ain america a selfcleaning paint was modeled on the lotus flower. bzimbabwe engineers learned from termites to create highly advanced heating systems. cafter the boxfish，many other ideas of new products are borrowed from nature. dnature is a good source to turn to for improving technology.()7.the clumsylooking boxfish interested the scientists because of the following reasons except that_. ait swims using little energy bbeing boxy, it looks quite like a car csome engineers had researched on how to swim easily in the water dit is a speedy swimmer()8.why did top engineers in germany go to the natural history museum? athey wanted to pay a visit to the animals there because they were so lovely. bthey wanted to carry out a research of boxfish and dolphins. cthey wanted to search for a model to base on for building a moreefficient car. dthey wanted to study the science of survival.()9.we can infer all of the following from the passage except _. ait is believed that the creation of the airplane might have originated from the bird flying in the sky bthe atmosphere on the earth cannot be transferred into the original idea cdolphins and sharks may become the source of scientists，inventions or creations dif you observe and explore nature，you may make great discoveries or become great inventors()10.whats the main idea of the passage? ahow daimlers bionic car came into being. bnature has inspired a lot of inventions and will continue to. cscientists and inventors contribution to modern industry comes from nature. dthe natures 100 best list.(一)本文为科普说明文，主要介绍在生物仿生学上的一些运用实例。6d细节理解题。根据最后一段可推断大自然是开发技术的源泉，故选d。a项不符合a company in atlanta, us, developed a selfcleaning paint modeled on the lotus (荷花) leaf；b项不符合in zimbabwe,
