25、ng point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it. Liz went back to school.

33、hout an artist's permission. This can lead to many problems, and music companies are now cracking down on this practice. Sharing music online without permission is theft. Sharing music online prevents recording companies from making money from their efforts. They say that sharing music online ha
34、s resulted in a huge drop in profits and sales over the past 10 years. People who find music for free online are not paying for CDs or every MP3 downloaded. To truly understand the influence of music piracy on creators, one must understand how many people are involved in the recording process. For t
35、he sale of each album, profits must be shared between musicians, sound engineers, music producers, managers, advertisers, and the company selling the product. Many people believe sharing music only affects the recording artist, but the reality is that sharing hurts business for all companies involve
36、d. There are many people who don't see the harm in sharing music online and even think they have the right to do it. One online blogger states that he originally paid for an entire CD and that he should be able to do with the material whatever he wants. While he may have legally paid for the mus
37、ic, he does not have the right to provide permission, which means people like the blogger are thieves. Although we don't spread today's music the same way we did before, there's no doubt that people around the world love to share music. However, internet piracy would prevent musicians fr
38、om continuing producing albums for fear of theft. Therefore, if people want to continue listening to their favorite artists, they need to buy their music so that artists will make enough profit to continue their music careers. 28.

42、C. disapproval D. skeptical D 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（综合的综合的） systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the si
43、ze of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks. “Its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components（零部件零部件）,” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has b
44、een 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
45、 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（相互依赖性相互依赖性） on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to
46、everything its 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
47、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 des
48、ign 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 英语试卷英语试卷 第第 8 8 页页( (共共 1212 页页) ) scientific questions,
49、 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.” 32. Which of the following statements was
50、 the difficulty engineers met while making the robotic fly? A. They did not have sufficient fund. B. There was no model in their mind. C. No ready-made components were available. D. It was hard for them to put together the components. 33. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4? A.
51、 The robotic fly has been put into wide application. B. The robotic fly consists of a flight device and a control system. C. Information from many sources can be collected by the robotic fly. D. The robotic fly can just fly in limited areas at present. 34. Which of the following can be learned from the passage? A. Woods design can replace animals in some experiments. B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments. C. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects. D. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly. 35. Which of the following might be t
