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 tasks.“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of its components is off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own，” said Robert Wood, a Harvard engineering professor.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has lots of interdependence(互相依赖) of the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well，but then has to be matched well to everything it's connected to，”said Wood.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off­board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built­in power source, so that it might someday perform data­gathering 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 insect­scale. 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，”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】　本文是一篇说明文。哈佛大学的工程师团队研制出了机器苍蝇飞行器，该飞行器虽然尺寸如苍蝇大小，但结构复杂，可望在未来执行搜救、农田勘探等领域的数据收集任务。1．What is the typical characteristic of the robotic fly?A．It's automatic.B．It's very small.C．It's controllable.D．It's quite powerful.B　[细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句“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 tasks”可知，这种飞行器设计初衷是为了能做苍蝇做的事，它的尺寸和肥胖的家蝇一样大，微小的翅膀可以让它停在空中执行受控的飞行任务；据此可知，该飞行器的典型特点是尺寸小，故B项正确。]2．We can infer from the passage that the robotic flyer can         ．A．act as a spy planeB．help do farm workC．fly at a very high speedD．answer many scientific questionsA　[推理判断题。根据第四段第一句中的“so that it might someday perform data­gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers' fields or on the battlefield”可知，某一天这种飞行器可能用于搜救点、农田、战场信息的收集；据此可推知，该飞行器可以用作间谍飞机，故A项正确。]3．What is Wood's idea about the robotic fly according to the last paragraph?A．It is highly questionable.B．It has wide practical applications.C．It gives scientists interest in flying machines.D．It points to a new direction in studying biology.B　[细节理解题。根据尾段第二句“Yet，the power ...could have much broader applications”并结合Wood所说的话可知，Wood认为这种飞行器使用范围很广泛，故B项正确。]4．What can be the best title for the passage?A．Harvard's Study in the Field of InsectsB．A Breakthrough in Engineering ScienceC．An Interesting Invention —Robotic FlyD．Robotic Fly—a Copy of the Real Life InsectD　[标题判断题。通读全文可知，本文的主题句是第一段第一、二句；结合全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了哈佛大学的工程师团队研制的一款机器苍蝇飞行器，该飞行器虽然尺寸如苍蝇大小，但结构复杂，可望在未来执行搜救、农田勘探等领域的数据收集任务。故D项最适合作为本文标题。]B(2019·潍坊市统一考试)Plants cannot run or hide, so they need other strategies to avoid being eaten. Some curl up their leaves, others produce chemicals to make themselves taste bad if they sense animals drooling on them, chewing them up or laying eggs on them—all signals of an attack. New research now shows some flora can feel a plant－eating animal well before it launches an attack, letting a plant prepare a preemptive(先发制人的) defense that even works against other pest species.When ecologist John Orrock of the University of Wisconsin－Madison sprayed snail slime—a liquid the animals release as they slide along—onto soil, nearby tomato plants appeared to notice. They increased their levels of an enzyme(酶) , which is known to prevent plant­eating animals. “None of the plants were ever actually attacked，” Orrock says. “We just gave them cues that suggested an attack was coming, and that was enough to cause big changes in their chemistry.”Initially Orrock found this defense worked against snails; in the latest study, his team measured the slimy warning's impact on another potential threat. The investigators found that hungry caterpillars(毛虫), which usually eat tomato leaves greedily, had no appetite for them after the plants were exposed to snail slime and activated their chemical resistance. This nonspecific defense may be a strategy that benefits the plants by further improving their overall possibilities of survival, says Orrock, who reported the results with his colleagues in March in Oecologia.The finding that a snail's approach can cause a plant response that affects a different animal made Richard Karban curious, a plant communications expert, who was not involved in the study.“It is significant that the plants are responding before being damaged and that these cues are having such far­ranging effects，” Karban says. The research was comprehensive, he adds, but he wonders how the tomato plants felt chemicals in snail slime that never actually touched them.“That's the million­dollar question，” Orrock says. He hopes future research will make out the mechanisms that enable plants to sense these relatively distant cues.【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了一项新的科学研究。研究表明植物会对外在威胁相当警觉，会自动做出反应进行自我保护。5．John Orrock sprayed a liquid onto soil near tomato plants to         ．A．make them grow betterB．give them a warningC．keep plant­eating animals awayD．inform plant­eating animals of dangerB　[推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“We just gave them cues that suggested an attack was coming, and that was enough to cause big changes in their chemistry.”可推知，John Orrock在西红柿植株附近的泥土上喷洒液体的目的是给予植物一种警告，让它们能够产生自我保护性反应，且其与第三段第一句中的“his team measured the slimy warning's impact on another potential threat”呼应，故选B。]6．Why is the example of “caterpillars” mentioned in Paragraph 3?A．To introduce another animal.B．To confirm the result of the study.C．To appeal to people to protect animals.D．To analyze different resistance chemicals.B　[推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Initially Orrock found this defense worked against snails；in the latest study, his team measured the slimy warning's impact on another potential threat”可推知，文章中提到毛虫的例子是为了验证研究的结果，故选B。]7．What does Richard Karban really want to know?A．How tomato plants become aware of danger.B．What the chemicals in the snail slime are.C．Whether the research is of practical value.D．What the finding of the research is.A　[推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“The research was comprehensive，he adds, but he wonders how the tomato plants felt chemicals in snail slime that never actually touched them”，并结合对最后一段的整体理解可推知，Richard Karban实际上想了解的是西红柿植株是如何意识到危险的，故选A。]8．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Watchful PlantsB．Greedy AnimalsC．A Snail's ApproachD．A Defense AttackA　[标题判断题。根据文章中的关键词plant，并结合对全文的整体理解可推知，本文主要讲述的是有关植物的科学研究，研究发现植物有对外在威胁或攻击的自我保护性反应，故选A。]Ⅱ.完形填空(2019·昆明市教学质量检测)My least favorite part was participating in sport meets, for I loved running by myself.
