Some animals grow heavy coats of fur or feathers, while others dig into the groun
15、d to find a warm wintertime home.Some animals spend the winter in a deep sleep because by going to sleep they avoid the time of the year when food is scarce and the temperatures are low. Their sleep is known as hibernation.There is much about hibernation that puzzles scientists. For example, they ar
16、e wondering how hibernation came into being. Some scientists have explored the possibility that animals release a chemical that starts them hibernating.One thing that scientists are certain about is that animals hibernate only when it is cold. Hibernation is a seasonal practice.Some animals that fal
17、l into a wintertime sleep are not true hibernators because they spend only a part of the cold season asleep. Bears, for example, can easily be awakened from their winter nap. They are not true hibernators.Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether a particular animal is a true hibernator. For ex

21、y one animal can walk 200 miles without stopping once to rest. It would take a person two days and two nights to walk this far, and only one man has ever done it without stopping. What amazing animal has such endurance? The camel! The camel is well known for something else, too. It can cross an enti
22、re desert without a single drink of water. Its body is built in a special way to help it store water and food.A person has just one stomach, but a camel has quite a few. Within each stomach are layers and layers of cells. These cells are like tiny water balloons, storing liquids until the camel need
23、s them. When the camel drinks, the cells grow larger and larger. For a whole week, they can keep the animals thirst away by sending water to all parts of its body.And did you ever wonder why the camel has a hump? The hump is a storage place for fat. Because it has this storage area, the camel does n
24、ot need to eat very often. When the animal needs energy, the layers of fat serve as fuel to keep it going on the long, hot days in the burning sun.The camel has one other gift that makes it well suited to arid regions. This gift is its amazing nose. A camel can smell a water hole from miles away!Whe

28、nvestigating a crater lake in the mountains of St. Vincent. A crater lake is the mouth of a volcano that has been dormant for some time and has filled with water.This particular crater was the tip of a volcano called Soufriere, which erupted last in 1902. Since that time, it had not shown any signs
29、of action. But in the fall of 1971, mountain climbers who had hiked near the lake returned to the lowlands with strange stories. They said the water had turned yellow and was giving off a smell like burnt eggs. A seething fog was rising from the lakes surface.Local scientists rushed to Soufriere to
30、see if this might be the beginning of a new volcanic explosion. They found a huge black mass in the middle of the water. It was a great blob 1,000 feet long and 300 feet wide. Lava had pushed up through the bottom of the lake and formed a new island.The investigators wanted to make sure that the vol
31、cano was safe, and that the lava would not over- flow into the surrounding countryside. But they could never reach the island to study it, because the lava was so hot that the water around it bubbled and boiled.（分数：12.00）(1).This passage is about _.（分数：3.00）A.mountain climbingB.a boiling lakeC.a new

34、worlds largest flower, measuring three feet in diameter!This giant flower is a parasite-it needs another plant to live on. It lacks the Ustructures/U needed to survive alone. The rafflesia has no stem or leaves. It is all flower. It attaches itself to the roots of other plants and sucks their juices
35、. The flowers favorite home is the root of the vine, which grows above ground.The rafflesia seems to burst right out of the forest floor. Its blossom weighs fifteen pounds! It has thick, spotted petals that give off a rotten smell. The center is about the size of a household bucket. After a rain, it
36、 may hold up to twelve pints of water!After the rafflesia dies, it becomes a pool of thick liquid in which its seeds float. Elephants wandering through the forest step into the mushy pool, and the seeds glue themselves to their feet. As the animals stomp through the forest, their sticky feet pick up

If a black cat crosses their path, they think they will have bad luck.Black cats havent always had such a bad reputation. Long ago, the
41、Egyptians thought that black cats were holy animals. They even worshipped them. Pasht was an Egyptian goddess who had a womans body and a cats head. Because the Egyptians had so much respect for black cats, they often buried the Usacred/U creatures with great ceremony. Mummies of cats have often bee
42、n found in ancient cemetery ruins. To keep the cats company after they died, mice were sometimes buried beside them.Feelings about black cats have always been strong.
