19、m a swim in a stream near their home village when they heard the screams corning from the water. She was shocked to see her 9-year-old friend Latoya Muwani being dragged into the water by a crocodile. While all the other children were running scared， Rebecca ran toward the water， jumped on top of th

20、e crocodile and started beating it with her bare fists。 However, that didnt seem to bother the crocodile at all， so she then used her fingers to gouge its eyes out until it loosened its grasp of Latoya. Once she was free, Rebecca swam with her to the bank。Surprisingly, the 11yearold heroine managed

21、to save her young friend without suffering any wounds, while Latoya was lucky to escape with just mild wounds that were later treated at a regional hospital. Latoyas parents praised Rebeccas courage and thanked her for saving their daughters life. “I was at work when I learnt that my daughter had be

37、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。“Its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components,” sa

38、id 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 goahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off th

39、e 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 we

40、ll， but then has to be matched well to everything its 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

41、this first robotic fly is linked to a small， offboard power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a builtin 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 a

42、round，” 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

43、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。”32Which of the following statements was the difficulty enginee

44、rs met while making the robotic fly?AThey did not have sufficient fund。 BNo ready-made components were available.CThere was no model in their mind. DIt was hard for them to assemble the components.33What do we know about the robotic fly?AThe robotic fly has been put into wide application.BThe roboti

45、c fly consists of a flight device and a control system.CThe robotic fly can collect information from many sources。DThe robotic fly can fly well with the cooperation of individual components.34Which of the following can be learned from the passage?AThe robotic fly can replace animals in some experime

46、nts。BAnimals are not allowed in biological experiments。CThe robotic fly is designed to learn about insects.DThere used to be few ways to study how insects fly。35Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?AThe Development of Robotic Fly BRobotic Fly Promotes Engineering ScienceCHar

48、up when we fail-but in reality， we do。”Manalo and Manu, a professor of learning sciences in Swiss， put together a special issue (专利) last December on benefiting from failure. The issues 15 studies provide teachers and educational researchers with a guide for achieving success. _37_ Another confirmed

49、 that advice on failures is most constructive when the receiver is prepared to experience unpleasant feelings.Manalo and his coauthors also focused on overcoming one everyday form of failure: not completing a task. They asked 131 students to write an article about their school experiences. Half of t

50、he students received instructions for their writing， and half were left to their own。 _38_ Afterward the researchers found that those in the instructed group were more willing to complete their articles, compared with those who lacked guidance-even if the latter were closer to being done。 _39_40_ St

51、ephanie Couch, the director of the Lemelson-MIT Program， holds the opinion. Couch, whose work was also featured in the special issue, says that we should tell them to think of failure as part of a process toward success。A。 However, all were stopped before finishing。B. The saying shows the importance

52、 of success.C。 Teaching students not to fear failure makes goals achieved more easily.D。 One study reported that the sooner students fail， the sooner they can move forward.E。 Though having some truth to it， the saying does not tell us how to turn a loss into a win.F。 They believed that learning how

53、to fail can help people avoid becoming lasting failures.G。 Knowing how to finish, in other words, was more important than being close to finishing.第三部分：英语知识应用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空 （共20小题；每小题1。5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D的四个选项中选出可以填入空处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。My father never kept anything for emotional pu
