21、 has been inspired by nature to create the first robotic fly.The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new hightech systems.Designed to do what a fly does naturally，the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly.Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight

22、tasks.“Its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just a bunch of individual components (零件)，” said Robert Wood，the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade.“The added difficulty with such a project is that actu

23、ally 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 to start and drive the robotic fly.“The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of individual components，each of which individually has

24、to perform well，and then has to be matched well to everything its connected to，” said Wood.The flight device was 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 manufacture

25、d.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insectscale.Yet，the power，sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications (应用)“You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions，you know，to study biology in

26、ways that would be difficult with the animals，but using these robots instead，” he said.“So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a daytoday basis.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述的是哈佛大学的工程师们从自然界的昆虫那里得到灵感，设计开发了第一款机器苍蝇。8What challenge did the

27、 engineers have when making the robotic fly?AThey dont have enough related knowledge.BThey are lack of readymade components.CThe system is too complex to work.DThey fail to control all the components.B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The added difficulty with such a project is that actually none of those components ar

28、e off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own， he said.”可知，类似这样的项目的一个额外的困难就是，这些组成部件从来就没有现成的，我们不得不靠自己去开发，从中推断出，挑战就是没有现成的组成部件。9What does the success of the robotic fly prove?AScientists are able to make tiny flying machines.BHumans will create a new kind of species for nature.CThe flig

29、ht device will not need so many components.DIt will help to kill dangerous insects in nature.A推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.”可知，机器苍蝇的成功证明了科学家可以做成小零部件组成的飞行器。10What does Wood hope to do with the

30、flying device?ATo fix the system on other animals.BTo put it to the market for money.CTo solve more scientific problems.DTo encourage people to learn biology.C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions，you know，to study biology in ways that would be di

31、fficult with the animals，but using these robots instead， he said.So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a daytoday basis.”可知，科学家希望用这种飞行设备来解决科学问题，所以C正确。11How does Wood feel about the application of the robotic fly?AWorriedBCuriou

32、s.CDoubtful.DConfident.D推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insectscale.Yet，the power，sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications.”可知，Wood对于机器苍蝇的应用充满了自信，所以D正确。DWhy should mankind explore space? Why shoul

33、d money，time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that，understandably，are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as

34、 human beings.What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains，and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species，the better its chance of survival.Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly e

35、very successful civilisation has explored，because by doing so，any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for.Without knowledge，we may be completely destroyed by the danger.With knowledge，we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to

36、be found.Even if we have no immediate need of them，they will perhaps be useful later.Resources may be more than physical possessions.Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration.The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives.We hav

37、e already benefited from other spinoffs of space exploration.The technical improvements in earthquake prediction，in satellites for weather forecasting and in communication systems have long been in effect.While many resources are spent on what seems a small return，the exploration of space allows cre

38、ative，brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us.While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works，it also holds dangers.The danger exists，but knowledge can help human beings to survive.Without the ability to rea

39、ch out across space，the chance to save ourselves might not exist.12What might be the key to those questions mentioned in Paragraph 1?AHumans nature.BKnowledge.CCivilisation.DPotential dangers.13Which of the following can best replace “spinoffs” underlined in Paragraph 4?AApplications.BShortcomings.C

40、Advantages.DGains.14In which situation may this text be applied properly?AA private conversation.BA class presentation.CA cartoon picture.DA fashion review.15What can be a suitable title for the text?AHow Knowledge Benefits Us?BWhat Humans Spread for?CWhy to Explore Space?DHow Humans Save Ourselves?
