But for penguins, they cannot get a taste of this happiness. Thats because penguins cant actually taste the delicious flavors (味道) of their favorite food-fish!Scientists from the University of Michigan examined the genome (基因组)of five species of penguins. They found that no one can taste umami (鲜味),the flavor of meat or fish, the BBC reported.Many animals have five basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami. But according to genetic data, penguins are believed to have only sour and salty tastes.These findings are surprising and puzzling. And scientists dont have a good explanation for them. But they have a few ideas.First, one of the umami genes doesnt work in cold temperatures. Its about zero degrees when they eat cold fish, Zhang Jianzhi, the lead scientist, told the Daily Mail, so even if the penguins had a functional (功能的)gene, it might not work when they needed it.Second, penguins tongues (舌头) are very special which may have something to do with their lack of taste. Instead of being covered with taste buds which help to taste food, penguins tongues are very spiky. This is better for them to hold slippery (滑的) fish than tasting them. One study even showed that some types of penguins dont even have taste buds.However, penguins seem to be managing just fine.Their behavior of swallowing food whole, and their tongue structure and function, suggest that penguins need no taste perception, said Zhang.（1）How many tastes do penguins have? A . FourB . ThreeC . TwoD . Five.（2）From the passage, we can learn that _. A . temperatures can decide the umami genes of penguinsB . the umami genes in penguins would work when neededC . penguins umami genes work well in cold temperaturesD . penguins tongues are very slippery（3）The underlined word spiky means _. A . 圆滑的B . 美味的C . 钉子似的D . 软绵绵的（4）All of the following decide that penguins need no taste perception EXCEPT _. A . they always swallow food wholeB . they live in cold temperaturesC . their tongue function is differentD . their tongue structure is special（5）The study finds that _. A . different penguins have their own favorite fishB . penguins have different genomes for the five tastesC . penguins dont have any of the five basic tastesD . penguins cant taste the flavor of fish15. （11.0分）阅读理解 Everyone has his own birthday.
