16、ing to Forgive C C 2019湖南长郡中学第一次适应性测试Chimpanzees do have stronger muscles than us, but they are not nearly as powerful as many people think. “Theres an idea out there that chimpanzees are superhuman strong，” says Mattew ONeill at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Phoenix. Yet his team
17、s experiments and computer models show that a chimpanzees muscle is only about a third stronger than a human of the same size. This result matches well with the few tests that have been done, which suggest that when it comes to pulling and jumping, chimps are about 1.5 times as strong as humans owin
18、g to their muscular bodies. “But because people participating in these tests are lighter than the average person, humans can actually outperform chimpanzees in absolute terms，” says ONeill. His findings suggest that other apes have similar muscle strength to chinpanzees, “Human are the odd ones，” he
19、 says. ONeills team has been studying the evolution of upright walking. To create an accurate computer model of how chimps walk, the researchers needed to find out whether their muscles really are much stronger. So they removed small samples of leg - 4 - muscle from three chimps and measured the str
20、ength of individual fibers(纤维)。 The same procedure was used to study human muscles. Comparing the results with the many studies on those showed that contrary to the claims of several other studies, there is nothing special about chimp muscle. “Chimpanzees muscle is really no different than human mus
21、cle in terms of the force that individual fibers use，” says ONeill. So why, on a poundforpound basis, are chimps slightly stronger than humans? The team went on to look at the muscle of chimps that had died of natural causes, which showed that twothirds of their muscle is made of fast twitch fibers,
22、 whereas more than half of human fibers are slow twitch. Fast twitch fibers are more powerful, but use more energy and become tired faster. Another factor, ONeill found, is that chimps have longer fibers on average, which also improves their strength. This adds to the evidence that walking uses far
23、more energy for chimps than for people. The results fit well with the idea that early humans evolved to walk or run long distances. It seems that we gave up some strength for greater endurance (耐 力) 8What does ONeill mean by saying “Humans are the odd ones”？ AHumans are better at jumping and pulling
24、 things than chimps. BHumansmuscle strength is different from that of apes. CHumans are heavier and stronger than chimpanzees. DThere is nothing special about human muscles. 9What contributes a lot to the strength of chimp muscles? AThe evolution of upright walking. BThe slowtwitch fibers in their m
25、uscles. CMost of their muscles being made of short fibers. DThe fasttwitch fibers in their muscles. 10What can we infer from the text? AShort twitch fibers provide more energy for the muscle. BEarly humans needed much more energy than chimps. CHuman muscles are more suited to long distance running.
26、DSlow twitch fibers help chimps survive in the wild. 11What can we conclude from the passage? AChimpanzees have much stronger muscles than humans. - 5 - BChimpanzees are lighter than humans. CChimp muscle is almost the same as humans. DHumans cant walk as long as chimpanzees. .阅读七选五 2020河南省高考适应性测试 P
