【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要介绍水母的身体特征，种类以及水母的外观，并说明有毒，告诉人们需要远离水母。
56．句意：相反，它们的身体是有95%的水和5%固体物质组成。
be made in在……地方制造；be made of由……制作（看得见原材料）；be made from由……制造（看不见原材料）；be made up of由……组成。根据“95% water and 5% solid matter”可知，这里是介绍水母身体的组成成分。故选D。
57．句意：是的，它们比恐龙出现的还早。
older更久的；bigger更大的；smaller更小的；younger更年轻的。根据前文“They have been in existence for at least half a billion years.”可知，水母在地球上存在至少有5亿年了。而恐龙在地球上生存时间约1.65亿年。所以水母比恐龙存在的时间更久。故选A。
58．句意：你可能想知道没有这些关键的器官，它们怎么能生存的，但一切都是最好的安排。
nothing没什么；anything任何东西；something一些东西；everything每件事，一切。根据后文解释“They don’t have lungs because their skin is … thin that they can absorb（吸收）oxygen through it. They don’t need a heart to pump blood because they don’t have any. And they have a nerve net—which is sensitive to touch—below their outer skin. They respond to the changes in their environment using signals from the nerve net, so they don’t need a … to process complex thoughts.”可知，由于水母自身生长的特征，它们的皮肤可以呼吸，它们没有血液所以没有心脏，它们有神经网可以感知外面的环境。因此这里表达的是“一切的安排都是最好的”。故选D。
59．句意：它们没有肺是因为它们的皮肤是如此之薄以至于能通过皮肤吸收氧气。
so如此；too也，太；such如此（后面加冠词+名词）；very很，非常。根据语境，这里考查so+形容词+that从句表示“如此……以至于……”。故选A。

lung肺；brain大脑；heart心脏；tentacle触角。根据“Surprisingly, they don’t have a brain, a heart, or lungs（肺）”可知，水母是没有大脑，心脏和肺的，前面已经介绍为什么没有肺和心脏。这里是介绍没有大脑是怎么感知外界的。故选B。
61．句意：然而，触角永不缠绕在一起或刺到自己。
But但是；Anyway不管怎样；However然而；Otherwise否则。根据前文“Some jellyfish have very long tentacles”可知，一些水母有很长触角，“但是”触角是不会缠绕在一起或者刺到他们自己，这里表示转折，横线后有逗号。故选C。
62．句意：大部分水母几乎没有或者就是没有视力，但它们可以察觉到光和洋流，这能帮助它们行进和移动。
good好的；much许多；little少，几乎没有；a little一点点。根据后面的“… or no vision, but they can detect light and ocean currents,”可知，它们不是通过视力感知光和洋流的。因此视力是“几乎没有”。故选C。
63．句意：水母大小不一，从0.5毫米到直径2米多，体重重达200公斤多的巨型越前水母。
types类型；sizes尺寸，大小；looks面貌；colours颜色。根据后文“from 0.5 millimeters to the giant Nomura’s jellyfish, which can measure up to two meters in diameter and weigh over 200 kilograms.”可知，这里说的是水母的“大小”。故选B。
64．句意：尽管水母很漂亮，但是它们也很危险。
pleasant令人愉快的；dangerous危险的；surprising令人惊讶的；interesting有趣的。根据文“Some jellyfish toxins can be deadly to humans”可知，水母有毒且对人类是致命的。所以水母应该是“危险的”。故选B。
65．句意：在任何情况下，最好要远离任何你看到的水母。
in the way阻挡，妨碍；on the way在路上；away远离，后加from；out of the way远离。
根据前文“Some jellyfish toxins can be deadly to humans, such as those from the box jellyfish and …”可知，水母毒素对人类是致命的，因此要“远离”它们。故选D。
