Hwever, the news f Lant and Rindra's cleft lip wasn't much f a shck fr Rlland and Adeline because Rlland's cusin—a man in his fifties—had lived his entire adult life with an untreated cleft lip.

With a brain the size f a pinhead, insects perfrm fantastic navigatinal （导航的）abilities. They avid bstacles and mve thrugh small penings. Hw d they d this, with their limited brain pwer? Understanding the inner wrkings f an insect's brain can help us in ur search twards energy-efficient cmputing, physicist Elisabetta Chicca f the University f Grningen demnstrates with her mst recent result: A rbt that acts like an insect.
In search f the neural（神经的） mechanism that drives insect behaviur, PhD student Thrben Schepe develped a mdel f its neurnal activity and a small rbt that uses this mdel t navigate. Schepe's mdel is based n ne main principle: always steer twards the area with the least apparent mtin.
He had his rbt drive thrugh a lng "crridr"—cnsisting f tw walls with a randm print n it—and the rbt centred in the middle f the crridr, as insects tend t d. In ther virtual envirnments, such as a space with bstacles r small penings, Schepe's mdel als shwed similar behaviur t insects.
"The mdel is s gd," Chicca cncludes, "that nce yu set it up, it will perfrm in all kinds f envirnments. That's the beauty f this result."
The fact that a rbt can navigate in a realistic envirnment is nt new. Rather, the mdel gives insight int hw insects d the jb, and hw they manage t d things s efficiently.
Chicca explains, "Much f rbtics is nt cncerned with efficiency. We humans tend t learn new tasks as we grw up and within rbtics. This is reflected in the current trend f machine learning. But insects are able t fly immediately frm birth. An efficient way f ding that is hardwired in their brains. In a similar way, yu culd make cmputers mre efficient."
8. Why des Chicca want t study hw the insect brain wrks?
A . T make cmputers mre efficient. B . T make use f insects' brain pwer. C . T understand the habit f insects. D . T reveal the inner part f insects' brain.
9. What des the underlined wrd "steer" in paragraph 2 mean?
A . Stretch. B . Stare. C . Drive. D . Wrk.
10. Hw did Chicca feel at the perfrmance f her rbt?
A . Regretful. B . Shcked. C . Cnfused. D . Satisfied.
11. What are the last tw paragraphs mainly abut?
A . Hw t make a rbt that acts like an insect. B . Why insects navigate mre efficiently than rbts. C . Why a rbt can navigate in a realistic envirnment. D . Hw humans tend t learn new tasks as they grw up.
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
We cannt argue with reality. We cannt argue with science. Therefre, we simply cannt argue with the fact that there are n straight lines in the universe.
Let's start with science. The science f a straight line falls under the subject f physics. It might seem like a cmplicated tpic, but the thery behind it is pretty simple. If yu start rwing in a bat frm ne place and keep sailing, the cncept f the curved（弯曲的） Earth will take yu in a circle and yu will end up where yu started. The brain frms the cncept f a straight line t simplify what yu see in nature. Cnsider it a tl fr the mind t recgnize reality.
The cncept f straight lines was cntrversial and heavily influenced the plitics and sciety f Eurpe frm the 15th century t the 17th century. Greek thinkers and schlars like Aristtle in the 5th century already prved that the Earth was a glbe, but many Eurpeans at that time did nt believe in this idea! Hwever, sme Eurpeans during the Age f Explratin denied this belief. Just as the famus Italian scientist Galile Galilei was persecuted（迫害） fr advcating a helicentric （日心的） mdel f the slar system, many thinkers like Girdan Brun were shamed fr believing that the Earth was rund.
Well, my friends, let's mve n t life. The cncept f nthing ging in a straight line can be assciated with life as much as it relates t science and architecture. Whenever yu d smething, it never turns ut t play ut exactly as planned. I especially knw that as a thirteen-year-ld! Life is a rugh rad—every time yu g frward, it is fllwed by tw steps back r t the side. Just like hw science explains it, life is a curvy path full f unexpected twists, turns, and adventures that nbdy can ever predict.
12. What des paragraph 1 functin as?
A . An intrductin t the tpic. B . A means t attract readers. C . An explanatin f a cmmn sense. D . A prf f the authr's pinin.
13. What wuld happen withut the cncept f straight line?
A . The mind culd nt recgnize realities. B . Things in nature might lk cmplicated. C . What yu see in nature culd seem simple. D . Peple in the 16th century might find the Earth flat.
14. Which can best describe the rad f prving the Earth rund?
A . Plain and smth. B . Easy but fruitless. C . Lng and tugh. D . Bthersme but safe.
15. What's the best title fr the text?
A . A Straight Line: Everything Simple B . A Straight Line: Peple's Gd Wish C . A Straight Line: Difficult T Prve D . A Straight Line: Simply Nnexistent

An internatinal team f astrnmers used a database cmbining bservatins frm the best telescpes in the wrld 36 (detect) the signal frm the active supermassive black hles f dying galaxies（星系） in the early universe. The 37 (appear) f these active supermassive black hles is related t changes in the hst galaxy. This means a black hle culd have far reaching effects 38 the evlutin f its hst galaxy.
The Milky Way Galaxy 39 we live includes stars f varius ages, including stars still frming. But in sme ther galaxies, 40 (knw) as elliptical（椭圆的） galaxies, all f the stars are ld and abut the same age. This indicates that early in 41 (they) histries elliptical galaxies had a perid f rich star frmatin that suddenly ended. Why this star frmatin stpped in sme galaxies 42 nt thers is nt well understd. One pssibility is that a supermassive black hle disrupts（瓦解） the gas in sme galaxies, 43 (create) an envirnment unsuitable fr star frmatin.
T test this thery, astrnmers lk at distant galaxies. Due t the limited speed f light, it takes time fr light t travel acrss the vid f space. The light we saw last night frm an bject 10 billin light years away 44 (travel) fr 10 billin years t reach Earth. Thus the light we see tday shws us what the galaxy lked like when the light left that galaxy 10 billin years ag. S lking at distant galaxies is like lking back in time. But the lnger distance als means that distant galaxies lk 45 (small), making study mre difficult.

As I was lking fr a new flat, I was temprarily staying at a lvely small htel. Unfrtunately, during that time, I was due t participate in an nline cnference fr an entire week.

The next day, when I returned frm my breakfast, my rm had already been cleaned. The same happened n the fllwing day. On Friday, I finished my breakfast quicker than usual and the cleaning lady was just heading ut. She smiled and said that she was happy that even thugh I ate quicker than usual, she was still able t finish in time.
I finally realized that all this time, she had been keeping an eye n when I headed fr breakfast s she culd clean my rm. Given that lking fr a flat in a new city and wrking in ne f the smallest htel rms in Lndn were already very stressful, I was incredibly mved.
