designed by three young chilean engineering students, is the latest entry in a trend of bikes. they use their saddle seat as a lock. they can also use their handlebar（手柄）as a lock. but the inventors of the yerka have made an improvement to it. the bikes lower frame opens up into two arms that are then connected to the seat post and locked to a post, so thieves would have to destroy a yerka to get it unlocked.“thats why our motto is a bike that gets stolen is no longer a bike. what we have here is truly an unstealable bike,” said cristobal cabello, who came up with the design during a college engineering class with childhood friends andres roi eggers and juan jose monsalve.in chile and elsewhere in latin america, the spread of cycling lanes, storage racks and bike share programs are encouraging people to change from cars to bikes , which are cheaper and environmentally friendly. cristobal galban said a study by his team in 2013 found that the use of bikes has doubled among chileans in five years.the main problem in chile and elsewhere are the robberies. the most effective strategy commonly used in london today is to take the bike into the office with the rider. other strategies involve using a bike that looks so unattractive that nobody will want to steal it. but now the yerka can help solve the problem.now , while waiting for the patent（专利）to be approved and carrying out more tests, the team plans to raise funds. theyre also looking for a partner who can invest $300,000 needed to produce 1,000 bikes first that they hope will be sold by mid-2016.24. which of the following is not true about the yerka in paragraph 1?a. it looks very attractiveb. it aims at not being stolenc. it leads the new trend of bikesd. it uses its saddle seat as a lock25. according to cristobal cabello, it can be inferred that the yerka a. will be safe if it is fully used b. will be broken if it gets stolenc. will be expensive if it gets repairedd. will not be stolen even if it is unlocked26. from the last paragraph, we can learn that the yerka .a. doesnt need a lot of moneyb. cant be bought in the market yetc. will be popular with bike riders d. will be affordable for ordinary people27. what is the main idea of the passage?a. bikes in chile can easily get stolenb. chile is encouraging the use of bikesc. an expensive bike drew the worlds attentiond. three chileans designed an unstealable bikechorses are sensitive to the facial expressions and attention of other horses, including the direction of the eyes and ears. the findings, reported in the cell press journal current biology on august 4, are a reminder for us humans to look beyond our own limitations and recognize that other species may communicate in ways that we cant, the researchers say. after all, human ears arent mobile.“our study is the first to examine a potential cue(线索) to attention that humans do not have the ears,” says jennifer wathan of the university of sussex. “previous work investigating communication of attention in animals has focused on cues that humans use: body direction, head direction, and eye stare; no one else had gone beyond that. however, we found that in horses their ear position was also an important visual signal that other horses respond to. in fact, horses need to see the detailed facial features of both eyes and ears before they use another horses head direction to guide them.”the new study also challenges the earlier held view that animals with eyes to the sides of their heads cant gather information based on the direction of one another stare.wathan and the studys senior author karen mccomb took photographs to record cues given by horses when they were paying attention to something. then wathan and mccomb use these photographs as life-sized models for other horses to look at as they chose between two feeding buckets. in each case, the horse in the photo was paying attention to one of the buckets and not the other. in some cases, the researchers also controlled the image to remove information from key facial areas, including the eyes and the ears. the researchers observations show that horses rely on the head direction of other horses to find food. however, that ability to read each others interest level is disrupted when parts of the face-the eyes and earsare covered up with masks. the ability to correctly judge attention also varied depending on the identity of the horse pictured, suggesting that individual facial features may be important, the researchers report. 28. what can we know from the first paragraph?a. horses are the most sensitive animals.b. researchers should have great creativity.c. people should learn to make their ears mobile.d. people should strengthen their communication with animals.29. the previous researchers focused on all the following except_.a. body direction b. head direction c. ear direction d. eye direction30. which of the following is wrong according to the experiment?a. the horses in the photos the researchers used are as large as real horses.b. the researchers recorded horses reaction by means of photographing them.c. horses facial features may affect horses ability to correctly judge attention.d. the horse pictured in the photograph was looking at both buckets at the same time.31. before or during the experiment, the researchers_. a. fed up the horses b. got a camera ready c. take photos with horses d. covered the eyes and ears of the horsesa. a, b b. b, c c. b, d d. a, cdyou never see him, but theyre with you every time you fly. they record where you are going, how fast youre traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a megic book.theyre known as the black box.when planes fall from the sky, as a yemeni airliner did on its way to comoros islands in the india ocean june 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. so when a french submarine (潜水艇) detected the devices homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.in 1958, australian scientist david warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. that was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all u.s. commercial flights by 1960. early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device（装置） was completely redesigned and moved to the back of the plane the area least affected by impact from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). the same year, the federal aviation authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircrafts final moments. placed in an insulated ( 隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000. when in deep water, theyre also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. experts believe the boxes from air france flight 447, which crashed near brazil on june 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say theyre still likely to turn up. in the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one planes black boxes were never recovered.32in paragraph 1，the author wants to say the black box_.a. is an necessary device on an airplaneb. comes from a comic bookc. can prevent disastersd. can control the function of an airplane33from the black box on the yemeni airliner_could be found.a. the scene of the crash and the degree of the damageb. the total number of passengers on boardc. data for analyzing the cause of the crashd. homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash34why was the black box redesigned in 1965?a. new materials became available by that time.b. the early models often got damaged in the crash.c. too much space was needed for its device.d. the early models didnt provide the needed data.35what do we know about the black boxes from air france flight 447?a. there is still a good chance of their being recovered.b. there is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.c. they have stopped sending homing signals.d.they were destroyed somewhere near brazil.第二节 （5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。it can be difficult to meet new people and make friends, especially when you move to a
