Mountain gorillas (大猩猩) have been caught on camera as they“sing”during their supper,a behavior that has never before been documented on video. Filmmakers shot the astonishing footage of gorillas with the help from a very special camera: a robotic“spy”designed to look like a young gorilla.
Creating a realistic robot spy that could fool a gorilla means designing a face that is mobile and expressive, particularly around the eyes. “ Eye communication is very important among gorillas," said“Spy in the Wild" producer Matt Gordon.“You'll see in the film the gorillas came straight over to our spy gorilla and looked right into its eyes. So we made sure that the gorilla had the most amount of detail put into the face.”
Infiltrating communities of animals that live in groups requires a robot to smell like its animal subjects in order to get close to them, Sometimes animal waste is applied to the robot to allow it to be accepted into the group.
One tricky challenge for the gorilla robot is that it has to pass inspection by the chief male.“We wanted to make sure that we were not being threatening,so we avoided the stare of our spy gorilla ,”Gordon said. This display of obedience (顺从) convinced the male that the robot wasn't a danger; he then signaled to the troop that it was safe for them to take a closer look at the "stranger".
The robot was also able to beat its chest to respond to a baby gorilla' s chest- beating, allowing the filmmakers to shoot a rare sight of their playtime. “A young gorilla came over and beat its chest. For a baby gorilla, that means‘I want to play' ,and if our gorilla was lifeless, not moving, the gorilla would have lost interest. But our spy gorilla was able to beat its chest too,” Gordon said.
28. Why was the robotic spy made?
A. To record the songs gorillas sang at supper.
B. To produce a film called Spy in the Wild.
C. To test the spy's ability to communicate.
D. To study the environment gorillas live in.
29. What does the underlined word“infiltrating” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Fitting in.
B. Focusing on.
C. Playing with.
D. Learning about.
30. How did the spy gorilla deal with the inspection?
A. By avoiding staring at the chief.
B. By beating its chest like a baby.
C. By putting some waste on itself.
D. By signaling to other gorillas.
31. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Unusual daily behavior of mountain gorillas.
B. Scientific research on living habits of gorillas.
C. The procedures for making a robotic gorilla.
D. Ways to make a robotic spy close to gorillas.

Astronauts on the International Space Station will soon test a new oven for making chocolate chip cookies. A spaceship carrying the cooking equipment and other supplies was launched on Saturday from the Wallops Flight Facility in the United States. The shipment, weighing 3,700 kilograms, reached the space station on Monday.The goal is to explore the possibility of making freshly baked cookies for space travelers.
American company Nanoracks designed and built the oven and helped with organizing the flight to the space station.Hilton DoubleTree hotels supplied the cookie dough(生面团）the astronauts will use.
In the past,space station crews have created their own pizzas using a thin,flat piece of bread known as flatbread.Astronauts have tried other creative ways to make food, such as creating salads from vegetables grown in the space station.Results have been mixed.
The cookie baking will be a slow process.The oven can heat just one cookie at a time.The test could take weeks before the astronauts have chance to try out freshly baked cookies.
Five unbaked cookies have been in a space station freezer for several weeks.Each is in its own individual clear bag made out of silicone.The oven can heat foods to temperatures as high as 177 degrees Celsius.That is twice the temperature of the U.S.and Russian food warmers on the space station.The oven uses electric heating elements.
Mary Murphy is with Nanoracks.Murphy says she expects a baking time of 15 to 20 minutes for each cookie when the oven is heated to about 163 degrees Celsius.She adds that the smell of baking cookies should fill the space station each time a cookie comes out of the oven.
The oven's first use will be the real test.Without the force of gravity, the astronauts do not know exactly how the cookie will look.Three of the space-baked cookies are to be returned to Earth for testing.
32. Which of the following can best describe the new oven test?
A. Time-consuming. B. Energy-saving.
C. Meaningless. D. Successful.
33. What's the advantage of the new oven over the Russian food warmer?
A. It heats up much faster.
B. It's more convenient to use.
C. It has a larger cooking space.
D. It can heat up to a higher temperature.
34. What will make the cookie's appearance in the new oven uncertain?
A. The baking time.
B The heating method.
C. The absence of gravity.
D. D. The speed of temperature rise.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Cooking Equipment in Space Station
B. Cookies Coming from the International Space Station
C. Creative Ways Astronauts Make Food in Space Station
D. A New Oven to Be Tested to Make Cookies in Space Station
