Scientists wanted to find out if there ' s more to the lightning bugblinkiisgsgjowtu（e閃一閃的亮光）than finding a mate. Someexperts had assumed it was a glaring signal t

35、o predators （捕食者）, like bats, that fireflies taste bad.To test out whether the glow acted like that, researchers at Boise State University in Idaho put bats and fireflies in front of high- speed cameras. They published their results in Wednesday s journal ScienceAdvances.The painstaking experiment r

36、equired researchers to introduce western bats, which had never seen lightning bugs before, to the insects. Later, they hand-painted firefly bellies black, turning off their night lights but avoiding the holes the insects breathe through. When the bats first saw the unfamiliar lit-up fireflies, they

37、acted excitedly and ate a lot of the bugs, only to get a bad taste in their mouths.“ They sspit and generally hate their caretakers for giving them such a rude meal,” s,aaid study author JBoise State biology professor and author of the study. After a few tries, the bats then avoided the glowing fire

38、flies. Despite the popular misconception, bats aren t blind, a study author noted.Once the fireflies essentially taught bats that they taste bad, Barber and his colleagues introduced the darkened fireflies. About 40 percent of the painted ones were eaten, while none of the normal fireflies were eate

39、n. Researchers also think the way lightning bugs fly signals what they are. To test that they put fireflies on fishing lines and the bats went after them, despite already knowing that fireflies don t tamake sense and are valuable, said Nick Dowdy, a Purdue University researcher in Indiana, who was n

40、ot involved in the study.Scientists already knew that fireflies have distinctive flash patterns that tell others who they are and where they are. And some females prefer males that flash at higher rates, according to study co-author Marc Branham of University of Florida. Barber noted that even in th

41、eir larval ( 幼蟲 ) stage, the bugs glow and don t get eaten. So he theorized that when it comes to evolution, fireflies特點(diǎn) ) may h avgelodweivneglotpraeidt (first as protection from predators and later became a mating signal.So, Barber said, “ Bats may have invented fireflies.”58. The purpose of the r

44、You have probably read about robots replacing human labor as automation takes root in one industry after another. But a new report suggests humans are not the only ones who might lose their jobs.In New Zealand, farmers are using drones （無人機(jī)）to herd （放牧）and monitor livestock （牲畜）， assuming a job that

45、 highly intelligent dogs have held for more than a century. The robots have appropriated one of the animal ' s effective tools: barking, Radio New Zealand reports. The DJI Mavic Enterprise, a $3,500 drone favored by farmers, has a feature that lets the machine record sounds and play them over a

46、loud speaker, giving the machine the ability to imitate its canine counterparts.Corey Lambeth, a shepherd on a sheep and beef farm, told RNZ the machines are surprisingly effective."That ' s the one thing I' ve noticed when you' re moving cows and calves: the old cows stand up to th

47、e cbut with the drones, they' ve never done that." he said. That means the drones move livestock faster, wilstress, than the dogs do.Farmers told RNZ the drones come in handy for more than just herding cows and sheep. The robots allow farmers to monitor their land from afar, monitoring wate

48、r and feed levels and checking on livestock health without disturbing the animals.Jason Rentoul told RNZ last spring that a two-hour herding job that used to require two people and two teams of dogs could be accomplished in 45 minutes using a single drone." Being a hilly farm wherestuff is done

49、 on foot, the drones really saved a lot of man hours,does theeiigher bits thaThe droneyou can ' t see （from the ground）. Before using drones, you would （otherwise） have to walk half an hour to go and have a look and then say,“ Oh, there are no sheep here. ”Farmers all over the world are using dr

50、ones. In South Africa, they monitor crop health from above, which boosts harvests, according to CNN. In California, winemakers use drones equipped with sensors to grow healthier grapes, according to MIT Technology Review. Because drones fly closer to the ground, they are ableto provide high-resoluti

51、on images that are less expensive than hiring someone to fly over a field in a manned aircraft, the publication reported.For now, farmers in New Zealand say, some dogs are already learning to work alongside drones, identifying the machines as more co-worker than enemy. Besides, there is still a need

52、 for herding dogs, primarily because they have a longer life span than drones, can work in bad weather and do not require an electrical socket （插座 ） every few hours to recharge.61. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably refers to“ ”.A. farmers orderB. dogs barkingC. the call of sheepD. the soun

53、d of loud speakers62. What s the advantage of drones according to the farmers?A. They can be purchased at a low price.B. They put less stress on livestock.C. They can do more than one task efficiently.D. They help them monitor weather conditions.63. What does Paragraph 6 mainly talk about?A. The sec

54、ret to harvesting healthier grapes.B. The application of drones in global agriculture.C. How drones provide less expensive but clearer images.D. Why manned aircraft are losing appeal for64. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A. drones function normally in extreme weatherB. farmers are

55、troubled by where to charge dronesC the herding dogs show no enthusiasm to dronesD. drones cannot replace dogs entirely at the momentDThe outstanding biography from the same author who brought us Steve Jobs and Einstein portrays the life of the complicated Renaissance （文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期的 ）artist with details.

56、We come to see da Vinci as not only an inventor of musical instruments and early flying machines, but also a notebook keeper and vegetarian （素食者），who had trouble finishing many of the projects and paintings he started.Yet what is most thrilling is getting to know da Vinci the scientist. Isaacson exp

57、lains how loving science and applying the scientific method to observing the world was really what made da Vinci a great artist and, Isaacson argues, a genius.Da Vinci was fascinated with observing and understanding phenomena in nature, from the proportions of the human body to how the muscles of the lips moved. He wanted to know about everything around him, in minute detail, Isaacson writes. He wondered about questionsover thi e“agesofpeopn® longerpuzzle about“forinstance, how the tongue of a woodpecker works.To learn about the world, da Vinci combined h
