A(2021广东中山第一次质量调研)
The world of animals is amazing, but also full of mystery.If animals could talk, what would you ask them Perhaps these questions would do.
Question: Why do you chew(咀嚼) all the time？
Answer from a cow：
You often see us chewing because we are either eating our first meal or re chewing food that we bring back from our stomachs.We call the latter process rumination(反刍).It helps us get more nutrients(营养)from our food.We chew at least 50 times a minute and move our jaws(下巴)40，000 times a day.
Question: Why don't your feathers(羽毛) get wet while you are in water？
Answer from a duck：
That's because we have “raincoats”！ You may see us spend a lot of time nibbling(啃咬) our feathers.By doing this, we can put oil all over our feathers.The oil comes from a place near our tails and makes the feathers waterproof(防水的).
Question: Why do you roll balls of dung(粪)？
Answer from a dung beetle(屎壳郎)：
We roll dung into round balls because it's our food.We roll the balls and move them to safe places.Then we can eat them for days.But it's not just for food, either.We also lay eggs in the balls.Our babies grow up inside them and eat the dung during the time.
Question: Why don't you choke(呛到)when using your trunks(象鼻) to drink water？
Answer from an elephant：
That's because we don't actually use our trunks to drink.We use our trunks to suck up(吸取) water and squirt(喷出) it into our mouths.At the end of our trunks，there is a piece of cartilage(软骨).It's like a gate that keeps water from entering our trachea(气管).

A.回答问题(本题有5小题，每小题2分，共10分)
请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。
A computer program that could help catch and even translate messages from aliens in outer space has been developed by a British scientist.
If aliens are discovered one day, scientists fear their language may make it impossible to understand them.But John Elliott of Leeds Metropolitan University in Britain has come up with a program that can figure out the structure(结构) of their language.He thinks that's the first step in understanding what they are saying.
Dr.Elliott's program would compare an alien language to a database(数据库) of 60 different languages in the world to look for a similar structure.He believes that even an alien language will have its own structure.“Language has to be structured in a certain way, or it will be hard to use，” he told New Scientist.
Research had shown that it is possible to know if a signal(信号) carries a language rather than a picture or music.Dr.Elliott has gone a step further by finding a way to pick out what might be words and sentences.Because languages have different word orders, Dr.Elliott has set up a library of the sentence structures of 60 human languages.
If a message is received from outer space, it could be compared with this database.Scientists would then be able to see if it's similar to any human language, or a mixture of the languages.
However, Dr.Elliott also said that in order to translate what the aliens are actually saying, it may still be necessary to have a “code(密码) book”.
76.Who developed the computer program

77.What is the first step in understanding what aliens are saying

It was developed by John Elliott of Leeds Metropolitan University in Britain
