Ⅴ.阅读理解
All you moths out there，listen carefully.A scientist named Holger Goerlitz has some bad news.You probably already know that bats want to eat you. But Goerlitz and his colleagues have found that the Western barbastelle bat of Europe whispers so quietly that you'll never hear it coming.So look out，and good luck.
Perhaps there's nothing scarier to a moth than a quiet bat.
Bats are basically blind. Since they can't rely on their eyes to hunt for food，these flying mammals use sounds. Bats let out a highpitched noise in the night，and the sounds wave bounce off nearby objects—such as delicious moths. Bats hear this echo，judge where it comes from，and then move in for the kill. This technique is called echolocation.
The problem with most bats is that they're loud. Studies have found that when some bats make their echolocation sounds in the night，they're louder than rock concerts and sometimes as loud as jet engines. As a result，some moths can hear some of these sounds from nearly 100 feet away—plenty of warning. These sounds are “high notes”—so high that human beings，with our limited ears，cannot hear them. “That's quite lucky for us，” Goerlitz said.
In some flying insects，like moths，simple ears evolved—giving those creatures the ability to hear noises in the night and avoid becoming a bat's dinner.
Goerlitz's research suggests that bats found a way to get around moths that can hear. The sounds of other bats are ten to a hundred times louder than what the Western barbastelle bat of Europe can send out. Its quieter sounds are like a bat “whisper”．Moths can't hear this highpitched whisper until it's too late to get away.
To study the bats and moths，Goerlitz and his colleagues set up many microphones in an area where bats would pass through in the night and they found the result.
Goerlitz says it makes sense that bats would want to eat moths—though when he says it，he sounds a little batlike himself. “Moths are nice food，” he said，“They are big and fat and have a lot of energy.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。欧洲有一种特殊的蝙蝠，不像一般的蝙蝠发出的高分贝的声音，它们发出的声音很低，这样就给他们捕食蛾子提供了一种优势技能。
1．The first paragraph serves as a(n)________．
A．warning
B．explanation
C．comment
D．complaint
答案 A [推理判断题。结合文章的第一段的第一句话“你们这些蛾子听着”和第一段的最后一句话“小心点，祝你们好运”等，可知这里是警告，故选A。B项是解释；C项是评论；D项是抱怨。]
2．According to the text，echolocation is a technique________.
A．to depend on the eyes to look for food
B．to use a sound coming back to find food
C．to kill moths with sound waves
D．to judge how far things are
答案 B [细节理解题。文章第三段的第二句话反映了蝙蝠利用回声来确定食物的位置，故选B。A项中的eyes错误，应为sounds；C项中的kill错误，不是杀死，而是确定蛾子的位置；D项判断事物的距离。]
3．What did Goerlitz consider lucky for people?
A．People can hear warning sounds of bats.
B．Bats don't want to attack people.
C．We can't hear bats' echolocation sounds.

4．From the last paragraph，we can infer that Goerlitz was________.
A．serious
B．strict
C．dull
D．humorous
答案 D [推理判断题。结合文章最后一段中的he sounds a little batlike himself指他像蝙蝠一样低声说，反映了他的幽默有趣，因为本文主要讨论的就是蝙蝠的静悄悄的技能帮助它们捕食，因此选D。A项严肃认真的；B严格的；C项乏味的。]
