Cats never fail to fascinate human beings. They can be friendly and affectionate towards humans, but they lead mysterious lives of their own as well. They never become submissive like dogs and horses. As a result, humans have learned to respect their independence. Most cats remain suspicious of humans all their lives. One thing that fascinates us most about cats is the popular belief that they have nine lives. Apparently, there is a good deal of truth in this idea. A cat’s ability to survive falls is based on fact.
Recently the New York Animal Medical Centre made a study of 132 cats over a period of five months. All these cats had one experience in common: they had fallen off high buildings, yet only eight of them died from shock of injuries. Of course, New York is the ideal place for such an interesting study, because there is no shortage of tall buildings. There are plenty of high-rise windowsills to fall from! One cat, Sabrina, fell 32 stories, yet only suffered from a broken tooth. "Cats behave like well-trained paratroopers," a doctor said. It seems that the further cats fall, the less they are likely to injure themselves. In a long drop, they reach speeds of 60 miles an hour and more. At high speeds, falling cats have time to relax. They stretch out their legs like flying squirrels. This increases their air-resistance and reduces the shock of impact when they hit the ground.
选项
A、Because they actually have nine lives.
B、Because they reach speeds of 60 miles an hour and more.
C、Because they have time to stretch their body to diminish the shock.
D、Because they have learned their skills from flying squirrels.
答案
C
解析
A只是一种说法;B、C、D三个选项都从原文演化而来,但B说的是猫下跌过程中的现象,不是不受伤的原因;D偷换了概念,原文说猫能够伸展四肢,就像flying squirrels 一样,但不能说明猫从它们身上学到了飞行技巧。只有C是正确的。
