The machines could be used to help astronauts on space missions, and even to help bees with plant pollination(授粉). However, fitting the heavy electric equipment that is used to power and control the wings into the tiny robot has been challenging. Now here comes a special flying robot- RoboBee X-Wing. It is the world’s lightest aerial vehicle that can fly not tied to a power source.Made by Harvard researchers, the insect-inspired robot weighs only 259 milligrams, has four wings whose distance is 3.5 centimeters, and stands 6.5 centimeters high. Its four small wings, which can flap(拍动) up to 170 times a second, are controlled by actuators(驱动器). Six small solar cells are fitted above the wings to provide the power.To test its flying abilities, the team, led by Dr. Noah Jafferis and PhD student Elizabeth Helbling, exposed the RoboBee X-Wing’s solar cells to LED lighting. To their delight, the tiny robot’s wings began to flap, and it rose, keeping a flight for about half a second. Though the robot lost its flight ability as soon as the power source was turned off, its short flight was cheered for its huge effect on the future of tiny flying robots.However, though the current RoboBee X-Wing is a step in the right direction, it is not quite ready for practical use. The researchers also hope to experiment with other power sources, such as batteries, sun light or radio frequency signals, and to add more advanced “brains” and sensor systems to help the robot navigate and complete tasks independently.(    )14. What is special about RoboBee X-Wing?A. It is for dangerous tasks.                      B. It can fly for a long time.C. It can fly not tied to a power source.             D. It is powered directly by the sunlight .(    )15. How does the writer describe RoboBee X-Wing in Paragraph 2?A. By using figures.                             B. By giving examples.C. By stating arguments                         D. By providing research results.(    )16. What is the situation facing RoboBee X-Wing?A. It can’t be used in crowded places.B. It will be used for giving directions.C. It will be powered by radio signals.D. It still can’t be used widely at present.(    )17. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Health. B. Science. C. Education. D. Entertainment. (C)Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.I’ve seen friends deal with it all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself(懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.” He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed (供认) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor. Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.(    )18. This passage is most probably written by ________.A. a specialist in teenager studies                   B. a headmaster of a middle schoolC. a parent with teenage children                   D. a doctor for mental health problems(    )19. The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as ________.A. lazy B. rude C. unusual D. quiet(    )20. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”.A. the parents’ opinion B. the terrible animalC. the teenage problem D. the parents’ advice(    )21. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters ________.A. pay no attention to them                   B. are too busy to look after themC. have come to hate them                    D. feel helpless to do much about them (D)When I was a child, I often saw my Grandma throwing bread that was no longer fresh to birds. Not surprisingly, this attracted few birds. Later on, we discovered bird food at the local store. Feeding garden birds in the UK has come a long way since then. Today, the birds can enjoy many kinds of food: from plant seeds to sunflower hearts and from cakes to meat balls. All this comes at a huge cost of about £200m a year. Sometimes, I wonder if we might be feeding our garden birds better than our kids. But maybe it’s worth it. Our generosity is having an important effect on the behavior and even evolution of these birds.Take the goldfinch for example. In the 1960s, this was a rare bird. Today, goldfinches can be seen in many gardens. Other new visitors include the spotted woodpecker, which has left its usual woodland for food on bird tables. Evolution is meant to progress slowly: over thousands of years. Yet during the past few decades, the beaks of many kinds of birds have become longer because birds with longer beaks can get more food, and then are more likely to live on.Actually, the British habit of feeding garden birds goes back much further. During the sixth century, St Serf of Fife fed a robin in his garden; during the winter of 1890, workers in London were seen giving their lunches to songbirds. The real change took place in the 1980s, when a few farsighted businessmen realized that encouraging the British to be more generous to garden birds can help them make money. Therefore, various kinds of bird food and modern bird feeders were produced. As a result, the number of species using garden feeding stations increased very quickly, from about 10 to over 100. Then, in 2005, Springwatch came, which turned our love of garden birds into an entertainment show.Is bird feeding completely good for birds? Not everyone thinks so. Studies by the Zoological Society of London have shown that by bringing together many birds, bird feeders may help the spread of disease. In Australia, some bird experts believe—probably wrongly—that bird feeding creates a “dependence culture”.But we shouldn’t forget one major benefit of feeding garden birds—it connects millions of people to the natural world. This is especially important for people who seldom reach the wider countryside. As I write this, there comes some noise outside my window: several birds were singing and flying around in my garden. It’s a sight I could only imagine years ago, when feeding garden birds just meant throwing hard bread to them.(    )22. What does the author mean by saying the underlined part in Paragraph 1?A. Feeding garden birds is a huge waste of money.B. We spend quite a lot of money on the food of garden birds.C. We should care more for our kids rather than garden birds.D. Feeding garden birds can bring more joy than feeding kids.(    )23. Which is the reason behind the fact that many birds’ beaks become longer?A. These birds have given up traditional woodland. B. Food for these birds becomes richer and better.C. Longer beaks mean more chances of survival. D. These birds grow faster than ever before.(    )24. What do some bird experts in Australia think of bird feeding?A. It is completely good for birds.B. It may help the spread of disease.C. It connects more and more people to the natural world.D. It may reduce birds’ ability to find food by themselves.(    )25. How does the author feel when he hears bird noise outside his window?A Annoyed. B. Pleased. C. Surprised. D. Bored. 三、信息还原 （共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A: Hi, Jack!

In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people EVERY HOUR! Russia's population could fall by ONE THIRD by the year 2050! And in Poland (波兰) the population is also going down because people are leaving to work in other countries.   One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. All over Europe people, especially educated women, have a different attitude(态度) to children than their parents. "I have one child and she is enough for me," said Galina Tereschkova, a doctor from Moscow. "My husband and I both work full—time. We can't imagine having more than one child." Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. "I don't want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years," said 19-year-old student Hana Markova from Prague. Her opinion is typical of 18~24 year old women everywhere in Europe.   In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Even so, the population of those four countries and many other countries in West Europe is also going down.   Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France, women now receive nearly $1,000 a month for a year if they have a third child. Austrian women receive $700 a month for three years when they have their first child.54. Why is the population in Poland going down?   _____________________________________________________55. What does Hana Markova want to do before she has children?   _____________________________________________________56. How does the French government encourage people to have larger families now?   _____________________________________________________ 八、书面表达 (满分25分)假如你是某中学学生李华，最近你班发生了一件令人感动的事情。请根据以下提示，给你的英国好友Tom写一封信，与他分享你的感动。1）两周前同学王红伤了左腿。2）王红上下楼很困难，但想来。3）校长知道后，决定将你班从四楼搬到一楼。4）你们帮助王红（如买午饭等）。5）你认为……要求：1）词数：80~100个。2）开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。3）要点齐全，行文连贯，可适当发挥。Dear Tom,How are you?
