【正文】 ts can be observed flying around and then suddenly hanging upside down from an object overhead. One downside to this landing routine is that the bats often land with some force, which probably causes pain.可知，蝙蝠飛行的另一個有趣特征是蝙蝠倒立著降落的方式！不同于那些降落在地上或樹枝上的鳥，觀察到蝙蝠可以四處飛行，然后突然倒掛在頭頂?shù)奈矬w上。故選C。劃線部分的上下文說蝙蝠在自我調(diào)節(jié)的能力上要好得多：蝙蝠可以迅速改變飛行方向，或者完全與它（正飛行方向）相反的方向飛行，這是鳥不容易做到的。根據(jù)第二段中的 In the past it was believed that, in terms of flying mechanics, there was little difference between bats and birds. This belief was based only on assumption, however, because for years nobody had actually studied in detail how bats move their wings…This makes coordinating (協(xié)調(diào)) their limbs more difficult for bats and, as a result, they are not very good at flying over longer distances.可推斷出，過去人們認(rèn)為蝙蝠與鳥在飛行運(yùn)動方式與鳥沒有區(qū)別，最近的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，這是不正確的，故也是要糾正的，故選C。故選D。尤其是they are much better at the ability to adjust themselves: a bat can quickly change its direction of flight or pletely reverse it, something a bird cannot easily do可知蝙蝠與鳥的運(yùn)動不同；第三段中的Another interesting characteristic of bat flight is the way in which bats landupside down! Unlike birds which touch down on the ground or on tree branches,…再一次說明了蝙蝠與鳥運(yùn)動方式的不同。根據(jù)第一段中的Both bats and birds have mastered the skill of landing, but these two types of flyers go about it quite differently.提出了蝙蝠與鳥的降落方式及飛行的不同。以前人們認(rèn)為蝙蝠和鳥類在運(yùn)動方面沒有什么區(qū)別，但現(xiàn)在的研究證明蝙蝠的構(gòu)造不同于鳥類，它們的翅膀由前肢和后肢組成，它們自我調(diào)節(jié)能力好，可迅速改變飛行方向，或完全逆行，這是鳥類不容易做到的，而且蝙蝠飛行的另一個有趣特征是蝙蝠倒立著降落的！這不同于那些降落在地上或樹枝上的鳥。D.Bats can hang upside down like birds.C.the ability to change the speed（4）According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A.the sense of flying heightC.the distance to the netsD.They fly similarly to birds.B.They cannot hear any sound.Differences in the eating habits of bats and birds.D.Places where flying animals choose to land.B. Another interesting characteristic of bat flight is the way in which bats landupside down! Unlike birds which touch down on the ground or on tree branches, bats can be observed flying around and then suddenly hanging upside down from an object overhead. One downside to this landing routine is that the bats often land with some force, which probably causes pain. However, not all bats hit their landing spots with the same speed and force。 Being able to land safely is a critically important skill for all flying animals. Comparatively speaking, ground living animals face no particular challenge when they need to stop running or crawling, while flying animals move at much higher speed, and they must be careful about how they land. Hitting the ground, or even water, at full flight speed would be quite dangerous. Before touching down, they must decrease their speed in order to land safely. Both bats and birds have mastered the skill of landing, but these two types of flyers go about it quite differently. 【點評】本題考點涉及代詞指代，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，考生需要根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。 （3）考查推理判斷。 （2）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“While you39。To argue against the control of chemicals.【答案】 （1）D（2）B（3）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，用擬人的手法，以蜂蜜的口吻，介紹了蜜蜂雖然只有六周左右的壽命，但用其一生辛勤為人類釀造蜂蜜，人類應(yīng)該保護(hù)蜜蜂。To talk about the history of a treasure.C. social behavior.（3）What is the purpose of the passage?

The problem lies in the growth of industrial agriculture and the use of pest control chemicals, as well as changes in weather patterns, all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit I39。 A honeybee has about six weeks to live. Today, like most days, her task is to fly as many as three miles from home, stick her long, strawlike tongue into a hundred or so flowers. When the bee has had her fill, shell fly home. There the bee will deposit what she has got into the mouth of one of her coworkers, who will relay it to another, and so on for about 20 minutes, until the mixture is ready to be placed into the b. Then she and her 50 000 or so mates will hover in the dark all night every night, flapping their wings to create hot, breezy conditions to remove the water from the mixture. Several sunrises later, they will seal me off in a golden cell of beeswax. In her lifetime, our bee may visit 4, 000 flowers, and yet will produce only onetwelfth of a tea spoon of me. One spring day, once the flowers have begun to open, a bee will hover (盤旋) and zip through your yard and divebomb your piic table.
