I have always lved the Arthurian legend (传奇), as there is smething quite special abut King Arthur, and f curse Merlin, my favurite character frm the stries.

If I had t chse just ne wrd t describe this nvel, there wuld be n ther chice than “immersive (身临其境的)”. There has clearly been a serius amunt f research carried ut by the authr.

As we all knw, insects can be remarkably agile (灵活的) in flight. This is really hard t build int flying rbts, but MIT Assistant Prfessr Kevin Yufeng Chen has develped an insect-sized drne (无人机) that appraches insects’ agility.
Typically, drnes require wide pen spaces. “If we lk at mst drnes tday, they’re usually quite big,” says Chen. “Mst f their applicatins invlve flying utdrs. The questin is: Can yu create an insect-sized drne that can mve arund in very crwded and cmplex spaces?”
Accrding t Chen, he vercame many prblems when building the drne. The insect-sized drne requires a fundamentally different cnstructin frm a larger ne. The large drne is usually pwered by a mtr, but the mtr lses efficiency as yu shrink it. S, Chen says, “Fr an insect-sized drne, yu need t lk fr alternatives.” The principal alternative until nw has been emplying a small, rigid actuatr (执行器) built frm new materials. Chen designed a mre agile tiny drne using sft actuatrs instead f hard nes.
Each actuatr can beat nearly 500 times per secnd and weighs just 0.6 gram, apprximately the mass f a large bee. It gives the drne insect-like agility. “Yu can hit it when it’s flying, and it can recver,” says Chen. “It can als turn ver in the air.” The drne lks a bit like a tiny cassette tape with wings, thugh Chen is als wrking n a new ne shaped like a dragnfly.
Chen says his drne can be useful in industry and agriculture. It can perfrm machinery inspectins t ensure safety and functin. Its ptential applicatins include cmpleting search-and-rescue missins fllwing a disaster. “All thse things can be very difficult fr existing large-scale drnes,” Chen explains.
8. What can we knw abut the actuatr designed by Chen?
A. It weighs abut six grams.
B. It drives the insect-sized drne.
C. It lses efficiency t much.
D. It emplys cnventinal materials.
9. Which wrd can best describe Chen’s wrk?
A. Easy.B. Cstly.C. Fruitless.D. Challenging.
10. What des the last paragraph mainly tell us abut the new drne?
A. Its safety standards.B. Its flying range.
C. Its pssible applicatins.D. Its design principle.
11. Which is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A. An Insect-like Small Drne
B. The Future f Insect-sized Drnes
C. Hw Drnes Will Change the Agriculture
D. What Challenge Drne Develpment Faces
D
A new study finds that less than seven percent f the adult ppulatin in the US have what health experts cnsider gd cardimetablic (心脏代谢) health.

Researchers als fund large health gaps between US adults f different genders, ages, and educatin levels. Specifically, the study fund Americans with less educatin were half as likely t be in peak cardimetablic health.
O’Hearn adds, “Identifying these individuals and addressing their health cnditins and lifestyle early is critical t reducing grwing healthcare burdens. Its impacts n natinal healthcare spending and the financial health f the entire ecnmy are enrmus. And these cnditins are largely preventable. We have the public health and clinical interventins and plicies t be able t address these prblems.”
12. What percentage f American adults had ptimal cardimetablic health in 2018?
A. Over 7 percent.B. Just 6.8 percent.
C. Arund 33 percent.D. Abut 60 percent.

14. What is the purpse f the team’s research?
A. T find the big age gap.B. T help peple keep fit.

As we all knw, insects can be remarkably agile (灵活的) in flight. This is really hard t build int flying rbts, but MIT Assistant Prfessr Kevin Yufeng Chen has develped an insect-sized drne (无人机) that appraches insects’ agility.
Typically, drnes require wide pen spaces. “If we lk at mst drnes tday, they’re usually quite big,” says Chen. “Mst f their applicatins invlve flying utdrs. The questin is: Can yu create an insect-sized drne that can mve arund in very crwded and cmplex spaces?”
Accrding t Chen, he vercame many prblems when building the drne. The insect-sized drne requires a fundamentally different cnstructin frm a larger ne. The large drne is usually pwered by a mtr, but the mtr lses efficiency as yu shrink it. S, Chen says, “Fr an insect-sized drne, yu need t lk fr alternatives.” The principal alternative until nw has been emplying a small, rigid actuatr (执行器) built frm new materials. Chen designed a mre agile tiny drne using sft actuatrs instead f hard nes.
Each actuatr can beat nearly 500 times per secnd and weighs just 0.6 gram, apprximately the mass f a large bee. It gives the drne insect-like agility. “Yu can hit it when it’s flying, and it can recver,” says Chen. “It can als turn ver in the air.” The drne lks a bit like a tiny cassette tape with wings, thugh Chen is als wrking n a new ne shaped like a dragnfly.
Chen says his drne can be useful in industry and agriculture. It can perfrm machinery inspectins t ensure safety and functin. Its ptential applicatins include cmpleting search-and-rescue missins fllwing a disaster. “All thse things can be very difficult fr existing large-scale drnes,” Chen explains.
8. What can we knw abut the actuatr designed by Chen?
A. It weighs abut six grams.
B. It drives the insect-sized drne.
C. It lses efficiency t much.
D. It emplys cnventinal materials.
9. Which wrd can best describe Chen’s wrk?
A. Easy.B. Cstly.C. Fruitless.D. Challenging.
10. What des the last paragraph mainly tell us abut the new drne?
A. Its safety standards.B. Its flying range.
C. Its pssible applicatins.D. Its design principle.
11. Which is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A. An Insect-like Small Drne
B. The Future f Insect-sized Drnes
C. Hw Drnes Will Change the Agriculture
D. What Challenge Drne Develpment Faces

Researchers als fund large health gaps between US adults f different genders, ages, and educatin levels. Specifically, the study fund Americans with less educatin were half as likely t be in peak cardimetablic health.
O’Hearn adds, “Identifying these individuals and addressing their health cnditins and lifestyle early is critical t reducing grwing healthcare burdens. Its impacts n natinal healthcare spending and the financial health f the entire ecnmy are enrmus. And these cnditins are largely preventable. We have the public health and clinical interventins and plicies t be able t address these prblems.”
12. What percentage f American adults had ptimal cardimetablic health in 2018?
A. Over 7 percent.B. Just 6.8 percent.
