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. In recent years, though, researchers have discovered a number of interesting facts about bat flight. Bats are built differently from birds, and their wings are made up of both their front and hind limbs (肢體). 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. However, 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. these will vary depending on the area where a bat species makes its home. For example, a cave bat, which regularly lives on a hard stone ceiling, is more careful about its landing preparation than a bat more accustomed to landing in leafy treetops.（1）Which of the following is the topic of the passage? A.Why scientists have difficulty observing bats.C.Ways in which bats move differently from birds.（2）Which of the following is a false assumption about bats that was recently corrected? A.They sleep upside down.C.They hide in tree branches.（3）The word it (in 2nd paragraph) probably refers to ______. A.B.the flying directionD.Bats might hurt themselves when landing.B.Bats can adjust speed before landing.Bats and birds land in different ways.【答案】 （1）D（2）C（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，作者用研究事實(shí)來(lái)證明蝙蝠在飛行及運(yùn)動(dòng)方式與鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)完全不同。 （1）考查主旨大意。第二段用研究證明過(guò)去認(rèn)為蝙蝠和鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)在飛行運(yùn)動(dòng)方面沒(méi)有什么區(qū)別是錯(cuò)誤的。綜上所述，可知，蝙蝠與鳥(niǎo)運(yùn)動(dòng)方式的不同是本文的主題。 （2）考查推理判斷。 （3）考查代詞指代。由此可知，此處的it指的是飛行的方向。 （4）考查推斷判斷。這種降落方式的一個(gè)缺點(diǎn)是蝙蝠經(jīng)常用力降落，這可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致疼痛。故選B。7．閱讀理解 Dr. Chockalingam, a heart disease specialist in Columbia, advises his patients to smile. He says a smile may be one way to help your heart. When we smile, the brain wiring changes. The chemicals that are released are more positive. He says smiling is the first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and its sometimes harmful effects on human health. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies support his opinion. s main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fightorflight response. Researchers say the connection between stress and heart disease is still unclear. However, they claim that when people are stressed for long periods of time, they may have an unhealthy lifestyle, which can lead to health problems. Once people smile, they are relaxing. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health. And it just may provide a little extra protection to everyone39。s opinion? has the same effects as laughter. can be used to take the place of medicine. is better than any healthy lifestyle to health. can make our body produce beneficial chemicals.（2）What can we know about the mentioned stress hormones? can lower our blood pressure. will surely lead to heart diseases. can benefit us when we are in danger. will make us live an unhealthy lifestyle.（3）Why does Dr. Chockalingam think smiling is helpful to our health? can make us relax. increases sugar levels. has little bad side effects. can happen for no reason.（4）What can be the best title for the text?
