17、. common . Reading comprehension15% （A） According to popular folklore, many animals are smarter than they appear. Dogs bark before earthquakes; cattle predict rainfall by sitting on the ground. But cattle may have another hidden talent in telling which way is north. Small animals such as mole rats l
18、iving underground are known for the use of magnetism to navigate. Dr. Begall and her colleagues wanted to know whether larger mammals also have the ability to perceive magnetic fields. They investigated this possibility by studying images of thousands of cattle captured on Google Earth, a website th

Grazing animals are known to orient themselves in a way that minimizes wind chill from the north and maximizes the warmth of the sun when they are cold. The researchers therefore had to study a lot of cows grazing
20、in lots of different places at different times of day, in order to average out these factors and see whether cattle could act like compass needles. The researchers concluded that cattle do generally orient themselves in a north-south direction. This north-south preference has also been noted in flie
21、s, termites and honeybees. But unfortunately, even the high resolution of Google Earth is not powerful enough to tell which end of the cow is its head, and which its tail. The researchers were therefore unable to answer their research questions of whether cattle prefer to look north or south, and wh

From space, astronauts study the geography, pollution, and weather patterns on Earth. They take many photographs to record their observation
26、s. Also, astronauts conduct experiments on the shuttle to learn how space conditions, such as microgravity, affect humans, animals, plants, and insects. Besides working, regular exercise is essential to keep the astronauts healthy in microgravity. Astronauts sometimes go outside the shuttle to work.
27、 They are protected by a space suit from the radiation of the sun. Meanwhile, the space suit provides necessary oxygen supply and keeps the astronauts from feeling the extreme heat or cold outside the shuttle. When the mission is over, the crew members get ready to return to Earth. The shuttle does
28、not use its engines for a landing. It glides through the atmosphere. When the shuttle touches the land, a drag parachute opens to steady the aircraft, get the speed right, and help the brakes on the landing-gear wheels to bring it to a complete stop. 50.
