2019-2020年高中英语阅读理解 第四部分 动物世界（六）练习除了迁徙之外，还有什么办法应对严冬？在秋天里早做打算，身上长出新的皮毛可以御寒，储存大量额外的食物以备冬天食用。在树洞中，木头里，岩石下甚至地下找一个掩蔽处藏了起来就可过冬了，或者干脆来个冬眠吧。Some animals remain and stay active in the winter. They must adapt to the changing weather. Many make changes in their behavior or bodies. To keep warm, animals may grow new, thicker fur in the fall. On weasels and snowshoe rabbits, the new fur is white to help them hide in the snow. Food is hard to find in the winter. Some animals, like squirrels, mice and beavers, gather extra food in the fall and store it to eat later. Some, like rabbits and deer, spend winter looking for moss, twigs, bark and leaves to eat. Other animals eat different kinds of food as the seasons change. The red fox eats fruit and insects in the spring, summer and fall. In the winter, it can not find these things, so instead it eats small rodents. Animals may find winter shelter in holes in trees or logs, under rocks or leaves, or underground. Some mice even build tunnels through the snow. To try to stay warm, animals like squirrels and mice may huddle close together. Certain spiders and insects may stay active if they live in frost-free areas and can find food to eat. There are a few insects, like the winter stone fly, crane fly, and snow fleas, that are normally active in winter. Also, some fish stay active in cold water during the winter. Some animals hibernate for part or all of the winter. This is a special, very deep sleep. The animals body temperature drops, and its heartbeat and breathing slow down. It uses very little energy. In the fall, these animals get ready for winter by eating extra food and storing it as body fat. They use this fat for energy while hibernating. Some also store food like nuts or acorns to eat later in the winter. Bears, skunks, chipmunks, and some bats hibernate. prehension Questions:A. to remain and stay activeB. to keep warmC. because they cant find shelter for themselvesD. because they dont want to hibernate4.

English Idioms Related To Animals 与动物有关的英语成语与动物有关的成语有多少？英语和汉语虽是两种不同民族的语言，但有许多相通之处。我们常说的“亡羊补牢”，“一石二鸟”，“叫的狗不咬人”这些成语，在英语中都能找得到。下面还是让我们读读这篇文章吧。How many idioms are there in English that are drawn from animal life?For example, when we do two things at one and the same time we “kill two birds with one stone”, or if we are greedy and foolish, we “kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.” A bad-tempered person is “like a bear with a sore head”, an awkward, heavy-footed person is “like a bull in a china shop”, and a person with a bad character is “the black sheep” in a group.But lets leave the foolish person or the bad person, and consider the wise man. A wise man never “counts his chickens before they are hatched” or “buys a pig in a poke”he always examines carefully what he is buying before he pays his money. He will always, of course, do things in the right order and not try to “put the cart before the horse.” He will leave alone things that might cause trouble, as he would say “let sleeping dogs lie”, nor will he waste good things on people who cant appreciate them; he does not believe in “casting pearls before swine ”. There are some people who always take safety measures. When it is too late and “lock the stable door after the horse is stolen”, that, he considers, is as foolish as “putting the cart before the horse”. When bold decisive measures are necessary he takes them and “takes the bull by the horns”. And when an ill-tempered, sharp-tongued friend says something unpleasant, he doesnt worry too much; he knows “a barking dog does not bite.” If he knows a secret, he keeps it; he is not one to “let the cat out of the bag”. He knows, too, that there are things you cant force people to do. As he would say, “you can lead a horse to the water, but you cant make it drink”. And he would, of course, be too generous-hearted to “look a gift horse in the mouth.” Hes a cheerful, hard-working fellow, and “works like a horse.” He isnt proud, “riding the high horse”, and is always willing to help others in difficulty, “putting his shoulder to the wheel” and never giving “a white elephant ” to them. He pities the poor fellow who has “never had a dogs chance” and “leads a dogs life”, perhaps because misfortune has always “dogged his footsteps”.Here is a new married couple. They get on very well together; they dont lead a “cat and dog life”. She, of course, never makes “catty remarks”, nor will she fuss “like a cat on hot bricks” if he goes out when it is “raining cats and dogs”. She doesnt worry too much; she knows that “care killed a cat”. She knows the husband is careful what pany he keeps. “Birds of a feather flock together,” he often says to her. Otherwise, hed feel “like a fish out of water”.
