2、ce between life and death for fast moving creatures，” commented the lead author Kevin Healy from Trinity College Dublin. The study was done with a variety of animals using a phenomenon based on the maximum speed of flashes of light an individual can see before the light source is seen as constant.

3、 Dogs, for example, have eyes with a refresh rate higher than humans. One example of this phenomenon at work, the authors say, is the housefly and its ability to avoid being hit. The research shows flies observe motion in a shorter time than our own eyes can achieve, which allows them to avoid bein

4、g hit.

5、ickly, Thus, this work highlights the impressive abilities of even the smallest animal brains.

6、to stop periodically to reevaluate its preys(獵物) position.

8、, an animals ability to perceive(感知) time is linked to their pace of life.”為本文的主題句；結合下文內容可知，本文主要介紹了一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)：動物感知時間的能力和它們的生活節(jié)奏有關，故B項正確。 2. What does Kevin Healys comment mean in Para. 2? A．The ability of animals to perceive time depends on their high moving speed. B．The survival of fast moving an

9、imals relies on their ability to perceive time. C．Animals with quicker pace of life have better perception of time. D．Animals with poor ability of time perception have a shorter life. 答案與解析：B考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段Kevin Healy所說的話“Our results lend support to the importance of time perception in animals

10、 where the ability to perceive time in a very short time may be the difference between life and death for fast moving creatures.”可知，Kevin Healy認為，對于快速移動的動物來說在短時間內感知時間的能力決定著它們的生死；據(jù)此可知，該句是說快速移動的動物的生存依賴于它們對時間的感知能力，故B項正確。 3．Why can houseflies avoid being hit? A．They can think very deeply before they a

11、ct. B．They can fly much faster than their eyes can keep up. C．They can process information as quickly as they receive it. D．They can send information to the brain more quickly than to their eyes. 答案與解析：C　考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段的“The research shows flies observe motion in a shorter time than our own eyes

12、 can achieve, which allows them to avoid being hit.”可知，家蠅能比我們在更短的時間內感知到物體的運動，這是它們得以避免被拍死的原因，故C項正確。 4．What will a tiger beetle have to do to catch a moving prey? A．Try to run as fast as it can. B．Prevent itself from becoming blind. C．Slow down to gain its time perception. D．Stop occasionally to

13、spot the prey again. 答案與解析：D　考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第六段“In comparison, the tiger beetle(虎甲蟲) runs faster than its eyes can keep up, basically becoming blind, which requires it to stop periodically to reevaluate its preys(獵物) position.”可知，虎甲蟲雖然奔跑的速度快，但是視力跟不上奔跑的速度，需要偶爾停下來重新確定獵物的位置，故D項正確。 B Travel-worthy Destinat
