The Yerka, designed by three young Chilean engineering students, is the latest entry in a trend of bikes. They use their saddle seat as a lock. They can also use their handlebar（手柄）as a

16、lock. But the inventors of the Yerka have made an improvement to it. The bikes lower frame opens up into two arms that are then connected to the seat post and locked to a post, so thieves would have to destroy a Yerka to get it unlocked.“Thats why our motto is A bike that gets stolen is no longer a

17、bike. What we have here is truly an unstealable bike,” said Cristobal Cabello, who came up with the design during a college engineering class with childhood friends Andres Roi Eggers and Juan Jose Monsalve. In Chile and elsewhere in Latin America, the spread of cycling lanes, storage racks and bike

18、share programs are encouraging people to change from cars to bikes , which are cheaper and environmentally friendly. Cristobal Galban said a study by his team in 2013 found that the use of bikes has doubled among Chileans in five years. The main problem in Chile and elsewhere are the robberies. The

19、most effective strategy commonly used in London today is to take the bike into the office with the rider. Other strategies involve using a bike that looks so unattractive that nobody will want to steal it. But now the Yerka can help solve the problem. Now , while waiting for the patent（专利）to be appr

20、oved and carrying out more tests, the team plans to raise funds. Theyre also looking for a partner who can invest $300,000 needed to produce 1,000 bikes first that they hope will be sold by mid-2016.24. Which of the following is NOT true about the Yerka in Paragraph 1? A. It looks very attractive B.

21、 It aims at not being stolen C. It leads the new trend of bikes D. It uses its saddle seat as a lock25. According to Cristobal Cabello, it can be inferred that the Yerka A. will be safe if it is fully used B. will be broken if it gets stolen C. will be expensive if it gets repaired D. will not be st

22、olen even if it is unlocked26. From the last paragraph, we can learn that the Yerka . A. doesnt need a lot of money B. cant be bought in the market yet C. will be popular with bike riders D. will be affordable for ordinary people27. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Bikes in Chile can easily

23、get stolen B. Chile is encouraging the use of bikes C. An expensive bike drew the worlds attention D. Three Chileans designed an unstealable bikeCHorses are sensitive to the facial expressions and attention of other horses, including the direction of the eyes and ears. The findings, reported in the

24、Cell Press journal Current Biology on August 4, are a reminder for us humans to look beyond our own limitations and recognize that other species may communicate in ways that we cant, the researchers say. After all, human ears arent mobile.“Our study is the first to examine a potential cue(线索) to att

25、ention that humans do not have the ears,” says Jennifer Wathan of the University of Sussex. “Previous work investigating communication of attention in animals has focused on cues that humans use: body direction, head direction, and eye stare; no one else had gone beyond that. However, we found that

26、in horses their ear position was also an important visual signal that other horses respond to. In fact, horses need to see the detailed facial features of both eyes and ears before they use another horses head direction to guide them.”The new study also challenges the earlier held view that animals

27、with eyes to the sides of their heads cant gather information based on the direction of one another stare.Wathan and the studys senior author Karen McComb took photographs to record cues given by horses when they were paying attention to something. Then Wathan and McComb use these photographs as lif

28、e-sized models for other horses to look at as they chose between two feeding buckets. In each case, the horse in the photo was paying attention to one of the buckets and not the other. In some cases, the researchers also controlled the image to remove information from key facial areas, including the

29、 eyes and the ears. The researchers observations show that horses rely on the head direction of other horses to find food. However, that ability to read each others interest level is disrupted when parts of the face-the eyes and earsare covered up with masks. The ability to correctly judge attention

30、 also varied depending on the identity of the horse pictured, suggesting that individual facial features may be important, the researchers report. 28. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. Horses are the most sensitive animals.B. Researchers should have great creativity.C. People should learn

31、 to make their ears mobile.D. People should strengthen their communication with animals.29. The previous researchers focused on all the following EXCEPT_.A. body direction B. head direction C. ear direction D. eye direction30. Which of the following is WRONG according to the experiment?A. the horses in the photos the researchers used are as large as real horses.B. The researchers recorded horses reaction by means of photographing them.C. Horses facial features may affect horses ability to correctly judge attention.D. The horse pictured in the photo
