②Animals and plants can teach people a lot about design and engineering（工程学）.When scientists and engineers have a problem，nature（大自然）（仿生学）.Bio means "studying living things" and mimetics means "copying（模仿） the movement of things".In other words

【分析】动植物可以教会人们很多关于设计和工程的知识。当科学家和工程师遇到问题时，大自然往往会给出答案。本文主要是关于科学家们学习研究动植物、并将其优点注入自己的设计发明中，从而为人们的生活带来便利。
【解答】（1）C.推理判断题。根据第一段The scientists are interested in the gecko's feet.They want to use the same design on their own robots（机器人）.The metal robot looks like the gecko.It has four feet which can also walk up walls made of glass.However。他们想在自己的机器人上使用相同的设计。它有四只脚。但是，它仍然有一个更困难的时间。可推测文章第一段向我们举例说明了这个金属机器人设计的由来。

【分析】动植物可以教会人们很多关于设计和工程的知识。当科学家和工程师遇到问题时，大自然往往会给出答案。本文主要是关于科学家们学习研究动植物、并将其优点注入自己的设计发明中，从而为人们的生活带来便利。
【解答】（1）C.推理判断题。根据第一段The scientists are interested in the gecko's feet.They want to use the same design on their own robots（机器人）.The metal robot looks like the gecko.It has four feet which can also walk up walls made of glass.However。他们想在自己的机器人上使用相同的设计。它有四只脚。但是，它仍然有一个更困难的时间。可推测文章第一段向我们举例说明了这个金属机器人设计的由来。
