aybe tenyearold Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father,“But,Dad,you_can’t_be_healthy_if_you’re_dead.”Dad,in a hurry to get hoe before dark so he could go for a run,had forgotten to wear his safety belt—a istake 75% of the US population akes every day.The big question is why.
There have been any yths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars soe forty years ago.The following are three of the ost coon.

yth Nuber Two:Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.

yth Nuber Three:Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 iles per hour(ph).
Truth:When two cars traveling at 30 ph hit each other,an unbelted driver would eet the windshield with a force equal to diving head first into the ground fro a height of 10 eters.

As skies are filled with illions of igrating(迁徙) birds,European scientists say the seasonal wonder appears to be strange:The fatter the bird,the better it flies.
The results of their study led to a theory opposite to a central one of aerodynaics(空气动力学),which says that the power needed to fly increases with weight.
For birds,obviously,the cost of flying with heavy fat is uch saller than we used to think.Researchers found that red knot wading birds double their noral body weight of 100 gras before aking their twiceayear nonstop flight between the British Isles and the Russian Arctic.Distance:5,000 kiloeters.
Another study in the agazine Nature easured the advantage of flying in an aerodynaic group which allows birds to save energy by flying soothly and quietly in the lead bird’s air strea.
Flying in groups,their heart rates were 14.5 percent lower than flying alone,according to Henri,a French scientist.The findings help explain how birds coplete difficult igrations.Researchers had thought that thinner,stronger birds would have the best chance to survive.
The first study suggests that building up fat to be burnt as fuel during the igration is worth ore than the energy it takes to carry the additional weight.
In the study,researchers said their tea studied the birds flown at different body weights during 28 siulated(模拟的) flights.They forced a sall aount of special water into the birds’ bodies so that they could easure the aount of energy burnt during the flight.
72.A red knot wading bird of 100 gras will probably weigh ________ before aking its nonstop igrating flight.
A.50 gras B.100 gras
C.150 gras D.200 gras
解析:选D。。根据第三段中的Researchers found that red knot wading birds double their noral body weight of 100 gras before aking their twiceayear nonstop flight between the British Isles and the Russian Arctic.可计算出在进行不停顿的迁徙飞行时,一只red knot wading bird可能重200克。double their noral body weight of 100 gras表示“它们正常体重100克的两倍”,即200克。
73.During their igrating flight,red knot wading birds can save energy by flying ________.
A.separately B.alone
C.in groups D.in pairs
解析:选C。细节理解题。第四段中的Another study in the agazine Nature easured the advantage of flying in an aerodynaic group which allows birds to save energy by flying soothly and quietly in the lead bird’s air strea.说明red knot wading birds以一群鸟一起飞行的方式进行飞行时能够节省能量。
74.A ________ red knot wading bird has a better chance to survive during its igrating flight.
A.stronger B.weaker
C.thinner D.fatter
解析:选D。细节理解题。从第五段中的Researchers had thought that thinner,stronger birds would have the best chance to survive.可以看出,比较肥胖的red knot wading birds在迁徙飞行中更有机会存活。句子的谓语是虚拟语气,说明研究者原先认为越瘦越强壮的red knot wading birds存活的机会越大,而实际情况与此相反。
75.The best title for this passage ay probably be ________.
A.Birds Thin Down For Journey
B.Birds Fatten Up For Journey
C.How Birds Build Up Fat For Journey
D.How Birds Burn Energy For Journey
解析:选B。标题。这篇短报道了对red knot wading birds迁徙飞行的研究,研究表明因为red knot wading birds在迁徙过程中消耗大量能量,所以比较肥胖的red knot wading birds越有在迁徙飞行中存活的机会,因此这篇短的题目应是:Birds Fatten Up For Journey。
