D To many webbuilding spiders, most of whom are nearly blind, the web is their essential window on the world: their means of municating, capturing prey (猎物 ), meeting mates and protecting themselves. A webbuilding spider without its web is like a man cast away on an island of solid rock, totally out of touch and destined to starve to death. So important is the web to an orbweb spider‟s survival that the animal will continue to construct new webs daily even if it is being starved. For 16 days the starving spider builds pletely normal webs. Then, as the animal gets scrawnier (憔悴的 ), it constructs a widermeshed web using fewer strands (线 ). Such webs would only trap larger prey, which is more economical from the perspective of a starving spider. The spider stores energy by recycling web protein. It simply eats its own web each evening and reuses it to produce new silk. In studies with radioactively labeled materials, it was found that 95 percent of web protein reappears in the next day‟s web. Most of the energy needed for webbuilding is used in walking over the strands as they are laid down. Scientists are impressed by the adaptability （适应能力） of the spider‟s highly preprogrammed brain, which is larger for its size than the brain of any other invertebrate (无脊椎动物 ). If webbuilding is interrupted, or if some of the existing strands are destroyed, the spider simply goes back to see where the web is left off and then finished building a normal web. One spider will even finish building the inplete web of another. 32. What is probably the best title for the passage? A. Secrets of Spiders‟ Adaptability B. Importance of Webs to Spiders C.
