Hello from nature’s foodies
As a proud grizzly bear, I say hello from Alaska. We eat anything we can get our paws on. One of my favourite meals is catching fresh salmon. There’s nothing quite like the pleasure of a stomach full of fresh fish!

I'm a blue whale. I may eat up to 3.6 million krill(磷虾) per day! You may wonder why such huge animals live on such tiny food? It's because our mouths only have rows of baleen(鲸须). It lets water flow out while holding in tiny things.
I'm a hummingbird. We eat flower nectar(蜜). We fly around a few thousand flowers each day to get as much food as possible. As we move our wings really fast, we burn through energy fast. So we need to keep feeding.
Hello~from~a~sloth~in~the~South~America! Our favourite food? Low-energy leaves! Do we eat a lot? No. We slow-movers don't need a lot of energy. Even our stomachs work so slowly that after a meal, we're too tired to do anything but...sleep!

答案：1. C 【点拨】根据“You may wonder why such huge animals live on such tiny food? It's because our mouths only have rows of baleen(鲸须).”可知，蓝鲸以磷虾等微小生物为食，是因为它们的嘴里只有鲸须。故选C。
2. C 【点拨】根据“As we move our wings really fast, we burn through energy fast. So we need to keep feeding.”以及“No. We slow-movers don't need a lot of energy.”可知，蜂鸟需要大量进食是因为它们的翅膀快速振动，消耗能量极快；而树懒则因为活动缓慢，能量消耗低，所以不需要大量进食，这都与它们的日常活动密切相关。故选C。
3. A 【点拨】本文介绍了不同动物的饮食习性，故文章可能来自杂志的“野生动物”部分。故选A。
