16、ng had it in their mind to make a robot lizard (蜥蜴). They began with finding out why a lizard can hang on a wall. They noticed the lizards toes were unique: they have suckers (吸盘), which enable it to hang on walls. They, therefore, made a robot with suckers on its hands and feet.The robot could hang
17、 on the wall but fell off when climbing. So, they went on researching. 6 years ago, scientists discovered that suckers only were not enough. It is the bristles (刚毛) on each foot that adds friction (摩擦) and static adsorption (静电吸附力) that makes a lizard move on the smooth wall easily without falling d
18、own. Then scientists made great efforts to fix thick bristles to the robots hands and feet. However, the effect was not satisfactory. The robot still couldnt attach itself firmly to the wall. Scientists got puzzled: how on earth can the lizard climb on an extremely smooth wall or even on a ceiling w
19、ithout dropping off?An accidental finding inspired them. One day a scientist happened to see a cat attack a lizard and bite off its tail. The lizard broke away from the cats teeth and threw itself on a wall to escape, only to fall off heavily on the ground. The scientist wondered: is it the tail tha
20、t plays an important role in its travelling on the wall? He caught some lizards for an experiment. The result proved his assumption: a tailless lizard has no trouble walking on an ordinary wall but cant on a smooth one. A further study showed the lizards tail can prevent it falling over backward and
21、, whats more, that the tail acts as an additional leg while one of the lizards legs leaves the wall, which is always the case while it is walking on the wall. Thus, Tailbot, a super tailed robot, is born. 25. What part(s) would be a must if scientists just wanted a robot which can hang on the wall?
22、A. Suckers. B. Suckers and bristles. C. Suckers, bristles and a tail.D. Hands, feet, bristles and a tail.26. The bristles function as something _. A. to protect the lizards toes from injury B. to produce friction and static adsorption C. to prevent a lizard falling over backward D. to help a lizard
23、move about without falling27. The biggest importance of a lizards tail lies in _. A. serving as another leg B. helping support the body C. sticking to the wall D. stopping slipping 28. What does the underlined part in the fifth paragraph refer to? A. A lizard often falls over backward while it trave
24、ls on the wall.B. A lizard often has three legs on the wall while walking on the wall. C. A lizards tail will replace one of its legs while it moves on the wall.D. A lizards tail often stops it fall over backward while moving on the wall.COne new discovery after another has been over and over again
25、plunging a hard-to-accept idea into scientists minds: there might have been an even more advanced super prehistoric civilization in the remote past. Discovery One: Kept in Topkapi Palace, Istanbul, Turkey is a unique ancient map, which was first discovered in the 18th century. On the map, only the M
26、editerranean area is accurately mapped while other places, such as America and Africa, are well out of shape. When studying in a deeper way, however, the scientists were amazed at finding the ancient map was actually a birds-eye map. Compared with the pictures of the earth taken by the Apollo 8 spac
27、ecraft, the Turkey map is exactly the repeat of them and the deformable boundaries of America and Africa agree well with those of the Apollo 8s pictures. To scientists astonishment, the map even describes the complex landforms of the Antarctic covered with several-kilometer- thick ice, which is as l
28、ike as two peas with the map made by the 1952 Antarctica expedition with the help of the sonic echo sounder. But the old map was made in the remote ancient times!Discovery Two: On the Lake Titicaca Plateau of South America lies the ruin of an ancient city, at the centre of which stands a huge red sa
29、ndstone statue. Printed on it is a complete star map with hundreds of signs. Through years of study, scientists finally decoded the map and signs. This is a star map describing the starry sky 27,000 years ago. The signs record the extremely deep astronomic knowledge, which is even beyond the modern
30、peoples understanding.Discovery Three: In 1921, people happened to find an ancient Nied mans skull in Zambia, Africa. In the right of the skull there is an edge-smooth round hole, which scientists have decided only a bullet can make. But the ancient Nied people lived about 70,000 years ago, when man
