Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and

30、D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Life in the ClearTransparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of a

31、bout 3,300 feet-as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless theyre eating it, or unless something is eating them.An

32、d they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It s trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter （散射）light, bouncing it away from its original p

33、ath. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesnt absorb or scatter light, at least not very much. Light can pass through it without bending or

34、stopping. That means a transparent object doesnt look very different from the surrounding air or water. You dont see it you see the things behind it.To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigmen

35、ts （色素）that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesnt have pigments, so its tissues wont absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials-skin, fat, an

36、d moreand light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is eas

37、ier to be see-through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-like （果冻状的） material and spread themselves over it.Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. The

38、y need to look uniform. But how theyre doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear: for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.56. According to Paragraph 1 transparent animals.A. stay in groupsB. can be easily damagedC

39、. appear only in deep oceanD. are beautiful creatures57. The underlined word dead in Paragraph 3 means.A. silentlyB.graduallyC. regularlyD.completely58. One way for an animal to become transparent is to.A. change the direction of light travelB.gather materials to scatter lightC. avoid the absorption

40、 of lightD.grow biggerto stop light59 The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals.A. move more slowly in deep waterstay see-through even after deathB. produce more tissues for their survivaltake effective action to reduce light spreading【答案】56.B57. D 58. C 59. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章解释了生

41、活在海洋的透明生物的特点，透明原理，以及形成机制。【56题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段第三行“Mostof them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch可知，透明动物是很容易受伤的。故选B。【57题详解】词义猜测题。该词出现在文章第三段第三行。前文提到了：你能看到的物体一种是对光线进行了散射；而 另外一种是对光线的吸收。既然吸收了，那在光的传播过程中就完全阻止了，因此这里dead是完全的意思。故选D。【58题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段第一句To become transparent, an animal

42、needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light.”可知，想变透明就要避免散射或吸收光线，因此其中的一个方法是C选项，避免光线的吸收。故选C。【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句中的“Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does.”

43、可知, 体型较大的 透明动物面临的挑战最大，因为它们必须让体内所有不同的组织减缓光线的速度，就像减缓水的速度一样。由此判断出，他在最后一段告诉我们，更大的透明动物会采取有效的行动来减少光的扩散。故选D。（B）Science fiction paints a future where robots play an important part in everyday life. A technology firm is trying to make that future a reality today with an affordable robot called Artibo. Artibo

44、 is small. Its brain, or AI block, is a cube （立方体）that fits in your hand. That block connects to a motor block and two silicon wheels. Assembled, its about four inches tall.Artibo is much more than just a robot that you program to move around. Artibos designers want it to provide companionship and b

45、e a resource for learning coding. With its camera, microphone and connection to a cloud-based AI, it can respond to voice commands or function like a walkie-talkie（对讲 机）.It talks like a chatbot and can tell bedtime stories. It can even help you learn other languages!Artibo isnt quite ready for store

46、s yet, though. Its part of a crowdfunding project. Crowdfunding is a program where you put a request online to a crowd of people. Supporters can then pay large or small amounts to help you finish a project. Artibo will first be available to people who have paid to help bring it into production.Using

47、 computer code to program your own toys is nothing new. LEGO first released a robot kit in 1998. Since then, programmable robots have become one of the best-selling units in the LEGO product line. Programming robots might sound comparable to rocket science, but anyone can program one using nothing m

48、ore than a tablet or a smartphone and code blocks.Code blocks allow you to program simple or complex commands by assembling visual blocks of code on the canvas （ 画布）of a computer screen. Just drag and drop a variety of code blocks from a programming menu, link them together, and watch how your robot responds. In Artibos case coding doesnt stop there. Unlike other similar programmable toys, Artibo will also allow you to write your own code. So as you
