问题     Animals have different ways of protecting themselves against wintertime weather. Some animals grow heavy coats of fur or feathers, while others dig into the ground to find a warm wintertime home. Some animals spend the winter in a deep sleep because by going to sleep they avoid the time of the year when food is scarce and the temperatures are low. Their sleep is known as hibernation.
    There is much about hibernation that puzzles scientists. For example,they are wondering how hibernation came into being. Some scientists have explored the possibility that animals release a chemical that starts them hibernating.
    One thing that scientists are certain about is that animals hibernate only when it is cold. Hibernation is a seasonal practice.
    Some animals that fall into a wintertime sleep are not true hibernators because they spend only a part of the cold season asleep. Bears,for example, can easily be awakened from their winter nap. They are not true hibernators.
    Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether a particular animal is a true hibernator. For example,some mice hibernate,but others do not. The same is true of bats. Some of them hibernate. Other do not.
The main idea of this passage is that______.
选项 A、many animals die during hibernation
B、hibernation protects animals during the wintertime
C、scientists feel puzzled about hibernation
D、some bats hibernate and others do not
答案C
解析 文章首段引出讨论的对象“hibernation”，接着最后几段论述科学家对“hiberna—tion”的疑惑之处，故全文主要讲的是科学家对“hibernation”的不解之处。故选C。
