Ⅲ.閱讀理解
When top engineers in Germany wanted to build a more energy－efficient car, they headed to the natural history museum to study dolphins and sharks. But it was the boxfish (盒子魚)that interested them.
“We were surprised when this clumsy－looking fish became our model for designing an aerodynamic (空氣動力學的)car”，says Thomas Weber. He is the research and development chief for the car company Daimler. An aerodynamic design reduces wind drag and increases fuel efficiency.
The boxfish may look clumsy, but it can start, stop，back up and zigzag (曲折前進)through the water with ease. And it does all this using surprisingly little energy. Daimler’s bionic (仿生學的)car is modeled on the fish’s boxy skeletal (骨骼的) system. Like the fish, the car is fast and drives easily. It’s efficient too.
The science behind nature－inspired inventions is called biomimicry (生物仿生). Biologist Janine Benyus came up with the term. As co－founder of the Biomimicry Guild, she has worked with cereal companies，sneaker designers and others to develop products based on Nature’s best ideas.
This month，the Nature’s 100 Best List will be revealed at the World Conservation Congress (代表大會)in Barcelona，Spain. Benyus co－authored the list of nature－inspired designs with economist Gunter Pauli.
In Zimbabwe，a country in southern Africa，engineers designed energy－efficient buildings modeled on termite (白蟻)mounds (土堆). The buildings use vents (孔) to keep the air flowing and the temperature cool.
A company in Atlanta，US，developed a self－cleaning paint modeled on the lotus (荷花)leaf. When the paint dries，it becomes bumpy (不平的)，just like the lotus leaf. Rain drops form on the bumps and roll off，carrying dirt along with them.
Nature has done billions of years of research. Only the best－designed products have survived. Companies owe Mother Nature a debt for all that hard work，says Benyus.
For scientists and inventors, the possibilities for copying nature are limitless. Technology may never be as efficient as nature, or as colorful. But that doesn’t mean we should stop trying to learn from the world around us. Take a walk outside. Watch a squirrel climb up a tree. Look closely at the veins (紋理)of a leaf. Hear the birds chirping in the trees. Such small details may help solve big problems in the future.
28．Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A． In America a self－cleaning paint was modeled on the lotus flower.
B． Zimbabwe engineers learned from termites to create highly advanced heating systems.
C． After the boxfish，many other ideas of new products are borrowed from nature.
D． Nature is a good source to turn to for improving technology.
29．The clumsy－looking boxfish interested the scientists because of the following reasons EXCEPT that________.
A． it swims using little energy
B． being boxy, it looks quite like a car
C． some engineers had researched on how to swim easily in the water
D． it is a speedy swimmer
30．Why did top engineers in Germany go to the natural history museum?
A． They wanted to pay a visit to the animals there because they were so lovely.
B． They wanted to carry out a research of boxfish and dolphins.
C． They wanted to search for a model to base on for building a more－efficient car.
D． They wanted to study the science of survival.
31．We can infer all of the following from the passage EXCEPT ________.
A． it is believed that the creation of the airplane might have originated from the bird flying in the sky
B． the atmosphere on the earth cannot be transferred into the original idea
C． dolphins and sharks may become the source of scientists，inventions or creations
D． if you observe and explore nature，you may make great discoveries or become great inventors
32．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A． How Daimler’s bionic car came into being.
B． Nature has inspired a lot of inventions and will continue to.
C． Scientists and inventors’ contribution to modern industry comes from nature.
D． The Nature’s 100 Best List.
課時作業(yè)(十六)
?、?1.B 句意為：這條老路不太直，也有點繞遠。但不知何故，他們不喜歡走新路。though作副詞用時常置于句尾。somehow意為“不知何故，不知怎么的”，符合語境。其他兩項明顯不正確。
2．B always和現(xiàn)在進行時連用表示埋怨或責備，意為“總是……”。
3．C 短語in response to中to是介詞，后接名詞或v.－ing作賓語。
4．D 此題考查詞組意思區(qū)分。queue up意為“排隊等候”。
5．D 此題考查occur的用法。句型It occurs to sb. that…意為“某人突然想起……”；又因為從句中用過去時，故用occurred。
6．A move on to表示“接下去，繼續(xù)”。
7．C move on 繼續(xù)移動；put on 穿上；take on 雇傭；hold on 別掛斷。此處take on 符合語境。
8．C make fun of sb. 拿某人開玩笑；behave oneself是固定短語，表示“規(guī)矩點兒”。
9．C pleased “感到高興的”；worth作形容詞時只能作表語；excited “感到興奮的”；worthwhile “值得的”，可以作定語修飾job。
10．D follow in the footsteps of sb.＝follow in one’s footsteps意為“走某人的道路，照某人的樣子做”。
11．D award“獎勵，授予……獎”，句中是獲得了70萬美元的獎金，故應選D。
12．B 句意為：他沒有大喊大叫，只是默默地怒視著我。look at 看；knock at 敲(門等)；wonder at
對……感到驚訝；glare at
對……怒目而視。
13．C 句意為：山姆如此氣憤以至于他撕碎了手中的書。tear up 撕碎；tear off 扯掉；tear down
拆毀；tear away
(使)勉強離去。
14．B 句意為：孩子們通過玩捉迷藏游戲取樂，快樂極了。astonish 令人吃驚；arouse 喚醒；arise 出現(xiàn)。只有amuse(使高興)符合題意。
15．C tear是可數(shù)名詞，此處應用復數(shù)形式，B、D應排除；選項A不能用作主語，只有C項動名詞短語可作主語，且與謂語動詞do保持一致，因此C是正確選項。
?、?“我”和朋友在印度旅游。在一座寺廟前，一個女乞丐向“我”乞討一個盧比買中餐吃。“我”開始拒絕了她的請求，但后來“我”給了她兩個盧比。在“我”返回旅館的途中又看見了她——她正在喂一個小女孩！而喂給小女孩吃的中餐正是用“我”施舍她的其中一個盧比買的。一個乞丐的慷慨震撼了“我”的心靈，“我”決定戒煙了！因為“我”從中認識到：兩根煙的代價就能養(yǎng)活兩個人?。?/p>
16．D 根據(jù)上文a long queue of people were waiting to go inside. Some of my friends were standing in the line…”和下文“as our group was at the front of the queue可推斷我們中有些人利用團隊中有人排隊的機會喝茶或抽煙。take the opportunity意為“利用機會”，符合語境，故選D。make the opportunity意為“制造機會”，不符合語境，因為這種機會不是自己創(chuàng)造的，故不選C。lose the opportunity意為“失去機會”，find the opportunity意為“發(fā)現(xiàn)機會”，均不符合語境，故不選A、B。
17．C 根據(jù)下文她所說的but they’ll never give that rupee to a hungry person可推斷我們拒絕了她的要求，故選C。
18．A 根據(jù)I overheard the woman beggar say可推斷，此句意為“當我們在匆忙趕過去的時候，我無意中聽到她說……”。故選A。
19．D 由語境可知，她的話是針對“我”朋友my friend crushed his cigarette with his shoes的行為所說的，由此推斷此空指“我”朋友抽煙的不良習慣，故選D。
20．B 根據(jù)上文we were hurrying over可知，“我”hurrying over的行為已經(jīng)開始，此處應意為：“我”沒有在意她的話而繼續(xù)往前趕。故選B。
21．A 根據(jù)I began wondering if there was some truth to what she had said.可推斷“我”進入寺廟后，又想起了她所說的話，即她的話又在“我”耳邊回響。故選A。
