pearson says it may have been sucked down beneath the earth s surface as tectonic plates shifted.28. according to the text, the water in the ringwoodite sample proves that _ in the deep earth.a. there are oceans of water b. there are a lot of oases c. there are wet spots d. there are many diamonds29. what can we learn from the text? a. ringwoodite samples can usually be found in brown diamonds. b. the ringwoodite sample could help scientists better understand the shifting of tectonic plates. c. the ringwoodite sample was probably formed by a volcanic eruption. d. whether the water theory is true remains to be proved.30. hans keppler s attitude towards the water theory is_ . a. supportive b. objective c. cautious d. opposed31. the water probably came from _ if it actually exists.a. rainwater accumulated for a long timeb. water pulled down when tectonic plates shiftedc. water pulled down during the formation of the desertd. water pulled down when earthquakes happened da sharks skin is covered with tiny teeth or “denticles”(小齿) which aid swimming. engineers have tried to mimic the roughness of shark skin when designing swimsuits and even racing cars. but the denticles have never been so well reproduced before, says a report in the journal of experimental biology.george lauder and his colleagues took a detailed scan of a tiny square of skin from a mako shark, and built a 3d model of a single denticle, just 0.15mm long. the challenge was then to make a synthetic（合成的）skin. it took them about a year.3d printing builds up new objects layer by layer, following a computer-generated design. to print the shark skin, the scientists had to use two different materials for the hard, tooth-like structures and for the flexible base -much like the different colored inks used to print a picture. the particular shape of the denticles also posed difficulties: “because theyre overhung（悬臂式的）, the 3d printers have to print a supporting material, which you then have to remove” professor lauder told the bbc. “it took a while to work out all the tricks.”the artificial skin has impressed oliver crimmen, a fish expert at the natural history museum who has previously advised speedo on swimsuit design. “i used to think: how on earth would you mimic that complex structure accurately?” he said. “3d printing is it -what a wonderful application for it.”because the resolution (分辨率）of even the latest 3d printers is limited, the artificial denticles are about 10 times larger than the real ones seen on the skin of a mako shark. nevertheless, when the team stuck the new artificial skin onto a small, flexible paddle (桨) and studied it in a water tank, they were able to see the benefit that sharks get from their unusual scales. a paddle with the new, toothy skin delivered a boost of up to 6.6% in swimming speed, compared to one coated with the smooth skin alone. the artificial denticles also allowed the paddle to travel the same simulated distance while using 5.9% less energy. “thats a huge effect, when factored over the entire lifetime of an animal that is constantly swimming.”said professor lauder. 32. what does the underlined word “mimic” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?a. understand b. study c. imitate d. produce33.the third paragraph is mainly about the _.a. advantages of 3d printing technologyb. materials used for the tooth-like structures and the flexible basec. choices of the colors used in printing the denticlesd. challenges and difficulties researchers faced when doing the research34. according to the last paragraph, the paddle with the toothy skin_.a. was ten times smaller than the real oneb. had an increase of over 5.9% in swimming speedc. was more flexible than the one with smooth skind. used less energy compared with the smoothy one over the same simulated distance35. what is the passage mainly about?a. 3d printing reveals the benefits of shark skin.b. an introduction to the sharks advantages in the ocean.c. the special function of sharks teeth in their daily life.d. scientists have built a 3d model of a shark.第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。how to love your parents even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. you love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part a source of who you are. here are some ways to love your parents. _36_ a gentle “good morning” and “i love you” will warm a coldest heart. remember that they brought you into this world. without your parents, we might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world. respect them more and cherish these moments. you can use these moments to learn from them when youre off on your own. its ok to get angry but angry actions dont help you or your parents. act calmly, cool off, journal about your feelings, or talk to a friend. _37_ obey their requests. it will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them. it may seem like you are going through hell when you dont get what you want or you have to clean. however, you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when its cold, raining, snowing, or too hot. understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes._38_ since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?
