28、hefty.升級(jí)座位只是有時(shí)候免費(fèi)，意味著要在升級(jí)前確認(rèn)。答案：ACMy mom takes pride in the fact that I was talking in three and four word sentences before I was ten months old. Some say its a gift while others simply think I talk too much. As my thirties came to a close, I found myself reflecting on my life. Im very happy and hav

29、e no significant regrets. However, when I looked back on those times of difficulty, I saw a clear common denominator(特征); I didnt seem to know when to stop talking. Whether it was hurting someones feelings, or having carelessly told a secret, the incident could have been avoided had I closed my mout

30、h sooner. So I decided to practice the power of quiet.To take this step, I needed to understand how people could sit comfortably in a group and not talk.

Of course there were other reasons for not talking, but these were the two most popular answers.The first one didnt work for me. Im just fine letting people know what I think about them, and hopefully it will make the conversa

33、tion much more interesting. The second one didnt work either. I do feel the need to participate. I feel it physically like an electrical pulse through my body; sometimes its so strong that it causes me to behave badly in the form of interrupting or speaking in an unusually loud voice. I had to look

34、further.An interesting thing happened on this journey to the power of quiet. During my weekly yoga class, it came to me like an answer so clear that the words rang in my head like soft, heavenly bells.I talked too much so people would know I cared about them. It was my way of taking care of those I

35、love. I decided before my fortieth birthday, that from that day forward, those around me would know I loved them, and cared what they thought and felt, but I was going to practice the power of quiet.As my forty-second birthday approaches, I can say that deciding to talk less has been more about focu

36、sing on quality rather than quantity. Ive found that listening more shows those who I care about that I really do care how they feel. Now when I break in, it means more to them.

41、 team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings al

42、low it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“Its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件),” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for

43、over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.They engineered a series of systems t

44、o start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything its connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was

45、 built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equi

46、p it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at ins

47、ect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” h

48、e said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”32.The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that _.A. they had no model in their mindB. they did not have sufficient timeC

49、. they had no ready-made componentsD. they could not assemble the components解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own”意為類似這樣的質(zhì)目的一個(gè)額外的困難就是，這些組成部件從來(lái)就沒(méi)有現(xiàn)成的，我們不得不靠自己去幵發(fā)，從中可知，困難就是

50、沒(méi)有現(xiàn)成的 組成部件，即C項(xiàng)。答案：C33. It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly _.A. consists of a flight device and a control systemB. can just fly in limited areas at the present timeC. can collect information from many sourcesD. has been put into wide application解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的“he flight d

51、evice was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems”可知A項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的。根據(jù)第四段的“While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source”和“Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,”可知，目前由于電池等的限制，只能在有限的區(qū)域飛行。因此B項(xiàng)是正確的。根據(jù)第四段的“so that it might someday

52、perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers fields or on the battlefield”可知該飛行器是在someday將來(lái)的某一天才能從不同的地方收集信息，而不是現(xiàn)在，因此排除C項(xiàng)?？v觀全文，講述的是該飛行器尚處于開(kāi)發(fā)的初級(jí)階段，有很多地方需要改善，因此D項(xiàng)廣泛投入使用是錯(cuò)誤的。綜上所述，選B項(xiàng)。答案：B34. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about

53、 insects.B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.C. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.D. Woods design can replace animals in some experiments.解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers fields or on the battlefield可知，A項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的。B項(xiàng)

54、中animals are not allowed 是錯(cuò)的，應(yīng)該是difficult with animals,即有些用動(dòng)物來(lái)做試驗(yàn)是困難的，不是不允許。C項(xiàng)在文中并沒(méi)有提到以前方法的多少，文中只是說(shuō)offers a new way to study，提供了新的方法，故排除C項(xiàng)。根據(jù)最后一段的 you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead，可知，有些試驗(yàn)用動(dòng)物很苦難，但是可以用機(jī)器人來(lái)替代，故選擇D項(xiàng)。答案：D35. Which

55、 of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Father of Robotic FlyB. Inspiration from Engineering ScienceC. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life InsectD. Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study解析：主旨大意題。文章的重點(diǎn)觀點(diǎn)在第一段，主要講述的是哈佛大學(xué)從自然界的昆蟲那里得到了靈感，設(shè)計(jì)開(kāi)發(fā)了第一款機(jī)器蒼蠅。因此選擇C項(xiàng)，A重點(diǎn)在father，與文章中心不符，B項(xiàng)沒(méi)有突出得出的靈感是什么

56、，不夠具體，D項(xiàng)講的是在昆蟲研究方面的突破，與文章中心不符。答案：C第二節(jié)（共5小題，每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Today we eat on the go, at our desks and even in front of computers. We eat takeout, delivered and packaged meals, _36_“Over the past three decades, people have started eating out more than ever before an

58、. It all started in 1986 with the efforts of Slow Foods founding father, Italian activist Carlo Petrini, who wanted to bring back food varieties and flavors that had gone dark in the face of industrialization._38_ Now, his idea is almost the mainstream.Starting at the table, the movement promotes an unhurried way of life founded on the idea that everyone has a right to cooking pleasure, and that everyone mus
