12、d Dionysius.Such hymns,called dithyrambs,were usually sung by a lead singer and a chorus.Thespis added a speaking actor.Performances at the annual Dionysian festival soon included plays with three actors as well as the standard hymns.By 449 BC,the Greeks were giving prizes to the best actor and the

13、best playwright at the festival.A modern word for actorthespian recognizes the debt todays drama owes to Thespis.Performing in a Greek play required physical strength.Because each play had only three actors,performers had to play several roles.Chorus members both sang and danced.Being in the chorus

15、be seen by everyone in their huge audience.Tragic（悲剧的）actors wore long clothes and masks.Comic actors wore short costumes that let them move freely and masks designed to make them look ugly or silly.Sometimes the chorus were dressed up to look like animals.Another legacy（遗产）of the ancient Greeks is

16、the deus ex machina,or god from the machine.If a playwright was having trouble with the plot,he might have a god appear through a trap door（天窗）.The god would rescue the main character and find a solution to any difficult plot situations.Modem writers might not call on gods,but they do sometimes use

But parents are usually the ones buying the phones, and paying the bill. According to a study

21、, 56% of parents of children aged 8 to 12 have given their children a cell phone. According to a recent survey, 12 is the magic number.

29、 Winnie Hallwachs, convinced Del Oro, a large orange juice producer, to donate part of their forestland to a national park in exchange for the right to dump (倾倒) massive amounts of orange peels on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park, at no cost. Dealing with tons of waste peels usuall

30、y involved burning them or paying to have them dumped at a landfill, so the proposal was very attractive.A year after the contract was signed, Del Oro dumped around 12,000 tons of sticky orange waste in the land. However, another juice company and rival of Del Oro challenged the deal in court, argui

31、ng that their competitor was “polluting the national park”. They ended up winning, and the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell through. The 3-hectare piece of land virtually covered with fruit waste was completely forgotten.Then, in 2013, Timothy Treuer, a scientist at Princeton Universi

32、ty visited that piece of land 15 years earlier. What he found shocked him. “It was completely overgrown with trees and vines,” Timothy Treuer recently said, “the difference between fertilized and unfertilized areas was visually surprised us a lot! We needed to come up with some really good standards

33、 to evaluate exactly what was happening there.”To confirm that the fruit waste was responsible for the revival of plant life, Treuer and his team spent months picking up samples, analyzing and comparing them. They found “dramatic differences between the areas covered in orange peels and those that w

34、ere not. The area fertilized by orange waste had richer soil, greater tree-species richness and greater forest coverage. In a sense, its not just a win-win between the company and the local parkits a win for everyone.”The effect the orange peels had on the land is probably not that surprising to peo

35、ple familiar with composting (堆肥), but what is shocking is that a judge actually called this particular example polluting the national park and stopped it from going forward. Now that Timothy Treuers study has received worldwide attention, this type of polluting is being seriously considered as a wa

The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated sy

40、stems. 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.“Its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual componen

41、ts (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 componen

42、ts 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

43、to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything its 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 manufa

44、ctured.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

45、, 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 question

46、s, 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.”1、The difficulty the team of engineers met wit

47、h while making the robotic fly was that _.Athey had no model in their mindBthey did not have sufficient timeCthey had no ready-made componentsDthey could not assemble the components2、It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly _.Aconsists of a flight device and a control systemBc

48、an just fly in limited areas at the present timeCcan collect information from many sourcesDhas been put into wide application3、Which of the following can be learned from the passage?AThe robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.BAnimals are not allowed in biological experiments.CThere used t

50、 At the age of seven, while his friends were spending their allowances on candy and toys, Jose Adolfo Quisocola, Peru, came up with the creative idea of an eco-bank which allows kids of all ages to become economically independent and financially wise while helping the environment.Established in 2012

51、, The Bartselana Student Bank is the worlds first cooperative bank for kids. Whoever wants to join has to bring in at least 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of solid waste (paper or plastic) and establish a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank “partners” are required to deposit at least one additional kilog

52、ram (2* 2 pounds) of recydables on a monthly basis and obey other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops. The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to some clever negotiation by Jose, pay a higher-than-market rate for

53、everything brought in by Bartselana Student Bank members. The funds received are placed in the individuals account where they collect until his/her savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw his/her money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target.“At the begi

54、nning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project,” Jose recalls. “They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present. Luckily, I had the support of the school principal and an assistant in my classroom.”The youngsters pers

55、istence paid off. Today, the eco-bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, has ten educational centers and begins accepting applications from kids all across Peru. On November 20, 2018, the young boy was awarded the famous Childrens Climate Prize (CCP). “Joses eco-bank is a bril

56、liant way of linking economy and climate impact, both in thought and practice. The potential impact is amazing”, a judge said.Hopefully, Joses success will inspire more kids and adults to come up with new ideas that create value while helping the environment. As the boy says, “Together we can change

57、 the world. we just need an opportunity.”1、For what purpose was the eco-bank created?ATo educate children how to spend their allowances.BTo help children break away from their parents.CTo raise childrens awareness of money and environmentDTo encourage children to buy whatever they want.2、What does P
