Soon, winter is here. Snow covers the ground. People live in warm houses and wear heavy coats outside. But what happens to the birds? Birds do many different, amazing things to get through the winter. Some of them migrate (迁徙). This means they travel to other places with warmer weather or food. Many birds migrate in autumn. Some travel in large groups, because the trip can be dangerous. For example, geese (大雁) fly together in a “V” shape. Other kinds of birds fly alone. The eagle (鹰) travels high in the sky all by itself. How do they know when to leave? Scientists are still learning about this. Many scientists think migration is part of a bird’s every-year habit. It is influenced by the changing daylight and weather. When days get shorter and the air turns cold, some birds just know it’s time to fly south! Birds can fly very far. For example, the Arctic tern (北极燕鸥) lives close to the North Pole in summer. In autumn, it flies all the way to the South Pole—and comes back to the North Pole every spring! Most birds don’t fly that far, but how do they remember the way home each year? They use the sun, moon and stars to find their way. Isn’t nature clever? Next time you see birds flying south, you’ll know they are on their winter journey! 46. According to the passage, some birds ________________________ to get through the winter. （限1个词） 47.

Soon, winter is here. Snow covers the ground. People live in warm houses and wear heavy coats outside. But what happens to the birds? Birds do many different, amazing things to get through the winter. Some of them migrate (迁徙). This means they travel to other places with warmer weather or food. Many birds migrate in autumn. Some travel in large groups, because the trip can be dangerous. For example, geese (大雁) fly together in a “V” shape. Other kinds of birds fly alone. The eagle (鹰) travels high in the sky all by itself. How do they know when to leave? Scientists are still learning about this. Many scientists think migration is part of a bird’s every-year habit. It is influenced by the changing daylight and weather. When days get shorter and the air turns cold, some birds just know it’s time to fly south! Birds can fly very far. For example, the Arctic tern (北极燕鸥) lives close to the North Pole in summer. In autumn, it flies all the way to the South Pole—and comes back to the North Pole every spring! Most birds don’t fly that far, but how do they remember the way home each year? They use the sun, moon and stars to find their way. Isn’t nature clever? Next time you see birds flying south, you’ll know they are on their winter journey! 46. According to the passage, some birds ________________________ to get through the winter. （限1个词） 47.
