题
题目问“为什么美洲野牛难以被伤害”，需从选项中找出最合理的解释。关键点在于分析每个选项是否符合野牛的生理特征或行为特点。
排除错误选项
- 选项A（总是准备战斗）：野牛确实有攻击性，但攻击性不代表“难被伤害”，排除。
- 选项B（跑得快）：野牛速度不快，且跑得快只能避免被追上，而非直接防止伤害，排除。
- 选项D（外形吓退猎人）：猎人通常不会因猎物外形奇怪而放弃捕猎，排除。
确定正确选项
选项C（太厚实抓不住）：野牛体型庞大、皮毛厚实、肌肉发达，即使被攻击也难以对其造成致命伤害，符合“难被伤害”的描述。
