答案： 21.C [解析] 考查形容词辨析。句意:想象一下,如果你的头只撞到硬物一次,你会有什么感觉。thick厚的;smooth平滑的;hard硬的。根据“A woodpecker taps(叩) its head against wood”可知,啄木鸟用头撞击木头,木头是坚硬的。此处是类比读者用头撞坚硬的东西会有什么感觉。故选C。
技巧点拨 类比法是常见的单项选择题的解题方法之一。用这种方法解题时,一定要“找共性、建对应、抓本质”。通过对“相似属性”的敏感度,可在复杂选择题中快速缩小范围,提高解题效率。

26.A [解析] 考查疑问词辨析。句意:这就是为什么啄木鸟可以整天叩击而不头痛。why为什么;when何时;where哪里。前文解释了啄木鸟舌头保护大脑的原理,此处是说明“这就是啄木鸟整天叩击树木而不头痛”的原因,应用why引导表语从句。故选A。
