36、cal killerfish, seeks refuge in shallow pools of water in crab caves, nut shells or even old beer cans in the tropical mangrove swamps of Belize, the United States and Brazil.When their living place dries up, they group together on the land in hollowed logs(圓木) and breathe air through their skin ins

37、tead of their gills (腮) until they can find water again. The fish, whose scientific name is Rivulus Marmoratus, can grow as large as three inches.The scientific breakthrough came after a trip to Belize."We kicked over a log and the fish just came dropping out," Taylor told Reuters in neigh

38、boring Guatemala by telephone. He said he will publish his study on the fish in The American Naturalist journal early next year.In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can survive for up to 66 days out of water without eating, and their metabolism(新陳代謝) keeps functioning.Some other fish can surv

39、ive briefly out of water.

40、us and remain active, according to Patricia Wright, a biologist at Canada's University of Guelph."These animals live in an environment that is similar to conditions that existed millions of years ago, when animals began making the evolution from water onto land," she said.60. The write

45、of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!For each prediction that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didnt consider how people would want to use the technology. Or if people really ne

46、eded it in their lives or not. Lets look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.Robot HelpersWheres the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And hes probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other Manufacturing environments.Back in the 1950s,

47、 however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most peoples home.So why hasnt happened? Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy.

49、acy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just stepped out of the shower? Probably not it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available doesnt always mean people will want to use it.And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? Its n

50、ot so crazy anymore! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news or perhaps the sky outside your window to see what the future will bring.64The whole passage is mainly about _.Apredictions that have come trueBpredictions th

51、at havent come trueCwhy predictions dont come true easily Dwhat technology will bring about65Which of the following is probably not the authors belief?APredictions neednt consider peoples practical use of technology.BThe future isnt always easy to guess.CNot all past predictions have come true.DMany

52、 of the high-tech things our parents thought wed be using by now simply never appeared.66The underlined word “weird” probably means _.AwonderfulBstupidCpracticalDstrange67What does the author think of the flying car?AIt is too difficult to imagine.BIt is too crazy an idea.CIt is likely to be made.DI
