【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了麻省理工学院助理教授Chen研发出一款像昆虫一样无人机。

【28题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中“Thelargedroneisusuallypoweredbyamotor,butthemotorlosesefficiencyasyoushrinkit.So,Chensays,“Foraninsect-sizeddrone,youneedtolookforalternatives.”Theprincipalalternativeuntilnowhasbeenemployingasmall,rigidactuator(执行器)builtfromnewmaterials.Chendesignedamoreagiletinydroneusingsoftactuatorsinsteadofhardones.”（大型无人机通常由电机驱动，但当你缩小它时，电机就会失去效率。因此，Chen说：“对于昆虫大小的无人机，你需要寻找替代品。”到目前为止，主要的替代方案是使用一种由新材料制成的小型刚性执行器。Chen设计了一种更灵活的微型无人机，使用软驱动器而不是硬驱动器。）可知，关于Chen设计的执行器，我们知道它驱动昆虫大小的无人机。故选B项。

【29题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段中“AccordingtoChen,heovercamemanyproblemswhenbuildingthedrone.Theinsect-sizeddronerequiresafundamentallydifferentconstructionfromalargerone.Thelargedroneisusuallypoweredbyamotor,butthemotorlosesefficiencyasyoushrinkit.”（据Chen说，他在制造无人机时克服了许多问题。昆虫大小的无人机与大型无人机的结构完全不同。大型无人机通常由电机驱动，但当你缩小它时，电机就会失去效率。）可推断，Chen的研发工作很有挑战性。故选D项。

【30题详解】

主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Chensayshisdronecanbeusefulinindustryandagriculture.Itcanperformmachineryinspectionstoensuresafetyandfunction.Itspotentialapplicationsincludecompletingsearch-and-rescuemissionsfollowingadisaster.”（Chen说他的无人机在工业和农业上都很有用。它可以进行机械检查，以确保安全和功能。它的潜在应用包括完成灾难后的搜索和救援任务。）可知，最后一段主要介绍了“昆虫无人机”的预期应用情况。故选C项。

【31题详解】

主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Thisisreallyhardtobuildintoflyingrobots,butMITAssistantProfessorKevinYufengChenhasdevelopedaninsect-sizeddrone(无人机)thatapproachesinsects’agility.”（这真的很难植入飞行机器人中，但麻省理工学院助理教授KevinYufengChen已经开发出一种昆虫大小的无人机，接近昆虫的敏捷性。）可知，本文主要介绍了麻省理工学院助理教授Chen研发出一款像昆虫一样的小型无人机。故文章最适合的标题是“一种类似昆虫的小型无人机”。故选A项。

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了几个搞好邻里关系的金点子。

【36题详解】
