28、 humans who are suffering.And just because our society prefers to idolize theentertainment industry instead of science,she gets paid much less than she deserves.But if it would benefit the world to invest all of our time and attention towardscientists,why dont we make scientists our new“celebrities”

29、?First of all,we like being entertained.We love pretty faces and easy-to-digestinformation.Its easier to care about simple stuff rather than scientific,complicated things.Another reason is that most scientists dont like being in the spotlight.Theyre mostlyreserved and like to have privacy.Theyre bus

30、y people,which explains why they haventattracted the media the same way that performers have.Also,people have free will and theright to be interested in whatever they want to be.However,studies have shown that young people are more interested in a scientificcareer as a result of COVID-19.The pandemi

35、owever,strike their beaks into trees thousands of times a day and are perfectlyfine.We used to think that a woodpeckers skull worked as a kind of safety helmet whichabsorbed the shocks.Anew study by Sam Van Wassenbergh,a researcher at the UniversityofAntwerp in Belgium,proved that this“common sense”

36、was in fact false.Van Wassenbergh and his colleagues argued that,if a woodpeckers head absorbed theforce,it would not be able to strike the tree with enough force.“If the beak absorbed much of its own impact,the unfortunate bird would have topound even harder,”they said in their paper.In other words

37、,if the theory were true,thewoodpecker would have to peck even harder to compensate for both the shock-absorbingqualities of the sponge-like bone inside its skull as well as the density of the wood.The scientists recorded four different kinds of woodpeckers in zoos as they werepecking.The team used

38、data from their high-speed recordings to build digital models of thewoodpeckers.Van Wassenbergh described the woodpeckersmotion as“a hammer hittingwood”since their movement appeared rigid and focused.The research suggested that woodpeckers dont have any shock-absorbing device orthe ability to reduce

39、 the amount of force.Although they are without“helmets”,the teamclaimed that the woodpeckerstiny size and weight protect them.Awoodpeckers brain is about 700 times smaller than that of a human.“Smalleranimals can withstand higher decelerations(减速).Think about a fly that hits a windowand then just fl

40、ies back again,”Van Wassenbergh said.“So that is why even the hardest hitswe observed are not expected to cause any concussion.”32What was the“common sense”about woodpeckers?A.They can withstand slight concussions.BTheir heads are able to reduce the force.CTheir beaks can spread the shocks they prod

41、uce.DTheir bodies are soft enough to absorb the force.33Which can replace the underlined words“compensate for”in paragraph 4?ARemove.BImprove.CGet rid ofDMake up for.34What does Van Wassenberghs experiment prove?学科网（北京）股份有限公司高三英语第 7 页共 12 页AThe shock absorber theory is mostly correct.BHow woodpecker

43、）根据短文，从后面的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。其中两项为多余选项。In many countries of the world people do what is called house-sitting.It means that ifthe owners of a house are going away,they want someone to come into their home andlook after the house and maybe pets while they are away.In Australia,a great many people travel

44、.After people retire,they might buy a van(面包车)and travel all over the country.36So if people want to travel or go away for some reason,they might want someone intheir home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy.House-sitters might have to care forpets.Also,quite a few people have swimming pools in

45、 their back yard and they needcleaning.37I feel it is a great way of seeing the country,because I go and stay in anew city,get to meet new people,and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.38There are plenty of websites where you can find a lot of advertisements bypeople who want to travel,and by
