“Having a baby unexpectedly at 41 is ne thing; having twins is a whle ther beast, ” says the glbal entertainment editr.
Actually, until her pregnancy Quarles had been living at breakneck speed. It went s until last year. “I was exhausted,” she says. “I’d been wrking three jbs, ding my charity and ging nnstp. I was afraid my mental health was getting wrse.” In early August she tk herself t the hspital, t see if she was OK. Dctrs ran multiple tests and tld her that she had had an anxiety attack, and she was 11 weeks pregnant.
“She was stressed and decmpensated (代谢失调的), s everything just came t mre than she culd handle at the time,” explains dctr Miriam Barnes, wh began treating her. “Frtunately, she tried t be psitive and seek help frm me immediately. I tld her nt t have any medicatin at that stage and advised her t take natural therapy (疗法).”
A week later Quarles learned that she was having twins. But instead f that news adding t her anxiety, “a ttal peace came ver me, and it felt like it all made sense,” she says. Quarles, wh did nt take any medicatin, returned hme t her lved nes in Nrth Carlina, where she gave birth t Hudsn and Harlw n Feb. 16. “There’s nthing like family,” she says. “I fund ut thrugh wrking n myself in natural therapy that there were a lt f things I hadn’t dealt with. I just kept ging.”
These days Quarles uses scial media t dcument her jyful mtherhd jurney. Quarles has put her anxiety behind but remains in therapy — and wants t encurage thers wh feel stressed t get help. “At first I felt guilty and embarrassed,” she admits. “I dn’t anymre. My message is yu can fall dwn. But yu can stand up, by yurself r with the help f thers. It’s nt a shame, and it’s a blessing.”

As we all knw, insects can be remarkably agile (灵活的) in flight. This is really hard t build int flying rbts, but MIT Assistant Prfessr Kevin Yufeng Chen has develped an insect-sized drne (无人机) that appraches insects’ agility.
Typically, drnes require wide pen spaces. “If we lk at mst drnes tday, they’re usually quite big,” says Chen. “Mst f their applicatins invlve flying utdrs. The questin is: Can yu create an insect-sized drne that can mve arund in very crwded and cmplex spaces?”
Accrding t Chen, he vercame many prblems when building the drne. The insect-sized drne requires a fundamentally different cnstructin frm a larger ne. The large drne is usually pwered by a mtr, but the mtr lses efficiency as yu shrink it. S, Chen says, “Fr an insect-sized drne, yu need t lk fr alternatives.” The principal alternative until nw has been emplying a small, rigid actuatr (执行器) built frm new materials. Chen designed a mre agile tiny drne using sft actuatrs instead f hard nes.
Each actuatr can beat nearly 500 times per secnd and weighs just 0.6 gram, apprximately the mass f a large bee. It gives the drne insect-like agility. “Yu can hit it when it’s flying, and it can recver,” says Chen. “It can als turn ver in the air.” The drne lks a bit like a tiny cassette tape with wings, thugh Chen is als wrking n a new ne shaped like a dragnfly.
Chen says his drne can be useful in industry and agriculture. It can perfrm machinery inspectins t ensure safety and functin. Its ptential applicatins include cmpleting search-and-rescue missins fllwing a disaster. “All thse things can be very difficult fr existing large-scale drnes,” Chen explains.
8．What can we knw abut the actuatr designed by Chen?
A．It weighs abut six grams.
B．It drives the insect-sized drne.
C．It lses efficiency t much.
D．It emplys cnventinal materials.
9．Which wrd can best describe Chen’s wrk?
A．Easy.B．Cstly.C．Fruitless.D．Challenging.
10．What des the last paragraph mainly tell us abut the new drne?
A．Its safety standards.B．Its flying range.
C．Its pssible applicatins.D．Its design principle.
11．Which is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A．An Insect-like Small Drne
B．The Future f Insect-sized Drnes
C．Hw Drnes Will Change the Agriculture
D．What Challenge Drne Develpment Faces
D
Science is a prcess that builds upn existing theries and knwledge by cntinuusly revising them. Every aspect f scientific knwledge can be questined, including the general rules f thinking that appear t be mst certain. S why is science trustwrthy if it is always changing? If tmrrw we will n lnger see the wrld as Newtn r Einstein fund it t be, why shuld we take seriusly tday’s scientific descriptin f the wrld?
The answer is simple: Because at any given mment f ur histry, this descriptin f the wrld is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can’t diminish (降低) the fact that it is a useful instrument fr understanding the wrld.
Cnsider a flk healer’s herbal medicine. Can we say this treatment is “scientific”? Yes, if it is prven t be effective, even if we have n idea why it wrks. In fact, quite a few cmmn medicatins used tday have their rigin in flk treatments, and we are still nt sure hw they wrk. This des nt imply that flk treatments are generally effective. T the cntrary, many f them are nt. What distinguishes scientific medicine is the readiness t seriusly test a treatment and t be ready t change ur minds if smething is shwn nt t wrk. A research dctr in a mdern hspital must be ready t change his thery if a mre effective way f understanding illness, r treating it, becmes available.
What makes mdern science uniquely pwerful is its refusal t believe that it already pssesses ultimate truth. The reliability f science is based nt n certainty but n a cmplete absence f certainty. As Jhn Stuart Mill wrte in “On Liberty” in 1859, “The beliefs which we have mst warrant (依据) fr, have n safeguard t rest n, but a standing invitatin t the whle wrld t prve them unfunded.”
12．Why des the authr raise the tw questins in paragraph 1?
A．T add sme fun.B．T express dubts.
C．T intrduce the tpic.D．T prvide backgrund.
13．What can we learn abut tday’s scientific descriptin f the wrld?
A．It can be timeless.B．It can be imprved.
C．It is f little value.D．It is the best at any mment.
14．What is the authr’s attitude tward flk treatment?
A．Dismissive.B．Objective.C．Pessimistic.D．Sympathetic.
15．What is the main idea f paragraph 4?
A．It is unwise t believe in science.
B．T much uncertainty lies in science.
C．The fundatin f science is unfunded.
D．The lack f certainty makes science credible.

Chen designed a mre agile tiny drne using sft actuatrs instead f hard nes.”（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。
9．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Accrding t Chen, he vercame many prblems when building the drne. The insect-sized drne requires a fundamentally different cnstructin frm a larger ne. The large drne is usually pwered by a mtr, but the mtr lses efficiency as yu shrink it.”（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。
10．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Chen says his drne can be useful in industry and agriculture. It can perfrm machinery inspectins t ensure safety and functin. Its ptential applicatins include cmpleting search-and-rescue missins fllwing a disaster.”（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。
11．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“This is really hard t build int flying rbts, but MIT Assistant Prfessr Kevin Yufeng Chen has develped an insect-sized drne (无人机) that appraches insects’ 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Kevin Yufeng Chen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。

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了尽管科学总是在变化，但是它还是值得信赖的原因。
12．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“S why is science trustwrthy if it is always changing? If tmrrw we will n lnger see the wrld as Newtn r Einstein fund it t be, why shuld we take seriusly tday’s scientific descriptin f the wrld?(那么，如果科学总是在变化，为什么它是值得信赖的呢？如果明天我们看到的世界不再像牛顿或爱因斯坦发现的那样，我们为什么要认真对待今天对世界的科学描述呢？)”及下文论述可推知，作者在第一段中提出了两个问题是为了引入文章话题。故选C。
13．细节理解题。根据第二段“The answer is simple: Because at any given mment f ur histry, this descriptin f the wrld is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can’t diminish (降低) the fact that it is a useful instrument fr understanding the wrld.(答案很简单：因为在我们历史的任何时刻，这种对世界的描述都是我们拥有的最好的描述。它可以变得更好这一事实不能削弱它是理解世界的有用工具这一事实)”可知，今天对世界的科学描述还可以改进。故选B。
14．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Cnsider a flk healer’s herbal medicine. Can we say this treatment is “scientific”? Yes, if it is prven t be effective, even if we have n idea why it wrks.

T the cntrary, many f them are nt.(考虑一下民间治疗师的草药。我们能说这种治疗是“科学的”吗？是的，如果它被证明是有效的，即使我们不知道它为什么有效。事实上，今天使用的许多常用药物都起源于民间治疗，我们仍然不确定它们是如何起作用的。这并不意味着民间疗法通常是有效的。相反，许多民间疗法并非如此)”可知，作者既陈述了民间治疗的优点，又提到了不足。由此推知，作者对民间治疗持客观态度。故选B。
15．主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“What makes mdern science uniquely pwerful is its refusal t believe that it already pssesses ultimate truth. The reliability f science is based nt n certainty but n a cmplete absence f certainty.(现代科学之所以具有独特的力量，是因为它拒绝相信自己已经掌握了终极真理。科学的可靠性不是建立在确定的基础上，而是建立在完全不确定的基础上)”可知，第四段主要论述了缺乏确定性使得科学可信。故选D。
