aircrafts.Bendable wings covered with overlapping(部分重叠)pieces resembling fish sizes could be used to build swifter,fuel-efficient aircraft,a new study finds.Nowadays,conventional aircrafts typically rely on ailerons(副翼)to help control the way the planes tip as they fly.However,when the Wright brothers flew the first airplane,Flyer 1,over a century ago,they used no ailerons but wires and pulleys that twisted the wood-and-canvas wings,to control the plane,Scientists have long sought to develop aircrafts that can alter their wings during flight,just as birds can.However,most previous attempts have failed because they relied on heavy mechanical control structures within the wings.These structures were also complex and unreliable,said Neil Gershenfeld,a physicist and director of the Center for Bits and Atoms at Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT).The new wing consists of a system of tiny,strong,lightweight modules.The shape of the wing can be changed uniformly along its length using two small motors,which apply a twisting pressure to each wingtip.These wings are covered in“skins”of overlapping strips of flexible material resembling fish sizes.These strips move across each other as the wings alter,providing a smooth outer surface,the researchers explained.Wind-tunnel tests of these wings showed that they at least matched the aerodynamic properties of conventional wings,at about one-tenth the weight.Initial tests using remotely piloted aircrafts made with these wings have shown great promise,said Benjamin Jenett,a graduate student at the Center for Bits and Atoms at MIT.The new modular structures the scientists developed could be manufactured quickly in mass quantities and then installed by teams of small robots.These modular structures also can be disassembled more easily,making repairs simpler.“Still,the first aircraft built using this strategy will not be a passenger jet,”Gershenfeld said.“Instead,the technology will likely first be tested on unmanned aircraft,leading to drones(无人机)that can fly for a long time,to help deliver internet access or medicine to remote villages and do some rescue works.”1、Why did most previous aircrafts fail to fly like birds?AThe previous wings were complicated and weighed a lot.BThe previous aircraft relied on ailerons to control directions.CThere were few scientists to do research on the lighter wings.DThere was little fuel in the aircrafts to make them fly in the air.2、What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?AThe shape of the new wings.BThe result of the tested wings.CThe function of the small motors.DThe working principle of the new wings.3、Which of the following can replace the underlined word“disassembled”in Paragraph 6?Aput away Btaken apart Cinvented Danalyzed 4、What will the drones made by the new wings be firstly used to do?ACarry passengers.BSave people in danger.CTest planes.DMonitor the villages.23（8 分）Have you ever pressed the pedestrian button at a crosswalk and wondered if it really worked?Theyre called“placebo(安慰剂）buttons”一buttons that mechanically sound and can be pushed，but provide no functionality.In New York City,only about 100 of the 1,000 crosswalk buttons actually function.Crosswalk signals were generally installed before traffic jam had reached todays levels.But while their function was taken over by more advanced systemssuch as automated lights or traffic sensors the physical buttons were often kept,rather than being replaced at further expense.Other cities，such as Boston，Dallas and Seattle，have gone through a similar process,leaving them with their own placebo pedestrian buttons.In London,which has 6,000 traffic signals,pressing the pedestrian button results in a reliable“Wait”light.But that doesnt necessarily mean that the“green man”or“pedestrian stage”in traffic signal design profession will appear any sooner.“We do have some crossings where the green light comes on automatically,but we still ask people to press the button because that enables accessible features,said Glynn Barton,director of network management at Transport for London.These features,such as blind tracks and hearable traffic signals,help people with visual disorder cross the road and only function when the button is pressed.As for the lights,a growing number of them are now combined and become a part of an electronic system that detects traffic and adjusts time frequency accordingly(giving priority to buses if theyre running late,for example),which means that pressing the button has no effect.According to Langer,a Harvard psychologist,placebo buttons give us the illusion(错觉)of control and something to do in situations where the alternative would be doing nothing.In the case of pedestrian crossings,they may even make us safer by forcing us to pay attention to our surroundings.“They serve a psychological purpose at the very least,”she added.1、Why are the physical buttons still kept in some cities?ABecause it may cost money to replace them.BBecause they remain as memories of a city.CBecause do have real functions in traffic.DBecause they can result in reliable lights.2、Which of the following word can replace the underline word“features”in Paragraph 4?AFunctions.BUses.CEquipment.DFacilities.3、If you pressed a“placebo button”in London,what would happen?AAll traffic would be affected.BSome kind of sound might appear.CPedestrians came first to cross the road.D“Green man”were bound to show up earlier.4、What can we know about“placebo buttons”from Langers words?AThey can really control traffic.BThey serve little functions.CThey may work mentally.DThey can help the blind.24（8 分）Friday would be Samia and Salems wedding day!Everyone in the village was excited and was busy preparing for the happy event.The

30 years.He made money in the.dotcom boom but got his fingers burned when the bubble burst in March 2000.When he got access to his pension he decided to start investing again,this time with the help of his son Sam.Now the two meet up most afternoons at Stephens home in Sandbach,Cheshire to talk about investments.The day starts at 7 am when Sam looks at company announcements online.These regulatory announcements can include a firms accounts,general updates or news of mergers(合并)or acquisitions.Sam flags up companies that he thinks look interesting to his dad who then does some more research.Each has an ISA(Individual Savings Account)with AJ Bell,which they use to buy individual stocks and shares.It is a risky way to invest but the two like doing their own research on companies and Stephen makes an effort to go to investor presentations and try to meet the CEO and directors of the firms they invest in and to speak to other investors in the companies.They have invested in oil companies and pet care businesses,to name just a few.But while the investments of the two men are similar,they do have different approaches.While Sam likes to hold shares for the long term as he is saving money for his future retirement,Stephen likes to buy with any profits he makes.Sam says,“We do not argue because we have separate ISAs.It means finally we make our own decisions about which shares to invest in.The only time we might have a disagreement is when we both want to use the login for the news service at the same time.”1、What happened to Stephen in 2000?AHe had to retire from the agency.BHe gave away all his pensions.CHe got injured in an accident.DHe suffered a loss in his investment.2、What does the underlined words“flags up”in Paragraph 2 mean?AMarks.BAbandons.CTakes ov
