The mechanical fly has become a platform for

11、 a series of new high-tech 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.“Its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a

12、 bunch of individual components,” 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 the components together. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actuall

13、y 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

14、 which individually has to perform well, and 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

15、 can be built and manufactured.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

16、, 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、What was the difficulty for engineers to make

17、 the robotic fly?ALacking enough engineers.BLacking ready-made components.CStarling to study the system too late.DHaving no way to fix components together.2、What was the system of the robotic fly like?AIt was huge but solid.BIt was small and changeable.CIt was complex but precise.DIt was fixed and t

18、raditional.3、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?AEngineers will fix the system on some animals.BThe system of the robotic fly will have a great effect on our daily life.CThe system of the robotic fly will face lots of scientific questions.DEngineers will use the findings of the system to d

19、o further research.4、What can we learn from the text?ARobert Wood did the research on his own.BWood will produce the system to put it onto the market.CThe robotic system can have some different functions.DEngineers made the system in order to study power technologies.22（8分） If we look around us at t

20、he things we have purchased at some point in our lives, we would no doubt notice that not everything we own is being put to good use: the thick woolen coat which we thought looked trendy despite the fact that we live in a tropical country. the smartphone that got put away when we bought ourselves th

21、e newest model, or even the guest room in our house that somehow got turned into a storeroom.Those underutilized(未充分使用的) items may seem useless to some, but could be of value to others. With the occurrence of the Internet, online communities have figured out a way to generate profit from the sharing

22、 of those underused property, Using websites and social media groups that facilitate the buying and selling of second-hand goods it is now easier than ever for peer-to-peer sharing activities to take place. And this is known as the sharing economy.These popular online platforms are providing a chanc

23、e for people to make a quick fortune. To give an example, busy parents previously might not have bothered with setting up a stall at the local market to sell their childrens old equipment, but with online marketplaces, parents are now able to sell on those hardly worn baby clothes that their childre

24、n have outgrown so as to put some cash back into their pockets.Businesses have also caught on to the profitability of the sharing economy and are seeking to gain from making use of those underutilized resources. Companies like Airbnb act as a middleman for people to cash in on their unused rooms and

25、 houses and let them out as profitable accommodation. Another example is Uber, which encourages people to use their own personal cars as taxis to make some extra cash in their free time.This move towards a sharing economy is not without criticisms. Unlike businesses, unregulated individuals do not h

26、ave to follow certain regulations and this can lead to poorer and inconsistent quality of goods and services and a higher risk of fraud. Nevertheless, in the consumerist society we live in today, the increased opportunities to sell on our unwanted and underused goods can lead to a lesser impact on o

And writer Liel Le

30、ibovitz says the students are following an example that began in the eighteen seventies.Mr. Leibovitz and writer Matthew Miller joined forces to tell the story of the students in their book, “Fortunate Sons.” The book says China sent one hundred and twenty boys from 1872 to 1875 to America to learn

31、about developments that could help modernize their country.Mr. Leibovitz got the idea for the book about the boys a few years ago when he was traveling with his wife in China.Mr. Leibovitz learned that Qing government sent a whole delegation (代表团) of boys to learn the ways of the West. The goal was

32、for them to return to China and help their country.The book says the boys received their American training in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. It must have been a very good education. Mr. Leibovitz says the first prime minister of the Chinese Republic completed this program. And

33、so did the first engineer to build a large-scale railroad without foreign help. The same was true of the fathers of Chinese education, diplomacy and the Navy.The book-writers had only to open some boxes containing the writings of these men to learn about them. Their notebooks, Journals, letters and

34、postcards were in English. Mr. Leibovitz said he was lucky to have so much information from events that took place long ago.The students returned to China after about nine years. They no longer spoke Mandarin (国语) well enough to answer questions. Police welcomed them home by putting them in jail. Th

35、e young men were released after about a week. But they were given low-level jobs.Mr Leibovitz says it took about ten years for them to rise to higher positions. He said their story continues today with large numbers of Chinese studying in the United States.1、How many exchange children did Qing gover

38、 giving them the freedom to choose their collaborators (合作者) and the comfort of working with established contacts, new research suggests.In the study, David Melamed, an assistant professor of sociology at the Ohio State University and lead author of the study, and his co-authors found participants t

39、hrough the Amazon Mechanical Turk website a service that allows researchers to hire people from around the world for a variety of purposes. For this study, all participants were from the United States.Those who agreed to participate played online games in which each player started out with 1,000 mon

40、etary units that translated to $1 in real money they could pocket. If one player agreed to pay another player 50 monetary units, that second person would actually acquire 100 units. Each of the 16-round games included about 25 participants, some of whom participated in multiple games. In all, 810 pe

41、ople participated in the research.Some of the games included random networks, where certain people could interact. Others included clustered (群集的) networks, in which a small group had multiple connections an arrangement that was designed to mimic (模拟) real life, where humans often run their lives in

42、 packs. And the networks were either static (静态的) or dynamic (动态的). In static networks, a player could interact only with the appointed partners. In dynamic networks, participants could cut their ties with another player and form new connections. Furthermore, some of the games included reputation in

43、formation. Participants were labeled based on their history of willingness to share money. The idea was to test whether those known to collaborate were favored by other players based on reputation a factor shown in previous research to play a significant role in whether a person is likely to partner

44、 with another.Melamed and his research partners were surprised to find that whether people are likely to partner with others had nothing to do with reputation in this study. The findings might have departed from previous studies because of the difference in size and study design, he said, explaining

45、 that much of the previous work in this area was conducted in groups of 100 or fewer and mostly involved student subjects. The Turk network used for the new study has been shown to be representative of the U.S. population in terms of age, race and other factors and the introduced players had no prev

46、ious connections.Cooperation rates overall were high and highest when the participants were cooperating in clusters and had the ability to drop a partner in favor of another. “What really seems to matter is the ability to change the structure of a network,” Melamed said. “And the patterns of relatio

47、nships also made a difference. Those in a known cluster with multiple connections cooperated more.”1、What did David Melamed and his partners do for their study?AThey hired 810 people globally.BThey gave each participant $1,000.CThey designed 16-round online games.DThey asked each participant to take

48、 part in only one game.2、Compared with previous research, the new study found that _.Areputation played no role in cooperationBstudent subjects were more likely to partner with othersCplayers having connections before were more cooperativeDcooperation rates were influenced by age, race and other fac

49、tors3、It can be inferred that the purpose of the study led by David Melamed is to discover _.Ahow to change the patterns of relationshipsBwhat leads people to collaborate most willinglyCwhat kind of person is the most popular in a teamDwhether its proper to drop a partner in favor of another25（10分）T
