Many bats live a very long time for an animal their size.European researchers are studying bats to understand why they live so long. They hope to make discoveries to fight the aging process (过程) in human beings.Last week, the group of scientists said they had found important biological qualities in some bat species. The group studied bat chromosomes (染 色 体), a line of genes found in the nucleus(核) of cells. The scientists were most interested in parts connected to the ends of the chromosomes. They are called telomeres(端 粒). Telomeres protect the ends of chromosomes, which shorten each time a cell divides. Scientists believe this shortening process causes cells to break down. .A report on bats was published this month in the journal Science Advances.Among the leaders of the study was Emma Teeling, a biologist with University College Dublin in Ireland. Teeling said studying long-living mammals that have developed ways to fight aging “is another way to prove the molecular(分 子) basis of extended health length.” She added that studying bats made scientists able to learn more about the processes “that drive healthy aging.”The European researchers studied 493 bats from four bat species. The group used information that had been gathered over more than 60 years. Of these animals, the greater mouse-eared bat generally lived the longest, an average of 37 years.The scientists said this and a related species, which are grouped together under the name Myotis, had telomeres that did not shorten with age. Another Myotis bat holds the record for oldest age, reaching 41 years.The scientists findings suggest that these bats cells have the ability to keep and repair their telomeres. This, they said, helps guard against the aging process. Based on its body size, a bat like the greater mouse-eared bat would be expected to live four years. But, these mammals have been found to live nearly 10 times longer than that.The scientists found that Eighteen of these are bats. The only exception is an unusual African rodent, the naked mole rat.（1）Which sentence can be put at the end of Paragraph 3? A . This makes scientists able to study bats.B . Thats why bats can fly a great distance.C . They say this is what causes aging.D . They discover the cells connected to humans.（2）Why do some species of bats live a very long time? A . Because they have a line of long-living genes out of the cells.B . Because their cells have the ability to keep and repair their telomeres.C . Because they have another ability to live longer without any food or water.D . Because telomeres protect the ends of chromosomes to stop cells dividing.（3）The underlined word “that” refers to . A . four yearsB . body sizeC . the aging processD . the ability to repair（4）Whats the best title of the passage? A . Differences Between Long-Living AnimalsB . A Science Report on ChromosomesC . Do Bats Hold the Secret to Long Life?D . Are Humans and Bats Similar in Protecting Themselves?13. （6分）阅读理解Do you know what the hump(驼峰) of a camel is used for? If you answered to store water, guess again. In fact, a camels hump is a place for storing fat.Most animals, including humans, store fat throughout their bodies, under their skin. But camels store their fat in one place, their hump. A hump can weigh as much as 80 pounds. Why do camels keep their fat this way? The answer is most likely because of their environment. Camels can go up to two weeks without eating because they have this fat to live off.Also camels are great at handling(处理，应付) changes in body temperature. Their humps can help the camels keep cooler. Their coats also help them adapt(适应) to the heat. While the coat is thick, it reflects(反射)the sunlight and protects the camel from the heat that rises off the desert sand.There are two kinds of camels, those with one hump and those with two humps. Camels with one hump are called Dromedary or Arabian camels. They live in the dry deserts in West Asia. Camels with two humps are called Bactrian camels. They live in Central and East Asia.Besides their humps, camels have a lot of interesting facts. They can live between 4050 years. They can carry about 400 pounds and run up to 40 miles per hour. Its true that camels can go long time without drinking water, and they can drink about 26 gallons of water at a time. Camels can also close their nostrils(鼻孔). So whether a camel has one hump or two, it is one amazing animal that is very well adapted to its environment.（1）What is a camels hump used for? A . Storing water.B . Storing fat.C . Carrying food.D . Carrying riders.（2）From the passage we can learn that _. A . camels humps are very interestingB . camels humps can make them amazingC . a camels hump can weigh as much as 80 poundsD . camels with two humps are called Dromedary camels（3）Which is the best title of the passage? A . Interesting humpsB . One hump or Two?C . Great animalsD . Two kinds of camels14. （10分） While you are in trouble, what are you going to do? What? Cry? Or escape? Those are all the wrong way!
