Humans might be the most highly-evolved species on the planet,but most animals possess skills we can
only dream of having.Imagine how much electricity we could save if we could see in the dark the way cats
do. Imagine leaping from tree to tree like a monkey.Giraffes(长颈鹿),which are otherwise calm and good-
natured,sleep only 4.6 hours a day.
We realized a long,long time ago that nature provides the best blueprint(蓝图)for invention.We've
borrowed canals from beavers(河狸)and reflectors from cat's eyes.Although the words "bionics" became
popular only after the 1960s,history shows that nature has always provided ideas on solving everyday prob-
lems. Our archives(档案)don't go back to the time of Leonardo da Vinci and his bird-like flying machines,
but we can take you to the late 19th century,where we applied those same principles for building our first
practical airplanes.
To prepare for their flight at Kitty Hawk,the Wright brothers studied the movements of pigeons to figure
out how they stayed high up when they were heavier than air. Their success inspired scores of successors to
improve on the airplane by studying various aspects of nature,One of Orville Wright’、pupils caught and
stuffed seagulls to examine their wingspan.Meanwhile,two French inventors examined spinning sycamore(美
国梧桐)seeds in an effort to apply those same motions,reversed,to a helicopter.
Some examples are more obvious than others.The outside of the airplane designed by the Wright
brothers looks like a minimalistic(简单抽象艺术)structure. On the other hand , Barney Connett ' s fish
submarine(潜水艇)actually looks like a fish.
Some bio-inspired concepts have yet to be invented.In the 1960s,the US Army commissioned several
university professors to conduct research on the motor skills of animals in hope of applying those same abili-
ties to tanks. Tanks that run like horses or jump like grasshoppers(蚂昨)一sounds shocking,doesn't it?
But imagine how life would change if we could achieve that.

Which of the following is true about the research carried out by the US Army?
A:It has changed our life.
B:It has cost a large sum of money.
C:It has improved the abilities of tanks.
D:It has not succeeded yet.

1.Our dream is the song of our soul. Life without one is reduced to a hollow existence. But life with a dream is filled with meaning and purpose.Most of us have a dream, or heart's desire. But the trouble is most of us have the on/off switch of our dream set to OFF. Whenever we say, I can’t, we set the switch to OFF. Whenever we believe we can, we set the switch to ON. Simple, isn't it? Just because I believe I can do something doesn't mean there won’t be any problems. But once I believe I can do it, I will seek solutions for every problem I stumble on. And since it is a law of life that we find what we look for, if I look for solutions, I will find them.Any worthy dream is a dream worthy of accomplishing. Once I realize I can do it, the next step is to make a commitment. As soon as we make a commitment, great power is released. What seemingly were insurmountable hurdles are now reduced to obstacles of laughable insignificance. But we won’t reach this stage until we decide to stop talking and start acting. Unless we commit ourselves, self-doubt will ferment and block our way.Our dreams don’t have to be grand to be great. An aunt of mine sold gloves in a department store for most of her life. Her dream was to be the friendliest and most helpful salesperson around. Year after year, the same customers would return and deliberately seek her out. She brightened everyone's day and touched the lives of thousands. Was her dream any less significant than that of aprominent person? Of course not. We all have the power to follow a dream that will make a difference to us and those we meet.No dream is too small; no dream is too big, so hold on to your dream. Langston Hughes tells why, Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.So,what are you waiting for? Follow your dream!(1)According to the author, dreams ___________.A、refer to dreams in our sleepB、refer to dreams in the daytimeC、gives meaning and purpose to our lifeD、enables life to be a hollow existence(2)What are the stages in following a dream?A、Setting the switch of our dream on, making a commitment, and releasing the power.B、Setting the switch of our dream on, committing ourselves, and following the dream.C、Believing we can do it, committing ourselves, and acting.D、Believing we can do it, acting and making a commitment.(3)What does the dream of the author's aunt illustrate?A、To illustrate we should commit ourselves and start acting.B、To illustrate our dreams don’t have to be grand to be great.C、To illustrate her dream was to be the friendliest and most helpful salesperson.D、To illustrate we all have the power to follow a dream.(4)Which of the following statements is NOT true?A、Whether the switch of your dream is ON or OFF is left entirely to yourself.B、If we believe we can do it, there won’t be any problems.C、We will find what we look for.D、The author's aunt's dream was not any less significant than that of a prominent person.(5)The passage mainly tells us that __________.A、a dream gives meaning and purpose to our life.B、if dreams die, life will become meaningless.C、we should follow our dream which will make a difference to us and other people.D、a worthy dream is a dream worthy of accomplishing.

    问答题
    Practice 1  No one knows what time itself is. We cannot see it. We cannot touch it. We cannot hear it. We know it only by the way we mark its passing. For all our success in measuring the tiniest parts of time, time remains one of the great mysteries of the universe.  One way of thinking about time is to imagine a world without time. There could be no movement, because time and movement cannot be separated. A world without time could exist only as long as there were no changes. For time and change are linked. When something changes, you know time has passed.

    正确答案:
    【参考译文】
    时间本身究竟是什么,没有人知道。时间是看不见、摸不着、也听不到的。我们标出时间的消逝,通过这种方式,我们才知道了时间。尽管我们能成功地测定出极其短暂的一段时间,但是对我们来说,时间仍然是宇宙间最大的奥秘之一。
    思索时间的一种方式是设想一个没有时间的世界。在这个世界里也不会有运动,因为时间和运动是分不开的。没有时间的世界只能在没有任何变化的条件下存在,因为时间和变化是联系在一起的。当事物发生了变化,时间也就消逝了。

    问答题
    One of the questions coming into focus as we face growing scarcity of resources in the world is how to divide limited resources among countries. In the international development (1) com____, the coronal wisdom has been that the billion people living in poor countries could never expect to (2) r____ the standard of living that most of the people in North America enjoy, simply because the world does not contain enough iron ore, protein, petroleum, and so on. At the same time, we in the United States have continued to pursue super-affluence as though there were no limits (3)____ how much we could consume. We (4) m____ only 6 percent of the world’s people; yet we consume one third of the world’s resources.  As long as the resources we consumed each year came primarily from (5) w____ our own boundaries, this was largely an internal matter. But as our resources come more and more from the outside world, we will no longer be able to think in (6)____ of “our” resources and “their” resources, but only of (7) c____ resources.  As Americans consume such a(n) (8)____(proportion) share of the world’s resources, we have to question whether or not we can continue our pursuit of super-affluence in a world of (9)____(scarce). We are now reaching the point at which we must carefully examine the presumed link between our level of well-being and the level of material goods consumed. If you have only one crust of bread and get another crust of bread, your well-being is greatly enhanced. But if you have a loaf of bread, then an additional crust of bread doesn’t make (10) d____. In the eyes of most of the world today, Americans have their loaf of bread and are asking for still more. The prospect of a scarcity of, and competition in, the world’s resources requires that we re-examine the way in which we relate to the rest of the world.

    正确答案: 1.community community社会整体,大众。这里指由各个国家共同构成却又彼此独立的有机整体。
    2.reach reach the standard of living达到生活标准。
    3.on limit后能接of,to,on/upon等介词,意思不相同。limit后接on,指对…施加限制,如:place a limit on the number of visitors限制参观的人数。limit后接of指…的限制,如:reach the limit of one’s patience达到了忍无可忍的地步。
    4.make make构成。此句译为:我们只占世界人口的6%,但我们消费的资源却占世界三分之一。
    5.within 该句译为:既然我们过去每年消耗的资源主要来自国内,这个问题基本上就只属于本国内部事务。与后一句的from the outside world形成对比,故填within。
    6.terms in terms of根据,按照,用…的话,在…方面。
    7.common common共有的,强调每个成员都有份,如:common interests共同利益。for the common good为公共利益。
    8.disproportionate 上文谈到美国人口仅占世界6%,但消耗的资源却占三分之一,这是与人口不成比例的,故填disproportionate。
    9.scarcity 文章主题句说:正当我们面临着世界资源匮乏之际,一个焦点问题就是国家间如何分配有限的资源。与主题句中的scarcity对应。
    10.difference 此句可译为:如果你只有一块干面包,再得到一块,那你的生活就会大大改善,但如果你已有一整条面包,再多得一块,并没多少区别。

  • 第24题:

    问答题
    As holidays go, Thanksgiving is in some ways the most philosophical. Today we try not to take for granted the things we almost always take for granted. We try, if only in that brief pause before the eating begins, to see through the well-worn patterns of our lives to what lies behind them. In other words, we try to understand how very rich we are, whether we feel very rich or not. Today is one of the few times most Americans consciously set desire aside, if only because desire is incompatible with the gratitude—not to mention the abundance-that Thanksgiving summons.

    正确答案:
    与其他节日相较,感恩节可说是最具反思意义的。今天,我们试着不像往常一样,把拥有的一切视为理所当然,而是试着透视一成不变的生活模式,探究隐藏在背后的真意,即使只是趁着用餐前的短暂片刻也无妨。换言之,我们试着了解自己有多富有,不论事实上我们是否真感到富有。今天,多数美国人难得将欲望刻意抛在一旁,即使这纯粹是因为欲望与感恩节唤起的感恩之心(更遑论丰盛的食物)扦格不入也无妨。
