Question 23 is based on the passage you have just heard.

听力原文：

    Winter in many places is very cold. There is lots of snow around, and the ground freezes, which can make life difficult for animals. People in cold places live in warm houses and have learned to adapt. What do animals do? （22） There are three main ways that animals survive the cold in winter: sleep, adapt or migrate.

    Some animals, such as bears, frogs and snakes, sleep all winter. They sleep very deeply and need little or no food. While sleeping, their body temperature drops, and their heart beat slows down.（23） To prepare for this before winter, these animals eat extra food to become fat, which gives them the energy they need while they sleep.

    Other animals adapt. For example, by staying active in winter. It is often hard for them to find food. （24） So some animals, such as mice, collect extra food before winter, and hide it. When winter comes, they return to their hiding places to eat the food. Some animals grow thicker fur, or live in tree holes or underground to stay warm.

    Some birds migrate by flying to a warmer place for the winter, where they can find more food. Some fly very long distances, including one kind of bird that flies from the remote north of the world, all the way to the distant south. （25） Some birds fly in groups for safety, while others fly alone.

23. What do we learn about animals that sleep through winter?

解析：B。本题目为细节题。问题为：动物冬天会怎样冬眠？根据原文“To prepare for this before winter, these animals eat extra food to become fat, which gives them the energy they need while they sleep. ”，可见这些动物会提前为冬天做准备，它们会吃很多食物来增肥，这样才能保证它们在睡眠中有足够消耗的能量。选项B）They consume the energy stored before the long sleep（它们通过消耗长眠之前所储存的能量），与文中信息相一致。
