21、 A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated 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 tasks.
“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components,” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually 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 interdependencies on 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. 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 manufactured.
While this first robotic fly is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering 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 insect-scale. 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 day to day basis.”
【1】Which of the following statements was the difficulty engineers met while making the robotic fly?
A.They did not have sufficient fund.
B.No ready-made components were available.
C.There was no model in their mind.
D.It was hard for them to assemble the components.
【2】What do we know about the robotic fly?
A.The robotic fly has been put into wide application.
B.The robotic fly consists of a flight device and a control system.
C.The robotic fly can collect information from many sources.
D.The robotic fly can fly well with the cooperation of individual components.
【3】Which of the following can be learned from the passage?
A.The robotic fly can replace animals in some experiments.
B.Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.
C.The robotic fly is designed to learn about insects.
D.There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.
【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A.The Development of Robotic Fly
B.Robotic Fly Promotes Engineering Science
C.Harvard’s Efforts in Making Robotic Fly
D.Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect
22、The trouble with school is that you can’t choose the people you get to see every day. If you’re unlucky enough to be stuck with classmates who don’t really “get” you, you’ve just got to try to make the best of it.
But that doesn’t mean you need to “fit in”, or at least in the way that people think. If you try to transform yourself into a clone of everyone else, it won’t help you make friends. It’ll just make you feel like a fake.
You also shouldn’t shut down or refuse to be friends with everyone who doesn’t like you. If you do that, you’ll just make yourself miserable. Instead, you’ve got to work on being comfortable and confident with whom you are while ignoring all the haters. Keep on speaking up, asking questions and getting to know people better. If you send out positive energy, then people will generally send some back to you. A couple of them will stay the same, and you’re allowed to forget about them.
If you feel like you’re doing all that but still not getting anywhere, then don’t give up. Just expand your circle. Get a part-time job at a cool-looking place, join an after-school art class or youth group—do whatever it takes to find a couple of like-minded people to connect with. Even if you don’t find anyone right away, you’ll still be getting some more social experiences under your belt, and that’s always a good thing.
A fun book called Uncool, by Erin Elisabeth Conley, has some tips for folks like you who want to stay positive at school while being true to your personality:
·Throw caution to the wind.
·Don’t tolerate others’ mistakes.
·Have patience with people who are different from you.
·Don’t change just because someone else thinks you should.
·Know that even though you may be a misfit, there’s always some place where you will be welcomed in the world.

23、 A decade ago, colored lights danced around the living room on New Year's Eve and happy music was played. Upstairs, the children were asleep. But I wasn't feeling happy. In mid-December, my husband and I had been informed that he had cancer and that he was going to die. He had less than a year left, the doctors said.
In the years since that painful season, I have come to look back upon New Year's Eve as an ending and a beginning. New Year's Eve brings a halt to the endless commitments that fill our daily lives and a chance to reflect.
New Year's Eve is full of possibility, and anticipation. What will be the surprising experiences and delightful successes in the coming year? But also, what disappointments are waiting for us in the next twelve months?
In many ways, New Year's Eve and the days that surround it are a line between past and future. That line is made up of a series of moments of transition that take us out of the old and into the new. Transition can be challenging for many of us. It's about letting go of the familiar and diving headlong （迅猛地）into the unfamiliar.
Just as, back then, I had to face letting go of the life I had led with my beloved husband and stepping into a new world as a widowed（丧偶的）mom. I find that each year I have to step out of the version of me that suited the year that is ending and ease into the version of me who will rise to the goals I am holding for myself for the year ahead.
Last year at this time, I sat in a chair in southern France and drank in the stillness and beauty of the countryside around me. The three children and I had brought into this world talked and laughed around the table beside me as we enjoyed a lunch of bread and cheese.
I was filled with a sense of joy and I had a glowing （热情洋溢的）heart that was full of hope. It was another ending and another beginning. May we all transition into the best of what lies ahead. May we all find happiness in this holiday season.
【1】What made the author unhappy on New Year's Eve a decade before?

B.Break with daily routines and form a new habit.
C.Spend more time with family members.
D.Think about the past and get ready for the future.
【4】What is the author's attitude toward the future?
A.Calm. B.Indifferent. C.Doubtful. D.Expectant.
【5】What is the main purpose of the article?

24、Do you have the feeling that your refrigerator is always in a mess? There is hope. Do what the chefs in restaurant kitchens do.【1】It helps the cooks work faster and it reduces the amount of wasted food. Here is how you can keep your contents in the refrigerators in order.
Step one is to take everything out of your refrigerator. Everything. That includes the moldy meat sauce and jars with half-eaten contents.【2】
Now you are ready to refill the refrigerator. Do not treat it like a junk drawer for food.【3】Your fridge may come with some zones that are set aside, such as crisper drawers and cheese drawers. Restaurants keep smaller containers together on rimmed baking sheets. The sheets are easy to pull out and it is easy to look at their contents.
You should know about food safety. It can help you decide what should go where in your refrigerator. Refrigerators are coldest toward their back and bottom. They are warmer on the top shelf. They are warmest in the door. The door is great for condiments (酱料) with a long shelf life such as jam, mustard, and hot sauce.【4】Raw meat should always go at the bottom of the refrigerator.
【5】One rule is FIFO. It means “first in, first out”. New leftover food should always go to the back of the refrigerator, pushing older food to the front of the line. It means older food will get used up first.
A．They are easy to tidy up.
B．Leftovers are a problem.
C．Don’t buy too much food.
D．If you do not love them, throw them out.
E．They follow rules to keep storage areas tidy.
