Question

12．Squirrels （松鼠） are getting ready for winter．They are looking for nuts and seeds，digging holes in the ground or finding holes in trees．That's where they store the food they will need during the coming months，when the weather is cold and sometimes snowy．Squirrels spend a lot of time in trees，which are like restaurants for them．Among their favorite things to eat are nuts and other parts of trees，like tender buds （花苞）．Squirrels may also eat corn，insects and other animals．And，as anyone who has a bird knows，squirrels love bird food!
Squirrels stay active all winter，so they need plenty of food to help keep up their energy．Squirrels tend to buryfood underground，piece by piece．Some squirrels may gather food into piles that they put at the base of trees or bury underground．When they need the food，squirrels use their memories and sense of smell to help them find what they buried．Sometimes，you'll even see them digging through the snow．
Squirrels make nests in trees．Some squirrels spend much of the winter in underground tunnels （地道），where it is warmer．When spring comes，squirrels change their eating habits to new plant growth，like buds and leaves．Sometimes they forget to dig up all their buried nut s．That's why you'll sometimes find a little tree growing in a place where neither you nor your family planted it．It must have been the squirrels．

Answer 1

分析 松鼠准备过冬了．它们寻找坚果和种子，在地上挖洞或在树上寻找洞穴，以储存它们寒冷或下雪天气的食物．松树的大部分时间住在树上，它们喜欢的食物包括坚果以及植物的其他部分，例如花苞，有时它们也会吃玉米、昆虫以及其他小动物还有鸟食．
松鼠在整个冬天都很活跃，因此它们需要大量的食物来给它们提供能量．它们通常会把食物埋在土里，当它们需要食物的食物，它们会凭着记忆和气味找到它们埋在地下的食物，甚至有时候你会发现它们能够找到覆盖在雪下面的食物．
松鼠会在树上建巢，有些松属，冬天居住在地下通道中，因为这里比较暖和．春天到来的时候，松鼠会改变它们的饮食习惯，改为吃青草和树叶．因此松鼠们有时会忘了找出它们埋的食物，因此你会发现你的院子中在没有种树的情况下会长出一颗小树；

解答 61．A．细节理解题．该题可以选用排除法．根据Squirrels （松鼠） are getting ready for winter．They are looking for nuts and seeds，digging holes in the ground or finding holes in trees．可知，松鼠过冬的时候，它们寻找坚果和种子，在地上挖洞或在树上寻找洞穴，并不会储存叶子来保暖，因此答案为A；
62．C．细节理解题．根据Squirrels spend a lot of time in trees，which are like restaurants for them．可知，松鼠们很多时间都在树上，原因就是树对于松鼠来说就是restaurant，也就是饭馆，因此松鼠在树上可以找到吃的，因此答案为C．Because their favorite food is there．
63．C．词义猜测题．划线词所在的句子是Squirrels tend to bury food underground，piece by piece．而后面出现的句子是Some squirrels may gather food into piles that they put at the base of trees or bury underground．有一些松鼠会将食物储存在树里，因此将食物埋在土里是最常用的方法，也就是它们通常将食物埋在土里，只不过有些松属会存在树洞里，因此这里的tend to 代表的就是usually，经常，因此答案为C；
64．D．推理判断题．根据Squirrels may also eat corn，insects and other animals．可知，松鼠会吃玉米、昆虫和其他小动物，因此A错误；根据Squirrels stay active all winter可知，松鼠在整个冬天都很活跃，并不是一直睡觉，因此B错误；根据Sometimes they forget to dig up all their buried nut s．That's why you'll sometimes find a little tree growing in a place where neither you nor your family planted it．It must have been the squirrels．可知，有些松鼠会忘记把它们的食物全部挖出来，因此有的时候它们埋藏的种子会发芽，但是并不意味着它们在春天种树，因此C错误、D正确；
65．B．文章主旨题．根据文中的内容可知，本文详细讲述了松鼠在冬天的活动，也就是松鼠如何越冬，因此答案为B．how squirrels spend winter
