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."‎ ‎24。 The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that __________. ‎ A. they had no model in their mind                    B. they did not have sufficient time C. they had no ready-made components           D. they could not assemble the components ‎25. It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly __________. ‎ A. consists of a flight device and a control system B. can just fly in limited areas at the present time C. can collect information from many sources D. has been put into wide application ‎26. Which of the following can be learned from the passage? ‎ A. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects. B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments. C. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly. D. Wood's design can replace animals in some experiments.‎ ‎27. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? ‎ A. Father of Robotic Fly                                        B. Inspiration from Engineering Science ‎ C. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect                D. Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study C ‎    When it comes to medical care, many patients and doctors believe "more is better." But what they do not realize is that overtreatment—too many scans, too many blood tests, too many procedures—may bring harm. Sometimes a test leads you down a path to more and more testing, some of which may be invasive, or to treatment for things that should be left alone.‎ ‎    Terrence Power, for example, complained that after his wife learned she had Wegener's disease, an uncommon disorder of the immune system, they found it difficult to refuse testing recommended by her doctor. The doctor insisted on office visits every three weeks, even when she was feeling well. He frequently ordered blood tests and X－rays, and repeatedly referred her to specialists for even minor complaints. Even when tests came back negative, more were ordered, and she was hospitalized as prevention when she developed a cold. She had as many as 25 doctor visits during one six－month period. The couple was spending about $30,000 a year for her care.‎ ‎    After several years of physical suffering and near financial ruin from the medical costs, the couple began questioning the treatment after discussing with other patients in online support groups. "It's a really hard thing to determine when they've crossed the line," Mr. Power said. "You think she's getting the best care in the world, but after a while you start to wonder: What is the purpose?" Mr. Power then spoke with his own primary care doctor, who advised him to find a new specialist to oversee Mrs. Power's care. Under the new doctor's care, the regular testing stopped and Mrs. Power's condition stabilized. Now she sees the doctor only four or five times a year.‎ ‎28. What is the main idea of this passage? ‎ A. Treatments do not always cause harmful side effects B. Patients tend to believe more testing is better treatment. C. Too much medical care may not be beneficial to patients. D. Doctors generally recommend office visits that are necessary.‎ ‎29. Which of the following was a problem for Mrs. Power during her medical treatment? ‎ A. She had to be hospitalized for three weeks whenever she had a cold. B. When test results showed she was fine, her doctor still ordered more tests. ‎ C. She did not have any insurance, so she became penniless because of her illness. D. Her doctor asked her to consult other specialists due to her constant complaints.‎ ‎30. Who does "they" in the third paragraph most likely refer to? ‎ A. Doctors.       B. Other patients.       C. Mr. and Mrs. Power.       D. The online support groups.‎ ‎31. What led to the Powers' doubt about Mrs Power's treatment? ‎ A. Mrs. Power's condition getting worse.            B. The results of her blood tests. C. Knowing about other patients' treatment.      D. The advice from Mr. Power's doctor.‎ D ‎    Anyone who is afraid of failure and afraid to face challenges will never taste success, so said our professor in marketing. I laughed it off at that time, but got frightened when it actually happened in my life.‎ ‎    I landed in a small city in the Middle East to set up a firm, a world－class car rental firm. Having decided on the project, I earnestly settled in preparation. With a positive mind, I told myself nothing should stop me now, and was more than keen to make it a success.‎ ‎    However, the least expected thing happened. Iraq invaded Kuwait. Tension ran high in the region. Eventually the war broke out, and many people fled the country, leaving my firm in deep trouble.‎ ‎    As usual, "things become difficult, and every effort seems to bring disappointment, it can be tempting to lower your expectations or even water down your goals and ambitions." I was no exception. I thought of running away. I remembered the words of Thomas Edison, "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to succeed when they gave up."‎ ‎    I decided to hang on, telling myself, "I am not afraid of challenges and obstacles." I stayed on through months of uncertainty and insecurity. Finances ran low, and banks could not wait to get their dues. To add to all this, the banks even threatened to take all my vehicles. I felt I made a wrong decision to move there. I was now ready to face failure.‎ ‎    I was living against all hopes, believing that something good would happen. After 2 months the war ended. My persistence paid off: people started flooding back and the car bookings picked up, five times over.‎ ‎    Success comes to the one who dares, even after failure, to think positively and look forward confidently. After all, it is only the experience that makes a man tough. Failure does not mean you will never make it. It means that it will take a little longer. It provides us with a learning experience.‎ ‎32. The main method the author uses to support his understanding of his professor's viewpoint is ________. ‎ A. offering analyses                                              B. providing explanations C. making comparisons                                       D. giving examples ‎33. How did the author feel when the war between Iraq and Kuwait broke out? ‎ A. Unconfident                          B. Indifferent                          C. Nervous                         D. Calm ‎34. What does the underlined phrase "water down" in the 4th paragraph probably mean? ‎ A. get rid of                 B. smooth away                 C. make less forceful                  D. improve on ‎35. The author's purpose of writing the passage is most likely to ________. ‎ A. inform                           B. persuade                           C. describe                           D. entertain 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ‎ ‎    The job interview is an important part of your job search because it's an opportunity for the employer to figure out if you're right for the job.
