The Fennec fox is also known as the desert fox since it survives in the Sahara Desert（撒哈拉沙漠）.It is the smallest of the species of foxes，and quite a few people wish to raise it as a pet because of its appearance.However，this is very rare，as it needs special care and attention.Let's take a look at the basic information on the Fennec fox，including its physical appearance，natural habitat and diet.
   Physical Appearance
   The Fennec fox is the smallest type of fox，with a body length of about 9.5—16 inches，and 6-inch-long ears.It weighs only around one kilogram.It has a cream-colored furry body with a black-tipped tail.
   Their ears are the largest among all foxes relative to the body size，which not only provide them with great hearing，but also radiate the extreme desert heat and thus help to keep the body cool.Moreover，in order to walk on the hot sand，a Fennec fox's feet are covered with thick fur.Besides that，the feet also help in digging，as this animal lives under the ground.
   Habitat and Lifestyle
   The habitat of this animal is mainly in the Sahara Desert，and also in other parts of North Africa.The Fennec fox is usually active during the night.This character helps it deal successfully with the extreme heat in the desert.
   As an extremely social animal，it often lives in groups of ten and each group has its own land.This animal is，however，aggressive too，ready to attack，especially in the mating（交配） season，when they all compete with each other for a mate.
   Diet
   The Fennec fox is an omnivore（雜食動物）.While it can survive on plants，it also needs other items such as insects，rabbits，birds and eggs.Getting used to living in the desert allows it to survive for long periods without any water.They take in water when eating food，and they will drink water if available.

（1）The reason why quite a few people wish to raise the Fennec fox is that it
D

A．has small body size
B．has great hearing
C．gets active at night
D．has special appearance
（2）The underlined word "radiate"（paragraph 3）is closest in meaning to "

  • 2．Some caterpillars' warning signals（信號）may have evolved（進化）from walking.
       A team，writing in the journal Nature Communications，reported that the hair-like structures the living things use to make sounds evolved from legs.
       The team studied caterpillars which use these structures to communicate their ownership of leaves.This means the caterpillars are able to"tell"strangers to go away without risking injury in fighting."These are really interesting caterpillars，"said Dr.Jayne Yack from Carleton University in Ottawa，Canada，who led the research."They make signals using hair-like structures which are on their back ends."
       The caterpillars drag these structures across the leaf to make scraping（刺耳的）sounds when strangers enter the area of their leaves."When they make this signal，the strangers leave，"explained Dr.Yack."It's like saying'I'm here，get out of here-I already own this leaf '."
       The scientists looked at other species（物種）within the same group of caterpillars and created their"family tree".They used chemical markers（標(biāo)記物）to work out the relationship between the animals，showing which in the group were the more ancient species and which species evolved more recently."Those more ancient species actually don't have these sound-producing structures.They have legs that they use to walk towards strangers，"said Dr.Yack.These more ancient species，she explained，walk towards strangers and try to fight against them."They can kill each other in the fighting，"Dr.Yack added.She said that the evolution of the scraping show had allowed the caterpillars to solve their fighting without injury."So our idea is that these signals actually avoid harm to both sides-they solve fighting in a more' friendly' way."
       The study also provides a map of an evolutionary process that many other biologists are researching.

    （1）What can we learn about caterpillars' warning structures from the text？

    A．They have the same use as hair.
    B．They are found in caterpillars' heads.
    C．They are used to fight against strangers.
    D．They may have evolved from caterpillars' legs.
    （2）According to the text，Dr.Yack's team did NOT
    .
    A．draw a family tree of caterpillars
    B．create a map to show how caterpillars evolve
    C．study species within the same group of caterpillars
    D．make clear the relationship between different species of caterpillars
    （3）What does the underlined word"They"in the fifth paragraph refer to？

    A．The ancient species.
    B．The chemical markers.
    C．The sound-producing structures.
    D．The more recently evolved species.
    （4）What is the main idea of the text？

    A．How caterpillars evolved.
    B．How caterpillars warn strangers.
    C．Communication between caterpillars.
    D．Caterpillars' warning signals evolved from walking.
