walk on water has long interested humans greatly Sadly biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid we simply weigh too much and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink However several types of animals can walk on water One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus a lizard 蜥蜴 native to Central and South America It can run across 第 5 页 共 21 页 water for a distance of several meters avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water s surface with its feet The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward For humans to do this we d need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate hitting But fortunately there is an alternative cornflour By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water and it does take a tot you can create a non Newtonian liquid that doesn t behave like normal water Now if the surface of the water is hit hard enough particles 粒子 in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step and you really can walk

thick liquid 第 6 页 共 21 页 B To turn the water into solid C To help the liquid behave normally D To enable the water to move rapidly 4 What is the author s attitude toward the idea of humans walking on water A It is risky but beneficial B It is interesting and worth trying C It is crazy and cannot become a reality D It is impractical though theoretically possible 4 10 分 阅读理解 7 year old Tom likes
