Were dinosaurs (恐龙) warm-blooded or cold-blooded According to a new study, scientists have found that they were somewhere in the middle. This new study shows that dinosaurs were very different from most of today's animals that are either warm or cold-blooded.
“I think we were all surprised by this,” said Felisa Smith from the University of New Mexico. “The idea certainly took some getting used to.”
The last dinosaurs lived on the earth more than 60 million years ago. However, there is always more to discover about these ancient animals.
A study by a team of scientists led by John M. Grady of the university studied many different kinds of dinosaurs in their research. They looked at growth rate (比率), body temperature and body size of different kinds of dinosaurs.
How are warm-blooded animals different from cold-blooded animals Warm-blooded animals like humans can control their body temperature. They eat a lot, and burn calories (卡路里) quickly. They have a more active lifestyle than cold-blooded animals. While cold-blooded animals such as snakes do not control their body temperature. Instead, they must use sunlight to keep warm, and they move much more slowly. Cold-blooded animals do not need to eat very much. Their bodies slow down in colder temperatures.
Dinosaurs were in the middle because they didn't completely control their body temperature, but their body temperature didn't only depend on the environment either. This helped dinosaurs and allowed them to live for so many years.
Besides dinosaurs, there are other animals that are not completely warm-blooded or cold-blooded, such as great white sharks.
( )6. According to the new study,____ .
A. dinosaurs were cold-blooded
B. dinosaurs were warm-blooded
C. dinosaurs were not completely warm-blooded or cold-blooded
D. some dinosaurs were warm-blooded and some were cold-blooded
( )7. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means that ____ .
A. it's bad news to get the idea
B. it's good news to get the idea
C. the idea is the same as what scientists predicted
D. the idea is different from what people usually think
( )8. John M. Grady and his team studied many things about different kinds of dinosaurs EXCEPT their ____ .
A. body size B. eating habit
C. growth rate D. body temperature
( )9. Warm-blooded animals ____ .
① live an active life
②eat a lot
③ need sunlight to keep warm
④ don't control their body temperature
A.①② B.③④ C.①③ D.②④
( )10. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. Great white sharks are cold-blooded.
B. Most of today's animals are either warm or cold-blooded.
C. Cold-blooded animals move slowly in colder temperatures.
D. Dinosaurs’ body temperature didn’t only depend on the environment.
