分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了動物如何保護(hù)自己的領(lǐng)地進(jìn)行了介紹并舉例，他們會用視覺聽覺嗅覺等一系列方法保護(hù)自己的領(lǐng)地．

解答 66．C．主旨大意題．通讀全文可知，本文主要就"動物如何保護(hù)自己的領(lǐng)地"進(jìn)行了介紹，故選C．
67．B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段第三句"Most animals rely on various threats，either through sounds or smells．"可知，答案選B．
68．A．詞義猜測題．根據(jù)第二段第二、三句可知，當(dāng)某種動物發(fā)現(xiàn)有其他的動物侵入自己的領(lǐng)地時(shí)，會通過視覺上的展示來恐嚇對方．它們會豎起羽毛或皮毛，以使自己看起來更大、更強(qiáng)壯．因此exaggerate應(yīng)為"擴(kuò)大，增大"之意，故選A．
69．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后一段第一句"Actual fighting usually only happens in overcrowded conditions，when resources are not enough．"可知，當(dāng)過度擁擠導(dǎo)致生存資源匱乏時(shí)，就有可能發(fā)生打斗；故選D．
