9、nimals have different ways of protecting themselves against wintertime weather. Some animals grow heavy coats of fur or feathers, while others dig into the ground 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 wh
10、en 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 are wondering how hibernation came into being. Some scientists have explored the possibility that animals release a chemical that starts them
11、 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 fall into a wintertime sleep are not true hibernators because they spend only a part of the cold season asleep. Bears, for example, can easily
12、 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 example, some mice hibernate, but others do not. The same is true of bats. Some of them hibernate. Others do not. 21 Hibernation is a seasona
13、l practice. This means it _.（A）takes place only during a particular season（B） occurs only during the night（C） is a daily practice（D）only happens when a species becomes over-populated 22 Some scientists believe that hibernation is started by _.（A）over-eating（B） calcium deposits（C） a body chemical（D）a

15、rotects animals during the wintertime（C） scientists feel puzzled about hibernation（D）some bats hibernate and others do not 24 Only 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 s
16、topping. What amazing animal has such endurance? The camel! The camel is well known for something else, too. It can cross an entire 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. W
17、ithin each stomach are layers and layers of cells. These cells are like tiny water balloons, storing liquids until the camel needs 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
18、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 not 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
19、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!When a camel moves it sways from side to side like a ship on a wavy ocean. Because of this swaying motion, the camel has been called the “Ship of the Desert.“25 The camels hu
20、mp is a storage place for _.（A）muscles（B） extra water（C） body sugars（D）fat 26 We can conclude from this passage that camels _.（A）feel at home in the desert（B） like to carry heavy loads（C） look like ships from a distance（D）will always be useful 27 The author compares cells with water balloons in orde

The
22、y turned back as fast as they could. What had they seen.? The lake was boiling!The group was investigating 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 volc
23、ano called Soufriere, which erupted last in 1902. Since that time, it had not shown any signs 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 e
24、ggs. A seething fog was rising from the lakes surface.Local scientists rushed to Soufriere to 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
25、 bottom of the lake and formed a new island.The investigators wanted to make sure that the volcano 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 bo
26、iled. 29 This passage is about _.（A）mountain climbing（B） a boiling lake（C） a new volcanic island（D）a mysterious blob 30 A crater lake is at the tip of a _.（A）mountain（B） ridge（C） island（D）volcano 31 We can conclude that _.（A）the situation was nothing to be concerned about（B） Soufriere is still an ac

The rafflesia, a rare blossom, is very unusual
28、. Found in the rain forests of Sumatra, the rafflesia is the worlds largest flower, measuring three feet in diameter!This giant flower is a parasite-it needs another plant to live on. It lacks the structures needed to survive alone. The rafflesia has no stem or leaves. It is all flower. It attaches
29、itself to the roots of other plants and sucks their juices. 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
30、 is about the size of a household bucket. After a rain, it 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 a
31、nimals stomp through the forest, their sticky feet pick up twigs and leaves. The elephants try to rid themselves of the sticky mess, in the same way people try to get bubble gum off their shoes. The elephants rub their feet against the roots of the vine. In no time, seeds left on the vine grow into
32、more monstrous flowers!33 Elephants help to _.（A）provide food for the giant flower（B） water the rafflesia with their trunks（C） carry rafflesia seeds from one place to another（D）stomp out the awful smelling petals 34 From this passage, we can guess that the writer _.（A）likes elephants（B） has a very l

If a black cat crosses their path, they think they will have bad luck.Black cats havent always had such a bad re
35、putation. Long ago, the 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 sacred creatures with great ceremony. Mummies o
36、f cats have often been 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. People have thought they were either very good or very bad. The people of Europe, in the Middle Ages, believed b
37、lack cats were the evil friends of witches and the Devil. Witches were said to have the power to change themselves into black cats. People believed that you could not tell whether a black cat was just a cat, or whether it was a witch disguising herself as she plotted some evil scheme. The brain of a
38、 black cat was thought to be a main ingredient in witchs brew.Unlike their ancestors of the Middle Ages, Englishmen today consider black cats to be good luck charms.
