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.
How does the dormouse defend itself against cold in winter?
选项
A、It moves about to keep warm.
B、It grows thicker fur.
C、It sleeps continuously.
D、It goes to warmer areas.
答案
C
解析
本题为推理判断题中的细节推理题,提问的是睡鼠冬天是如何过冬的。根据第二段的前面儿句话可以判断,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。所以由此推理出睡鼠的过冬方式是冬眠,答案是C)。
