Its a strategy they use to avoid enemies,” Dr Elodie Briefer, who led the researc
48、h, explained to BBC News. “The mother call to the kids when she want them to come and feed, so we expected that kids would recognize the mothers voices.” In fact, this was the case for deer, which also use this hiding strategy, although they do not belong to the same family of species as goats.She a

58、a reality, but several scientists around the country have been studying hibernation.Cory Williams, at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, says, “A huge variety of mammals (哺乳动物) hibernate. However, hibernation in bears is different from that in small mammals .their body temperature only drops a few
59、degrees and they dont experience periodic rewarming.” In general, mammals with lower body temperatures during hibernation awaken every few days to raise their body temperature, or eat a bit. Bears do not emerge for any of these activities. Instead, they live off the fat they have collected during th
60、e summer and autumn months and even recycle their metabolic (新陈代谢的) waste.At the moment, the study of hibernation has and continues to contribute greatly to applications in the human world. For example, bears are able to maintain their bone mass during hibernation, and understanding this could help

63、入洞穴冬眠。下文详细介绍对熊冬眠的观察和研究,由此推知,开头提到435 Holly是为了引出冬眠的话题。33How do bears hibernate?AThey produce new body fat.BThey lower their body temperature greatly.CThey sleep through the whole winter.DThey rewarm themselves regularly.解析:选C推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Over the next few months, Fat Bear Week winner, 435 Holly, will
64、 go into hibernation (冬眠)”可知,熊在随后的几个月会进入冬眠。根据第四段中的“Instead, they live off the fat they have collected during the summer and autumn months and even recycle their metabolic (新陈代谢的) waste.”可知,熊在冬眠期间以夏天和秋天积攒的脂肪甚至新陈代谢物为食料。综上可知,熊是以睡眠状态进行冬眠的。34Whats the last paragraph mainly about?AThe new findings about h
65、ibernation.BThe significance of studying hibernation.CThe ways bears maintain their bone mass.DThe barriers to sending humans into space.解析:选B段落大意题。根据文章最后一段中的“the study of hibernation has and continues to contribute greatly to applications in the human world”可知,关于冬眠的研究已经为人类世界做出巨大贡献。随后举例说明熊能够在冬眠期间保持它
