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 hightech 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 goahead 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，offboard power source，the goal is eventually to equip it with a builtin power source，so that it might someday perform datagathering 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 insectscale.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.”‎ 语篇解读　本文属于说明文。文章主要讲述的是哈佛大学的工程师们从自然界的昆虫那里得到了灵感，设计开发了第一款机器苍蝇，同时介绍了该项研究存在的困难、研究将要发展的方向和该研究会带来的好处。‎ ‎11．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 enough time C．they had no readymade components D．they could not assemble the components 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的“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”可知，困难就是没有现成的组成部件，故选C。‎ ‎12．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 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“While the first robotic flyer is linked to a small，offboard power source...‘Basically it should be able to take off，land and fly around’”可知，目前由于电池等的限制，只能在有限的区域飞行。故选B。‎ ‎13．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.‎ 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“you know，to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals，but using these robots instead”可知，有些试验用动物的话会很困难，但是可以用机器人来替代，故选D。‎ ‎14．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 答案　C 解析　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章的重要观点在第一段，主要讲述的是哈佛大学的工程师们从自然界的昆虫那里得到了灵感，设计开发了第一款机器苍蝇。Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect是合适的标题。故选C。‎ Ⅲ.完形填空 ‎(2016·黑龙江佳木斯二中期中)‎ A group of graduates got together to visit their old

brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.‎ Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding—undoubtedly firstrate photojournalism—if they had been made last week.In fact，they were shot from 1914 through 1916，most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海难)，by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest，under freezing water，in the damaged wooden ship.‎ The ship was the Endurance，a small，tight，Norwegianbuilt threemaster that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27 men in all，to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.‎ As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and wellresearched story The Endurance，adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott’s last journey，completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger，caught the world’s imagination，and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton，a onetime British merchantnavy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908，started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley，a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic，was hired to make the images，most of which have never before been published.‎ 语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是Frank Hurley收集的照片把过去一次不成功的南极洲的旅行活动重新展现了出来。‎ ‎33.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?‎ A.They were made last week.‎ B.They showed undersea sceneries.‎ C.They were found by a cameraman.‎ D.They recorded a disastrous adventure.‎ 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“In fact，they were shot from 1914 through 1916，most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海难)...”可知，这些照片记录的是一次海难。‎ ‎34.Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?‎ A.Frank Hurley. B.Ernest Shackleton.‎ C.Robert Falcon Scott. D.Caroline Alexander.‎ 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中的“Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912...”可知，最先到达南极的是Robert Falcon Scott。‎ ‎35.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?‎ A.Artistic creation. B.Scientific research.‎ C.Money making. D.Treasure hunting.‎ 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“...adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.”及“...started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.”可知，Alexander认为他1914年航行的目的就是为了挣钱发财。‎ Step Two　信息句与长难句分析 ‎1.(33题信息句) In fact，they were shot from 1914 through 1916，most of them after a disastrous shipwreck，by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.‎ 翻译：事实上，这些照片拍摄于1914至1916年之间，大多由一位不可能生存下来的摄像师在沉船灾难发生后拍摄的。‎ 分析：句中most of them after a disastrous shipwreck为独立主格结构；句子后面为who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词a cameraman。‎ ‎2.(35题信息句)As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and wellresearched story The Endurance，adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.‎ 翻译：正如作家Caroline Alexander在她有力又深入研究的书The Endurance中明确解释的，当时的探险完全是出于商业目的。‎ 分析：句中as引导非限制性定语从句，且作从句中的宾语；clear为从句中的宾补；主句中主语为adventuring。‎ Step Three　深度阅读与拓展训练 真题精选对应训练 ‎(2016·江苏，阅读理解C)‎ El Niño，a Spanish term for “the Christ child”，was named by South American fishermen who noticed that the global weather pattern，which happens every two to seven years，reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas.El Niño sees warm water，collected over several years in the western Pacific，flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken，or sometimes the other way round.‎ The weather effects，both good and bad，are felt in many places.Rich countries gain more from powerful Niños，on balance，than they lose.A study found that a strong Niño in 199798 helped America’s economy grow by 15 billion，partly because of better agricultural harvests：farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain.The total rise in agricultural incomes in rich countries is greater than the fall in poor ones.‎ But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames.A multiyear drought(干旱) in southeast Brazil is becoming worse.Though heavy rains brought about by El Niño may relieve the drought in California，they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.‎ The most recent powerful Niño，in 199798，killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth 36 billion around the globe.But such Niños come with months of warning，and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare.According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI)，however，just 12% of disasterrelief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance，rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards.This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on riskreduction saves at least two on reconstruction.‎ Simple improvements to infrastructure(基础设施) can reduce the spread of disease.Better sewers(下水道) make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach.Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods.According to a paper in 2011 by Mr ‎ Hsiang and coauthors，civil conflict is related to El Niño’s harmful effects—and the poorer the country，the stronger the link.Though the relationship may not be causal，helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people.Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Niño，reducing their losses needs to be the priority.‎ 语篇解读　本文是一篇科普说明文。主要介绍的是厄尔尼诺现象名字的由来、影响、危害等相关情况，希望人们对厄尔尼诺现象的发生做好充分的准备，以减少损失。‎ ‎61.What can we learn about El Niño in Paragraph 1?‎ A.It is named after a South American fisherman.‎ B.It takes place almost every year all over the world.‎ C.It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.‎ D.It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.‎ 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“El Niño sees warm water，collected over several years in the western Pacific，flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken，or sometimes the other way round.”可知，在海洋厄尔尼诺现象发生时会有洋流的变化。‎ ‎62.What may El Niños bring about to the countries affected?‎ A.Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.‎ B.Droughts become more harmful than floods.‎ C.Rich countries’ gains are greater than their losses.‎ D.Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.‎ 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Rich countries gain more from powerful Niños，on balance，than they lose.”可知，富裕国家因厄尔尼诺得到的东西要比它们失去的多。‎ ‎63.The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest that .‎ A.more investment should go to risk reduction B.governments of poor countries need more aid C.victims of El Niño deserve more compensation D.recovery and reconstruction should come first 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段倒数第二句中的“...however，just 12% of disasterrelief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance...”可知，以往政府对减少风险的投入太少，应该加大投资以降低厄尔尼诺现象造成的损失。‎ ‎64.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?‎ A.To introduce El Niño and its origin.‎ B.To explain the consequences of El Niño.‎ C.To show ways of fighting against El Niño.‎ D.To urge people to prepare for El Niño.‎ 答案　D 解析　写作意图题。根据文章内容，特别是最后一段中的“...helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk...”可判断出，作者写这篇文章的目的是呼吁人们为厄尔尼诺现象的发生做好准备。‎ 第三节　话题写作 情景专练1‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(2016·北京)假设你是红星中学高三一班的学生李华。你班同学参加了学校的“地球日”系列活动。请按照以下四幅图的先后顺序，以“Actions for a Greener Earth”为题，给校刊“英语角”写一篇英文稿件，介绍活动的全过程。‎ 注意：词数不少于60。‎

die sooner than those who do.The standard Alcoholics Anonymous explanation for this finding is this：many of those who give up alcohol are actually former hardcore drunks who had already brought health problems associated with drinking.‎ ‎ But a new paper suggests that abstaining(戒除)from alcohol does tend to increase one's risk of dying，even when you leave former problem drinkers out.The most ‎ shocking part—abstainers'(禁酒者)mortality rates(死亡率)are higher than those of heavy drinkers.‎ ‎ Moderate(适度的)drinking，which is defined as one to three drinks per day，is associated with the lowest mortality rates.Moderate alcohol use is thought to improve heart health，circulation and sociability，which can be important because people who are cut off don't have as many family members and friends who can notice and help treat health problems.‎ ‎ But why would abstaining from alcohol lead to a shorter life？It's true that those who abstain from alcohol tend to be from lower socioeconomic classes，since drinking can be expensive.And people of lower socioeconomic status have more life stressors(压力因素)．‎ ‎ Though heavy drinking is associated with higher risk for many diseases，heavy_drinkers_are_less_likely_to_die_than_don't_drink.One important reason is that alcohol strengthens social interactions，and social interactions are vital for maintaining mental and physical health.Nondrinkers show greater signs of depression.‎ The authors of the new paper are careful to note that even if drinking is associated with a longer life，it can be dangerous：it can affect your memory severely and it can lead to falls and other troubles that can affect your life.There's also the dependency issue：if you become addicted to alcohol，you may spend a long time trying to get off the bottle.‎ ‎16．What can we know from the Alcoholics Anonymous explanation and the new paper?‎ ‎ A．The former finds that abstainers can live longer than heavy drinkers.‎ ‎ B．The former finds that nondrinkers can live longer than heavy drinkers.‎ ‎ C．The latter finds that healthy abstainers can live shorter than heavy drinkers.‎ ‎ D．The latter finds that nondrinkers can live shorter than heavy drinkers.‎ 答案　C　[细节推理题。由文章第二段的第一句话“‎ 即使不算那些之前喝酒后来戒酒的人，不喝酒也确实会导致死亡率升高”可知，C项正确。]‎ ‎17．Which of the following is the benefit of moderate drinking?‎ ‎ A．It helps blood circulation.‎ ‎ B．It helps remove people's life stressors.‎ ‎ C．It reduces people's association with friends.‎ ‎ D．It can save a lot of money.‎ 答案　A　[细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句中的“improve heart health，circulation and sociability”可知，A项正确。]‎ ‎18．What does the underlined sentence (in Para.5)mean?‎ ‎ A．Heavy drinkers can live longer if they give up drinking.‎ ‎ B．Heavy drinkers can live longer even if they don't give up drinking.‎ ‎ C．The mortality rate of heavy drinkers is lower if they don't give up drinking.‎ ‎ D．The mortality rate of heavy drinkers will be lower if they give up drinking.‎ 答案　C　[句意理解题。该句前面说“尽管重度酗酒者犯很多病的几率很大”，该句接下来的两句是对画线句子的解释，“最重要的原因是饮酒可以加强社交联系，这有助于人们的身心健康。因此不喝酒的人更易抑郁。”由此可推断本句的意思是“重度饮酒者不戒酒时死亡率低。”故选C。]‎ ‎19．It can be learned from the last paragraph that ________.‎ ‎ A．the authors of the new paper support drinking ‎ B．people should start drinking if wanting to live longer ‎ C．many people doubt whether drinking is good for health or not ‎ D．drinking can do harm to people's life 答案　D　[推理判断题。文章最后一段提到尽管喝酒能够让人长寿，但是喝酒也会给人带来一些危害，“it can be dangerous”是中心词，因此D项正确。]‎ B In 2006，Paul Letourneau of Worcester，Mass，lost his parents，his home and his pet dog.And that August，his lifelong mild depression took a turn for the worse as he became suicidal(有自杀倾向的)．‎ ‎“I said I didn't want to be alive anymore，”Letourneau,67，recalled telling his best friend.‎ He and his friend had gone for a walk when Letourneau stopped and asked his friend about ways to die painlessly.His friend advised him to admit himself to a hospital.‎ ‎“When I went back home，physically，I was shaking so much－and emotionally，I couldn't stop，”Letourneau said，“I knew I had to get help.”‎ For many men，it takes a lot more than feeling down to recognize that they are depressed and then step through the doors of a hospital，or a friend's or relative's home to ask for help.Men who are depressed usually refuse to get appropriate treatment，depression experts and patients say.‎ ‎“When men get depressed，the depression can be quite severe，”said Dr.lan Cook，professor of psychiatry at the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.“The challenge is getting men to acknowledge that they're depressed.”‎ Depression affects about 15 million people in the United States，according to the National Institutes of Mental Health，and men get depressed about half as often as women.‎ ‎“It's unclear how much of this is a reporting bias，”Cook said.“The stigma(耻辱)issues are somewhat different for men than they are for women.”‎ ‎“Men intend to consider that asking for help is a sign of weakness，but when ‎ they can't complete the task of bringing themselves to the Promised Land，they become at risk.” said Steven Lappen，who was once a depression patient.‎

D．About 15 million.‎ 答案　C　[细节理解题。由第七段内容可知，在美国受抑郁症影响的人有大约一千五百万，而男性患者是女性患者的一半，由此可知患有抑郁症的妇女大约为一千万。]‎ ‎23．The underlined phrase“Promised Land”in the last paragraph refers to________.‎ A．a state of being mentally health B．a place filled with sufferings C．a place of interest D．a state of death 答案　A　[指代关系题。由最后一段内容可知，男人会把寻求帮助看成是软弱的表现，但是假如他们在不求人的情况下不能摆脱抑郁症的困扰而恢复健康的话，那就危险了。由此可知答案。]‎ ‎24．It can be inferred from the passage that________.‎ A．reports about men with depression are usually false B．men are more likely to become depressed than women C．most people with depression have lost their relatives D．the actual number of men with depression is larger than reported 答案　D　[推理判断题。由第五段和最后一段可知，很多男性抑郁症患者都羞于让人知道他们患病；再根据倒数二、三段可推知，报告中统计的男女抑郁症患者的数字是有偏差的，男性患者的实际数字会高于报告中的数字。]‎ Ⅲ.书面表达 ‎ 请根据漫画所反映的现象和问题，写一篇题为“The faster，the better？”的短文。‎ ‎ 你的短文应该包含：‎ ‎ 1．漫画描述和反映的问题是什么；‎ ‎ 2．面对这样的问题，你有什么样的想法；‎ ‎ 3．在我们的学习生活中应该怎样正确地解决这样的问题；‎ ‎ 4．词数120左右。‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【参考范文】‎ The faster，the better?‎ ‎ As we can see in the picture，two men are competing against each other in building walls.One man has built up an obviously higher but twisted wall，while the other's work is completely vertical，strong and solid though lower.‎ ‎ The picture implies a very important rule of doing things that we always need a balance between speed and quality.In our daily life，“The faster，the better”has become a motto for us due to the fiercely competitive environment of our society.However，our work has no value at all if we overlook the quality of it just like ‎ the man in the picture.‎ ‎ As students，with the heavy burdens of our studies，we are required to do things at high speed.Meanwhile，we should always bear it in mind that no matter how fast we need to achieve something，quality may never be ignored.After all，it is our test results rather than the speed that counts.‎
