重庆市渝中区2016高考英语短文阅读类暑假选练（5）【陕西省西安市长安一中2014第二次模拟】 阅读些列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出你最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。scientists have long had it in their mind to make a robot lizard (蜥蜴). they began with finding out why a lizard can hang on a wall. they noticed the lizards toes were unique: they have suckers (吸盘), which enable it to hang on walls. they, therefore, made a robot with suckers on its hands and feet. the robot could hang on the wall but fell off when crawling. so, they went on researching. 6 years ago, scientists discovered that suckers only were not enough. it is the bristles (刚毛) on each foot that adds friction (摩擦) and static adsorption (静电吸附力) that makes a lizard move on the smooth wall easily without falling down. then scientists made great efforts to fix thick bristles to the robots hands and feet. however, the effect was not satisfactory. the robot still couldnt attach itself firmly to the wall. scientists got puzzled: how on earth can the lizard crawl on an extremely smooth wall or even on a ceiling without dropping off? an accidental finding inspired them: one day a scientist happened to see an animal attack a lizard and bite off its tail. the lizard broke away from the animals teeth and threw itself on a wall to escape, only to fall off heavily on the ground. the scientist wondered: is it the tail that plays an important role in its travelling on the wall? he caught some lizards for an experiment. the result proved his assumption: a tailless lizard has no trouble walking on an ordinary wall but cant on a smooth one. a further study showed the lizards tail can prevent it falling over backward and, whats more, that the tail acts as an additional leg while one of the lizards legs leaves the wall, which is always the case while it is walking on the wall. thus, tailbot, a super tailed robot, is born. 49. what part(s) would be a must if scientists just wanted a robot which can hang on the wall? a. suckers.b. suckers and bristles.c. suckers, bristles and a tail.d. hands, feet, bristles and a tail. 50. the bristles function as something _. a. to protect the lizards toes from injury b. to produce friction and static adsorption c. to prevent a lizard falling over backward d. to help a lizard move about without falling51. the biggest importance of a lizards tail lies in _. a. helping support the bodyb. serving as another leg c. sticking to the walld. stopping slipping 52. what does the underlined part in the fifth paragraph refer to? a. a lizard often falls over backward while it travels on the wall.b. a lizard often has three legs on the wall while walking on the wall. c. a lizards tail will replace one of its legs while it moves on the wall. d. a lizards tail often stops it fall over backward while moving on the wall.【参考答案】4950、ab512、bc 【2015高考复习】阅读理解 for many people，volunteering is a way of life.holidays are the time of the year that more people are in a giving mood.homeless shelters，childrens hospitals，and
