10、rCdelayed Dcheap.阅读理解(2015江苏五市联考)Anyone watching the autumn sky knows that migrating birds fly in a V formation, but scientists have long debated why. A new study finds that these bigwinged birds carefully position their wingtips and flap (拍动) at the same rate, probably to catch the upward movement
11、of air and save energy during flight.There are two reasons birds might fly in a V formation: It may make flight easier, or theyre simply following the leader. Squadrons (中队) of planes can save fuel by flying in a V formation, and many scientists suspect that migrating birds do the same. Models that
12、treated flapping birds like fixedwing airplanes show that they probably save energy by drafting off each other, but currents created by airplanes are far more stable than those coming off of birds.Just as aerodynamic (气动力) calculations would predict, the birds positioned themselves to fly just behin
13、d and to the side of the bird in front, timing their wing flaps to catch the uplifting eddies (涡流). When a bird flew directly behind another, the timing of the flapping reversed (相反) so that it could minimize the effects of the downdraft coming off the back of the birds body.“We didnt think this was
14、 possible，” Usherwood says, considering that the difficult achievement requires careful flight and incredible awareness of ones neighbors. “Perhaps these big V formation birds can be thought of quite like an airplane with wings that go up and down.”The findings likely apply to other longwinged birds
15、, such as pelicans and geese, Usherwood says. Smaller birds create more complex wakes (尾波) that would make drafting too difficult.The researchers did not attempt to calculate the birds energy savings because the necessary physiological measurements would be too invasive for an endangered species. Pr
16、evious studies show that birds can use 20% to 30% less energy while flying in a V.Scientists do not know how the birds find that aerodynamic sweet spot, but they suspect that the animals line themselves up either by sight or by sensing air currents through their feathers. In future studies, the rese
17、archers will switch to more common birds, such as pigeons or geese. They plan to investigate how the animals decide who sets the course and the pace, and whether a mistake made by the leader can ripple through the rest of the flock to cause traffic jams.1The author takes squadrons of planes for exam

21、ation is a state of deep sleep. Hibernation differs from normal sleep in various ways. Hibernating animals take a long time to wake up from their sleep. Turning or kicking their bodies does not seem to wake them up. Even after waking up from hibernation, these animals take some time to restart their
22、 normal activities. During hibernation, the heart rate slows down and some of the nonvital organs become entirely inactive. This is a state in which the body uses very little energy.Winter is the time when food is less and weather is rough. Animals have to spend a lot of energy finding food. Even if
23、 they succeed in finding anything, it is often not enough to make up for the loss of energy. Besides, the cold weather may often become a cause of death. As a result of all these, animals have to reduce their food demand by reducing energy requirements. This is achieved by hibernating throughout the
24、 winter.Before the onset of winter, when there is plenty of food, animals eat overmuch and store much of the food in the form of fat. As winter arrives, they return to their home where they spend the rest of winter hibernating. As animals hibernate, their body temperature starts dropping due to lack
25、 of activity and metabolism (新陈代谢). At one point, it is only a few degrees higher than the surrounding temperature. Whatever energy the body needs to perform certain tasks is got from the fat storage. Due to lack of activity, the fat burning process is slow and steady. The energy from fat is enough
26、to keep the animal alive for the rest of the winter.Hibernation differs for every species. For example, some animals like black bears may sleep for the whole winter without waking up, while animals like squirrels may wake up every 4 days to eat some food, pass waste matter from the body, and then go
27、 back to sleep. Hibernation in domestic animals may differ from that in the wild ones. As there is no food shortage for domestic animals, domestic animals hibernate as a result of their natural instinct but with more active periods in between.Hibernation(1)_A state of deep sleep(2)_from normal sleep
