Thanks to the International Space Station, we know quite a bit about the effects of low gravity on the human body, but NASA scientists want to learn more. To that end, they have been studying how other species deal with low gravity, specifically focusing on mice. The results are both interesting and humorous. The scientists first sent some mice in a specially designed cage to the International Space Station. The cage allowed them to study the behavior of the mice remotely from Earth via video. As you’ll notice in the video, the mice definitely seem uncomfortable at the beginning of the experiment. They move around clumsily, drifting within the small confines of the cage, and do their best to figure out which way is up, but without success. However, it’s not long before the mice begin to catch on. They adapt remarkably well to their new environment and even use the lack of gravity to their advantage as they push themselves around the cage. That’s when things really get wild. The eleventh day of the experiment shows the mice are not just dealing with the gravity change but actually seem to be enjoying it. Several of the mice are observed running around the cage walls. The scientists wanted to see whether the mice would continue doing the same kinds of activities they were observed doing on Earth. The study showed that the mice kept much of their routines intact, including cleaning themselves and eating when hungry.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. What do NASA scientists want to learn about?
23. What does the passage say about the mice at the beginning of the experiment?
24. What was observed about the mice on the eleventh day of the experiment?
25. What did the scientists find about the mice from the experiment?

选项 A、They changed their routines in space.
B、They began to eat less after some time.
C、They behaved as if they were on Earth.
D、They repeated their activities every day.

答案 C

解析 细节推断题。短文最后提到,研究人员想看看这些老鼠是否会继续做它们在地球上的那些活动。研究表明在太空中这些老鼠大部分的日常活动未受影响,包括自我清洁和饥饿时进食。由此可知,它们的举止行为和在地球上一样。
