9、 December?A.5:00 pm on Thursday.B.8:30 am on Wednesday.C4:3 0 pm on Friday.D.9:00 am on Saturday.B If you have ever tried to catch a resting butterfly,you know it is surprisingly difficult.A new study helps explain why.Previous research had suggested that a butterflys overhead wing clap forces the i

10、nsect forward.Researchers thought the wing clap likely formed a pocket of air that shoots out like a jet,but no one had tested that until now.To understand their flight,they placed six butterflies one at a time inside a wind tunnel which was filled with smoke and then used a laser to light up the sm

11、oke just behind the butterfly.Four high-speed cameras were placed in the tunnel to take photos of the movement of the butterfly and the-smoke as the butterfly was taking off.This let the researchers create a 3D picture of that air movement as the insect flapped its wings.They observed a total of 25

12、takeoffs by six butterflies.Each included up to three wing beats after takeoff.The butterflies proved more likely to clap their wings together during the first few wing beats than later in flight.The photos show that forces created by the wings give rise to a flight path.The butterflies rise as thei

13、r wings move down and shoot forward as their wings move up.A wing clap on takeoff,paired with a quick tum,allowed the butterflies to fly away quickly.They also noticed the wings formed an air pocket just before clapping and that the wings flexibility and this pocket improved the jet force created by

14、 the clap.“The study is exciting,”says Ayodeji Bode-Oke,a mechanical engineer in Charlottesville.That means“we have solved the longtime puzzle about how butterflies fly,and it proves nothing is impossible on the road of scientific research.I cant wait to learn about how the study might inform design

15、s for small aerial vehicles.”4.Why was laser used in the experiment?A.To frighten the butterflies into lying.B.To help researchers observe the butterflies.C.To help take clear photos of air movement.D.To guide the butterflies through the smoke.5.What is the finding of the research-according to parag

16、raph 5?A.Butterflies fly forward as wings move down.B.An air pocket forms after butterflies clap wings.C.Butterflies beat wings three times before taking off.D.Upward wing movements help butterflies fly forward.6.According to the writer,the finding of the research can be used for .A.helping catch a

17、resting butterfly more easily B.helping do research on other butterfly-like insects C.helping provide inspiration for making small flying vehicles D.helping widen the applications of small flying vehicle 7.What can be the best title for the text?A.Why Can Butterflies Fly Like a Jet?B.How Can Butterf

18、lies Make Wing Claps?C.How Can Butterflies Make Quick Tums?D.Why Can Butterflies Run Away Quickly?C Most people around the world are right-handed.This also seems to be true in history.In 1799,scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C.to the 1950s.Most of the people shown

19、 in these works are right-handed,so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history.Today,only about 10%to 15%of the worlds population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones?Scientists now know that a persons two hands each hav

20、e their own jobs.For most people,the left hand is used to find things or hold things.The right hand is used to work with things.This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain.The right side of the brain,which makes a persons hands and eyes work together,controls the left hand.Th

21、e left-side of the brain,which controls the right hand,is the centre for thinking and doing problems.These findings show that more artists should be left-handed,and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a

22、 person become right-handed instead of left-handed.Scientists have found that almost 40%of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born.However,this doesnt happen to everyone,so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed.One id

23、ea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents.If a person does not receive the gene(基因)for right-handedness,he/she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness,p

24、eople no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual.A long time ago,left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children,but today they dont have to.8.After studying works of art made at different times in history,the scientists found _.A.the art began from 1,500 B

25、.C.B.the works of art ended in the 1950s C.most people shown in the works of art are right-handed D.most people shown in the works of art are left-handed 9.What is the left hand for most people used to do?A.Its used to find or hold things.B.Its used to work with things.C.Its used to make a persons e

26、yes work together.D.Its the centre for thinking and doing problems.10.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?A.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.B.Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C.Today children are not made to use their right hands o

27、nly.D.Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.11.The best title for this passage is _.A.Scientists New Inventions B.Left-handed People C.Which Hand D.Different Brains,Different Hands D Why isnt science better?Look at career incentive(激励).There are oftensubstantial ga

28、ps between the idealized and actual versions of those people whose work involves providing a social good.Government officials are supposed to work for their constituents.Journalists are supposed to provide unbiased reporting and penetrating analysis.And scientists are supposed to relentlessly probe

29、the fabric of reality with the most rigorous and skeptical of methods.All too often,however,what should be just isnt so.In a number of scientific fields,published findings turn out not toreplicate(复制),or to have smaller effects than,what was initially claimed.Plenty of science does replicate meaning

30、 the experiments turn out the same way when you repeat them-but the amount that doesnt is too much for comfort.But there are also waysin which scientists increase their chances of getting it wrong.Running studies with small samples,mining data for correlations and forming hypotheses to fit an experi

31、ments results after the fact are just some of the ways to increase the number of false discoveries.Its not like we dont know how to do better.Scientists who study scientific methods have known about feasible remedies for decades.Unfortunately,their advice often falls ondeaf ears.Why?Why arent scient

32、ific methods better than they are?In a word:incentives.But perhaps not in the way you think.In the 1970s,psychologists and economists began to point out the danger in relying on quantitative measures for social decision-making.For example,when public schools are evaluated by students performance on

33、standardized tests,teachers respond by teaching“to the test”.In turn,the test serves largely as of how well the school can prepare students for the test.We can see this principleoften summarized as“when a measure becomes a target,it ceases to be a good measure”playing out in the realm of research.Sc

34、ience is a competitive enterprise.There are far more credentialed(授以证书的)scholars and researchers than there are university professorships or comparably prestigious research positions.Once someone acquires a research position,there is additional competition for tenure grant funding,and support and pl

35、acement for graduate students.Due to this competition for resources,scientists must be evaluated and compared.How do you tell if someone is a good scientist?An oft-used metric is the number of publications one has in peer-reviewed journals,as well as the status of those journals.Metrics like these m

36、ake it straightforward to compare researchers whose work may otherwise be quite different.Unfortunately,this also makes these numbers susceptible to exploitation.If scientists are motivated to publish often and in high-impact journals,we might expect them to actively try to game the system.And certa

37、inly,some doas seen in recent high-profile cases of scientific fraud(欺诈).If malicious fraud is the prime concern,then perhaps the solution is simply heightened alertness.However,most scientists are,I believe,genuinely interested in learning about the world,and honest.The problem with incentives is t

38、hat they can shape cultural norms without any intention on the part of individuals.12.Which of the following is TRUE about the general trend in scientific field?A.Scientists are persistently devoted to exploration of reality.B.The research findings fail to achieve the expected effect.C.Hypotheses ar

39、e modified to highlight the experiments results.D.The amount of science that does replicate is comforting.13.What doesdeaf earsin the fourth paragraph probably refer to?A.The public.B.The incentive initiators.C.The peer researchers.D.The high-impact journal editors.14.Which of the following does the

40、 author probably agree with?A.Good scientists excel in seeking resources and securing research positions.B.Competition for resources inspires researchers to work in a more skeptical way.C.All the credentialed scholars and researchers will not take up university professorships.D.The number of publica

41、tion reveals how scientists are bitterly exploited.15.According to the author,what might be a remedy for the fundamental problem in scientific research?A.High-impact journals are encouraged to reform the incentives for publication.B.The peer-review process is supposed to scale up inspection of scien

42、tific fraud.C.Researchers are motivated to get actively involved in gaming the current system.D.Career incentives for scientists are expected to consider their personal intention.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 The Value of Tears Tears can ruin make-up,bring conv
