Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C andD.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

  A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly.The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems.Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly.Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.

  “It's extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components(元件), ” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade.A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components.“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own, ” he said.

  They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly.“The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it's connected to, ” said Wood.The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems.Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.

  While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield.“Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around, ” he said.

  Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale.Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications.“You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead, ” he said.“So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”(392 words)

      Charlie studied in a famous college for four years. He studied hard and did well in all his subjects. He
hoped to become a good teacher. This year he left the college and began to work in a middle school. He likes
his students and is strict (严格的) with them. He does his best to make his classes lively and interesting. 
      One day he carefully explained a chemical reaction (反应) to the students of Grade 2 in the chemistry
lab. 
      "Be careful, everyone," he said loudly. "Before I make the experiment, there're twenty five atoms of
carbon (碳原子), but after I finish it, there're twenty four atoms of carbon left!" He stopped to watch the
classroom and hoped his students would go on explaining it. But the young men looked at each other and
nobody answered him. He had to ask, "What happens? What makes the atom lost?"
      The classroom was very quiet and none of the students looked at their teacher. "Who can tell us where
it has gone?" Suddenly a soft voice came from the back row, "We did not see anybody leave the lab!"
1. Charlie began to work in the middle school because _____.
[     ]
A. he had been in the school for four years
B. he couldn't do anything except teaching
C. he hoped to become a good teacher
D. he did well in all his subjects
2. Charlie hopes _____, so he does his best to make his classes lively and interesting.
[     ]
A. all his students could understand him
B. his students wouldn't be afraid of him
C. his students carefully watched him making the experiment
D. his students could do well in chemistry
3. That day Charlie wished _____.
[     ]
A. his students could learn the chemical reaction
B. his students could find the atom of carbon
C. his students could count (数) the atoms of carbon
D. his students could make the experiment
4. The students couldn't answer Charlie's questions because _____.
[     ]
A. none of them had seen the atoms
B. they didn't understand their teacher
C. the chemical reaction was too complicated
D. they all wanted to drop the subject
5. In fact, _____. 
[     ]
A. Charlie failed that day
B. the student in the back row didn't watch her teacher carefully
C. the student in the back row hadn't learned chemistry before
D. Charlie failed in making the experiment

Is bottled water better for you than tap? Or should you choose vitamin-enriched water? Experts say, skip it all. None of these products is likely to make you any healthier. Below, we look at four major myths about the benefits of drinking water. 71 Experts say there’s an easy way to judge. If you are not thirsty, your fluid intake is likely “just right”

Myth No 1: Drink eight glasses each day.

Scientists say there’s no clear health benefit of drinking so much water a day. 72 “Nobody really knows,” says Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, a kidney expert at the University of Pennsylvania.

Myth No.2:Lots of water equals healthier skin.

The body is already 60 percent water. 73 Adding a few extra glasses of water each day has a limited effect. “It’s such a tiny part of what’s in the body,” says Goldfarb. “ It’s very unlikely that one’s getting any benefit.”

Myth No.3: 74

A more accurate statement may be: Drinking water is a helpful tool for dieters. “Water is a great strategy for dieters because it has no calories,” says Madeline Fernstrom of the University of Pittsburgh. “So you can keep your mouth busy without food and get a sense of satisfaction.” But water is not magical, she adds. “Other zero-calorie options such as diet sodas are fine, too.”

Myth No. 4: It’s easy to get dehydrated(脱水的) during a workout.

Dehydration sets in when a person has lost 2 percent of his or her body weight. 75 “It’s also obvious that individuals in hot, dry climates have an increased need for water,” says Goldfarb. “But for a walk in the park, no water bottle is necessary.”

A.        So where does the standard advice come from?

B.        But it’s unclear whether these changes are clinically significant.

C.        So for a 200-pound man, this means losing 4 pounds of water.

D.       Drinking extra water leads to weight loss.

E.        Drink as much water as you can.

F.        So, if you take a 200-pound man, he’s 120 pounds of water.

G.       But first, how do you know if you’re drinking enough water?

  My friend Paul will never forget his first chemistry teacher.He was a little man with thick glasses, but he had a strange way of making his classes lively and interesting.And his lessons were not easily forgotten.

  Paul remembers one of his first lessons from this teacher.After the students were all in the chemistry lab, the teacher brought out three bottles.One was filled with petrol, one with castor oil and one with vinegar.“Now watch carefully, " said the teacher.

  He then filled a cup with some of the petrol, some of the castor oil and some of the vinegar.As the students watched him quietly, he mixed the three together.After that, he held up one of his fingers and showed it to the class.He then dipped it into the cup.After a few seconds he took his finger out." Now watch " he said." Remember, you must do everything as I do."

  He put a finger in his mouth, tasted it and smiled, looking rather pleased.Then he handed the cup around the class of students.Each student dipped a finger into the mixture and sucked it.Instead of smiling, each of them made a face.The mixture tasted terrible.

  When the cup was at last returned to the teacher, he said sadly, “I ' m sorry, none of you watched carefully enough.Yes, I sucked a finger, but the finger I put into my mouth was not the one I had dipped into the cup."

  It was Paul's first important lesson as a student of chemistry and he never forgot it.
