19、izes 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

20、 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

21、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 al

22、ong 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.Wi

23、nd-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

24、 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

25、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

26、 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 mai

27、nly 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

28、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，b

29、ut 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 sen

30、sors 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 r

31、esults 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

32、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 no

33、w 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 illu

34、sion(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

35、 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?AFuncti

36、ons.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 wor

37、ds?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 villagers were very proud of Salem as he worked lon

47、me 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 direc

48、tors 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

49、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 lo
