Animals do many different， amazing things to get through the winter. Some of them migrate. They travel to other places where the weather is warmer or where they can find food.

Many birds migrate in autumn. Because the trip can be dangerous， some travel in large groups. For example， geese(鵝) fly in noisy， “V”-shaped groups. Other kinds of birds fly alone.

Some animals stay active in winter. They must change themselves as the weather changes. Many change their doing or their bodies. For example， snowshoe rabbits grow white fur to help them hide in the snow.

Food is hard to find in winter. Some animals， like mice， collect lots of food in autumn and store it to eat later. Some animals eat different kinds of food as the seasons change.

Some animals hibernate for part or all of the winter. This is a special， very deep sleep. The animal’s body temperature drops， and its heartbeat and breathing slow down. It uses very little energy. In autumn， these animals get ready for winter by eating much more food than in summer and storing it as body fat. They use this fat to keep them alive while hibernating.

Water makes good protection for many animals. When the weather gets cold， they move to the bottom of lakes and rivers. There， frogs and many fish hide under rocks or fallen leaves. Cold water holds more oxygen than warm water， and frogs can breathe through their skin.

Every type of insect has its own life cycle and that is the way it grows and changes. Different insects spend the winter in different forms of their lives. Some insects also spend the winter without moving. Some insects spend the winter as pupae（蛹）. Other insects die after laying eggs in autumn. The eggs change into new insects in spring and everything begins all over again.

1.What does the underlined word “migrate” in the first paragraph most probably mean ?

A. move from one place to another B. sleep in the winter

C. disappear D. look for food

2.Why do many birds fly in large groups？

A. They can easily find food this way.

閱讀下列短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案。

Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes， toothpaste， shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But， if you travel to Beijing ， remember to bring your own things. Starting from June， some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.

Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources (資源) and is very bad for the environment. Do you know， one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing ， people throw away about 19，000 tons of plastic bags and 1，320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out， the better. So， wherever you travel， bring your own things and use them again and again.

Back at home and school， you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life：L Use cloth shopping bags， not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag， wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen（食堂）， use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.

1.Why do many hotels provide guests with some disposable things?

A. Let their guests be convenient during their travelling.

B. Hope their guests use less disposable things.

C. Wish their guests to save money.

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Many disposable things are made of plastic.

B. Throwing disposable things away is a waste of natural resources.

C. Plastic is very bad for the environment.

D. Plastic breaks down easily.

4.What can we do to make our world a better place at home and school?

A. Use shopping bags made of plastic.

B. Do not throw away paper cups.

C. Use disposable plates， bowls and chopsticks.

D. Do not forget to reuse daily necessities（日用品）.

5.We can tell from the story that ____.
