There were events around the world in memory of those who died in the conflict. We
11、 have picked out three of them in European countries. Lets take a look. Belgium In a park, the famous Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen had an exhibition called Coming World, Remember Me. The work consisted of 600, 000 individual clay sculptures, one for each person killed during the World War. In the
12、 center of the exhibition was a big egg made of clay, symbolizing a new world. UK In a small town called Aldridge, almost 100 houses in one street were covered with 24,000 poppies and statues of soldiers. They stood for the men from the area who had been killed in the war. The flowers were chosen be
13、cause of a poem written by the Canadian doctor John McCrea in 1915. They made people think of fields of blood. France The British artist Guy Denning arrived in La Feuille, a small town in the northwest of France, to stick life-size drawings of soldiers who never came back home. Armed with glue and a
14、 brush, Denning stuck his drawings carefully on walls. Before long 112 men, mainly young adults, were brought back to mind, if not to life. 21. What do we know about Coming World, Remember Me? A. Its the name of an exhibition. B. Its a work standing for peace. C. Its a film about World War I. D. Its
15、 a sculpture made of clay. 22. Why were poppies chosen to symbolize the dead soldiers? A. The British people preferred them. B. A Canadian doctor suggested them. C. They showed the cruelty of war.

16、f some dead soldiers were put up. B. 112 wounded soldiers in the war were helped. 高三英语高三英语 （第 4 页 共 10 页） C. A memorial to the dead soldiers was built. D. Young adults were encouraged to join the army. B Alongside air and water, food is a necessity for human beings to survive and thrive. But its a l
17、ot more than that. As Mariette Dichristina of Scientific American wrote: “The most intimate (亲密的) relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow human being. Instead, it is between our bodies and our food.” Nowadays, for most people in the worlds wealthiest countries, food is a hobby, an enth
18、usiasm, and even something fashionable. Turn on the TV in the US, UK or France, and youll find at least one channel feeding this popular obsession. And most of us know at least one person who thinks of themselves as a “foodie”. Its almost impossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at
19、 least two or three photos of delicious meals appearing on our screen. But behind the fancy recipes and social media bragging (夸耀), many of us forget how much we take food for granted. This is why World Food Day is held each year. Take Kenya for example. This east African nation has been suffering t
20、errible droughts. The result is that people are beginning to starve. Children in particular are suffering, with some of them even dying. This may seem shocking to know, especially as many cultures outside of Africa think of food in a completely different way. But even in the UK, families on low inco
21、mes are forced to use food banksEuropean organizations that hand out donated food to those who cant afford to pay for it themselves. So what can we do on World Food Day? One good way to spend it would be to feel humble and appreciate what we have. After all, food is essential for survival, but not e

24、. How to Spend World Food Day C. Food Shortage in Some Countries D. Time to Appreciate Food C Traditionally, robots have been hard, made of metal and other rigid material. But a team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robotone that draws inspiration f
25、rom an octopus (章鱼). Described in science journal Nature, the “Octobot” could pave the way for more effective autonomous robots that could be used in search，rescue and exploration. “The Octobot is minimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft, autonomous robo
26、ts.” the studys authors wrote. Robots built for precise, repetitive movements in a controlled environment dont do so well on rough terrains (地形) or in unpredictable conditions. And they arent especially safe around humans, because theyre made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dan
27、gerous to their users. So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades. Theyre taken inspiration from nature, looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches, which are often made up of more flexible matter. But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge. Even if engi
28、neers build a silicone (硅 酮) body, its still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts, such as a source of power. “Although soft robotics is still in its early stage, it holds great promise for several applications, such as search-rescue operations and exploration,” Barbar
29、a Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology Center for Micro-BioRobotics wrote in a comment. “Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness and quality of life.” 28. Whats the special feature of “Octobot”？ A. Its very small. B. Its made of metal. C. I
30、ts soft. D. It looks like an octopus. 29. Whats the disadvantage of traditional robots? A. Theyre hard to control. B. They cant behave well all the time. C. They cant predict conditions. D. Theyre too heavy to move. 高三英语高三英语 （第 6 页 共 10 页） 30. One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobots _. A.
31、 silicone body B. complex components C. precise movements D. flexible power source 31. Whats the possible application of “Octobot”？ A. Medical research. B. House cleaning. C. Machine operation. D. Life rescue. D Whats small, buzzes here and there and visits flowers? If you said bees or hummingbirds,
32、 you got it. You wouldnt be the first if you mixed the two up. Now a group of researchers even say we should embrace our history of considering the two together in the same group. The way scientists study bees could help them study hummingbird behavior, too. Scientists first compared the two back in
33、 the 1970s when studying how animals search for food. The idea is that animals use a kind of math to make choices in order to minimize the work it takes to earn maximum rewards. Researchers at the time focused on movement rules, like the order in which they visited flowers, and where flowers were lo
34、cated relative to others. It was “almost like an algorithm(算法)” for efficient searching, said David Pritchard, a biologist at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Hummingbirds and bees had similar solutions. As the field of animal cognition(认知) appeared, hummingbird and bee research parted. Ne
35、uroscientists and behavioral ecologists developed ways to study bee behavior in naturalistic settings. Hummingbird researchers compared hummingbirds to other birds and borrowed methods from psychology to study their ability to learn in the lab. To be fair, hummingbirds and bees differ. For example,
36、hummingbirds have more advanced eyes and brains than bees. Honeybees and bumblebees are social; hummingbirds typically arent. But however they perceive(感知) or process information, they both experience similar information, Dr. Pritchard said. In day-to-day searching for food, for example, hummingbird
37、s may rely on more of a bees-eye view than a birds-eye view. Like other birds, they rely on landmarks, distances and directions to make maps when travelling long distances, but they dont use these cues to find flowers. Move a flower just an inch or so away from where a hummingbird thought it was and
38、 it will hover over the flowers original location. Dr. Pritchard is investigating if, like bees, hummingbirds engage in view matching hovering, scanning snapshots of a place to its memory and using those as references later. 32. What is the center of research on hummingbirds and bees in the 1970s? A
39、. Memory. B. Reward calculating. C. Movement rules. D. Information processing. 高三英语高三英语 （第 7 页 共 10 页） 33.

42、ontrol yourself, which will be very important. 36 No matter how much you want to sit with your friends during the class, try your best to avoid them.
