Man has invented ways to keep warm, but how do animals defend themselves? They cannot reason in the sense that man can, but nature has taken care of the animal kingdom by providing animals with special instincts. One of these instincts is known as hibernation(冬眠).
"Sleeping like a dormouse(睡鼠)" is not only a common saying but a reality. When winter comes, the dormouse and other hibernating animals have reached a well-nourished state. They eat very well in warmer days laying down fat in the tissues of their bodies and during hibernation this keeps them alive. Safe in their nests, or burrows, they sleep soundly until the warmth of spring arrives. Bats, tortoises, snakes, frogs, even insects like butterflies, hibernate more or less completely. Some, like the squirrels, sleep during coldest weather but are roused by a warm spell. During hibernation, the temperature of an animal’s body drops drastically. Breathing and heartbeats almost cease.
Another instinctive methods of avoiding intense cold is to escape by means of migration. Wild swans, seagulls, swallows and cuckoos are a few of the very many kinds of birds which fly thousands of miles, twice a year, to avoid cold. Many animals, especially those of the Arctic regions, have summer and winter quarters. The Arctic deer of North America, as well as the reindeer of Europe, move southward towards the forests when winter approaches. They return to the northern area when the warmth of spring begins to be sensed. There are animals which do not attempt to leave at the first sign of winter cold. Their instinctive means of defense is to dig out a deep burrow, made soft and warm by padding out with straw, leaves, moss and fur. In it they have a "secret place" containing food which they hope will last the winter through! Animals which fall into this class include the Arctic fox, the rabbit and the ermine(貂)and the little field-mice. [br] What keeps animals alive during hibernation?
选项
A、The fat stored in their bodies.
B、Their thick fur.
C、Their warm burrows.
D、Their deep sleep.
答案
A
解析
本题同样是细节推理题,提问的是冬眠的动物依靠什么才能存活下去。同样根据第二段的前面几句话:睡鼠在冬天来临之前使自己身体的脂肪达到最厚,从而使自己在冬天冬眠的时候能安然过冬。由此可以推理出是动物身上的脂肪层为其提供养分过冬。所以正确答案为A)。
