Ⅲ.阅读理解
When top engineers in Germany wanted to build a more energy－efficient car, they headed to the natural history museum to study dolphins and sharks. But it was the boxfish (盒子鱼)that interested them.
“We were surprised when this clumsy－looking fish became our model for designing an aerodynamic (空气动力学的)car”，says Thomas Weber. He is the research and development chief for the car company Daimler. An aerodynamic design reduces wind drag and increases fuel efficiency.
The boxfish may look clumsy, but it can start, stop，back up and zigzag (曲折前进)through the water with ease. And it does all this using surprisingly little energy. Daimler’s bionic (仿生学的)car is modeled on the fish’s boxy skeletal (骨骼的) system. Like the fish, the car is fast and drives easily. It’s efficient too.
The science behind nature－inspired inventions is called biomimicry (生物仿生). Biologist Janine Benyus came up with the term. As co－founder of the Biomimicry Guild, she has worked with cereal companies，sneaker designers and others to develop products based on Nature’s best ideas.
This month，the Nature’s 100 Best List will be revealed at the World Conservation Congress (代表大会)in Barcelona，Spain. Benyus co－authored the list of nature－inspired designs with economist Gunter Pauli.
In Zimbabwe，a country in southern Africa，engineers designed energy－efficient buildings modeled on termite (白蚁)mounds (土堆). The buildings use vents (孔) to keep the air flowing and the temperature cool.
A company in Atlanta，US，developed a self－cleaning paint modeled on the lotus (荷花)leaf. When the paint dries，it becomes bumpy (不平的)，just like the lotus leaf. Rain drops form on the bumps and roll off，carrying dirt along with them.
Nature has done billions of years of research. Only the best－designed products have survived. Companies owe Mother Nature a debt for all that hard work，says Benyus.
For scientists and inventors, the possibilities for copying nature are limitless. Technology may never be as efficient as nature, or as colorful. But that doesn’t mean we should stop trying to learn from the world around us. Take a walk outside. Watch a squirrel climb up a tree. Look closely at the veins (纹理)of a leaf. Hear the birds chirping in the trees. Such small details may help solve big problems in the future.
28．Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A． In America a self－cleaning paint was modeled on the lotus flower.
B． Zimbabwe engineers learned from termites to create highly advanced heating systems.
C． After the boxfish，many other ideas of new products are borrowed from nature.
D． Nature is a good source to turn to for improving technology.
29．The clumsy－looking boxfish interested the scientists because of the following reasons EXCEPT that________.
A． it swims using little energy
B． being boxy, it looks quite like a car
C． some engineers had researched on how to swim easily in the water
D． it is a speedy swimmer
30．Why did top engineers in Germany go to the natural history museum?
A． They wanted to pay a visit to the animals there because they were so lovely.
B． They wanted to carry out a research of boxfish and dolphins.
C． They wanted to search for a model to base on for building a more－efficient car.
D． They wanted to study the science of survival.
31．We can infer all of the following from the passage EXCEPT ________.
A． it is believed that the creation of the airplane might have originated from the bird flying in the sky
B． the atmosphere on the earth cannot be transferred into the original idea
C． dolphins and sharks may become the source of scientists，inventions or creations
D． if you observe and explore nature，you may make great discoveries or become great inventors
32．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A． How Daimler’s bionic car came into being.
B． Nature has inspired a lot of inventions and will continue to.
C． Scientists and inventors’ contribution to modern industry comes from nature.
D． The Nature’s 100 Best List.
课时作业(十六)
Ⅰ.1.B 句意为：这条老路不太直，也有点绕远。但不知何故，他们不喜欢走新路。though作副词用时常置于句尾。somehow意为“不知何故，不知怎么的”，符合语境。其他两项明显不正确。
2．B always和现在进行时连用表示埋怨或责备，意为“总是……”。
3．C 短语in response to中to是介词，后接名词或v.－ing作宾语。
4．D 此题考查词组意思区分。queue up意为“排队等候”。
5．D 此题考查occur的用法。句型It occurs to sb. that…意为“某人突然想起……”；又因为从句中用过去时，故用occurred。
6．A move on to表示“接下去，继续”。
7．C move on 继续移动；put on 穿上；take on 雇佣；hold on 别挂断。此处take on 符合语境。
8．C make fun of sb. 拿某人开玩笑；behave oneself是固定短语，表示“规矩点儿”。
9．C pleased “感到高兴的”；worth作形容词时只能作表语；excited “感到兴奋的”；worthwhile “值得的”，可以作定语修饰job。
10．D follow in the footsteps of sb.＝follow in one’s footsteps意为“走某人的道路，照某人的样子做”。
11．D award“奖励，授予……奖”，句中是获得了70万美元的奖金，故应选D。
12．B 句意为：他没有大喊大叫，只是默默地怒视着我。look at 看；knock at 敲(门等)；wonder at
对……感到惊讶；glare at
对……怒目而视。
13．C 句意为：山姆如此气愤以至于他撕碎了手中的书。tear up 撕碎；tear off 扯掉；tear down
拆毁；tear away
(使)勉强离去。
14．B 句意为：孩子们通过玩捉迷藏游戏取乐，快乐极了。astonish 令人吃惊；arouse 唤醒；arise 出现。只有amuse(使高兴)符合题意。
15．C tear是可数名词，此处应用复数形式，B、D应排除；选项A不能用作主语，只有C项动名词短语可作主语，且与谓语动词do保持一致，因此C是正确选项。
Ⅱ.“我”和朋友在印度旅游。在一座寺庙前，一个女乞丐向“我”乞讨一个卢比买中餐吃。“我”开始拒绝了她的请求，但后来“我”给了她两个卢比。在“我”返回旅馆的途中又看见了她——她正在喂一个小女孩！而喂给小女孩吃的中餐正是用“我”施舍她的其中一个卢比买的。一个乞丐的慷慨震撼了“我”的心灵，“我”决定戒烟了！因为“我”从中认识到：两根烟的代价就能养活两个人啊！
16．D 根据上文a long queue of people were waiting to go inside. Some of my friends were standing in the line…”和下文“as our group was at the front of the queue可推断我们中有些人利用团队中有人排队的机会喝茶或抽烟。take the opportunity意为“利用机会”，符合语境，故选D。make the opportunity意为“制造机会”，不符合语境，因为这种机会不是自己创造的，故不选C。lose the opportunity意为“失去机会”，find the opportunity意为“发现机会”，均不符合语境，故不选A、B。
17．C 根据下文她所说的but they’ll never give that rupee to a hungry person可推断我们拒绝了她的要求，故选C。
18．A 根据I overheard the woman beggar say可推断，此句意为“当我们在匆忙赶过去的时候，我无意中听到她说……”。故选A。
19．D 由语境可知，她的话是针对“我”朋友my friend crushed his cigarette with his shoes的行为所说的，由此推断此空指“我”朋友抽烟的不良习惯，故选D。
20．B 根据上文we were hurrying over可知，“我”hurrying over的行为已经开始，此处应意为：“我”没有在意她的话而继续往前赶。故选B。
21．A 根据I began wondering if there was some truth to what she had said.可推断“我”进入寺庙后，又想起了她所说的话，即她的话又在“我”耳边回响。故选A。
