28、e Village.I was about 3 years old.Mother would take me on nature hikes along the small rivers banks.In the bushes we found insects,cocoons(茧)and butterflies.She made a butterfly net forme.While running after a butterfly in our back yard,I put the net down.Mother and I builtsnowmen,much taller than I

31、 drove off to see his Dad,who was dying in Garnett.Mom said,“Oh,kids,were only here for such a short time.”Her words were also kindof scary to me at the time,because what I heard her say was that we are all destined(注定)todie,and she had told me once before that she was afraid to die.I guessed her me
32、ssage wasmore than“Our life on earth is short and we are all destined to die”She meant that“Make themost of life while you can,here on earth.Reach for the stars!”.Mother also said“Oh,kids!Well have the stars!”She had 5 of the stars shed brought onto this earth.In 1963,6th star wasadded,named Kip.All

37、na is the writers daughter-in-lawDOlivia must be the writers mothers grandchildCSucking blood is a risky business.At least for the female mosquitoes that need thesenutrients to nurture their developing eggs.Not only do these bugs have to find a suitable blooddonor,but once theyve had their fill,they
38、 have to be able to escape undetectedto avoid thebig swat.How they finesse this stealthy departure has just been revealed in the Journal ofExperimental Biology.Feasting(饱餐)on an unsuspecting mammal can double a mosquitos body mass.So howdoes a fully loaded female heave that added bulk off the skin o
39、f her host without triggering itspressure sensors and bringing on that fateful slap?To find out,Florian Muijres of WageningenUniversity in The Netherlands and his colleagues used cameras that record 13,500 frames persecond to capture the takeoff maneuvers of 63 blood-fed malarial mosquitoes.What the
40、y discovered is,when it comes to a soft yet speedy getaway.for female skeeters,the wings the thing.With a wingbeat frequency of about 600 beats per second.the insects are天津市嘉诚中学 2023 届高三统练(一)英语试卷第 8页(共 11 页)able to lift themselves lightly off their host.That approach is the opposite of the one favor
41、ed bymost other winged things,says Muijres.When most flying animals when they take off,like birds or a fly for example,they firstuse their legs to push off very hard,and then when they are in the air,then they start beatingtheir wings and generate aerodynamic lift(气动升力)to be able to fly away.Mosquit
42、o does itthe other way around.It first starts beating its wings and through the aerodynamic forces thesewings generate,their body is being lifted off from the substrate.And then they do gently alsopush down with their long legs to be able to further power their liftoff.But these forces that arebeing
43、 generated by the legs are relatively small.In fact,the faint flutter of a mosquitos wings produces less than one third of the forceexerted by similar-sized but much less subtle fruit flies as they shove off in search of anotherbanana.And even on a full stomach,these bloodsuckers are stunningly fast
44、,says Muijres.Sotakeoff phase takes only about 30 milliseconds,which is 10 times faster than how fast we canblink our eye.And theyre gone before we know what hit us.And before we can hit them.46What does the passage mainly talk about?AHow mosquitoes get nutrients for their developing eggs.BHow mosqu

49、 in any hurry,either,I hadmerely become one more victim of a national sickness:motorosis.It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune,for I was bred in the tradition ofgoing to places on my own two legs.At that time,we regarded 25 miles as a good days walkand the ability to cover such a dis
50、tance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill.It did notoccur to us that walking was a hardship.And the effect was lasting.When I was 45 years old Iraced and beat a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Statue of Liberty.Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as ba
