As she grew older, Sarah became interested in the science behind flight and decided to study aerospace engineering in college.After graduation, Sarah began working for a company that designed airplanes. However, she soon realized that the traditional methods of airplane design were not always efficient or sustainable. She began to wonder if there was a way to design airplanes that mimicked the natural world.Sarah started to study birds and insects, observing how they were able to fly with such grace and efficiency. She asked questions like: How do birds adjust their wings to different wind conditions How do insects use their wings to hover in place With this knowledge, Sarah began to design airplanes that incorporated biomimicry, or the imitation of nature. She created wings that could adjust their shape based on wind conditions, just like a bird's wings. She also designed planes that could hover in place, like a dragonfly.Sarah's designs were a hit. Her company began to produce airplanes that were more efficient and sustainable than ever before. They used less fuel and emitted fewer pollutants into the air.Sarah now travels around the world, giving talks on the benefits of biomimicry in engineering. “Nature has been solving problems for millions of years,” she says. “We can learn a lot from the natural world if we just take the time to observe and ask questions.”4.What made Sarah Lee decide to major in aerospace engineering A.Her fascination with airplanes.B.Her interest in the flight science.C.Her childhood dream of becoming a pilot.D.Her love for watching birds in her backyard.5.What is one example of biomimicry in Sarah's airplane designs A.Wings that adjust their shape based on wind conditions.B.Engines that run on renewable energy sources.C.Cockpits that mimic the structure of a bird's nest.D.Landing device that resembles insect legs.6.Based on the article, what can be inferred about Sarah Lee's career goals A.She wants to become a pilot.B.She aspires to be a lecturer.C.She plans to study birds and insects.D.She aims to design efficient airplanes.7.What does the underlined word “mimicked” mean A.Violated. B.Imitated.C.Resembled. D.Pretended.CTo help astronauts of the future survive the mental challenges that come with living in space for extended periods of time, space travelers' missions could soon be accompanied by AI powered, empathetic (同理心的) robotic assistants.Not only does space travel present astronauts with a lot of physical stresses, but spending months or years in such a physically demanding place with limited space and the same people can also raise lots of mental tests.According to MIT Technology Review,scientists are working to ease some of the mental challenges facing astronauts by creating “an AI assistant that's able to feel human emotion and respond with empathy”.While such a technology would prove itself useful by being able to predict the needs of crew members and “intervene (介入) if their mental health is in need of help”, it has the potential to be life saving when humans choose to explore beyond the earth's gravitational field and towards deep space.Though astronauts currently on the International Space Station have an intelligent robot to interact with, it lacks proper emotional intelligence.As a result, a team at the organization's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is working on a more advanced and complicated emotional support companion that can control a spacecraft's functioning in addition to tracking crew member's behaviors.Right now in the lab, an AI equipped robot called Henry the Helper can be found wandering around the grounds helping visitors who appear confused or lost based on their facial expressions.Two more emotionally intelligent robots are expected to be introduced later this year, one of which is said to be able to participate in conversations more complex than giving navigation (导航) assistance.The team's final goal is to make a companion named Fiona the Future a reality,an emotionally intelligent cross platform system.Rather than being limited to a physical robotic device, it could be digitally integrated into space stations and habitats on Mars and beyond.Fiona, if all goes according to the JPL's plans, will help keep astronauts of the future mentally fit as they start their journeys to deep space.8.Why are the emotional support robots needed A.To help astronauts get rid of physical stresses.B.To protect astronauts from emotional suffering.C.To achieve the mission of exploring deep space.D.To test the robots' ability to feel human emotions.9.What is true about the current intelligent robot on the International Space Station A.It can save astronauts' lives.B.It can interact with astronauts.C.It has emotional intelligence.D.It can predict astronauts' needs.10.What do we know about Fiona the Future A.It is due to be introduced this year.B.It is available in the space stations.C.It is just a physical robotic device.D.It is more of an intelligent system.11.Where does this passage probably come from A.A medicine magazine. B.A business magazine.C.A science magazine. D.A travel magazine.DA small device no bigger than a toaster has generated oxygen on the surface of Mars, bringing the chances of surviving on the red planet a step closer.The Mars Oxygen In Situ Resource Utilization Experiment,better known as MOXIE,has been generating oxygen from the atmosphere on Mars, as part of NASA's Perseverance rover mission.MOXIE produced breathable oxygen in seven hour long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere conditions since landing.During each test, the device produced six grams of oxygen, about the same as a small tree and enough to sustain an astronaut for 15 minutes.It's also found that even in extreme temperatures and after a Martian dust storm, MOXIE continued to produce high purity oxygen.“This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of another planet and transforming them chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission,” said Jeff Hoffman, a retired astronaut and professor at MIT.NASA and the MIT team are planning to build a bigger version of MOXIE, as they hope advanced models will produce enough oxygen to support a crewed mission to Mars.“We have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth to support a human mission, but oxygen is a big problem.If you can make it there, go for it and you're way ahead of the game,” Hoffman said.The device uses pumps that absorb in carbon dioxide which is heated to 800℃ and processed to separate the carbon and oxygen.Carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) is emitted as waste while the pure oxygen is left behind.Expanding the device to support a human mission to Mars presents challenges.It is needed to run continuously for 400 days, a leap from the one hour tests and its inner temperature should be controlled stably.MOXIE has proved to endure the extreme conditions on Mars, however, and the team plans to assess the machine's limits in the coming months when atmosphere is thick and carbon dioxide levels are high.They say they just want to set everything as high as they dare and make as much oxygen as they can.12.What can we learn about MOXIE A.It works well in a series of tests.B.It aims to purify breathable oxygen.C.It is stopped by extreme conditions.D.It produces oxygen enough for a team.13.What does the author intend to do by quoting Hoffman's words in paragraph 5 A.To present a plan to further explore Mars.B.To demonstrate NASA's ambition to win the game.C.To show the plentiful and useful resources on Mars.D.To highlight the significance of making oxygen on Mars.14.Which of the following best describe the team according to the last paragraph A.Confident and intelligent. B.Cautious and ambitious.C.Practical and independent. D.Courageous and imaginative.15.What can be a suitable title for the text A.A NASA Mars Rover Landed SuccessfullyB.Challenges for a Human Mission to MarsC.A Little Oxygen on Mars, a Great Leap ForwardD.Human Survives with Oxygen Made on Mars第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Several years after humans successfully put their first object into space, it's much easier to launch a satellite. But space will be a lot messier once we're up there.__16__ There are around 5,000 satellites in orbit with fewer than half actually working.When a satellite stops functioning, it keeps orbiting at very high speeds,making a great threat for the useful ones.So space sustainability has become a big concern.__17__ One suggested solution is to refuel the dead satellites and bring them back to life.Another concept is to use a robot with four arms to catch a dead satellite before pulling it into the atmosphere to burn it up.__18__ Operating a robot from hundreds of miles away is tough.And

satellites to check the weather, find our way around, and for financial purposes.Space data gives us not just beautiful pictures of the earth, but also information about climate change, natural disasters and other things that can help humans with earthbound challenges.__19__Then how can we humans think as one big community Governments should make powerful panies ought to engage in shared practices and scientists are expected to think up practical methods.__20__ Only in this way can we keep those orbital highways open for the next generation and beyond before they are deadly blocked by space junk.A.They provide services closely related to our life.B.This is hard both technically and politically,though.C.Anyway, we should quicken the pace of clearing up.D.Space is getting increasingly crowded and dangerous.E.So we depend largely on space and it needs to be tidied up.F.Scientists are struggling for strategies to tackle the problem.G.All of these have been integrated into the solutions we really need.第二部分:语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。The year is 2094.It has been announced that a comet (彗星) is heading towards the

He set up the telescope he'd borrowed from his teacher on an open area near the baseball field, where the school baseball team was practicing. Marcus didn't like baseball; he was more interested in the stars. A solar eclipse was a special event, and he didn't want to miss it.While the baseball team practiced, Marcus paid no attention to them. As he looked through his telescope at the sun, the moon started covering it, creating a cool crescent shape (月牙形). Marcus was amazed by it. He wished he could share this moment with someone who loved it as much as he did.Then, the baseball coach, Bernardi, announced over the loud speaker that the baseball game was put off for 30 minutes because of the solar eclipse. Coach Bernardi's announcement brought Marcus back to reality. He realized he was alone near the baseball field, holding his telescope. He had been so into the eclipse that he didn't notice a baseball flying toward him. It hit the telescope and broke the lens (镜片).Marcus was angry, and he shouted, wondering who had thrown the baseball at him. He picked up the ball and headed toward the baseball field. He was worried about telling his teacher, Mr Baker, about the broken telescope. Sure, it wasn't his fault, but he had positioned the telescope near the baseball field, and he still felt he should take responsibility.As Marcus stepped onto the baseball field, he realized some fans and players were watching the eclipse. Each person was trying to get a chance to look through the telescopes that some fans had brought to watch the eclipse. Marcus noticed a boy running toward him. “I'm really sorry about what happened with your telescope. I didn't mean to break it. I should have been more careful,” said the boy, with a sincere expression.注意:1.续写词数应为150 左右; 2.请按如下格式作答。Marcus understood that it was just an accident. After a while, it was Marcus’s turn to look through the telescope.

Also, it reminds people of their family and friends far away. People feel reassured knowing that they are watching the same moon as if the moon could serve as their messenger.Human beings have never stopped exploring this closest neighbor. I believe it is of great significance. And I think moon exploration shows an important human trait, that is, curiosity about the unknown, which is the driving force that has brought our species this far.I hope you find what I've mentioned above interesting and reasonable. Looking forward to your reply.Yours,Li Hua第二节 参考范文:Marcus understood that it was just an accident. He appreciated the boy's honesty and forgave him immediately. Sensing Marcus's disappointment, the boy offered to share his own telescope with Marcus, which he had brought to watch the eclipse as well. Grateful for the boy's kindness, Marcus accepted the offer, and together they marveled at the wonder unfolding above them. The eclipse was a shared experience now, turning a moment of frustration into a bonding opportunity.After a while, it was Marcus's turn to look through the telescope. As he peered through the lens, the damaged lens of his own telescope was momentarily forgotten. The crescent sun was a breathtaking sight. Marcus felt a rush of excitement, realizing that the beauty of the universe could bring people together in unexpected ways. He turned to the boy and thanked him again. Together, they continued to observe the eclipse. As the moon moved past the sun and daylight returned, Marcus left the baseball field with a newfound appreciation for the unexpected connections life could offer, and a lesson learned about taking responsibility and turning a negative situation into a positive one. 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源预览
