　　答案及解析：

　　1. A。根据Shlander is a man from space. He thinks the people and things on the earth are very strange(Shlander是个太空人，他认为地球上的人和物非常奇怪)就能确定正确选项。

　　2. B。根据 Now I am in a strange world. It is very nice. There are many new things here. There are many earth monsters here, too. The earth monsters look very funny(我到了一个陌生的世界中，这个世界非常优美，有许多要学的新东西，也有许多地球怪物，这些怪物看起来挺有趣)就能确定正确选项。

　　3. D。根据They have just one head, two arms and two legs. They have thin black strings on their heads. Some earth monsters have brown or yellow strings. The earth monsters have a hole in their face(地球怪物只有一个头，两只胳膊两条腿，头上有又黑又细的绳子，有的是棕色，有的是黄色，脸上还有一个洞)，显然，前三个选项都是人类的特征，都不能被选。

　　4. C。根据Every day, they put nice things and balls from the trees into the hole. They put water into the hole, too(每天他们把好东西和从树上摘下来的球放进洞里，也往洞里放水)就能确定正确选项(from www.zkenglish.com)。

　　5. C。根据At night, the earth monsters like to look at a square window box. This box has very small earth monsters in it(夜里，地球怪物喜欢看一个方形的窗台上的花盆箱，这个箱子非常小，有地球怪物在里面)就能断定文章中的方盒子就是一台电视机。
