Comic(喜劇的)book superhero Spider-Man uses tiny hairs on his fingertips to climb up walls.But he could have had another secret weapon to help him stick.
Scientists have now found that some spiders can also make silk in their feet, which may sometimes help them get a firmer grip on a surface.
Spiders are good at gripping walls with their legs.Thousands of little hairs on their feet make it possible.To test whether spiders also make these hairs wet to improve grip, scientists watched zebra tarantulas crawl(爬行)up glass slides.
When they tilted a glass slide until it was almost vertical, the spider slipped a few millimeters before attaching itself again.The scientists were surprised to see little threads(線)stretching from its feet to the slide.When they studied the spider’s feet under a special microscope, they found tiny silk-shooting spouts(吐出)among the hairs.
This was a surprise because scientists had previously thought spiders only use special organs near their stomachs to make silk.
It’s possible that, a long time ago, feet were the first body parts of spiders to produce silk.Only later in their evolutionary(進(jìn)化)history did spiders develop spinnerets on their abdomens(腹部)to produce silk for webs(網(wǎng)).
If so, the researchers say, this could mean that the silk’s original purpose was to , rather than to build homes or trap prey(獵物).

1.Sticky Silky Feet/Spiders with Silky Feet 2.Scientists have now found that some spiders can also make silk in their feet, which may sometimes help them get a firmer grip on a surface. 3.Help spiders climb and stick 4.當(dāng)他們把玻璃幻燈片傾斜到幾乎垂直的時(shí)候,這只蜘蛛才往下滑了幾毫米,然后很快又粘住了。 5.From this discovery we can see that there is no limit to the development of science./We can learn that people need to observe carefully if they want to make any discovery./It can be concluded from this story that curiosity can be the eternal motivation of science. |

PART FOUR WRITING(45分)
SECTION A(10分)
Directions: Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.
The Chilean earthquake, measuring 8.8 – magnitude, which struck early Saturday morning, released 500 times the energy of the 7.0 – magnitude quake that hit Haiti (海地) last month, a geophysicist told CBS’ “The Early Show. ” Tsunami warnings were issued for much of the Pacific, including Hawaii, following the quake that struck near the Chilean coast.
"When the earthquake occurred, it moved the land and then it moved the water causing the tsunami," said U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist Jessica Sigala. "And the coastal areas of Chile have already noticed the wave heights up to about 7 feet."
Sigala said Hawaiians can expect to see the waves from this tsunami around 11:20 a.m. local time (about 4:20 p.m. ET). "So we have to wait and see how big the waves will be."
"It's not so much the height [of the wave] but it's the width, it's how long the duration, and then it's also the speed at which it's traveling," said co-anchor Kelly Cobiella "Correct me if I'm wrong, but these waves are traveling at the speed of a jetliner, about 500 miles per hour?"
"That's correct. It's a big block of water coming onto the land," Sigala said.
Chile has already experienced several aftershocks following the quake.
"Aftershocks are definitely a concern," said Sigala. "We always see aftershocks with a large quake and a shallow quake, which this one was. And as of right now, we've located about maybe 15 aftershocks and those are of the larger kind. I'm sure they felt much more than that.
"A shallow earthquake just means that it happened pretty close to the surface," said Sigala. "And because of that the energy is really close to the surface, where all the buildings and people are."
50 deaths caused by aftershocks have been reported, according to the national emergency agency, adding the estimate casualties to 960.
Title: Concerns after 71.
I. Tsunami:
●72. : much of the Pacific, including Hawaii
●Cause: the earthquake moved 73.
●Wave Heights: about 74.
●75. : about 500 mph
II. 76. :
●Reason: the Chilean Earthquake was a 77. and a 78. earthquake, which always have them after the major one
●Number: at least 79.
●Loss caused: 80.
