11、stealth technology (隐形技术) that helps them charge towards preyan animal hunted and eaten by anotherundetected, a study has shown.Owls have flight feathers that absorb aerodynamic sound and control the vibrations (振动) that occur when a bird beats its wings. The result is perfect silence as it approach

12、es a mouse or other prey.Scientists used lasers and high-speed cameras to analyze and compare long-eared owl, eagle and pigeon feathers during flight. While differing in size, all three birds have a similar wing-beat style.Professor Jinkui Chu led the research. He said, “Many owls have a unique and

13、fascinating ability to fly so silently that they are out of their preys hearing range, due to their feather structure.”This behaviour has long been of interest to engineers, as we seek to apply the owls noise-reduction mechanisms (机制) to other purposes and situations that benefit society.Now, howeve

14、r, we know the owls silent flight ability is even better than we thought. Of all birds the owl is the king of acoustic stealth. It not only manages to prevent aerodynamic noise when gliding, but also mechanical noise caused by vibration during flying.This is remarkable, considering the sudden jumpin

15、g, bending and twisting the wings are subjected to when flapping and the noise that is created by other birds.In the scientific world, the process used to remove this mechanical noise is called damping, which means the removal of mechanical energy from a vibrating system usually by changing it into

16、heat and allowing it to remain steady.“Our research showed the long-eared owl has superior damping skill, meaning it can remain amazingly stable and remove mechanical noise caused by the movement of its feathers quite an impressive achievement of engineering.99He added, “This study will hopefully pr

17、ovide further insight into the owls silent flight mechanism and help engineers develop ideas for special materials or structures, such as on-shore wind turbines, where similar noise removal can be applied.”1、What can be true about owls according to the text?AThey are active during the day. BThey att

18、ract much attention from engineers.CThey have similar wings to eagles. DThey beat wings without vibrations.2、By saying “the owl is the king of acoustic stealth” in Paragraph 6, Jinkui Chu means owls_.Aare good at capturing prey Bhave a good sense of hearingCare good at jumping and twisting Dhave sil

DThe removal of mechanical energy.22（8分）For Pei Shiyou, this years Lunar New years Eve was among the few he ha spent with his extended family.“Its one of the be

A global study looked at the average height of 18-year-olds in 200 countries

40、1914 and 2014. The results show that while Swedes were the tallest people in the world in 1914, Dutch men have risen from l2th place to claim top spot with an average height of 182.5cm. Larvian women, meanwhile, rose from 28th place in 1914 to become the tallest in the world a century later, with an

41、 average height of 169.8cm. James Bentham, a co-author of the research says the global trend is likely but once you average over whole populations, genetics plays a less key role, he added.But while height has increased around the world, the trend in many countries of north and sub-Saharan Africa ca

42、uses concern, says Elio Riboli of Imperial College. While height increased in Uganda and Niger during the early 20th century, the trend has reversed in recent years, with height decreasing among 18-year-olds.One reason for these decreases in height is the economic situation in the 1980s, said Profes

43、sor Alexander. The nutritional and health problems that followed the policy of structural adjustment, he says, led to many children and teenagers failing to reach their full potential in terms of height.Bentham believes the global trend of increasing height has important implications. How tall we ar

The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination, done twice a week for only two months,

48、reduced the symptoms for a group of students by 40 percent.“We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and non-depressed students,” said lead author Dr. Brandon Alderman. “It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have b

They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their brea
