Ⅲ.阅读理解
As scientists in the Netherlands tried to figure out how to build a super flying robot，they learned from one of nature’s flyers：the humble fruit fly(果蝇)．And by building this robot，they’ve gained new insights into how the fly carries out one of its dangerous tasks.
The robot is called the DelFly Nimble.Its wingspan(翼展) is about a foot wide.It has four wings that can beat at 17 times per second，which appear very delicate because they’re made of the same material as space blankets.
In the previous designs, they always had a tail，like a traditional airplane tail，said the robot’s main designer Matej Karasek.He’s based at the Micro Air Vehicle Laboratory at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands，and he and his colleagues published their findings on Thursday in Science.
“In the previous generations，” he said，“flapping wings drove the robot forward while the tail helped to guide and stabilize it.”“But now the DelFly Nimble is completely controlled by the wings.The challenge then was actually combining the control into the wing movement，and that’s what we achieved，” Karasek said.
“In the latest generation, the wings can each move individually or rotate(旋转) around the body of the robot in order to maximize the machine’s agility(灵活)．The robot can remain in one place in the air for about five minutes on a full battery or fly for more than a kilometer”，Karasek said. “And because the scientists are controlling all the movements，they can use the robot to learn more about how fruit flies actually carry out their dangerous tasks，which has caught the attention of biologists.”
1．Where did scientists get the creative idea of the flying robot?
A．From a fruit fly.
B．From the birds’ wings.
C．From some fruits.
2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?
A．A full battery.
B．A flapping wing.
C．The DelFly Nimble.
D．The humble fruit fly.
3．What interests biologists most about fruit flies?
A．That they are very tiny insects.
B．That they conduct challenging tasks.
C．That they can be easily found in the world.
D．That they have light wings and fly quickly.
4．Where is the text probably taken?
A．A research paper.
B．A travel brochure.
C．A health magazine.
D．A chemistry textbook.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED (Adapted)
Larry Belmont worked for a company that made robots.   1   (recent) it had begun experimenting with a household robot. It was going to be tested out by Larry’s wife, Claire.
Claire didn’t want the robot in her house, especially as her husband would be away on a business trip for three weeks, but Larry persuaded her that the robot wouldn’t harm her or allow her   2  
(harm). It would be a bonus. However when she first saw the robot, she felt alarmed. His name was Tony. He seemed   3   (many) like a human than a machine. He was tall and handsome with smooth hair and a deep voice, although his   4   (face) expression never changed.
On the second morning, Tony brought her breakfast and then asked her whether she needed help dressing. She felt   5   (embarrass) and quickly told him to go. Now she was being looked after by a robot that looked so human, and it was disturbing.
One day, Claire mentioned that she didn’t think she was clever. Tony said that she must feel very unhappy to say that. Claire thought it was   6   (ridicule) that she was being offered sympathy by a robot, but she gradually admired his wisdom and integrity and began to trust him. He always treated her with   7   (dignify). She told him how she was unhappy that her home wasn’t elegant enough for Larry, who wanted to improve his social position with a bigger salary. She wasn’t like Gladys Claffern, one of the   8   (rich) and most powerful women around.
As a favour, Tony promised   9   (help) Claire make herself more beautiful and her home more elegant. So Claire borrowed some library books for him to read, or rather, scan. She looked at his fingers with wonder as they turned each page.   10   absurd, she thought. He was just a machine.
Tony gave Claire a new hairstyle and improved her makeup. As he was not allowed to accompany her to the shops, he wrote out a list of things that he would need for his work on the house. Claire went downtown and bought these things. She had   11   appointment to paint her nails, then she went into an expensive clothes shop. The saleswoman there was rude to her, so she rang Tony and told him she was being treated badly. He spoke to the woman, who immediately changed her attitude. Claire thanked Tony,   12   (tell) him that he was a “dear”. As she turned around, there stood Gladys Claffern. How awful to be discovered by her, Claire thought. By the look on her face, Claire knew that Gladys thought they were in a relationship. After all, she knew Claire’s husband’s name was Larry, not Tony. Although it was completely innocent, Claire felt   13   (guilt).
When Claire got home, she wept. Gladys was everything Claire wished to be. Tony told her she was being sensitive and was just as good as Gladys. He suggested that she invite Gladys and her friends to the house the night before he was to leave and Larry was to return. By that time, Tony expected that the house, which was being completely transformed, would be ready.
Tony worked steadily on the improvements. Claire tried to help by working on a light   14   (suspend) from the ceiling, but she fell off the ladder. Even though Tony had been in the next room, he managed to catch her in time. As he held her, she felt the warmth of his body. She screamed, pushed him away, and ran to her room.
The night of the party arrived. The clock struck eight. The guests would be arriving soon, so Claire   15   (dismiss) Tony for the rest of the night. At that moment Tony took her in his arms, bringing his face close to hers. She heard him declare that he did not want to leave her the next day, and that he felt more than just the desire to please her. Then the front door bell rang.

THE TIME MACHINE (Adapted)
It was at ten o’clock today that the first of all Time Machines began its career. I gave it a last check, and sat   1   (I) in the leather seat. I pushed the starting lever on the main panel forwards an inch then   2   (immediate) backwards again. Looking around, I saw my laboratory exactly as before. Had anything happened? I thought my mind   3   (trick) me. Then I saw the clock. A moment before, it was a minute or so past ten; now it was nearly half past three!
I drew a breath,   4   (grip) the lever and pushed it forwards. The laboratory went   5   (haze) around me. My niece came in to fetch something, maybe her handkerchief, apparently without seeing me. It probably took her a minute, but to me she moved like a rocket! I pushed the lever
6   (far). Night came as if a lamp was being turned   7  , and in another moment came the day. Tomorrow night came, then skipped to day, again and again, faster and faster still.
It is hard to explain the strange and unpleasant   8   (feel) of time travelling. It felt like I was being driven fast on a winding road. As my pace grew faster, the walls of the laboratory fell   9  , and I   10   (leave) in the open air. The sun and moon looked as if they were being thrown across the sky, but soon there was   11   (divide) between night and day. Around me I saw trees growing like puffs of smoke; they grew, spread, and died in moments. I saw huge buildings rise up then disappear like in a dream. The whole surface of the earth was being changed, melting and flowing before my eyes. I calculated that I was being pushed through time at hundreds of years a minute.
I had a strange urge   12   (look) at the random things that were being flashed before my eyes! I had thought about the risk of stopping the Time Machine many times. So long as I travelled   13  
maximum speed, it didn’t matter. But if I stopped and the same space was being occupied by something else, we would be forced together and explode like a bomb! Like an impatient fool, I pulled the lever backwards hard.   14   a sudden jolt, the Time Machine was flipped on its side, and I was thrown through the air.
I was stunned for a moment, and then heard the sound of thunder. I was sitting in the rain in some mud next   15   the machine. “A fine welcome,” I said, “for a man who has travelled thousands of years to be here!”
【参考答案】
1. myself    2. immediately    3. had tricked    4. gripped    5. hazy
6. further    7. out    8. feeling    9. away    10. was left
11. division    12. to look    13. at    14. With    15. to
