Researchers have been looking forward to using tiny flying robots to settle important tasks. The machines could be used to help astronauts on space missions, and even to help bees with plant pollination(授粉). However, fitting the heavy electric equipment that is used to power and control the wings into the tiny robot has been challenging. Now here comes a special flying robot- RoboBee X-Wing. It is the world’s lightest aerial vehicle that can fly not tied to a power source.
Made by Harvard researchers, the insect-inspired robot weighs only 259 milligrams, has four wings whose distance is 3.5 centimeters, and stands 6.5 centimeters high. Its four small wings, which can flap(拍动) up to 170 times a second, are controlled by actuators(驱动器). Six small solar cells are fitted above the wings to provide the power.
To test its flying abilities, the team, led by Dr. Noah Jafferis and PhD student Elizabeth Helbling, exposed the RoboBee X-Wing’s solar cells to LED lighting. To their delight, the tiny robot’s wings began to flap, and it rose, keeping a flight for about half a second. Though the robot lost its flight ability as soon as the power source was turned off, its short flight was cheered for its huge effect on the future of tiny flying robots.
However, though the current RoboBee X-Wing is a step in the right direction, it is not quite ready for practical use. The researchers also hope to experiment with other power sources, such as batteries, sun light or radio frequency signals, and to add more advanced “brains” and sensor systems to help the robot navigate and complete tasks independently.
4. What is special about RoboBee X-Wing?
A. It is for dangerous tasks.
B. It can fly for a long time.
C. It can fly not tied to a power source.
D. It is powered directly by the sunlight .
5. How does the writer describe RoboBee X-Wing in Paragraph 2?
A. By using figures.
B. By giving examples.
C. By stating arguments
D. By providing research results.
6 What is the situation facing RoboBee X-Wing?
A. It can’t be used in crowded places.
B. It will be used for giving directions.
C. It will be powered by radio signals.
D. It still can’t be used widely at present.
7. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Health. B. Science. C. Education. D. Entertainment.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍是特殊的飞行机器人----RoboBee X-Wing。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“It is the world’s lightest aerial vehicle that can fly not tied to a power source.（它是世界上最轻的飞行器，可以不依靠电源飞行。）”可知，RoboBee X-Wing的特别之处在于它不需要电源就能飞。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Made by Harvard researchers, the insect-inspired robot weighs only 259 milligrams, has four wings whose distance is 3.5 centimeters, and stands 6.5 centimeters high. Its four small wings, which can flap(拍动) up to 170 times a second, are controlled by actuators(驱动器). Six small solar cells are fitted above the wings to provide the power.（这是哈佛大学研究人员根据昆虫设计的机器人，重量只有259毫克，四个翅膀的距离为3.5厘米，高度为6.5厘米。它的四个小翅膀由执行器控制，每秒可以扇动170次。机翼上方安装了六个小型太阳能电池来提供能量。）”可知，第二段里作者通过给出很多数字来描述这个机器人，故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“However, though the current RoboBee X-Wing is a step in the right direction, it is not quite ready for practical use.（然而，尽管目前的RoboBee X-Wing是朝着正确的方向迈出的一步，但它还不太适合实际使用。）”可知，RoboBee X-Wing面临的情况是目前还不能广泛应用。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Now here comes a special flying robot- RoboBee X-Wing. It is the world’s lightest aerial vehicle that can fly not tied to a power source.（现在有了一个特殊的飞行机器人----RoboBee X-Wing。它是世界上最轻的飞行器，可以不依靠电源飞行。）”可知，本文主要介绍的是特殊的飞行机器人----RoboBee X-Wing，这是一个科技发明，因此会出现在报纸的科技部分，故选B。
C
Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I’ve seen friends deal with it all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself(懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,” she said.
“He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.” He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed (供认) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.
“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.
8. This passage is most probably written by ________.
A. a specialist in teenager studies
B. a headmaster of a middle school
C. a parent with teenage children
D. a doctor for mental health problems
9. The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as ________.
A. lazy B. rude C. unusual D. quiet
10. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”.
A. the parents’ opinion B. the terrible animal
C. the teenage problem D. the parents’ advice
11. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters ________.
A. pay no attention to them
B. are too busy to look after them
C. have come to hate them
D. feel helpless to do much about them
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过几个好友的孩子出现的青少年问题，陈述了父母不应该因为青少年问题而责备自己。
【8题详解】
判断推理题。根据文章第一段中“Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. (父母应该停止责备自己，因为他们对此无能为力。我的意思是青少年问题。)”可知，作者是想通过劝说父母不要责备自己来说一些关于青少年问题的事情，由此可推知，写这篇文章的作者最有可能是一位青少年问题研究的专家。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Sprawling himself(懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. (他趴在沙发上，在我走进来的时候，他没有试图关掉他正在看的嘈杂的电视，他的问候只不过是匆匆瞥了我一眼。他的母亲很惭愧。)”可知，这个躺在沙发上的男孩对客人非常不礼貌。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第一段中“Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem.(父母不应该再责怪自己，因为他们无能为力。我是说青少年问题。)”可知，第一段提出父母不应该为青少年问题而责怪自己，第二段第一句“I’ve seen friends deal with it all kinds of different ways. (我见过朋友们以各种不同的方式处理它。)”后举例男孩躺在沙发上对客人不礼貌来说明父母处理青少年问题的不同方式，由此可知，第二段中it指代的是青少年问题。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home. (其中一个女儿最近被赶出了学校。另一个已经离家出走。)”及最后一段““Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents. (“我们哪里做错了？”她的父母现在非常伤心。可能无处可去。至少，不比那个不幸的种族的其余部分更多，父母。)”可知，两个女孩的父母如今不知所措，非常无助，不知道改如何去做。故选D。
D
When I was a child, I often saw my Grandma throwing bread that was no longer fresh to birds. Not surprisingly, this attracted few birds. Later on, we discovered bird food at the local store. Feeding garden birds in the UK has come a long way since then. Today, the birds can enjoy many kinds of food: from plant seeds to sunflower hearts and from cakes to meat balls. All this comes at a huge cost of about £200m a year. Sometimes, I wonder if we might be feeding our garden birds better than our kids. But maybe it’s worth it. Our generosity is having an important effect on the behavior and even evolution of these birds.
Take the goldfinch for example. In the 1960s, this was a rare bird. Today, goldfinches can be seen in many gardens. Other new visitors include the spotted woodpecker, which has left its usual woodland for food on bird tables. Evolution is meant to progress slowly: over thousands of years. Yet during the past few decades, the beaks of many kinds of birds have become longer because birds with longer beaks can get more food, and then are more likely to live on.
Actually, the British habit of feeding garden birds goes back much further. During the sixth century, St Serf of Fife fed a robin in his garden; during the winter of 1890, workers in London were seen giving their lunches to songbirds. The real change took place in the 1980s, when a few farsighted businessmen realized that encouraging the British to be more generous to garden birds can help them make money. Therefore, various kinds of bird food and modern bird feeders were produced. As a result, the number of species using garden feeding stations increased very quickly, from about 10 to over 100. Then, in 2005, Springwatch came, which turned our love of garden birds into an entertainment show.
Is bird feeding completely good for birds? Not everyone thinks so. Studies by the Zoological Society of London have shown that by bringing together many birds, bird feeders may help the spread of disease. In Australia, some bird experts believe—probably wrongly—that bird feeding creates a “dependence culture”.
But we shouldn’t forget one major benefit of feeding garden birds—it connects millions of people to the natural world. This is especially important for people who seldom reach the wider countryside. As I write this, there comes some noise outside my window: several birds were singing and flying around in my garden. It’s a sight I could only imagine years ago, when feeding garden birds just meant throwing hard bread to them.
12. What does the author mean by saying the underlined part in Paragraph 1?
A. Feeding garden birds is a huge waste of money.
B. We spend quite a lot of money on the food of garden birds.
C. We should care more for our kids rather than garden birds.
D. Feeding garden birds can bring more joy than feeding kids.
13. Which is the reason behind the fact that many birds’ beaks become longer?
A. These birds have given up traditional woodland. B. Food for these birds becomes richer and better.
C. Longer beaks mean more chances of survival. D. These birds grow faster than ever before.
14. What do some bird experts in Australia think of bird feeding?
A. It is completely good for birds.
B. It may help the spread of disease.
C. It connects more and more people to the natural world.
D. It may reduce birds’ ability to find food by themselves.
15. How does the author feel when he hears bird noise outside his window?
A Annoyed. B. Pleased. C. Surprised. D. Bored.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如今英国人的喂食花园鸟类的行为展开论述。文章介绍了人类的喂食行为对鸟类进化的影响，英国人喂养花园鸟类的习惯的历史以及人们对喂鸟行为的看法等。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线部分上文“Today, the birds can enjoy many kinds of food: from plant seeds to sunflower hearts and from cakes to meat balls. All this comes at a huge cost of about £200m a year.”可知，如今，这些鸟可以享用很多食物：从植物种子到葵花籽，从蛋糕到肉丸。所有这些都要花费每年大约2亿英镑的巨大成本，所以作者认为人们在花园的鸟食上花费了太多的钱，即划线部分意思为“我们花了很多钱在花园的鸟食上”。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Yet during the past few decades, the beaks of many kinds of birds have become longer because birds with longer beaks can get more food, and then are more likely to live on.(然而在过去的几十年里，许多种类的鸟的喙变长了，因为长喙的鸟可以得到更多的食物，从而更有可能生存下去)”可知，许多鸟的喙变长了，这背后的原因是长喙意味着更多的生存机会。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In Australia, some bird experts believe—probably wrongly—that bird feeding creates a ‘dependence culture’.(在澳大利亚，一些鸟类专家认为喂鸟可能是错误的——鸟类喂养创造了一种‘依赖文化’)”可知，澳大利亚的一些鸟类专家认为喂鸟是错误的，因为喂鸟可能会降低鸟类自己寻找食物的能力，造成对人类的依赖。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But we shouldn’t forget one major benefit of feeding garden birds—it connects millions of people to the natural world. This is especially important for people who seldom reach the wider countryside. As I write this, there comes some noise outside my window: several birds were singing and flying around in my garden. It’s a sight I could only imagine years ago, when feeding garden birds just meant throwing hard bread to them.(但是我们不应该忘记给花园里的鸟喂食的一个主要好处——它把数百万人与自然世界联系在一起。这对很少到更广阔的农村地区的人来说尤其重要。当我写这篇文章的时候，窗外传来了一些声音:几只鸟儿在我的花园里唱歌、飞翔。这是我多年前只能想象的景象，当时给花园里的鸟儿喂食只是向它们扔硬面包)”可推知，当作者听到窗外鸟鸣时，他感觉很高兴。故选B。

*____18____
Breathing deeply can often help regulate anxious physical symptoms. When you breathe in deeply, not only does oxygen enter your body, but you also have to take a minute to change what you are doing. Sometimes when you take yourself out of a stressful situation for a while, you can gain a completely new understanding of what’s going on. Try to stop and take deep breaths whenever you start to feel anxious.
*Pay attention to triggers（诱因）.
____19____In some cases, these things may be obvious, but at other times, you may have trouble identifying them. You can start writing down what happens to you in a journal so that you can rule out certain events and habits.
Anxiety is a part of life, but it doesn’t have to prevent you from living the life you want. There are many ways to change your life and habits.____20____
A. Learn how to breathe.

空格前说“For example, if you have a big test, or when you don’t know how an event will turn out, you are likely to be anxious.（例如，如果你有一个大的考试，或者当你不知道一个事件将如何发展时，你很可能会焦虑。）”，空格后“Here are tips to reduce your symptoms（症状）.（下面是一些减轻症状的小窍门。）”引出一些小窍门，B选项“Living with anxiety isn’t easy.（生活在焦虑中并不容易。）”道明了下面的一些小窍门的必要性，起到承上启下的作用，因此B选项符合语境，故选B。
【17题详解】
本段首句“Getting the proper amount of sleep at night is important.（晚上有适量的睡眠是很重要的。）”是主题句，表明本段主要是讲睡眠的重要性，G选项“Try to go to sleep at the same time each night, even on the weekends.（试着每晚在同一时间睡觉，即使是在周末。）”讲明了要如何睡眠，空后的“doing this”指的是G选项中的“go to sleep at the same time each night”，因此G选项承上启下，符合语境，故选G。
【18题详解】
空格处是本段的小标题，由空格下方的“Breathing deeply can often help regulate anxious physical symptoms.（深呼吸通常可以帮助调节焦虑的身体症状。）”可知，本段主要讲的是“呼吸”，A选项“Learn how to breathe.（学会呼吸。）”概括了本段的主题，可作为小标题，故选A。
【19题详解】
空格后说“In some cases, these things may be obvious, but at other times, you may have trouble identifying them.（在某些情况下，这些东西可能很明显，但在其他时候，您可能很难识别它们。）”，E选项“You should start to remove the things that trouble you.（你应该开始清除那些困扰你的东西。）”中的“the things that trouble you”和空后的“these things”相一致，因此E选项引出下文，符合语境，故选E。
【20题详解】
空格前说“Anxiety is a part of life, but it doesn’t have to prevent you from living the life you want. There are many ways to change your life and habits.（焦虑是生活的一部分，但它并不会阻止你过上你想要的生活。有很多方法可以改变你的生活和习惯。）”，F选项“Be sure to take care of yourself and reduce the stress in your life.（一定要照顾好自己，减少生活中的压力。）”呼应了本文的主题，即“减少压力”，因此F选项可总结全文，符合语境，故选F。
