Question

【題目】 You’re on the school bus. But as soon as you turn a corner, you '11 find yourself at the end of a very long queue. It's another traffic jam! Meanwhile, in Antarctica(南極洲), snow covers the land. A group of emperor penguins crowd together to keep warm, using stop-and-go movements to protect themselves from the winds. Can you see the connection?

Emperor penguins move like cars in traffic jams to keep warm, according to a new research. A penguin only needs to move 2cm in any direction for its neighbor to do the same thing. These movements then flow(涌動) through the whole group of penguins like a "traveling wave".

These waves also help the smaller crowds join bigger groups, keeping more and more of their friends warm. A single Antarctic "traffic jam" has thousands of penguins. Interestingly, the technology once used for studying road traffic jams was used to study the penguins. It included studying time-lapse(延時) videos. Scientists also discovered that unlike on the road, these waves can be made by any penguin and in any direction.

With temperatures usually dropping 50 degrees below zero and winds reaching speeds of up to 200km/h, these traveling waves are very important for penguins to keep warm.

These penguins can also teach us a lesson. In a big group, they learn to be orderly and patient, and never to crash into each other. These are skills that we should all learn from them when we are on the road!

【3】From the passage, we learn that a "traveling wave" is .

A.caused by a traffic jam on the road

B.caused by the strong winds in Antarctica

C.formed by the movement of penguins

【4】If a penguin is in a group, it .

A.needs to move orderlyB.can move as fast as it likesC.will not leave others behind

【5】The last paragraph wants to tell us that .

A.penguins won't move together if they are not very cold

B.traffic jams happen probably because people are patient

C.we human beings should learn from penguins

【5】C

【解析】

本文根據(jù)一項新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，帝企鵝像交通堵塞中的汽車一樣移動來保暖。通過企鵝告訴我們在一個大的群體中，要學(xué)會有序和耐心，永遠(yuǎn)不要撞到對方。這些都是我們在旅途中應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)的技能！

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Emperor penguins move like cars in traffic jams to keep warm, according to a new research.”可知，帝企鵝聚在一起是為了取暖。故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“Emperor penguins move like cars in traffic jams to keep warm, according to a new research. A penguin only needs to move 2cm in any direction for its neighbor to do the same thing.”可知，交通擁堵跟企鵝移動相似，企鵝每次移動2厘米，所以路上堵車時，汽車是開不快的。故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“A penguin only needs to move 2cm in any direction for its neighbor to do the same thing. These movements then flow(涌動) through the whole group of penguins like a ‘traveling wave’.”可知，企鵝只需要向任何方向移動2厘米，它的鄰居就會做同樣的事情，然后，這些運動像“行波”一樣在整個企鵝群中流動。所以traveling wave由企鵝的運動形成的。故選C。

【4】推理判斷題。A：需要有序移動；B：能想多快就多快；C：不會丟下別人。根據(jù)最后一段中“These penguins can also teach us a lesson. In a big group, they learn to be orderly and patient, and never to crash into each other.”可知，企鵝在隊伍中時要有序和耐心，不要互相撞擊。故選A。

【5】段落大意題。A：如果不是很冷，企鵝就不會一起行動；B：交通堵塞的發(fā)生可能是因為人們有耐心；C：我們?nèi)祟悜?yīng)該向企鵝學(xué)習(xí)。根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容可知，本段告訴我們在大團(tuán)體，要向企鵝一樣學(xué)會有序和耐心，不要互相撞擊。這些技能我們在路上時都可以學(xué)習(xí)。故選C。
