D The flight of butterflies has so far been somewhat of a secret to researchers, given their unusually large and broad wings relative to

29、 their body size. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden have studied the aerodynamics （空气动力）of butterflies in the wind tunnel （风洞）. The results suggest that butterflies use a highly helpfi.il clap technique, therefore making use of their unique wings. This helps them rapidly take off when esc

30、aping natural enemies. The researchers studied the wingbeats of freely flying butterflies during takeoff in the wind tunnel. During the upward process, the wings cup, creating an air-filled pocket between them. When the wings strike each other, the air is forced out, resulting in a backward strong s

32、rflies in free flight. Until now, it has been generally believed that butterfly wings are aerodynamically inefficient. However, the researchers suggest that the opposite is actually true. “That the wings are cupped when butterflies clap them together, makes the wing clap much more effective. It is a

33、n elegant mechanism that is far more advanced than we imagined, and it is fascinating, says biology researcher Per Henningsson, who studied the butterflies aerodynamics. The results of the study could help inspire improved performance and flight technology in small unmanned aircraft, he continues. I

34、n addition to studying the butterflies, the researchers designed mechanical wings that are modeled on real ones. The shape and flexibility of the mechanical wings as they are cupped and folded confirm the efficiency. Their measurements show that the pushing force created by the flexible wings is 22

35、percent higher and the efficiency 28 percent better compared to if the wings had been rigid. 12. What does the researchers study focus on? A. The butterflys body size. B. The butterflys flying principle. C. The butterflys escape technique. D. The butterflys frequency of wingbeats. 13. For what purpo

36、se do butterfly wings strike? A. To empty the air pocket for forward force. B. To release their additional energy. C. To circle steadily in the air. D. To form an air pocket. 14. Why were the mechanical wings made? A. They might draw public attention. B. They could be used to test the findings. C. T

37、heyd show results in line with popular belief. D. They helped avoid experimenting on live butterflies. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.
