Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all wc had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautifiil leather notebook I'd bought in a market in Mozambique.Southeni Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty-we hadn't seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving next to me. I glanced in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind thembrown, muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn't know how long they had been there next to us.I shouted to Dan: "Look!” , but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.“Wild horses?” he said. "Why didn't you wake me up?”“I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds."“Arc you sure you didn't drcam it?”“You were the one who was sleeping!w“Typical,“ he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take.zWe checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.24.

He had already taken beautiful pictures.C. A sound sleep was more important.D. The next trip would be belter.26. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to view wildlife in Africa.B. Running into wildlife in Africa.C. Tourist attractions in southern Africa.D. Possible dangers of travelling in Africa.CA 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. uThe 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 (hat the flying robot with these (iny components can be built and manufactured.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-hoard 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. uYou 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,r， 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.”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 piece together the components.27. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4?A. The robotic fly has been put into wide application.B. The robotic fly consists of a flight device and a control system.C. Information from many sources can be collected by the robotic fly.D. The robotic fly can just fly in limited areas at present.28. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A. Wood's design 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.29. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Development of Robotic FlyB. Robotic Fly Promotes Engineering ScienceC. Harvard's Efforts in Making Robotic FlyD. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life InsectI）Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional intelligence （情商）. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills/' Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor lo find how best （o help her patients, while a cheater might use it （o control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis （重视）on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although （he continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, wc hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives （视角）from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.30. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A. It can be measured by an IQ test.B. It helps to exercise a person's mind.C. It refers to a person's positive qualities.D. It includes a set of emotional skills.31. Why docs the author mention “doctor” and "cheater" in paragraph 2?A. To explain a rule.B. To present a fact.C. To make a prediction.D. To clarify a concept.32. What is the author's attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.33. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A. Its appeal to the public.B. Its practical application.C. Expectations for future studies.D. Scientists with new perspectives.第二节（共5小题;每题2分，总分值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正确选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。You've got mail.and it's a postcardPaulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly colored picture of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China's Great Wall. 36“I often send postcards to family and friends.z， he says to China Daily, 44but you can imagine that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it. 37" Seeking other like-minded souls, however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online. Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulo,s hunch （直觉）paid off.Today his hobby has developed into the website postcrossing , a social network that has grown to 575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. 38 Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job.Language is certainly a barrier （障碍）for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it. 39 So a common language is required and in postcrossing thafs English since it's widely spoken.“Many people in China have limited exposure to English.40 That said, we know ofmany postcrossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills through their use of postcrossing.，z Pa
