19、(信鸽) can be taken hundreds of miles from their homes. When they are let to go to fly again, they find their way home. Because of this special ability to find home, pigeons have been used as messengers for hundreds of years. Today people even breed homing pigeons for racing as a sport. The birds are

20、shipped to some chosen place a few hundred miles away. Then all of them are let to go together. The winner is the bird that gets home first. A good racer can make it home from 500 miles away in a single day. The mystery of the homing pigeon is how it tells direction and how it finds home. The first

21、part seems to be pretty well answered, and we know of two ways that pigeons tell directions. First, they use the sun. Experiments show that homing pigeons can tell directions by the sun. What happens when the sky is darkly overcast by clouds and no one can see where the sun is? Then the pigeons stil

22、l find their way home. Naturally, people have wondered whether pigeons might have a built-in compasssomething that would tell them about the direction of the earth“s magnetic (磁的) field. Many different kinds of experiments were done. Heres what the scientists decided after they had made experiments

23、many times. When pigeons can see the sun, they use it as their main means(手段)of direction-finding. When they cannot see the sun, they use some special way to sense direction from the earths magnetic field. But how do pigeons know which direction is toward home? What do they use that we would call a

24、map? These are other questions to be answered.（分数：3.00）(1).Pigeons have been used as messengers because _.（分数：1.00）A.they have a built-in compassB.they can cover 500 miles in a single dayC.they have special ability to tell directionsD.they can find their way home(2).Which is not true according to hi

29、med Jerusalem (耶路撒冷) Viruses. These viruses can stay in computers for a long time.

37、est a telephone call to make sure of the mail“s source before opening.

41、ust seconds apart. When fire can kill within a few breaths, anything which gives him a little extra time is vital. Du Pont has spent years working with fire authorities to help give them those extra seconds. The result is a lightweight, fire resistant fibre: NOMEX . A suit of NOMEX III allows fireme

42、n to work closer to a fire, and enabled Roll Blum and his colleagues to rescue a little girl. Without it, he wouldn“t have been able to reach her. NOMEX III is now standard wear for the fire brigades of many cities including Frankfurt, London and Milan, providing those vital extra seconds which coul

43、d last a lifetime. Safety is just one area in which Du Pont is making important breakthroughs. Through Research this not only reduces the weight of a car, but also makes the motor burn less fuel and work better. Some engineers believe that the noise-killing system will be used in most cars within a

44、few years. But the carmakers haven“t decided if they will carry it into production because it would add several hundred dollars to the cost of their cars.（分数：3.00）(1).Which of the following gives a general idea of how the noise-killing system works?（分数：1.00）A.By producing pressure waves going in the

45、 opposite direction.B.By mixing high frequency sound waves with low frequency sound waves.C.By mixing new sound waves with the noise and sending them out together.D.By making copies of the unwanted sound waves and letting them out a little later.(2).Besides its main use the noise-killing system can_

46、.（分数：1.00）A.make a car lighterB.make a car quieterC.reduce the cost of a silencerD.improve the performance of a silencer(3).The noise-killing system is net yet popular mainly because_.（分数：1.00）A.it is still being tried outB.drivers still have their doubtsC.it increases the cost of car productionD.ca

47、rmakers are not sure if it is necessaryHow often do you use the Internet? Most American teens spend a lot of time emailing friends and surfing the Internet. A new study of more than 2 500 teens made by Yahoo, says that more teens use the Internet than watch television. In an average week, an America
