24、TOKYO, JAPAN – What do you do when you see a cockroach (蟑螂)? Do you hit it with a newspaper? Do you step on it?

When researchers at Tokyo University see a cockroach, they take the remote control and make the cockroach turn around, run left or right, or go forward. These scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots（机器人）. Each cockroach has a very small packet that has in it a microprocessor (微处理器). Then researchers can send signals (信号) from the remote control to the packet. The signals control the movements of the cockroaches.

Why does anyone want to control a cockroach? “Insects can do many things that people can’t,” says Isao Shimoyama, head of robot research at Tokyo University. In a few years, he says, these robot insects will carry very small cameras. They will be able to move through earthquake rubble (瓦砾) to look for people or move under doors to find information about someone.

This may seem strange, but the Japanese government thinks the research is very important. The government is giving the scientists $ 5 million for this research.

First, the research keeps hundreds of cockroaches. They use only the American cockroach because it is bigger and stronger than other cockroaches. Then they choose the best cockroaches and remove their wings and antennae (触须). They put small packets where the antennae were. The packets weigh about three grams, or about two times the weight of the cockroaches themselves. “Cockroaches are very strong,” says Ralph Holzer, who is a researcher at Tokyo University. “They can lift 20 times their own weight.”

With a remote control, the scientists send signals to the packets. When a cockroach gets the signal, it moves. The problem is that the cockroaches don’t always move in the right direction.

【1】The scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots because ______________________.

A. they want cockroaches to do things people can’t in the future

B. they want to control the movements of the cockroaches

C. they want cockroaches to take photos of the earthquakes

D. they want to send signals to the packets on the cockroaches

【2】Scientists control cockroaches’ movements _________________________.

A. by removing their wings

B. by sending signals from the remote control

C. by using very small cameras

D. by removing their antennae

【3】What can cockroaches do to help people?

A. They can lift 20 times their own weight.

B. They can help people to carry very small cameras.

C. They can keep hundreds of cockroaches.

D. They can search for those people in rubble after an earthquake.

【4】What problem do the cockroaches meet with?

A. The cockroaches sometimes don’t move.

B. The cockroaches are too big to move through earthquake rubble.

C. The cockroaches sometimes move in the wrong direction.

D. The cockroaches can only lift 20 times their own weight.

25、

A Johns Hopkins University researcher, Melville J. Wohlgemuth, noticed that the hats he worked with turned their heads to the side when hunting. "It's a lovely behavior, and I was curious about the purpose, " he said. "I wanted to know when bats were doing this and why. It seemed to happen as hats were targeting prey（瞄准猎物）, and that turned out to he the case."

Wohigemuth's team found that a bat's head and ear movements went with the animal's sonar vocalizations（声纳发声）to help it hunt. The findings show how movements can strengthen signals used by senses like sight and hearing-not just in bats, but in dogs and cats, and even in humans.

Bats' use of echo-location（回声定位）to find, locate and catch prey is well documented. But the lead author Wohlgemuth and his team are the first to show how the mysterious head and ear movements influence the hunt.

The researchers used a novel method to study the head and ear movements of the big brown bat, a common bat species. First, researchers trained the bat to sit on a platform while tracking moving prey. After that, the researchers fixed markers to the top of the bat's head and both ears. The markers allowed the team to measure the head and ear positions as the bat tracked the prey moving in various directions.

They found the head movements took place when the prey changed direction or moved unpredictably. The ear movements happened as the prey grew closer, which helped the bat hear the echoes it used to track and catch the prey. Most notably, these head and ear movements went with the bat's vocalizations, allowing the animal to locate where the prey exactly was.

Co-author Cynthia F. Moss said other similar studies missed the importance of head and ear movements, because laboratories usually observed the subject with a fixed head position. That's not how animals operate in the real world, when their heads are free to move.

Moss compared the bat's head and ear movements to those of other species that use active sensing to process important information. "By studying these movements, " she said, "we as humans can get insight into how movements help animals sense their environment."

【1】The research of Wohlgemuth and his team is the first to prove that ___________ ·

A．head and ear movements help bats locate the prey

B．animals send signals to help them hunt more quickly

C．humans learn to hunt by copying animals' movements

D．sonar vocalizations can work for both animals and humans

【2】The fourth paragraph is mainly about ___________ .

A．how the bat uses head and ear movements to track moving prey

B．how the researchers studied the head and ear movements of the bat

C．how the bat is trained to track the prey by moving its head and ears

D．how the researchers measured the moving hat's head and ear positions

【3】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Bats: A Master of Night Hunting

B．Bats: A Model of Fast Movements

C．Bats: An Expert of Exact Location

D．Bats: An Example of Mysterious Animals

26、Chemical reactions (反应)make for some great experiments (实验). You can make use of the CO2 (carbon dioxide) given off by a baking soda (小苏打)and vinegar (醋)reaction to blow up your balloon!

What you’ll need

★ Balloon                           ★ Soft drink bottle             ★ About 40 ml of water

★ Vinegar                           ★ A teaspoon of baking soda

Instructions

★ Before you begin, make sure that you pull the balloon long to make it as easy as possible to blow up.

★ Put the 40 ml of water into the soft drink bottle.

★ Add the baking soda and mix it with water.

★ Put the vinegar in and quickly put the balloon over the mouth of the bottle.

What’s happening?

If all goes well, then your balloon should inflate! Adding the vinegar to the baking soda creates a chemical reaction. The baking soda is a base (碱), while the vinegar is an acid (酸). When the two are put together, they create CO2. The gas rises up and escapes through the soft drink bottle. However, it doesn’t escape the balloon, pushing it outwards and blowing it up.

【1】What does a baking soda and vinegar reaction give off?

A．O2

B．O3

C．CO2

D．H2O

【2】What should you do before you begin?

A．Heat the water.

28、阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。

Our grandparents seem to have magic powers sometimes. Give them a Chinese lunar calendar and they will know what the weather will be like days or even months later.

What's the secret? They are following the 24 Solar Terms (节气), which are 【1】 important part of Chinese culture. Last year the United Nations 【2】 (add) it to the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人类非物质文化遗产).

The 24 Solar Terms began during the ancient periods. At that time, most Chinese people made 【3】 (they) living on farms. So weather changes were important 【4】 them. But of course, they had no weather report or Internet 【5】 (help) them.

But people found a way. They studied the sun's movement and also 【6】 (pay) attention to other natural changes such as air temperature, water and plant growth. In the end, they worked out the 24 Solar Terms to mark the 【7】 (change).

The terms became their guide to farming work. For example, the solar term Jingzhe (惊蛰) is when insects (昆虫) wake up 【8】 a long sleep in the cold winter. Farmers take it as a sign of warm weather and get busy working.

The 24 Solar Terms is regarded as China's 【9】 (five) great invention. After papermaking, printing, the compass and gunpowder. Now, it is still 【10】 (wide) used in daily life even in the age of technology-based modern farming.
