You’re on the school bus. But as soon as you turn the corner, you find yourself at the end of a very long queue. It’s another traffic jam! It is stop-start for the rest of your journey. Meanwhile, at the same time in Antarctica(南极洲), snow covers the land. A group of emperor penguins crowd together to keep warm, using stop-and-go movements to protect themselves from the winds. Can you see the connection?
Emperor penguins move like cars in traffic jams to keep warm, that’s according to new research by the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marina Research in Germany. A penguin only needs to move 2cm in any direction for its neighbor to do the same thing. These movements then flow(流动) through the whole group of penguins like a “traveling wave”.
These waves also help smaller crowds join bigger groups, keeping more and more of their friends warm. A single Antarctic “traffic jam” has thousands of penguins. Interestingly, the technology used for studying road traffic jams was used to study the penguins. This included studying time-lapse(延时) videos. Scientists also discovered that unlike on the road, these waves can be made by any penguin and in any direction.
With temperatures usually dropping below –50℃, and winds reaching speeds of up to 200km/h, these traveling waves are very important for penguins to keep warm.
These penguins can also teach us a lesson. In big groups, they learn to be orderly and patient, and to never crash into each other. These are skills we should all learn from them when we are on the road!

A. keep warm B. play games C. learn from each other D. cross the road

D. is made by just one or two penguins
4.If a penguin is in a group, it _____.
A. needs to move orderly B. can move as fast as it likes
C. will not leave others behind D. should move as slowly as it can
5.The last paragraph wants to tell us that _____.
A. penguins won’t move together if it is not very cold
B. traffic jams happen probably because people are impatient
C. penguins learn their skills from human beings
D. penguins are likely to crash into each other in a group

Recently, a solar-powered (太阳能动力的) plane took to the sky for the first time. It passed an important test on the way to travel around the world.
The plane took off from an airport in Switzerland. It slowly rose above the fields and into the sky.
“There has never been an airplane of that kind that could fly — never an airplane so big, so light, using so little energy,” said Bertrand Piccard, a leader of the project.
During the 90-minute flight(飞行), the plane did several turns. It climbed nearly 1.6km above the countryside.
Engineers plan to test a night flight before July. Then they will use the results of the tests to build a second plane. They plan to travel around the world in that plane in 2012.
“We want to fly it day and night with no fuel (燃料),” Piccard said.
Piccard and pilot(飞行员) Andre Borschberg will take the plane around the world. They will make a few stops to change places and rest after a long time in the air — and to show off their airplane.
The plane will fly at 70 km per hour on average(平均). That is faster than a bike and slower than a car. The pilots will keep the plane in the air for up to five days at a time.
1.The passage is probably taken from _____________.
A. a postcard B. a newspaper C. a comic book D. an advertisement
2.The solar-powered plane ________________.
A. is big and heavy B. uses much energy
C. passed the first testD. will have a night flight after July
3.How long will it take the solar-powered plane to travel 140 km?
A. About a day and a night. B. About 5 days.
C. About 2 hours. D. About 90 minutes.
4.Which of the following is NOT mentioned(提到)in the passage?
A. During the 90-minute flight, the solar-powered plane reached a height of 1.6km.
B. The solar-powered plane is slower than a car and faster than a bike.
C. Maybe the solar-powered plane will fly with no fuel.
D. It took a long time to build the solar-powered plane.
5.The passage mainly talks about ___________________.
A. the solar-powered plane
B. the speed of the solar-powered plane
C. how to make the solar-powered plane
D. the world travel of the solar-powered plane
