(2018·山东临沂)People already know a lot about animals. However, there are still some things about animals that may surprise you. Here are some facts about animals you probably didn’t know.
Cows do have best friends and feel stressed when they are separated. Scientists have found that cows are very social animals and a cow always makes friends with other cows. When a cow is with its friends, it feels relaxed, compared with when it is alone.
During breeding season, a male penguin (企鹅) will offer a small stone to a female penguin as a gift. If she takes it, they will become partners. When the female penguin lays an egg, she and her partner may carry it on their feet, because some penguins don’t build nests (鸟巢).
Crocodiles (鳄鱼) swallow (吞) stones. Crocodiles always swallow their food instead of eating it like other animals. They swallow stones which break the food into very small pieces in their stomachs. These stones may stay in their stomachs all their lives.
Elephants use plants to treat pain or other illness. Scientists once found a pregnant (怀孕的) elephant in Africa who ate a kind of plant which was not part of her normal food. Four days later, she gave birth to a baby elephant. The same plant was used by the local pregnant women.
根据短文内容,判断下列句子正误。正确的用“A”表示,不正确的用“B”表示。
1.A cow hates making friends with other cows.
2.All the male penguins will build nests if the female penguins lay eggs.
3.Crocodiles swallow stones to help with digestion (消化).
4.Elephants eat plants only when they are hungry.

We all know that zebras have stripes (条纹). However, both animal experts and zebra fans all over the world haven’t known the reason for centuries. But now it appears that some researchers in California may have finally solved the age-old mystery!
In order to find the reason why zebras have stripes, a team of scientists led by Professor Tim Caro set to work. They began by comparing the thickness, location, and the stripes on seven species of zebras that live in various geographic locations. They then examined some factors that may continuously affect zebras, such as their natural enemies, the temperatures of their living places and the small insects around them like flies. To their amazement, the only factor that was linked with the stripes was the annoying flies. The zebras with the most obvious and the largest number of stripes mostly live in areas with more flies.
But that led to another question: why are zebras the only kind of animal smart enough to develop the stripes? After all, there are plenty of other animals like horses and donkeys, which are facing the same trouble. Upon closer examination of the black and white animals, the researchers noticed that unlike the others, zebras have very short coats of hair, making them particularly easy to be bitten (咬) by the flies!
While Tim says that this mystery is finally solved, it has given rise to a new one. Why are these fearless flies that have no fears of attacking animals that are thousands of times bigger, afraid of black and white stripes? If you have any answer, be sure to add it to the comments below. It may help the professor with his new research!
1.What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 mean ________?
A.was connected with B.was different from
C.was similar to D.was harmful to
2.Why are zebras easy to be bitten?
A.They have very short coats of hair. B.They have a special smell.
C.They are very tall and strong. D.They live in dangerous places.
3.What will Tim study next?
A.Why flies like attacking zebras.
B.Why flies don’t attack horses or donkeys.
C.Why flies like attacking bigger animals.
D.Why flies are frightened of black and white stripes.
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
