第二节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)

阅读下列短文,从每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

  My son was badly hurt in a fire. After he  31 from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months  32 it took long for the skin to stop shrinking(收缩). So,he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch  33 on his face.

  I said to my son,“Keaton, 34 will pay any more attention to your scar  35 you do. If it does not bother you, it will not bother 36 .”He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head 37 high—glad he was alive.

   38 , everyone has scars and shortcomings. Some of you may spend much time thinking that people would like you better,  39 you looked different, or dressed differently, or could have a different and newer 40 .

  But you see, like Keaton’s scar, people will only judge you by your looks ,or your  41 , or you car, if you are judging yourself by these same false  42 .

  One of my friends in college was very 43 . At first, when people met him, they noticed his  44 for about 10 seconds. This man felt 45 about himself and spent most of his time  46 about other people’s comfort and welfare.  47 ,people ignored his looks. What people 48 was his kindness and his concern for them. He didn’t act in an ugly way so people didn’t treat him as an ugly man.

  Therefore,concentrate on what you value 49 yourself,because if you can see that beautiful person,everyone you are in contact with will see the same 50 .

  Ever wondered how one person could save the planet from the effects of climate change?

  A British-made computer game on trial release on Monday creates different ways of doing just that.

  “Fate of the World”puts the Earth’s future in players’ hands, placing them in charge of an international environmental body which could save the world from the effects of rising greenhouse gas emissions(排放)or let it destroyed by more emissions.

  Through different scenes, players can explore options such as geoengineering(地球工程)and alternative energy sources to save the planet from rising temperatures, decreasing natural resources and a growing population over the next 200 years.

  An improved version of the game will be followed by a three-month feedback period from players, with final release due in February next year.

  Created by Oxford-based games developer Red Redemption, the game is different from other mainstream action games mainly by using data from real climate models and advice from scientists and economists.

  “Science data is often inaccessible and we are trying to put players in a position of power and connected with the issues, ” Gobion Rowlands, Red Redemption’s founder and chairman said.

  This year, a series of apparent errors in climate science and the failure of UN talks to reach an international deal to cut greenhouse gas emissions appeared to weaken the public’s interest in climate change.

  However, games centered on sustainability(持续性)and human rights have been growing in popularity and are welcomed by green groups as a way of raising awareness.Using climate change as inspiration for entertainment shows the issue has affected global culture, which can only be a good thing.Friends of the Earth's head of climate Mike Childs said.“We need creative industries to work with these big issues as the results can be extremely powerful and can help us to understand what a sustainable future looks and feels like, ”he added.

  Life is difficult.

  This is a great truth.It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.

  Most people do not fully see this truth.Instead, they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy.It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.

  Life is a series of problems.Do we want to complain about them or solve them?

  What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one.Problems, depending on their nature, cause in us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear.These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain.Indeed, it is because of the pain which we have experienced that we call them problems.And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.

  Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.Problems are the serious test that distinguishes(区别)between success and failure.It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we challenge and encourage the human capacity(能力)to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve.It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn.As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct.” It is for this reason that wise persons learn not to fear but actually to welcome the pain of problems.

(1)

Which sentence best expresses the central point of the passage?

[  ]

A.

Problems and difficulties represent a special kind of suffering.

B.

We become stronger mentally and physically by facing and solving problems of life.

C.

Life is difficult because our problems bring us pain.

D.

People like to complain about their problems.

(2)

Which sentence best expresses the main idea of Paragraph 3?

[  ]

A.

Most people feel life is easy.

B.

Life should be easy for most people.

C.

The author likes to complain about his problems.

D.

Most people complain about how hard their lives are.

(3)

The quotation from Benjamin Franklin, “Those things that hurt, instruct.” suggests that ________.

[  ]

A.

we do not learn from experience

B.

we do not learn when we are in pain

C.

pain teaches us important lessons

D.

pain cannot be avoided

Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C andD.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

  A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly.The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems.Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly.Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.

  “It's extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components(元件), ” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade.A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components.“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own, ” he said.

  They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly.“The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it's connected to, ” said Wood.The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems.Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.

  While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield.“Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around, ” he said.

  Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale.Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications.“You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead, ” he said.“So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”(392 words)

(1)

The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that ________.

[  ]

A.

they had no model in their mind

B.

they did not have sufficient time

C.

they had no ready-made components

D.

they could not assemble the components

(2)

It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly ________.

[  ]

A.

consists of a flight device and a control system

B.

can just fly in limited areas at the present time

C.

can collect information from many sources

D.

has been put into wide application

(3)

Which of the following can be learned from the passage?

[  ]

A.

The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.

B.

Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.

C.

There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.

D.

Wood's design can replace animals in some experiments.

(4)

Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

[  ]

A.

Father of Robotic Fly

B.

Inspiration from Engineering Science

C.

Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect

D.

Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study
