The passage contrasts messy fake cobwebs with orb webs, describing dry frame threads and sticky spiral threads that efficiently capture prey. It highlights that spider silk is exceptionally strong and that many spiders hunt without webs, reducing insects that damage crops.

Real spider webs, it turns out, are almost nothing like those Halloween props. A true web is a piece of engineering so precise that scientists study it to build stronger materials. The spider that made it is not a lazy monster lurking in the shadows, but one of nature's most skilled builders. Once you know how a web actually works, those store-bought decorations start to look pretty sloppy.  \nThat precision begins inside the spider itself, in organs called spinnerets near  \nthe tip of its abdomen. Spinnerets squeeze out liquid silk that hardens into thread the instant it hits the air, sort of like glue that dries in a blink. A single spider can make several different kinds of silk from these nozzles, each with its own job. Some threads are dry and tough, while others are coated in tiny beads of glue. The spider itself walks on the dry threads on purpose, which is why it does not get stuck in its own trap.  \nThose two kinds of thread come together in the most famous design of all: the orb web, that classic wheel shape you might sketch on a Halloween card. The spider first lays down the dry \"spokes\" like the frame of a bicycle wheel, then spirals the sticky threads around them to catch dinner. When an insect blunders into the sticky spiral, it sticks fast while the spider races out along its safe, dry paths. Here is the part that sounds made up: for its weight, spider silk is stronger than steel and can stretch far more before it snaps. If you could scale up a strand to the thickness of a pencil, it could stop a jet in flight.  \nAs strong as that silk is, plenty of spiders skip the web entirely and hunt in other ways. Jumping spiders stalk their prey and pounce like tiny cats, while wolf spiders chase their meals down on foot. Trapdoor spiders build a hidden hinged door and burst out to grab whatever wanders too close. So the next time someone insists that all spiders sit around waiting in webs, you can set the record straight. The world holds tens of thousands of spider species, and they have invented a startling number of ways to catch a meal.  \nWhether they spin or stalk, these eight-legged hunters matter far more than their  \nspooky reputation suggests. Spiders eat enormous quantities of insects each year, including mosquitoes, flies, and the pests that chew up crops. Without them, gardens and farms would be overrun by the very bugs we complain about all summer. So the plastic web on your door is really a thank-you note to a creature that quietly protects your food. Not bad for an animal most people would rather scream at than shake hands with.  \nSpiders and Their Webs  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) According to the passage, how does liquid silk become a solid thread?\u003Cbr>A.
