C. Reading Comprehension and Set Books (11 marks) 6. Read the following passage, then answer the questions. (7 marks) Some animals in northern countries have a way to adapt to long, cold winter weather. It is called hibernation. Hibernation is like deep sleep. This allows the animals to save their energy when there is no food. These animals’ bodies go through several changes during their hibernation. For example, the bear is the largest animal that hibernates. Its heart normally beats 40 to 50 times per minute. When the bear is hibernating, its heart beats only 8 to 12 times per minute. Its body temperature also drops.
Some animals hibernate all winter without waking. Other animals wake up now and then to eat some of the food they have stored for winter.
When the weather becomes colder in the autumn, a substance called Hibernation Inducement Trigger (HIT) becomes active in the blood of animals that hibernate. The HIT makes the animals start to prepare for winter by either storing food or eating a lot to add more fat to their bodies. This fat helps their bodies to keep warm and is a source of energy during the animals’ hibernation.
