25、marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 30 Its a classic mystery of the deep. Why does the hammerhead shark (双髻鲨 )have the bizarrely shaped head from which it gets its name? There h

26、ave been a variety of suggested explanations. Some simply say that the sharks use their heads to “hammer“ and pin down their favourite food. More plausibly, others have speculated that the wide lobes(圆形突出部分 )of the hammerhead allow it to have longer electrorecep-tots, the organs that all sharks use

27、to detect the electric fields produced by nearby prey. This might allow hammerheads to sense subtler electric fields from more distant prey than their narrow-headed cousins. Now it turns out that the sharks head does indeed help it find and capture prey, but not in the way that zoologists expected.

28、Stephen Kajlura and Kim Holland of the University of Hawaii at Manoa set out to test the conventional theory by tricking young sharks into chasing phantom (虚构的 )prey. Using a system of wires on the bottom of a shallow pool, they set up electric fields that mimicked those created by the bottom-dwelli

29、ng shrimp and fish that form the sharks usual diet. Sure enough, hungry sharks abruptly turned towards an electric field when they detected it. But when the researchers measured the distance at which this happened they found it was the same for 13 young hammerheads as it was for 12 young sandbar sha

30、rks(沙堤鲨 ),which have normal-shaped heads. The two types of sharks proved equally adept at sensing the electric fields: each was able to detect the source from up to 30 centimetres away. That ruled out any improved sensitivity from the wider head. However, the hammerheads enjoy another more prosaic(平

31、淡无奇的 )advantage: their wider heads let them sweep more than twice as wide a swathe of the seafloor as they swim, which must boost their chance of encountering food. The researchers also found that hammerheads could turn more sharply when they detected the phantom prey. “Theyre a much more bendy shar

32、k , “says Kajlura, who is now at the University of California at Irvine. In part, thats because they have more slender bodies than the sandbar sharks. However, Kajiura has other unpublished data that suggests that the hammerheads broad heads can act as fins to improve manoeuvrability(机动性 ). So far,

33、the researchers have only experimented with young sharks, so adult hammerheads may gain some other advantage from their head shape. 31 The passage is mainly about _. （ A） the different species of sharks （ B） the differences between hammerhead and sandbar sharks （ C） how hammerhead sharks detect thei

34、r prey （ D） special functions of the hammerhead sharks 32 Which of the following is a feature that the hammerhead shark shares with other sharks? （ A） They have slender bodies. （ B） They have wide lobes. （ C） They use electroreceptors to detect prey. （ D） They sense electric fields from far away. 33

35、 What did Stephen Kajlura and Kim Holland initially want to prove by the experiment? （ A） hammerheads have slender bodies than sandbar sharks. （ B） hammerheads could sense subtler electric fields than sandbar sharks. （ C） hammerheads could sweep more food than sandbar sharks. （ D） adult hammerheads

36、may have more advantages than young hammerheads. 34 The experiment conducted by Stephen Kajlura and Kim Holland proves that _. （ A） the conventional theory is wrong （ B） phantom prey are as attractive as real ones （ C） hammerhead sharks can find more distant prey （ D） the wider head of the hammerhea

37、d shark provides more sensitivity 35 The conclusion made by Stephen Kajlura and Kim Holland is that hammerhead sharks _. （ A） use their heads to pin down their favorite food （ B） have more and longer electroreceptors （ C） have more chances to encounter food （ D） swim much faster than other sharks 36

38、 One of the reasons why hammerhead sharks can turn more swiftly than sandbar sharks is that they have _. （ A） big heads （ B） slender bodies （ C） wide lobes （ D） big fins 36 Ethiopians appear to have evolved a unique way of coping with thin mountain air. But how they do it remains a mystery. One way

39、for the body to get enough oxygen to its tissues when breathing oxygen-poor air is for it to make more red blood cells. This increases the amount of hemoglobin(血红蛋白 ), the protein that carries oxygen. Although less haemoglobin in the arteries is saturated with oxygen at high altitudes, having more o

40、f it makes up for the shortfall. People native to the high Andes are known to have more red blood cells than lowlanders, and athletes who train at altitude can increase their concentration of cells. But while many Tibetans also live at high altitudes, they do not have significantly elevated levels o

41、f haemoglobin. Instead they seem to boost the amount of nitric oxide, which dilates(使膨胀 ) blood vessels and increases blood flow. Now Cynthia Beall, an anthropologist from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, has found a third kind of adaptation. When she tested the blood of 236 peopl

42、e in the Ambaras region in the Semien Mountains of Ethiopia, she found that 95 percent of the haemoglobin in their arteries is saturated with oxygen, almost as much as that of people living at low altitudes and roughly 5 per cent above that of residents in the Andes or Tibet. “That shouldnt be, “say

43、s Beall. They must have a massively efficient way to get oxygen from the lungs to the blood, she says. But just what remains mysterious. They do not have higher concentrations of haemoglobin than anyone else, nor do they have a different kind of haemoglobin. Beall adds that this ability might be fou

44、nd in all people living in that part of the world, and not just those in the study. It might be why so many world-class endurance athletes are Ethiopian. “The next study needs to look at that,“she says. 37 From the passage we learn that haemoglobin is a kind of _. （ A） oxygen （ B） blood cell （ C） pr

45、otein （ D） artery 38 Why do athletes often go to high altitudes to train? （ A） Because they want to increase the amount of haemoglobin in their bodies. （ B） Because it may help reduce the amount of red blood cells in their bodies. （ C） Because they intend to learn more from the mountain dwellers. （

46、D） Because it can help them to adapt themselves to the high altitude. 39 From the passage we can infer that the faster our blood flows, _. （ A） the stronger we become （ B） the weaker we become （ C） the less nitric oxide we have （ D） the lower levels of haemoglobin we have 40 According to Cynthia Bea

47、ll, the haemoglobin in the arteries of the Ethiopians _. （ A） is saturated with more oxygen than lowlanders （ B） is saturated with as much oxygen as the Tibetans （ C） is more efficient than residents in the Andes and Tibet （ D） runs faster than people in any other region of the world 41 Cynthia Beal

48、l is going to do more research on _. （ A） why Ethiopians have more haemoglobin （ B） why so many world-class endurance athletes are Ethiopians （ C） whether the Ethiopians have different kind of haemoglobin （ D） whether the Ethiopians have higher concentration of haemoglobin 42 The best title of this

49、passage can be: _. （ A） Ethiopians and Hemoglobin （ B） Ethiopians and the World-class Athletes （ C） An Anthropological Study on Ethiopians （ D） A Myth. Hemoglobin and the World-class Athletes among the Ethiopians 42 Entrepreneurs are everybodys darlings these days. They may be small, but they are innovative.
