Question

【題目】 Winter is cold and it can be difficult for animals to find food during winter. They get through winter in many ways.

Would you like to go to a warm place for the winter? That’s what migratory (遷徙的) animals do. When the weather starts to get cold, migratory animals like some birds and butterflies fly to a warmer place, and then they come back in spring.

Another good way to get through winter is to sleep through it. Many animals hide and sleep during the winter. Their body temperature drops and hearts beat more slowly. This helps them to save their energy. They do not eat. They live off their fat. They wake up when the weather gets warmer. We call this hibernation (冬眠). Snakes, frogs and bears hibernate in winter.

Many animals stay active in winter and adapt to (適應(yīng)) the cold weather. Some animals save food in summer and autumn and eat it in winter. This is what squirrels do. Other animals make changes in their bodies or behavior (行為). To keep warm, some animals grow thicker coats in winter. Some animals eat different kinds of food as the seasons change. The red fox eats fruit and insects in the other three seasons, but eats small rodents (嚙齒類動(dòng)物) in winter. Other animals change colour. The arctic (北極的) fox is brown in summer. Its coat turns white in winter.

How do you live through the winter? Do you wear a thick coat? Do you stay inside? Or do you live in a warm place?

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】 Migratory in spring

【2】 fat save (their) energy

【3】 keep warm summer and autumn

【4】 brown fruit and insects

【5】 3 get through winter

【解析】

冬天很冷，動(dòng)物在冬天很難找到食物。他們以多種方式度過(guò)冬天。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的句子“When the weather starts to get cold, migratory animals like some birds and butterflies fly to a warmer place, and then they come back in spring.”，可知是遷徙動(dòng)物“migratory animals”當(dāng)天氣變冷的時(shí)候，喜歡飛向溫暖的地方，春天的時(shí)候回來(lái)。故答案為migratory；in spring。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。本文的第三段講述的是靠睡眠度過(guò)冬天的動(dòng)物，它們依靠自己的脂肪（fat）過(guò)冬。它們體溫的下降有助于它們節(jié)省能量“save（their） energy”。故答案為fat；save（their）energy。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子“To keep warm, some animals grow thicker coats in winter.”，可知一些動(dòng)物在冬天長(zhǎng)出更厚的皮毛是為了保暖（to keep warm）；根據(jù)文中的句子“Some animals save food in summer and autumn and eat it in winter. This is what squirrels do.”，可知松鼠是在夏天和秋天儲(chǔ)存食物。故答案為keep warm；summer and autumn。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子“The arctic (北極的) fox is brown in summer. Its coat turns white in winter.”，可知北極狐貍夏天是棕色的（brown）；根據(jù)文中的句子“The red fox eats fruit and insects in the other three seasons, but eats small rodents (嚙齒類動(dòng)物) in winter.”，可知紅狐貍在春、夏、秋季吃水果和昆蟲(chóng)（fruit and insects）。故答案為brown；fruit and insects。

【5】總結(jié)歸納題。文中提到了三種過(guò)冬（get through winter）的方式，分別是“go to a warm place for the winter”、“to sleep”以及“stay active in winter and adapt to (適應(yīng)) the cold weather”。故答案為3；get through winter。
