11、 clothes. He was wearing a false beard and had a cavemans axe (斧子)in one hand and a space gun in the other.

12、 The judge raises the starting gun and says,“On your marks, get set. BANG! Who will win this 40-yard race? Will it be the ostrich(鸵鸟)with its long legs? Or will it be the highly trained football player? Could the squirrel(松鼠)rush past them all?Dont worry. Its not a real race. Last week, Scientific A

13、merican magazine asked professor Peter Weyand who would win an imaginary(假想的)race between an ostrich, a football player, a pig, a squirrel, and an elephant. Weyand teaches physiology. He studies the way animals move.According to his knowledge of how animals accelerate , heres how the race might go:T

14、he ostrich runs out of the starting gate neck and neck with the football player in second, the gray squirrel running third, and the pretty pink pig in fourth. Forty yards later, at the finish line, the heavily feathered bird beats the speeding human! The competition isnt terribly close between the o

15、strich and the football player, but in a surprise move, the pig moves fast and manages to beat the squirrel by a nose. Pigs dont look like theyre built for speed, so its third-place finish is a bit of a shock.How does Weyand explain the Animal Kingdoms speedy match?“The easiest way to explain why th

16、e ostrich is fast is that it has long legs, he says. Most of the ostrichs leg muscles are high up on its short thighbones. Its long, light legs allow the bird to go faster and keep speed easily. When running, an ostrichs highest speed is about 35 mph. Elephants and squirrels actually run at the same

17、 pace. But because squirrels can accelerate quickly, the huge elephant would lose. Pigs cant speed up as fast as squirrels, but they can run faster. Pigs that live in the wild can run close to 16 mph, and squirrels can run at about 14 mph.56.The author shows his research by describing a scene of _.A

18、. an animal gameB. a physiology classC. an imaginary race D. a school sports meeting57.The underlined word “accelerate in Paragraph 3 may mean _.A. stand upB. catch upC. grow upD. speed up58.According to Weyand, who made people surprised in the race?A. The pig.B. The football player.C. The ostrich.D

19、. The squirrel.59.From what Weyand explained, we can infer _.A. humans cant run as fast as animalsB. the ostrich is built for speedC. the squirrel can succeed in long racesD. the elephant is faster than the pig B.Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the f
