Everyone knows how similar chimpanzees are to humans.So it's no surprise hat their greetings are also close to ours.The most usual ways of greeting between chimpanzees are hand touching and hugging ()Sometimes they also kiss cach other.Some chimpanzees can even lcarn simple sign language. Giraffes hardly ever make loud sounds.Their necks can reach two meters in length,making them useful in greeting each other.When two giraffes meet,they may "shake"their necks and rub (them against each other.This is to feel how strong and tall the other is. Dolphins greet one another with whistles().They can hear other dolphins from many kilomcters away.Every dolphin has a diffcrent whistle.When two groups of dolphins meet,they each choose a member to"talk"to the other group. The two groups can then travel together.Unlike most of the other animals,dolphins are smart enough to learn a new language by inventing and copying new sounds. 41.Chimpanzees usually greet each other by A.kissing on the face B.nodding and bowing C.whistling and talking D.touching hands and hugging 42.What can we know from the passage?

B 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.The trip can be dangerous,so some travel in large groups.For cxample,geese()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 bodies.For example,snowshoe rabbits grow white fur to help them hide in the snow. 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 hibemate()for part or all of the winter.This is a special,very deep sleep. The animal's body becomes cold,and its heartbeat and breathing()slow down.It seldom moves.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 spead the winter in different forms of their lives.Some insects also spend the winter without moving.Some insects spend the winter as pupae().Other insects die after laying eggs in autumn. The eggs change into new insects in spring and everything begins all over again. 43.The underlined word"migrate"in the first paragraph most probably means A.change the bodies B.look for food C.move from one place to another D.sleep in the winter 44.Snowshoe rabbits spend the cold winter by A.breathing through their skin B.eating a lot of food C.sleeping for the whole winter D.growing white fur 45.Which of the following sentences can be put in 2 A.Food is hard to find in winter.

Katle waved to Ernest,her uncle's neighbour,on the boathouse.The gull's name,Gulliver,was given by him.The gull's size and his single leg made the bird itself different.But Erest told Katie what Gulliver did that first summer Katie and her dad came caught everyone's attention.Young Katie lay in her stroller(婴儿车)on tho floating dock(码头)when Uncle Ralph and Dad were repairing boats nearby.The waves from the passing boat made Katie's stroller shake strongly.
