Ready for takeoff, it raises its wings, springs into the air and flaps away. This series of actions is so common that you probably do not pay it much attention. But University of Manchester bioinechanical engineer Ben Parslew does. He is trying to design robots that can jump like birds.Most conventional robots roll around on wheels, limiting mobility. There is a need for more agile robots that can jump over obstacles in messy environments, Parslew says. To design such a machine, he turned to nature: Birds are really good jumpers, he notes.The trouble is, when birds start to take off, they lean so far forward that they should tip over and fall onto their beaks(喙). Yet that does not happen. Parslew and his team used computer modeling to discover how birds avoid this fate. They discovered that birds twist their bodies slightly towards the back while accelerating into a jump. They also have flexible legs and toe joints, which prevent them from taking off briefly and immediately crashing into the ground. The result were published last October in Royal Society Open Science.Parslew thinks engineers can use this information to design robots that can not only jump well but also launch into flight more. efficiently. University of Southern California biomechanist Michael Habib, who was not involved in the study, says springs and levers(杠杆)enable more rapid acceleration-than wheels do. And many animals are masters of springs and levers.“If you can understand how that works,”Habib adds, “you can build a robot thats good at running around and good at flying, and it will also be good at taking off suddenly in all kinds of conditions and landing on a dime.”Parslew is now designing such a robot, as an alternative to wheeled rovers for exploring other planets.21.What is right about the dove mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. It takes off very beautifully.B. It catches everyones attention.C. It gives Ben Parslew inspiration.D. It raises Ben Parslews curiosity.22.What can we-infer about the traditional robots?A. They cant jump over barriers.B. They can only move in one direction.C. They cant detect barriers before them.D. They cant adapt to complex environments.23.How does a bird avoid falling when taking off?A. By getting rid of gravity.B. By flapping its wings hard.C. By spinning its body backward.D. By jumping into the air quickly.24.What is the main idea of the text?A. Birds provide inspiration. for humans.B. New robots that can jump have been created.C. The development of robots benefits space exploreD. Studying birds jumping helps scientist build better robots.B Solar energy systems & power plants do not produce air pollution, water pollution, or greenhouse gases. Using solar energy can have a positive, indirect effect on the environment, when solar energy replaces or reduces the use of other energy sources that have larger effects on the environment.However, some poisonous materials and chemicals are used to make the photovoltaic ( 光电池的) cells that convert sunlight into electricity. Some solar thermal (保热的) systems use potentially hazardous liquids to transfer heat. Leaks of these materials could be harmful to the environment. U. S. environmental laws regulate the use and settlement of these types of materials.As with any type of power plant, large solar power plants can affect the environment near their locations. The placement of the power plant may have long-term effects on the habitats of native plants and animals. Some solar power plants may require water for cleaning solar collectors and concentrators or for cooling turbine generators. Using large volumes of ground water or surface water in some dry locations may affect the ecosystems that depend on these water resources. In addition, the beam of concentrated sunlight a solar power tower creates can kill birds and insects that fly into the beam.The amount of solar energy that the earth receives each day is many times greater than the total amount of all energy that people consume each day. However, on the surface of the earth, solar energy is a variable and irregular energy source. The amount of sunlight and the intensity of sunlight varies by time of day and location. Weather and climate conditions affect the availability of sunlight daily and on a seasonal basis. The type and size of a solar energy collection and conversion system determines how much of the available solar energy we can convert into useful energy.25.Which of the following best explains hazardous underlined in paragraph 2?A. inexpensiveB. dangerousC. ineffectiveD. abnormal26.What influence can large solar power plants have on the locations?A. Polluting the ground water.B. Protecting the habitats of plants and animals.C. Damaging the local natural balance.D. Attracting birds and insects to the area.27.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A. Different areas receive different amount of solar energy.B. How to convert solar energy into useful energy.C. The relationship between solar energy collection and the sunlight.D. Some factors that influence the amount of solar energy collection.C I thought we all knew why independent school students do better than those in the state sector(公立学校). They have more money, more funding and better resources and they dont have the more challenging students we get in the state sector.That was before I became a teacher-researcher in a two-year project led by my college, aiming to find the best way to support high-ability students. With funding from the London Schools Excellence Fund, we teamed up with some of the countrys top private schools, like Eton and St Pauls, as well as a number of state schools, to find out how to bring the knowledge-rich learning that characterizes independent schools into the state sector.Before the project, I hadnt had much contact with people who had been educated there. But the first thing I found when I visited was that teachers are the same. In the independent sector, they have challenges toojust different ones.After two years, our research project has produced a huge set of findings.One of the most useful findings was the importance of independent learning habits outside the classroom. I realized that although I was always telling students that they needed to do four to five hours of private study a week, they didnt have a clear idea of what this could look like beyond making notes. So I set them different activities including reading articles, doing activities and completing examination questions.I started to put much more emphasis on activities outside the classroom, like researching topics beyond the syllabus(教学大纲) or discussing things in the news. And I praised anyone who asked questions in class, so we created a culture where students were proud to ask a question rather than seeing it as a way of flagging up the fact that they hadnt understood something.My research is beginning to have a real influence. My students now come to class and tell me what they want to know about. But they no longer expect me to do the researchthey want to find out for themselves. At the end of the year I gave students a questionnaire on independent learning. One wrote, “Independent learning would limit the help I got from other students. It helps you to think for yourself.”28.What did the author say about independent school students before her research?A. They were troublemakers.B. They enjoyed excellent learning conditions.C. They performed worse than state school students.D. They faced the same challenges as state school students.29.Why did the author join the project?A. To introduce good learning methods to state schools.B. To exchange teaching ideas with other teachers.C. To partner with other schools in education.D. To find enough funds for state schools.30.What changes did the author make in her classes?A. She focused on group learning.B. She worked out a different syllabus.C. She encouraged independent learning.D. She carried out various activities in class.31.How is the authors research going?A. It has made a big difference.B. It has failed to make progress.C. It is questioned by her students.D. It involves many more students.D An international team of researchers from the University of Oxford have found that the way people use the Internet is closely tied to the seasonal movements in the natural world. Their online species searches follow the patterns of seasonal animal migrations (迁徙).Migratory birds (候鸟) flood back to where they reproduce every spring. That migratory behavior is accompanied by some human behavior. “In English-language Wikipedia (维基百科), the online searches for migratory species tend to increase in spring when those birds arrive in the United States,” said the lead author John Mittermeier.And not just birds. Mittermeier and his team surveyed nearly 2.5 billion Wikipedia search records, for 32,000 species, across 245 languages. They also saw variable search rates for insects, horsetails and flowering plants. Seasonal trends seemed to be widespread in Wikipedia behavior for many species of plants and animals.This finding suggests new ways to monitor changes in the worlds biological diversity. It also shows new ways to see how much people care about nature, and which species and areas might be the most effective targets for conservation.Mittermeier is encouraged by the search results. He commented, “I think theres a concern among conservationists (生态环境保护者) that people are losing touch with the natural world and that theyre not interacting with native species anymore. And so in that sense, it was really exciting and quite unexpected for me to see peoples Wikipedia interest closely related to changes in nature.”Richard Grenyer, Associate Professor from the University of Oxford, says search data is useful to conservation biologists, “By using these big data approaches, we can direct our attention towards the difficult questions in modern conservation: which species and areas are changing, and where are the people who care the most and can do the most to help.”32.What have researchers found about species searches?A. They strengthen ties among people.B. They affect the animal movements.C. They differ in language backgrounds.D. They reflect animal migration seasons.33.What is the purpose of writing Paragraph 3?A. To summarize the research process.B. To further support the research findings.C. To show the variety of species searches.D. To present researchers heavy work load.34.How does Mittermeier feel about the search results?A. Satisfied with Wikipedias service.B. Worried about Wikipedia behavior.C. Amazed at peoples care about nature.D. Sad about peoples not getting close to nature.35.Why does Richard think such search data is useful?A. It helps to aim at conservation targets.B. It increases interest in big data approaches.C. It keeps track of trends in biologistswork.D. It pushes people to solve difficult problems.第二节.七选五 (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。Helpful ways to deal with a know-it-all friendSometimes having a friend who thinks she knows everything and always offers her unsolicited(主动提供的) advice can really make one upset.
