C.A science re
24、port.D.An announcement. CIn ancient times, our ancestors relied on stars to guide them on a clear night. Today, we have navigational systems to help us find our way, with the latest being the Beidou Navigation(导航) Satellite System (BDS). The BDS is entirely built by Chinese engineers. With the launc
25、h of the last satellite from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on June 23, the global network of 59 satellites has been completed. On July 31, Beidou started providing full-scale global services. Its difficult to imagine the great impact those satellites, orbiting (围绕运转) the Earth, have on our dai
26、ly lives.When you unlock one of Hellobikes bicycles, you are using the BDS. The popular bike-sharing company came out with two new bike models this year that are equipped with the positioning service. “The intelligent lock on each bike receives Beidou satellite signals and sends positioning informat
27、ion to the data center, which will help collect big data on the bikes and estimate users riding demands in advance according to the data,” Chu Yiqun, a manager of Hellobike told Xinhua News Agency. Users can also find shared bikes more accurately thanks to Beidous global positioning accuracy of 2.34
28、 meters.However, the BDS doesnt just work one way. As the countrys largest space-based system and one of four global navigation networks, along with the United StatesGPS, Russias GLONASS and the European Unions Galileo, Beidou adopts a unique two-way communication system, including its ability to re
29、ceive messages sent by people from areas with poor communication signals. Obviously, this unique function isnt designed for users to chat online. Instead, it plays a role when disasters occur and communications are blocked.After the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, all ground-based communication facilit
30、ies (设施) were interrupted. Though the first generation of Beidou could only send 120 characters in a single message at that time, communication between affected areas and rescue centers was successful. Now, Beidou;s messaging capacity (能力) has been increased to 1,200 Chinese characters in a single m
31、essage. It is widely used in disaster alarms, automatic identification (识别) and information release.As Sun Jiadong, former chief designer of the BDS said:“The application of Beidou is only limited by imagination.” 28. What can we learn about the BDS from the article?A. It was co-developed by Chinese
32、 and American engineers.B. It works better when the weather is good.C. Its last satellite was launched on July 31. D. Its able to provide global coverage for navigation.29. Why does the author mention Hellobike in Paragraph 3?A. To emphasize the high positioning accuracy of the BDS.B. To show how th
33、e BDS makes peoples daily lives easier. C. To present the benefits and limitations of the BDS.D. To explain how the BDS works. 30. What is the function of Beidous two-way communication system?A. To help people when signals are weak. B. To make communication more fun.C. To allow users to chat online
34、more freely.D. To prevent disasters from happening. 31. What does Sun Jiadong imply in the last paragraph?A. Beidou may be more helpful than we know.B. Beidou inspires users imagination.C. Beidou needs to be further perfected.D. Beidou is limited in application. DBeing able to land safely is a criti
35、cally important skill for all flying animals. Whereas terrestrial animals face no particular challenge when they need to stop running or crawling(爬), flying animals move at much higher speeds, and they must be careful about how they land. Hitting the ground, or even water, at full flight speed would
36、 be quite dangerous. Before touching down, they must decrease their speed in order to land safely. Both bats and birds have mastered the skill of landing, but these two types of flyers go about it quite differently.In the past it was believed that, in terms of flying mechanics, there was little diff
37、erence between bats and birds. This belief was based only on assumption, however, because for years nobody had actually studied in detail how bats move their wings. In recent years, though, researchers have discovered a number of interesting facts about bat flight. Bats are built differently from bi
38、rds, and their wings incorporate（结合） both their front and hind limbs （后肢）. This makes their limbs working together more difficult for bats and, as a result, they are not very good at flying over longer distances. However, a bat can quickly change its direction of flight or completely reverse it, som
39、ething a bird cannot easily do. Another interesting characteristic of bat flight is the way in which bats landupside down! Unlike birds, which touch down on the ground or on tree branches, bats can be observed flying around and then suddenly hanging upside down from an object overhead. How do they d
40、o it? A group of researchers recently used video cameras to film bats landing on nets suspended from the ceiling of their laboratory and studied the recordings in slow motion. They painted spots on the bats wings to see in detail what happens to the wings in flight and during touchdown. It turns out
41、 that the bats flew in a straight line up to the net and then quickly flipped over and attached themselves to it upside down. One disadvantage to this landing routine is that the bats often slam into their landing spot with some force, which probably causes pain. However, not all bats hit their land
42、ing spots with the same speed and force; these will vary depending on the area where a bat species makes its home. For example, a cave bat, which regularly rests on a hard stone ceiling, is more careful about its landing preparation than a bat more accustomed to landing in leafy treetops. 32.The und

Bats can turn in the air more quickly.D. Bats can slam into their landing spot without pain.35. What is the main topic of the passage
45、?A. Where bats choose to land.B. Why scientists have difficulty observing bats.C. What differences bats and birds have in the eating habits.D.
