B
Narwhals（独角鲸）are one of the most beautiful animals living in the sea. They have the love of the world. But they are in danger for a very special reason: their own bodies. Scientists find that the narwhals are born with special feature（特点）.
One of their most special features is their pointy tusk（长牙）. It can grow up to 8.8 feet! Male narwhals have a bigger tusk while females have a smaller one.
Narwhals live in icy water and their skin can protect them from the cold. They spend winters in deep waters under ice, and then move to shallow ice-free waters for the summers, but never really go far from the ice. Unluckily, because of global warming, there is less ice for them to live by. If there is no ice for them to hide from danger, their enemies（敌人）can find them more easily.
When a narwhal finds danger and becomes afraid, it tries to swim away quickly. Bu its heart beats more slowly. It is very different from humans. When a human tries to run away from danger, their heart beats faster to have enough oxygen（氧气）in their body. So if narwhals run too fast, they may feel sick because of not having enough oxygen.
So why does this happen to a narwhal? Scientists need to study more about their body. But they are sure that human activities may make the situation worse.
When narwhals find another sea animal, they don’t feel afraid. But when they hear boats, humans, or machines, they are afraid and cannot stop swimming away. This is very dangerous for them. They also have to swim farther for safety because the ice keeps melting（融化）.
Hopefully, we can learn more about the narwhals in time to save them.
39. The narwhals are in danger because of .
A. their tusks B. their bodies C. sea animals D. both B and C
40. What does the word “shallow” in paragraph 3 possibly mean?
A. Thick B. Deep C. Not deep D. Not thick
41. Why is ice so important for narwhals?
A. Female narwhals like ice better.
B. The narwhals can live far away from ice.
C. Ice can help narwhals hide from their enemies.
D. The narwhals have to live in deep waters under ice in summer.
42. From the passage, we learn that .
A. narwhals have to swim farther for safety if the ice keeps melting
B. narwhals are afraid of all the living things including other sea animals
C. when narwhals try to run away quickly, their heart beat faster like humans
